Excerpt from Food and Life: Common-Sense Diet for the Fat and the Lean, the Sick and the Well, the Old and the Young
Right dieting does not mean starvation or even discomfort. One definition of to diet, it is true, is to eat sparingly, and in the minds of most people diet conveys the idea of more or less self-denial. Modem dietitians have, however, restored to the word its original and primary meaning, which is to feed.
The best medical authorities now agree that both those who are too fat and those who are too lean eat too little - that is, too little of what is good for them. Overweight is not necessarily caused by overfeeding, nor underweight by underfeeding. In both conditions the cause is most often found in not eating enough of die proper food for individual conditions. Right selection of foods rather than quantity determines the restoration of persons overweight or underweight to their proper proportions and symmetry.
