Reading edition
AS A COLD DRINK (WITH FRUIT JUICES)
Empty 1 envelope Knox Gelatine in ¾ glass of orange juice, other fruit juices or water, not iced. Let liquid absorb the gelatine. Then stir briskly. Drink quickly. If it thickens, add more liquid, stir again.
AS A HOT DRINK (WITH BOUILLON)
Sprinkle 1 envelope Knox Gelatine on ¼ cup cold water to soften. Add 1 bouillon cube and ¾ cup boiling water. Stir until gelatine and bouillon cube are thoroughly dissolved. ¾ cup of any very hot broth may be used in place of bouillon.
Also, you’ll find you have a wide choice of delicious, filling Knox soups, salads and desserts that have so few calories ... you may have a serving of any one of them a day and not worry about upsetting your daily calorie pattern. Look for these delicious treats in the recipe section in back of book.

Q. AFTER YOUR WEIGHT GOAL IS REACHED, HOW WILL YOU KEEP YOUR SLENDER, NEW FIGURE?
A. The sensible eating habits you form while following the Knox Choice-of-Foods diet and the Knox “Booster” Drink will help you do this! You will find you’ve lost much of your desire for over-eating. You’ve seen the dramatic change in your looks and your feelings. You’re more attractive, feel younger, healthier, happier. Now you want to stay that way!
With the loss of excess weight, you are now entitled to more calories. However, always remember, too many more calories will put extra pounds right back on.
Actually, you can have about ½ as many more calories as your original diet plan called for. For instance, if you were on the 1200 calorie Knox diet, about 1800 calories is right for you to maintain your new weight.
As you have already learned on page 8, Protein is the vital key to feeling and looking your best at all times ... particularly when you are reducing or watching your weight as you are now doing. The Knox High-Protein “Booster” Drink[4] made with milk will not only add about 15 grams of useful, body-building Protein to your daily diet, but will also serve as a healthful curb to your appetite.
Take the Knox “Booster” Drink (with milk) ½ hour before lunch and dinner. In an 8 or 10 oz. dry glass, thoroughly mix 1 envelope Knox Gelatine with 3-6 tablespoons instant non-fat dry milk. (Varies with brand.) Fill with cold water. Stir briskly until milk thoroughly dissolves. Drink quickly.

Q. HOW DO YOU GET STARTED ON THE KNOX CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET?
A. FIRST, find your desirable weight on the following chart; SECOND, determine the proper number of calories you need to lose weight. HERE’S HOW: Let’s say you are a woman 5′3″ tall and have a medium frame; according to the table you should weigh 128 lbs. Now multiplying this by 10 you will have the recommended daily calories you should have to lose weight properly.
128 × 10 = 1280 calories
