ietefs Dilemma Try Exercise for Your Beautiful Body Striving for a beautiful body has been the preoccupation of many people lately. High school students attacked the problem by jogging, lifting weights, working out at Nautilus, exercising with Richard Sim- mons, attending aerobic dance classes, and almost everyone was on a diet of some kind. There was a diet for everyone and they were all different, but there was always one main objective: losing weight. There were such diet plans as eating only soups, never eating after 6:00 p.m., or avoiding desserts. People often joined together in their fight against obesity. Weight-Watchers has helped many people lose weight. In this program, the dieter could eat almost any- thing, but the food had to be weighed. Kristy Zinanni has tried several diets. One of these was called the Health Food Diet. lt consisted of the use of such diet aids as fructose fthe sugar of fruit, it cre- ates no insulin responsel, safflower oil lwhich washes excess water from the bodyj, granular powder lecithin lit redis' tributes body weight, calms nerves, and takes excess material off arteriesj and pow- dered brewer's yeast lwhich gives com- plete B protein and fights hungerj. HAfter a couple of days, there was no hunger, says Kristy, Other people tried such diets as the Be- verly Hills Diet and the Dolly Parton Diet. Because for the first eleven days the dieter is allowed to eat only fruit, the Beverly Hills Diet was a dangerous one. ln the Dolly Parton Diet, certain foods were als lowed on certain days, mostly fruits, vege- tables, and lean beef. Whatever the method, high school stu- dents found it was worth the effort as the pounds melted away. WM

Calisthenics before a volleyball practice enable senior Julie Ryan to burn off unwanted calories. Spending her lunch hour studying in the li- brary, junior Theresa Einhaus, avoids the cafete- ria's tempting array. Far right. There are always exceptions to a rule and those who frequent the bakery, like freshman Tim Mezel, seem even to avoid gain, ing weight for their indulgence. Right.
