A "full-figured" woman went to see her doctor because she needed to lose some weight. After discussing her issues with the doctor, he gave her a simple plan. "Listen", he said. "I want you to eat your normal foods, but not as large servings. Just 'normal' portions. Do that for two days, then skip one day." "Continue that same schedule... normal foods for two days, then skip one day. Do that for two weeks then come back for a follow-up. I guarantee that you will lose at least five pounds. Then we will make a plan for your continued success.!!". The woman agreed to try it for a couple of weeks.....
Two weeks later she returned as requested. When the doctor weighed her he was astonished at her having lost twenty pounds.!! "How did you do this?" he asked. "How do you feel?" The woman said, "It was okay for the first couple of days, but that third day just about killed me.!" The doctor smiled, still pleased, said... "The hunger was pretty bad, huh.?? The woman shook her head, "Well, not too bad, it wasn't that." The doctor said, "What do you mean.?" The woman said, "The slightly smaller portions weren't too bad. But all of those "third" days... That's a lot of skipping.!!".
