Dear Rulh: I am writing to you about my husband He is in his 80s and is constantly fighting over weight lie eats very little but still can't seem to lose weight. He tries every new diet fad but loses interest qjiickly when they don't work like the ads promised ' This is quite expensive for us. Also, he doesn't exer cise at all Can you help? - One Who Cares. Dear OWC: It is certainly wonderful that your hus band has reached his 80s: he must.be doing something right Offer him my congratulations. on his longevity! In order to answer your questions. I would like 16 know a fewmore details. IIAS Y<rt V husband always been overweight? Also, is his weight increasing now even though he is eating so very little? And finally. -is there a«ny f physical reason why he is unable to start walking? Those answers would help me to be more specific. Concerning the fad diets they nearly always fail in the long run Promoters of so-called "miracle'' pro ducts have been around since Day One. Their promises of a secret formula tor instant weight loss <or other •cures' i appeal to our fears and vanity. We end up with less money but not less weight The next! time, your hus band decides io try a •'miracle" product for los- \ Vng" weight, appeal to his ) lpgic.
