Originally devised by Drs. Conn,8 it prohibits several of the same things as the Harris diet, differing mainly in being a high protein diet. We tend to object to the Conn diet for two reasons: First, the typical palate rebels against the monotony of an excessive protein diet, and second, thus will the typical pocketbook— proteins are the foremost expensive of foods and notably high at this time.

The primary feeding on arising starts the body’s machinery, and breakfast builds it up to speed. The midmorning juice helps maintain that speed till lunch, whereas the afternoon milk prevents the late afternoon slowdown, thus common in hyperinsulinism. The juice before dinner acts as a governor— takes the edge off the now-ravenous appetite and prevents overeating. Since the diet needs that the patient eat a lot of frequently, this juice feeding is important, as surrender to the untempered appetite would possibly result in an excessive weight increase. The additional feedings between dinner and bedtime take care of the bodily activities till the machinery again is at rest.
