Rolph Novak's National Scene
- The Dr. Faikins Diet
By RALPH NOVAK
NEW YORK (CEF)
The latest entry in the current weight-reducing craze is
the Dr. Fatklns’ Banana Split and Cheesecake Diet.
In his new book, ‘‘Gorging Your Way to Skirinyhood,”
Fatkins promises that his diet will allow any overweight
person to lose 97 pounds the first week, 52 pounds the
second week and 23 pounds every week thereafter, pro-
viding the roles are strictly followed.
The Fatkins diet calls for one banana split and a half
pound of cheesecake for breakfast, the same for lunch,
and two banana splits and a pound of cheesecake for
dinner.
“Absolutely no eating between meals, of course,” Fat-
kins said In a recent interview. “Use only real whipped
cream, gooey syrup and plenty of nuts on the banana
splits. And all junk foods—milk, liver, vegetables and
that kind of stuff—should be 100 per cent taboo.
1 “I do recommend, however, that once every three
weeks a dieter have a one-day splurge when he can eat
lettuce and carrot sticks and cottage cheese so he’ll get
all those bad impulses out of his system.”
I The original version of Fatkins’ diet included chocolate
bars but ho found that while the chocolate helped In
weight loss, It also made most people’s skin break out,
which meant that instead of being fat and happy but un-
popular, most of his patients became skinny and sad but
unpopular.
! “My diet treats«the whole person, not just his fat,”
Fatkins commented. “My experiments have shown that
if the whole world followed my diet, there would be no
more wars or bickering or even nasty letters to the editor,
just a kind of benign stupor.”
1 Fatkins’ book—which was commissioned by the Na-
tional Banana Foundation and the American Cheese Coun-
cil—has sold 117 million copies in the three weeks it has
been available and be is already planning a sequel
I “For those who find that banana splits and cheesecake
lust seem to make them fatter—and who knows how many
that might be,” he said, guffawing, “I’m going to come up
with a milk shake, pork fat and doughnut diet.”
Most medical authorities have described the Fatkins
diet in such terms as “national catastrophe,” “Commu-
nist plot,” and “the worst thing since the black plague”
but Fatkins scoffs W their criticism.
“It is true, ef course, that 37 per cent of the people who ’
follow my diet for more than 10 days find that their ears
begin to fall off,” he said. “But if that’s the worst thing
that ever hap
wav. every;
iappen$ to them, they’ll be all right. And any-
few ounces helps.”
