The Allen treatment was started with two starvation days. On the second he was sugar-free--but showed 2.6 grams of sugar the following day on 12 grams of carbohydrate and 40 grams of protein. (This was one of the earlier cases when the diet was raised too quickly after starvation.) After one more starvation day and two vegetable days he stayed sugar-free while the diet was raised slowly to 30 grams of carbohydrate and 45 grams of protein, calories about 2000. Discharged sugar-free on this diet.

FOOD VALUES.
An estimate of the quantity or bulk of food may be of assistance or interest. There is so much variation in the size of tablespoons or what may be termed either rounding or heaping tablespoons that it must be remembered that we can only estimate. Patients who are instructed how to feed themselves on leaving the hospital are cautioned carefully to take about the quantity of an article of food they have been served while in the hospital when the diet is weighed. Any written advice is always given in quantities known to be under the carbohydrate or protein tolerance of the patient. However, if they will boil the vegetables and change the water at least twice, so much carbohydrate is removed that it is quite possible for them to obtain a comfortable bulk and still take in very small quantities of carbohydrate.

Beans (string) (cut in small pieces) 3 heaping tablespoons.
Bacon—4 slices 6 inches long, 2 inches wide.[7]
Cabbage (cooked)—3 heaping tablespoons.
Cauliflower—3 rounding tablespoons.
Celery—6 pieces 4-1/2 inches long, medium thickness.
Cheese—a piece 4 inches by 1-1/2 inch by 1 inch.

Other Weights.
1 tablespoon olive oil = 13 grams 1 tablespoon mayonnaise = 21 grams 1 thin slice of bread (baker's loaf) = 25 grams 1 medium sized orange = 150 grams 1 peach = 125 grams 1 medium sized apple = 150 grams 1/2 small grape fruit = 150 grams 1 medium sized lamb chop with bone = 100 grams 1 medium sized slice cold tongue = 25 grams 1 slice tenderloin steak 1 in. thick = 100 grams 1 average helping of fish = 100 grams 1 average helping of butter = 10 grams 1 average sized egg = 50 grams 1 average helping of cooked green vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, asparagus, etc. (2 tablespoons)[8] = 100 grams 1 average helping boiled cereal = 100 grams 1 potato, size of large egg = 100 grams[8] It is not true that all the vegetables weigh the same, but for the sake of simplicity in most of the diets it has been reckoned that two heaping tablespoons of any one of the "5%" vegetables weighs 100 gms.
The following food values are taken from Locke's Abstract of Atwater and Bryant's Bulletin No. 28, 1906, United States Department of Agriculture.
Fractions of per cents. have been left off in order to make the use of the table more simple, and the values given will be found quite accurate enough for clinical purposes.
