Questions and answers regarding the NEW KNOX CHOICE-OF-FOODS diet:
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
Q. IS THIS NEW DIET BASED ON SOUND REDUCING PRINCIPLES YOUR DOCTOR WILL
OK?
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
A. _Indeed he will_ ... because the CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET is based on
sound nutritional principles with which your doctor has had a great deal
of experience. For many years the medical profession has advised the use
of Food Exchange Lists[1] where proper diet is of the utmost importance
to the patient’s very existence ... as in the case of the diabetic.
Naturally, this system of dieting must provide with unfailing accuracy,
the proper amounts of protein, minerals and vitamins essential to good
health at all times.
Now, these carefully and scientifically developed Food Exchanges (or, as
we call them ... CHOICES) have been adjusted to a reducing diet, making
it one that can actually improve your health as well as control your
weight.
Q. IF YOU HAVE TRIED OTHER WAYS OF REDUCING WITHOUT SUCCESS ... WHY WILL
THE CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET SOLVE YOUR WEIGHT PROBLEM?
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
A. _Weight control normally involves just 2 factors_:
the knowledge of a few simple rules of nutrition and your own will power
to carry them out. First of all, there’s no mystery about why you’ve put
on weight. You’ve been eating more food than your body burns up ... so,
this extra food has turned to fat. You _will_ lose extra weight on this
safe, sound diet ... because you’ll be eating fewer calories[2] than
needed and will force your body to use the stored fat. You’ll find the
CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET is _more_ than a way to get rid of excess weight
right now. It is a basic guide to good eating habits for anyone ... fat
or thin. It will teach you _what foods_ and how much of them to eat to
get slim and _stay_ slim.
Q. IS THIS A MONOTONOUS “SAME FOODS EVERY DAY” DIET ... OR IS IT A
VARIED ONE YOU’LL FIND EASY TO STICK TO?
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
A. _The Knox Choice-of-Foods diet offers you a wide variety of good_,
normal _foods_ ... not extreme or faddish ones, from which to prepare
meals you and your family will enjoy. In fact, the only way your family
will know you’re dieting will be when they see you take smaller
portions. A diet that allows you to eat such favorites as steak, baked
potatoes, seafood and delicious desserts is one you’ll find easy to
follow ... even long after you’ve reached your weight goal.
Q. DO YOU HAVE TO SPEND TIME COUNTING CALORIES AND WORRYING ABOUT
BALANCED MEALS?
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
A. _No, and this is one good reason why you’ll find it so easy to stay
on the Knox Choice-of-Foods diet._
It does most of the work for you! As you look at the key to this
reducing plan—the CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET LISTS (shown on pull-out chart
following page 18) you will quickly see that the foods you must eat
classify into 6 simple lists. _The foods in amounts indicated in each of
these lists are nutritional equals._
FOR EXAMPLE:
Under the Meat List you will find seven foods ... each one having the
_same amount of protein, carbohydrate, fat and calories_—
Meat and poultry (Beef, lamb, pork, liver, chicken)
Cold Cuts (Salami, minced ham, Bologna, liverwurst, luncheon loaf)
Frankfurter
Egg
Fish (Haddock, flounder, bass, salmon, tuna, crab, lobster, shrimp,
clams, oysters, sardines)
Cheese (Cheddar type, cottage)
Peanut butter
If yours is the 1200 daily calorie diet ... and calls for 4 of the foods
on the Meat List ... just select _any_ 4 of the foods you wish (in the
quantity indicated) without thinking about calories and you can’t go
wrong. _The calories have already been counted for you when the list was
prepared._
Q. WHY DOES PROTEIN PLAY SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THIS DIET?
A. _Because this particular nutrient is a vital key to feeling, looking
and doing your best at all times._ The more science proves about
protein, the more we know of its importance in the daily diet. _Your
body can’t store protein ... you must have a new supply of it every day
to build and renew body tissues._ You can readily see, then, why protein
is so necessary in reducing diets. Without it, body tissues waste away,
muscles sag and pep lags.
Q. HOW SOON WILL YOU SEE RESULTS ON THIS REDUCING DIET?
