The national consciousness is one of thinness; thin is sexy, successful, and glamorous. Thinness is big business: books, magazines, clinics, videos, and talk shows all convey the message for you to get into shape. A recent Gallup survey for the July/August '88 issue of American Health reveals important altitudes about how we see ourselves as well as how others sec us; if you like yourself and accept yourself others are going to like you and accept you as well. That is great except for one problem: if you are overweight or underweight you might tend to be unhappy about that and try dieting to either lose or gain weight depending on what you want the ideal you to look like. A healthy, happy person who radiates strength and energy from within is dynamic, attractive, and effective. They eat balanced meals and they exercise. They are like a well tuned car lhat is given the right fuel and maintenance: sooner or later they will break down! In all seriousness it might seem that a balanced diet may help to keep you healthy and happy. A balanced diet is one that contains food items from each of the four basic food groups. They are: milk and dairy products, the meat, poultry, and fish group, fruits and vegetables, and breads and cereals. Foods are further classified as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. A balanced diet is one that is fifty percent carbohy drate, twenty percent protein, and thirty percent fat. Carbohydrates are divided into two groups- simple and complex. Your simple carbohydrates are sugars; your complex carbohydrates are starches. Complex carbohydrates are the best source of energy, this stuff will make you want to run like a racehorse. Proteins arc divided into two groups also; these are complete proteins and incomplete proteins. The complete proteins are found in meat, fish, poultry, milk, and eggs. The incomplete proteins arc found in vegetables, breads, cereals, and legumes. Legumes arc peas, beans, and lentils. Two incomplete proteins may be combined to form a complete protein; a good example is beans and rice, casseroles are usually good at this: a little cheese or eggs in a dish with breadcrumbs on top will pair up the incomplete proteins. The incomplete proteins are good sources of complex carbohydrates as well; remember they are your best energy source. Fats are divided into three groups: saturated, mono- unsaturated, and polyunsaturated. Any animal fat is saturated. This includes beef, fish, chicken, pork, lamb, and even the fat in an egg yolk. One-third of your fat intake may be saturated. A mon- unsaturated fat is olive oil. A poly-unsaturated fat is com oil. The less saturated a fat is the more liquid it will be at room temperature. A small amount of fat is necessary in the diet; certain vitamins are fat soluble, and the body makes its sex hormones from fat. This is thought to be the reason anorexic women cease menstrua tion. Their bodies are depicted to that point. The body stores fat as a protection against times of famine and bums this fat when you fast. This will make you feel bad because fat burned in the absence of complex carbohydrates gives off a chemical called ketone. This chemical is used in paint remover and fingernail polish remover. Remember that the next time you skip breakfast! Here is how you might plan a menu: two glasses of skim milk or its equivalent in a dairy product, three servings of meat, fish, chicken, eggs, or complemented vegetable protein totaling fifteen grams of protein each, two servings of .a green leafy vegetable, two servings of a fruit, one deep yellow or orange vegetable, four servings of bread or cereal, and eight glasses of water each day. This would total about eleven hundred fifty five calories. If you arc a woman and stand five feet five inches, weight one hundred twenty eight pounds, and are moderately active you can probably consume eighteen hundred calories per day and not gain weight. If you follow the above diet you may lose about 1.3 pounds each week, or maybe 5 pounds in three weeks. This is the safe and smart way to lose weight. If you want to learn about diets and menu planning you might take a nutrition course, N.D. 300 is highly recommended, or read Jane Brodv's Nutrition Book. Either losing or gaining weight is a serious matter, if you have a question about this you can talk to Dr. Noclle Kehrburg in the Home Ec. Department, Belk Building. Exam Care Packages Arrive by Frank Lamm STAFF WRITER Once again this year residents, their families, and the local area coordinators have gotten together to distribute to the participating students "Exam Care Packages." These packages are one of the many exciting events going on before and during exam week for the students to bring some relief to the monotony of Finals Week. Due much to the success of last year's "Exam Care Packages" where over 1400 students and their families participated, students contacted their parents and asked for money for "goodies" which were bought by the area coordinators and were distributed at exam time. Those students who participate this year will be able to pick up their packages at their respective residence hall office on December 7 from 8 p.m. to 12 p.m. Also going on around campus, the Dodson Cafeteria will be having a midnight breakfast from 8:30 p.m. till 11:00 p.m. on Thursday December 8. During the exam week the cafeterias will be closing twenty minutes earlier than usual for lunch and dinner. The opening hours will remain the same. In the University Center's Grand Room there will be Christmas Madrigal Dinners being held from December 1 thru 6. The cost is $8.50 for students and $17.00 for non-students, and will take place from 6:30-9:00 p.m. each night. On December 6 in the P.G. Cats a pub will be held starting at 8 p.m. for the students.
