Reducing Diets by H N Bundesen
Dr Horace Gray of Stanford University Medical School says overweight is driven by overeating and requires a sudden stop or specialist help. Diet alone produced about 15 pounds loss in three months, thyroid extract added another 12 after three months. A month without bread and fattening foods was advised, with written food logs to reveal resistance. Drugs like belladonna or amphetamine showed limited value. sugar-bearing tablets helped low blood sugar. mental factors drive nibbling. Final note: treatment hinges on patient willpower and mind over body.
