Show Slim for Life closs Sept. 24 BOUNTIFUL-Need to lose weight? Preparing yourself for a regimen of grapefruit, cottage cheese and celery sticks? If these diet foods don't excite you, you are a candidate for the Sum for Life program, with classes beginning the week of Sept. 24. This popular American Heart Association weight reduction program pro-gram suggests giving up the entire notion of a diet. Susan Ward, R.D., nutrition director, said, "A diet is something you go on and go off. It does not fit our philosophy of permanent per-manent weight control." ' Forbidden foods present a similar simi-lar problem. Sooner or later you will eat them and feel guilty," continued con-tinued the dietitian. "Feeling guilty will only break down your restraint even more," she noted. How do you design an eating plan so good you and your family can follow it from now on? 4It must have four things stated Ward. "Sound nutrition to keep you feeling energetic, variety to prevent boredom and flexibility for families, friends and special occasions occa-sions are all important. In addition, it must produce consistent weight loss until you reach your ideal weight" Slim for Life also includes a behavior modification approach to help you deal with food at home, in a restaurant, at a party, and on vacation vaca-tion in a normal, non-obsessed way. It includes techniques to help you resist temptation or not even to be tempted at all. Slim for Life classes meet one hour per week for ten weeks.
