Your Nude Weight

The easiest way to do this is to get on the scale while you’re naked as a jaybird. That could prove inconvenient if you’re weighing yourself in a public place. But there is a way. You must know the weight of the clothing you’re wearing and then subtract it from what you weigh clothed. I’m speaking of the weight of all of the clothing, every last item. Even if your home scale isn’t accurate enough to weigh you, it should be good enough to weigh your clothing. Don’t weigh your clothes by placing them on the scale. That won’t work. Here is how you do it.

At home, weigh yourself while wearing specific clothes. Mark down the weight. Now remove all the clothes, step on the scale, and weigh yourself nude. Mark down your nude weight. Subtract the second weight from the first. The difference is the weight of your clothes. Armed with that information, you may now go to some accurate scale and weigh yourself while wearing those exact same clothes. Subtract the weight of your clothes. That is your nude weight. Now wasn’t that easy?

If it isn’t possible to obtain your nude weight, you will have to estimate the weight of your clothes and subtract it from your dressed weight. If you choose to do this, take the time to indicate exactly what you were wearing at the time of the weighing. Note everything: outer clothes, underwear, the particular pair of shoes, etc. You will want to wear the exact same outfit when you do your final weighing. The more precise you are, the more reliable the result.

There is another little task you must do before you begin the test. I want you to take your temperature. This should be the first thing you do on the day you start the diet, in fact it should be done while you’re still in bed, before you’ve walked around, before you’ve brushed your teeth, before you’ve had your coffee. You must therefore prepare for it the night before. There should be a thermometer on the night table next to your bed, already shaken down and ready for use. Pop it into your mouth, under your tongue, as soon as you awaken. Leave it in for about two minutes. Write down the result next to the first date on the Daily Temperature Chart on page 174.

Please buy yourself a glass thermometer for a couple of bucks if you don’t already have one. These are the ones with the thin shiny column of mercury inside. Don’t worry. The mercury won’t harm you as long as it remains on the inside. Some of the results from the newer gadgets are questionable. I believe that your temperature is best taken in your mouth and not in your ear. So take your temperature, write it down, shake down the thermometer, and get it ready for the next day. You will need to take your temperature most mornings for those twenty-eight days and record these readings on the chart.
