Neither are they obese or skinny, but are all of good proportions.” Tea Is Discontinued. ! The diet consisted of steak, roast beef, tongue. beef broth, brain and mar- row, with liver once a week. Tea was discontinued because it contained vita- mins. The subjects chose their own propor- tions of lean and fat Jor the most part. On a typical day Anderson would eat 19 ounces of lean and 9 ounces of pure fat. For a time an all-lean diet was,| re stopped when fat was added nu. Stefansson left the hospital yester- day. but will continue to eat only meat for about six months, submlmng to con- | stant medical examinations.
