In war time it is a crime to hoard food, and fines and impris-onment have followed the exposé of such practices. Yet there are hundreds of thousands of individuals all over America who are hoarding food, and that one of the most precious of all foods! They have vast amounts of this valuable commodity stored away in their own anatomy.??Now fat individuals have always been considered a joke, but you are a joke no longer. Instead of being looked upon with friendly tolerance and amusement, you are now viewed with dis-trust, suspicion, and even aversion! How dare you hoard fat when our nation needs it? You don't dare to any longer. You never wanted to be fat anyway, but you did not know how to re-duce, and it is proverbial how little you eat. Why, there is Mrs. Natty B. Slymm, who is beautifully thin, and she eats twice as much as you do, and does not gain an ounce. You know posi-tively that eating has nothing to do with it, for one time you diet-ed, didn't eat a thing but what the doctor ordered, besides your regular meals, and you actually gained.??You are in despair about being anything but fat, and—! how you hate it. But cheer up. I will save you; yea, even as I have saved myself and many, many others, so will I save you.? Spirituality vs. Materiality?A Long, Long Battle

The interest in scientific cookery, particularly in cookery as related to health, has manifestly increased in this country within the last decade as is evidenced by the success which has attended every intelligent effort for the establishment of schools for instruction in cookery in various parts of the United States. While those in charge of these schools have presented to their pupils excellent opportunities for the acquirement of dexterity in the preparation of toothsome and tempting viands, but little attention has been paid to the science of dietetics, or what might be termed the hygiene of cookery.? A little less than ten years ago the Sanitarium at Battle Creek Mich., established an experimental kitchen and a school of cookery under the supervision of Mrs. Dr. Kellogg, since which time, researches in the various lines of cookery and dietetics have been in constant progress in the experimental kitchen, and regular sessions of the school of cookery have been held. The school has gradually gained in popularity, and the demand for instruction has become so great that classes are in session during almost the entire year.? During this time, Mrs. Kellogg has had constant oversight of the cuisine of both the Sanitarium and the Sanitarium Hospital, preparing bills of fare for the general and diet tables, and supplying constantly new methods and original recipes to meet the changing and growing demands of an institution numbering always from 500 to 700 inmates.? These large opportunities for observation, research, and experience, have gradually developed a system of cookery, the leading features of which are so entirely novel and so much in advance of the methods heretofore in use, that it may be justly styled, A New System of Cookery. It is a singular and lamentable fact, the evil consequences of which are wide-spread, that the preparation of food, although involving both chemical and physical processes, has been less advanced by the results of modern researches and discoveries in chemistry and physics, than any other department of human industry. Iron mining, glass-making, even the homely art of brick-making, and many of the operations of the farm and the dairy, have been advantageously modified by the results of the fruitful labors of modern scientific investigators. But the art of cookery is at least a century behind in the march of scientific progress. The mistress of the kitchen is still groping her way amid the uncertainties of medi?val methods, and daily bemoaning the sad results of the "rule of thumb." The chemistry of cookery is as little known to the average housewife as were the results of modern chemistry to the old alchemists; and the attempt to make wholesome, palatable, and nourishing food by the methods commonly employed, is rarely more successful than that of those misguided alchemists in transmuting lead and copper into silver and gold.? The new cookery brings order from out the confusion of mixtures and messes, often incongruence and incompatible, which surrounds the average cook, by the elucidation of the principles which govern the operations of the kitchen, with the same certainty with which the law of gravity rules the planets.? Those who have made themselves familiar with Mrs. Kellogg's system of cookery, invariably express themselves as trebly astonished: first, at the simplicity of the methods employed; secondly, at the marvelous results both as regards palatableness, wholesomeness, and attractiveness; thirdly, that it had never occurred to them "to do this way before."?This system does not consist simply of a rehash of what is found in every cook book, but of new methods, which are the result of the application of the scientific principles of chemistry and physics to the preparation of food in such a manner as to make it the most nourishing, the most digestible, and the most inviting to the eye and to the palate.?Those who have tested the results of Mrs. Kellogg's system of cookery at the Sanitarium tables.

Cartea de fa?? este scris? de un proasp?t diagnosticat cu diabet ?i so?ia lui. Niciunul dintre noi nu are studii de specialitate ?n nutri?ionism sau medicin?. Principiul de selec?ie a re?etelor a fost folosirea de ingrediente s?race ?n carbohidra?i, colesterol, sodiu ?i eliminarea, pe c?t posibil, a pr?jirii ?n ulei.Multe dintre re?etele selectate ini?ial au suferit modific?ri fie prin ?nlocuirea alimentelor bogate ?n carbohidra?i, prezente ?n cantit??i mari, cu alte alimente s?race ?n carbohidra?i, fie prin mic?orarea consistent? a gramajelor lor ?i completarea cu alte alimente ?prietenoase“ cu diabeticii.Aceste re?ete sunt doar un punct de plecare pentru dumneavoastr?. Pute?i crea propriile re?ete consult?nd tabelele nutri?ionale ale speciali?tilor ?n domeniu ?i folosind alimente preferate cu aport sc?zut de carbohidra?i.Restric?iile legate de alimentele ce trebuie consumate cu precau?ie probabil c? v? vor ?ngreuna demersul, ?ns? ve?i reu?i ?n timp s? v? crea?i re?ete delicioase personalizate.Nu uita?i ca de fiecare dat? c?nd crea?i o re?et? nou? s? c?nt?ri?i alimentele ?i s? calcula?i aportul nutri?ional per por?ie.?i nu ?n ultimul r?nd, fixa?i un meniu zilnic care s? nu dep??easc? acea cantitate maxim? de carbohidra?i, colesterol ?i sodiu recomandat? de medicul dumneavoastr?.A scrie o carte de re?ete pentru diabetici a venit nu ca un moft, ci ca o necesitate: nu g?seam pe pia?? nicio lucrare pe aceast? tem?. Ap?ruser? vreo dou? sau trei, dar se epuizaser?.Mai ?nt?i am c?utat s? aflu c??i carbohidra?i are fiecare aliment. Ave?i la finalul c?r?ii tabelul cu rezultatele acestui demers. Apoi, Luiza a ?nceput s?-mi g?teasc? m?nc?ruri ?n baza unor calcule, a?a ?nc?t s? nu dep??esc cele 180 de grame de carbohidra?i la care aveam dreptul zilnic. Aceast? carte este povestea culinar? a c?torva s?pt?m?ni din via?a mea. Fiecare dintre re?etele de aici este f?cut? ?n cas?, gustat? de mine ?i recomandat? necondi?ionat. V? invit la o degustare ca ?ntre noi, diabeticii. Poft? mare ?i… Jos glicemia!
