Besides green vegetables, fruit, and the yolk of egg, cereals are a not inconsiderable source of iron.

Wheaten grits and hominy one hour, but a half hour longer cooking will not injure them and makes them easier of digestion.

Nowhere does it exceed two or three miles in breadth, except along the eastern shore of Lake Utah, where it extends from the base of the mountains to the verge of the lake. Almost all cereals and vegetables attain the utmost perfection, rivalling the most luxuriant productions of California.
When fasting for weight loss, the only way to keep the weight off is to greatly reform the diet; to go on, and stay on, a diet made up largely of non-starchy, watery fruits and vegetables, limited quantities of cooked food, and very limited amounts of highly concentrated food sources like cereals and cooked legumes.
