"I feel empty since being on the diet".

February 8, 1918

"I did not overeat after the experiment, although it was a great temptation to keep filling up all the time. During the last seven days I have taken just two meals a day. I found it necessary to out down. I think I have gained about 3 kg. in weight. I took two doses of salts one week ago to help reduce".

"Do not feel so well, but my mind is more peaceful, as I can eat whatever I want and when I want it. If during the experiment it had been impossible to get extra food or to get candy I would have been more comfortable. I could have got on better, I believe, if there had been a real need for reducing because of universal scarcity of food".

"The rheumatism which has troubled me a great deal does not bother me now. It seems to be helped very much by the reduced diet".

February 8, 1918

"Since eating uncontrolled my teeth have begun to ache and the old rheumatism is back with a 'bang.' While on diet I could chew without difficulty. I am very much in favor of the diet for my health. After three days of eating the old troubles began to come back. It was not a case of overeating; I was careful, but I wanted meat and ate it".

" Difficult to concentrate in study. I could not keep the idea of eating out of my mind. One of the easiest ways to forget eating was to typewrite notes. I missed candy greatly. If I were with people who were all getting low diet and had moderate physical work, as in camp life, it would be much easier".
