appetite is abnormal, how can it be made normal?
There is but one way of creating a normal appetite and that is by fasting. One must fast until he has a clear unmistakable craving for food, then the instinct will have no difficulty in selecting those foods most needed, if a choice of wholesome and nutritious foods are given. As to the length of time one should fast in order to bring about these results it will of course depend entirely on the physical condition. If the appetite has been outraged in the usual way, year after year, and no attention has been given to the necessity for physical exercise, it would no doubt take a fast of several weeks to bring about an absolutely normal condition. I am fully aware that there are but few of my readers who would dare attempt a fast of such duration, and, in fact, practically the same results can be achieved without resorting to such extremes, though these results will of course not appear so speedily as they would if a total fast could be endured.
