Excessive adipose tissue resulting from incompatible combinations of foods and eating excessive quantities of starches and sugars.
Sometimes due to a glandular disturbance. Study
the chapter on GLANDS. We have the following
interesting report from "Pavy on Food" about a Mr.
Banting: After one year of eliminating from his diet
all starchy and fatty foods, and all alcoholic
beverages including beer, Mr. Banting lost 40
pounds in weight and 12 inches from his midriff.
After 7 years he wrote: "I can conscientiously assert
that I never lived so well as I now do as a result of
following this new dietary plan, one I would have
formerly thought to be dangerous and an extravagant
trespass upon my health. I am considerably better,
both physically and mentally, and pleased to believe
that I hold the reins of health and comfort in my
own hands."