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
A. _You will lose from one to three pounds[3] a week._ However, don’t be
discouraged if you lose slowly at first or if you lose at an irregular
rate. Remember, you gained all these extra pounds over a period of time.
Give yourself time to lose them.
Q. IF YOU GET HUNGRY ... ARE “BETWEEN-MEAL” SNACKS ALLOWED ON THIS DIET?
A. _Yes! Because they not only make dieting more pleasant, they are
necessary!_ Nutritionally, a “between-meal” snack does two things: gives
dieters an “energy lift” needed at late morning and late afternoon.
Also, it dulls the appetite, making the dieter content with less food at
the next meal. Remember, however, these snacks must be kept within your
daily calorie pattern!
Choice-of-Foods diet allows you to have the famous Knox High-Protein
Gelatine Drink 3 times a day.
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
(Yes, this is the same concentrated protein drink doctors have
recommended for years ... as a pleasant way to get more protein in the
daily diet of persons whose daily intake of this vital nutrient may be
inadequate.) In the reducing diet, the Knox Drink works 3 ways:
1. It’s a wonderfully refreshing and filling “between-meal” treat
2. It curbs your appetite, so you are satisfied with less food
3. It supplies you with _additional protein, a must_ when you are
taking off excess weight.
Take the Knox High-Protein Drink ½ hour before meals
... _IN EITHER OF THESE APPETIZING WAYS:_
AS A COLD DRINK (WITH FRUIT JUICES)
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
Empty 1 envelope Knox Gelatine in ¾ glass of orange juice, other fruit
juices or water, not iced. Let liquid absorb the gelatine. Then stir
briskly. Drink quickly. If it thickens, add more liquid, stir again.
AS A HOT DRINK (WITH BOUILLON)
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
Sprinkle 1 envelope Knox Gelatine on ¼ cup cold water to soften. Add 1
bouillon cube and ¾ cup boiling water. Stir until gelatine and bouillon
cube are thoroughly dissolved. ¾ cup of any very hot broth may be used
in place of bouillon.
Also, you’ll find you have a wide choice of delicious, filling Knox
soups, salads and desserts that have so few calories ... _you may have a
serving of any one of them a day and not worry about upsetting your
daily calorie pattern_. Look for these delicious treats in the recipe
section in back of book.
Q. AFTER YOUR WEIGHT GOAL IS REACHED, HOW WILL YOU KEEP YOUR SLENDER,
NEW FIGURE?
A. _The sensible eating habits you form while following the Knox
Choice-of-Foods diet and the Knox “Booster” Drink will help you do
this!_ You will find you’ve lost much of your desire for over-eating.
You’ve seen the dramatic change in your looks and your feelings. You’re
more attractive, feel younger, healthier, happier. Now you want to stay
that way!
With the loss of excess weight, you are now entitled to more calories.
However, always remember, _too many more calories_ will put extra
pounds right back on.
Actually, _you can have about ½ as many more calories as your original
diet plan called for_. For instance, if you were on the 1200 calorie
Knox diet, about 1800 calories is right for you to maintain your new
weight.
As you have already learned on page 8, Protein is the vital key to
feeling and looking your best at all times ... particularly when you are
reducing or _watching your weight_ as you are now doing. The Knox
High-Protein “Booster” Drink[4] made with milk will not only add about
15 grams of useful, body-building Protein to your daily diet, but will
also serve as a healthful curb to your appetite.
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
Take the Knox “Booster” Drink (with milk) ½ hour before lunch and
dinner. In an 8 or 10 oz. dry glass, thoroughly mix 1 envelope Knox
Gelatine with 3-6 tablespoons _instant_ non-fat dry milk. (Varies with
brand.) Fill with cold water. Stir briskly until milk thoroughly
dissolves. Drink quickly.
Q. HOW DO YOU GET STARTED ON THE KNOX CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET?
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
A. FIRST, _find your desirable weight on the following chart_; SECOND,
_determine the proper number of calories you need to lose weight_.
HERE’S HOW: Let’s say you are a woman 5′3″ tall and have a medium frame;
according to the table you should weigh 128 lbs. Now multiplying this by
10 you will have the recommended daily calories you should have to lose
weight properly.
128 × 10 = 1280 calories

