Abstract
This report relates the effect of nutritional guidance under the reporter's menu plan for the reduction of the excess-weight. After a survey to identify overweight female inpatients in a mental institution, subjects were chosen from the female applicants who had desired to reduce their excess-weight.1) Fifty three per cent of the inpatients in the mental institution needed care for corpulency.They showed twenty per cent excess-weight over the standard. The figure of 53% indicated that a considerable number of the inpatients were corpulent.2) Five subjects, each representing one of 5 different body types, showed no significant difference in their energy consumption per hour. It was presumed that their uniform lives under scheduled daily routine in the hospital were the cause of the above fact.3) Under the reporter's 67 day nutrition menu plan, the subjects have lost 3.2 kilograms of weight on the average. There was a high coefficient of correlation between energy intake-output and weight change.Considering the two facts above, the conclusion was drawn that nutritional guidance had much effect on the weight change of the inpatients.
