...long time lived high off the fat of his former land after his ouster in 1958. Alas, for two months now, the suety onetime strongman has been sweating it out in a Florida jail, while his lawyers try to arrange bail on extradition charges. On a low-fat prison diet, Jimenez has lost 16 lbs. and is down to 166 lbs. "If you ever find yourself gaining weight after you get out," said a sympathetic jailer, "feel free to come back here for your meals...

Spend more time on fish, chicken, calves' liver, Canadian bacon, Italian food, Chinese food, supplemented by fresh fruits, vegetables and casseroles." Adds Keys: "Nobody wants to live on mush.

By feeding hogs soybean or peanut meal, but not fattening them beyond about 180 lbs., say Keys...
...milk," "cream" or "ice cream," thus permitting a normally varied menu. But this was a matter of taste and convenience, not medical necessity. The ordinary commercial oils, say Drs. Page and Brown, "are excellent for cooking and baking"; also, "two or three teaspoons added to each serving of a low-fat food convert it to a satisfying, flavorful product." Large appetites "can be satisfied with large servings of veal, fish and poultry." In any case, a single serving of up to 5½ oz. of lean meat is allowed at one meal, preferably dinner...
