Rule to Find Ideal Adult Net Weight
Multiply number of inches over 5 ft. in height by 5-1/2; add 110. For example: Height 5 ft. 7 in. without shoes.
7 x 5-1/2 = 38-1/2 + 110 ------- Ideal weight 148-1/2
If under 5 ft. multiply number of inches under 5 ft. by 5-1/2 and subtract from 110.
Are You Thin and Do You Want to Gain?
[Sidenote: Don't Read This]
Skip this chapter. It will not interest you in the least. I will come to you later. I am not particularly interested in you anyway, for I cannot get your point of view. How any one can want to be anything but thin is beyond my intelligence. However, knowing that there are such deluded individuals, I have been constrained to give you advice. You won't find it spontaneous nor from the heart, but if you follow my directions I will guarantee that you will gain; providing, of course, you have no organic trouble; and the chances are that by giving proper attention to your diet you will gain anyway, and maybe in passing lose your trouble. Who knows?
