Those who want to see an end to prejudice will have an opportuni ty to help March 16 when the community‘s annual Brotherhood Dinner is held at Bingeman Park lodge. The formula was developed after 12 years of studies by Dr. David Shefrin, an American herbalist and homeopathic doctor. Through his research, he found a way to combine vitamins and minerals in proper ratios to each other "for optimum results," Berkout says. And the inclusion of concentrated herbs into the formula provides ‘"‘"proper cleansing of the cells within the body and an improveâ€" ment of the overall tone and life force." Sound too fantastic to be true? Not to Berkhout, who has experiâ€" enced the benefits of the product. For Berkhout, her newâ€"found career is perfect. She is essentially her own boss, so the hours are flexible. This is a key factor since she is still nursing an infant daughter. Moneyâ€"wise, things are going well. She began selling the product two months ago, and already the income enables her to ‘*pull my own weight financially." The local counsellor says that Slenderâ€"Me is much more than just another fad product which magiâ€" cally helps overweight people shed pounds quickly. Instead, it was developed as a total health proâ€" gram. The product contains a balanced formula of vitamins and minerals, scientifically combined in an herbal, highâ€"fiber base. It‘s this combination, according to Berkhout, which helps "rejuveâ€" nate health by metabolizing fat tissue, rebuilding lean body mass, and deâ€"toxifying waste products." Berkhout, a recent University of Waterloo graduate, is quick to point out that the money aspect is not everything. The intrinsic rewards are equally important. "I am not in it just for the money." It‘s a rewarding job because she believes in the product 100 percent. "I feel so strongly about it, probaâ€" bly because of my family backâ€" ground," which includes nutritionâ€" ists and herbalists. Karen Berkout is a 22â€"yearâ€"old wife and mother who has found an ideal partâ€"time career. She is a distributor (or ‘"‘counsellor‘") for Destiny Slenderâ€"Me Canada Inc., a company which produces and markets a combined nutrition and diet aid product called *"Slenderâ€" Toronto historian Still a lesson at Brotherhood dinner Karen Berkhout believes 100 percent in the nutrition and diet aid product she sells, called Slienderâ€"Me. The Inside Track Irving Abella, coâ€"â€" still a lesson there, author of the book, says Abella, for Canaâ€" None Is Too Many, will _ dians of today. be the speaker, disâ€" Tickets at $10 each cussing his book which may be reserved from deals with the treat Richard K. Taylor, ment of Jewish refuâ€" at Wilfrid _ Laurier gees in the Canada of University, 884â€"1970, or 40 years ago. There is purchased at the door. KARLA WHEELER The Slenderâ€"Me approach is one of softâ€"sell. "I‘m not into pushing it." Each Monday evening at 7:30 Berkhout gives a lecture at Stirl ing Avenue Mennonite Church. "This is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the product. ‘‘Slenderâ€"Me is an excellent vehiâ€" cle for becoming healthier and losing weight," she says. And "it anyone wants to earn some extra income, becoming a counsellor is a great way to do it." The nutrition and diet plan has been extremely popular in Califorâ€" nia, according to the Jocal counâ€" sellor. And while it‘s relatively new to residents of the Kâ€"W area, many Canadiatis in Toronto have already discovered its benefits. There are currently four counâ€" sellors in the Twin Cities who buy directly from local headquarters and deliver the product to customâ€" ers. The company does not work on a pyramid basis of sales like other direct sales firms. "This is very much like a normal retail outlet," Berkhout notes. Slenderâ€"Me is sold in powder form in cans containing 30 servâ€" ings. Several flavors are availâ€" able, including chocolate, strawâ€" berry and vanilla. A scoop of the powder is mixed with lowâ€"fat milk. This constitutes one meal which "tastes like a milkshake" and contains about 225 calories. Slenderâ€"Me is also available in soup powder. Those who want to lose weight on the plan are urged to have a SIonde;â€"Mc meal for breakfast and dinner and a highâ€" nutrition, lowâ€"calorie main meal of vegetables and protein for lunch. Other success stories abound, such as one customer in the area who lost 14 pounds and eight inches in two weeks. On average, a person will lose about five pounds a week on the plan, she says. Two months ago she was searching for a way to lose some weight (without sacrificing high nutriâ€" tion) as well as shed excess inches at her waist which built up during and after childbirth. "I took Slenderâ€"Me for three days. My energy level was working double time! I felt fantastic! I lost four pounds and one and a half inches from my waist." Karla Wheeler photo