Tea or Coffee Free Choice
ALSO NOTE THESE SPECIAL MENU HELPS
1. When a recipe serving is listed as “Free Choice” it means that you
may eat 1 serving without having to count it in your daily diet pattern.
2. Use the milk in your meal plan to drink, in coffee, on cereal, or
with other foods.
3. Serve vegetables plain or with part of the meat or fat choice for
seasoning. You may wish to use together the vegetables, milk, and meat
choices in your meal plan. This way you can make soups, stews, or other
dishes in which you combine several foods.
4. Measure all foods on the Bread List after they have been cooked.
5. Eat the meat or fish prepared for the family as long as no fat or
flour has been added. Meat juices, with the fat removed, may be used
with your meat or vegetables for added flavor.
It is important that you measure meat after it is cooked. Bones and
extra fat should not be counted in the total weight. Cut off extra fat
instead of eating it.
6. When you are on a reducing regime, no matter whether on a 1200, 1600,
or 1800 calorie diet, use only the amount of fat permitted in that diet.
You may use it in any way you prefer—as a spread, for seasoning foods,
in dressing vegetables—but count the fat used in these ways as part of
your total allowance for the day.
It is easier to diet when food looks so appealing that you don’t miss
high-calorie foods or high-calorie extras.
SPECIAL RECIPE HELPS
_It may help you to have a list of some foods that are low in calories._
LOW-CALORIE SWEETENERS
Because each teaspoon of sugar gives 20 calories, you can cut them down
if you use a sweetener that will not supply any calories.
Low-calorie sweeteners mean sweet taste without calories and without
sugar. The recipes in this booklet use saccharin (¼ grain tablets),
Sucaryl (tablets or solution), and Sweeta (solution).
1 tablet saccharin Equaled in sweetness by 1 teaspoon
of sugar
or
1 tablet Sucaryl
or
⅛ tsp. Sucaryl solution
or
2 drops Sweeta
It is unwise to take more than a reasonable amount (equal to about 12
tablets) as the total in the day’s meals.
Liquid non-caloric sweeteners may be added directly to the dissolved
gelatine mixture.
Non-caloric sweetening tablets may be crushed and stirred into the
dissolved gelatine mixture, or they may be dissolved in small amount of
the liquid called for in a recipe, then added.
LOW-CALORIE FOODS
A number of low-calorie canned or bottle fruits, fruit juices, and
beverages are now available in many markets. These foods add much
interest in low-calorie diets.
Low-calorie foods used in recipes in this booklet include:
Canned Fruits, unsweetened
Canned Fruits, non-caloric sweetened
Canned Fruit Juices, unsweetened
Canned Fruit Juices, non-caloric sweetened
Carbonated Beverages, non-caloric sweetened
Skim milk is a low-caloric form of milk which helps with successful
weight loss by keeping calories low while food value remains high. Fluid
skim milk or non-fat dry milk solids can be used.
Non-fat dry milk solids plus water make skim milk. Follow directions on
the package for correct proportions. To reliquefy—measure dry milk into
glass; add 1 cup water and stir. Chill.
STEPS TO SUCCESS WITH KNOX GELATINE RECIPES
To insure satisfactory jelling, the number of grains of Knox Unflavored
Gelatine in each envelope is measured scientifically. Tablespoons vary
in size. An “envelope” of gelatine is always an accurate measure.
To soften gelatine in all cold liquids except milk, sprinkle gelatine
into ½ cup of the cold liquid. Let stand to soften.
To soften gelatine in ½ cup of cold milk, stir the gelatine into the
milk.
To dissolve softened gelatine, stir into hot liquid required in the
recipe, or place over hot water and stir until dissolved.
One envelope of gelatine will gel up to 2 cups of liquid.
When solids are added to 2 cups of a gelatine-liquid mixture, up to 2
cups may be added.
MORE GEL-COOKERY HELPS
Fresh pineapple and frozen must be cooked before adding it to a gelatine
mixture to insure jelling; canned pineapple can be used as it comes from
the can.
When adding solid ingredients, the gelatine mixture is first chilled to
the consistency of cold unbeaten egg white from fresh eggs. This
prevents the solids from rising to the top or sinking to the bottom of
the mold.
To chill the gelatine mixture quickly to the consistency of unbeaten egg
white, half fill the lower part of a double boiler with ice and water.
Set upper part of double boiler containing the gelatine-liquid mixture
over the ice. Stir frequently until it is a smooth, evenly chilled,
unbeaten egg white consistency. As an alternative, two bowls may be used
instead of the double boiler.
When low-calorie sweeteners are used in the recipe, beat the egg whites
stiff but not dry, then fold them in as directed.
If sugar is used in the recipe when beaten egg whites are added to the
gelatine, beat a part of it into the egg whites as in meringues.
HOW TO MOLD AND UNMOLD KNOX GELATINE DISHES
Jellied foods—soups, main dishes, salads, or desserts—can be molded in
square, round, or loaf pans, muffin tins, washed tins from canned foods,
bowls, cups, glasses, or paper drinking cups. For easy serving, a
gelatine mixture may be chilled in serving dishes that will go directly
to the table, or it may be spooned from bowls into serving dishes.
To unmold, dip the mold in warm or hot water to the depth of the
gelatine—metal molds in warm water, glass molds in hot water. Loosen
edge with the tip of a paring knife. Place the serving dish on top of
the mold, the two tightly together, and turn upside down. Shake, holding
the serving dish tightly to the mold. Carefully lift off the mold.
Gelatine may be unmolded at serving time, or even as long as an hour or
so before mealtime if the service plate or platter is put back in the
refrigerator.

Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright
law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,
so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United
States without permission and without paying copyright
royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part
of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm

and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive
specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this
eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook
for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,
performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given
away--you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks
not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the
trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
cannot be read by your equipment.
1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.
1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
without further opportunities to fix the problem.
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the

limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
remaining provisions.

additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the

number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
