to lose 10 pounds you must eat 35000 caVviH less than you are now eating This can be done qu'n easily in one month You can reduce by either reducing the amount of food or by increasing your exercise Although exercise particularly walking very healthful It takes a tremendous amount of physical exertion to cause a loss in weight If you walk one mile a day six days a week at the end of a year this exercise will help you lose only seven pounds Looking st this another way if you walk tor one hour you use up about 200 calories of energy A small candy bar or piece of pie has about the same number of calories It certainly easier to give up the sweet dessert than it to walk for one hour In order to lose 200 calories This does not mean that exercise not a good way to lose weight It just means that tt takes longer However it does firm muscles and reduces the amount of fat so that a person's body healthier and more attractive One should learn to eat foods which have little or no calorie value such as carrot sticks celery sticks cucumbers lettuce green peppers and tomatoes These are excellent to nibble on to stop hunger pangs between meals or at bedtimes rather than indulging in calorie-rich snacks An estimated 1700 of damage was caused yesterday afternoon when a fire destroyed a shed filled with building materials According to the California Division of Forestry the fire
