496.0. "Lose Weight Naturally" by OCTAVE::ROCH () Mon Aug 14 1989 08:59

    I subscribe to this newsletter called LOSE WEIGHT NATURALLY, which I've
    always enjoyed -- does anyone else receive it?
    
    They had a Test your Calorie Quotient Q&A segment and get this.....
    
    Q.  Which has less calories, a fish dinner conisting of 12 oz.
    broiled haddock, two baked potatoes with two tablespoons of sour cream,
    1/2 cup broccoli, salad with dressing, one dinner roll with a pat of
    butter, a scoop of ice cream and two cups of coffee with cream and
    sugar, OR a dinner consisting of a 12-ounce steak and black coffee?
    
    A.  The fish dinner has it at 1,060 calories - less than the steak
    dinner at 1,200 calories.  Both big meals, but it just goes to show how
    low-fat foods give you more volume and can even "earn" you dessert
    besides.
    
    I didn't figure every calorie out, but I was surprised at this! 
    Amazing, eh?

    Hi Vicki,
    
    I've never heard of the newsletter "Lose Weight Naturally".  Could
    you tell us a little about it?  (price, address, average # of pages,
    etc.)
    
    I'm looking for some new health magazines/material to subscribe
    to.
    
    Thanks,

496.2Low calories, but high in fat?LDYBUG::GOLDMANRunning down a dreamTue Aug 15 1989 08:1013
    RE: .0

    	Did they by any chance give you the fat percentage?  I
    certainly wouldn't call that fish dinner "low-fat foods".  With
    sour cream, salad dressing, a pat of butter, ice cream and cream 
    for coffee, it would seem to me like that dinner would have more 
    fat than the steak.  (Of course, it also depends on the cut of
    steak.)  Just because something is lower in calories doesn't 
    necessarily mean that it's better for you.  Now if you cut out
    those fats I mentioned above, there's a good "volume" dinner!

    Lose Weight Naturally is published monthly by Rodale Press, 33 E. Minor
    St., Emmaus, PA 18098 (215-967-5171).  Subscription rates in US -
    $21.00 yearly.
    
    This is an 8-10 page newsletter that gives you up-to-date facts on
    health/diet/fitness - future products, success stories, receipes and
    advice.  It's something quick to read and has great tid-bits.  They
    just started to ad a "personals page" that I really don't care for but
    others might.
    
    I did sign up for the Weight Watchers Woman's newsletter and didn't
    like it at all -- it's more medical than diet/fitness related.  Of
    course, now that I tried them, every health newsletter in the country
    is trying to see a subscription to me, i.e. Tufts, Mahey Clinic...for
    now this one is fine!
    
    Hopes this helps...

496.4I read L.W.N.!AKOV11::GALVINALPHA.......works for meMon Aug 21 1989 13:4810
    Vicki,
    
    I know just what you mean, I also subscribe to the L.W.N. and everyone
    and his brother wants me to get their newsletter.  I also didn't like
    the W.W. newsletter.  The only thing that differs between us is that I
    wrote to a few people in the personals and have now made some real nice
    friends who understand my problems.  It's sort of like this notes file.
