This Diet and Exercise Guide has been compiled especially for women. Its simple and graceful exercises will effectively bring flattering proportions to the lemale figure, and its pre-tested calorie-counted diets fit easily into the family's regular eating plan.

Written by Mary Milo, Beauty Editor of Family Circle Magazine and the Family Circle Food Staff, the Guide charts an accurate balance between exercise and diet on which good health depends.

Posture, an improved walk, and new habits of moving correctly often determine proper weight. It is also true that while some exercises make the figure firm, others help slim it. The Guide takes these three factors into account, believing all are crucial to beauty and attractive appearance. One half of the book develops a total concept of activity which women young, old or in-between can naturally adhere to.

An introductory chapter on the psychology of maintaining a sensible diet readies women for a reducing regimen.

The Guide includes medically determined tables to help the reader determine her proper weight and then proceeds to a variety of calorie restricted diets and menus.

Hints on diet tricks and treats make calorie counting an adventure.

Several other tables, computed especially for Family Circle, are "The Energy Cost of Activities,'

"The Ma-

jor Vitamin Chart," "Recommended Daily Dietary Allowances," as well as Family Circle's "Lifetime Guide to the Nutritive Value of Food."
