DIET FORHYPERINSULINISM
Originally devised by Drs. Conn,8 it prohibits many of the identical things because the Harris diet, differing mainly in being a high protein diet. We object to the Conn diet for 2 reasons: First, the common palate rebels against the monotony of an excessive protein diet, and second, thus will the common pocketbook— proteins are the foremost expensive of foods and significantly high at this time.

The first feeding on arising starts the body’s machinery, and breakfast builds it up to speed. The midmorning juice helps maintain that speed till lunch, while the afternoon milk prevents the late afternoon slowdown, thus common in hyperinsulinism. The juice before dinner acts as a governor— takes the sting off the now-ravenous appetite and prevents overeating. Since the diet needs that the patient eat more frequently, this juice feeding is important, as surrender to the untempered appetite may lead to an excessive weight in¬crease. The extra feedings between dinner and bedtime look after the bodily activities till the machinery again is at rest.
