Lose 40 Pounds in 80 Days

I was bewildered. Maybe I was a medical case. A freak. Maybe food did turn to fat in me. Maybe air and water did make me fat.

I'd find out. I'd see my doctor.

With hat humbly in hand, I shuffled into his office and explained my woes. He listened patiently to my homemade diet methods, even though he was probably saying to himself, "Where have I heard all this before, and how many times?" He was most sympathetic. Not once did he laugh.

"Am I a medical freak?" I finally asked. He didn't answer me,

He said, "I'd better examine you."

He did.


I LEARN MY ERRORS

After a thorough examination, the kindly doc assured me that nothing was wrong with me organically - at least nothing that less food wouldn't help.

"But, doc!" I protested weakly, "I just couldn't eat any less food than I'm already doing!"

He settled back then and for 20 minutes he told me the 1,001 errors of my self-administered dieting, my home reducing methods.

For instance, he told me how my small unscientific breakfasts and luncheons actually had more calories than - if I'd eaten properly.

How exercise might tone me up, but I'd have to walk 36 miles to lose one pound of fat.

Thirty-six miles! Say, who could play 12 rounds of golf in one day? 216 holes! Yipes!

"Cut out just one doughnut," he told me, "and you won't have to mow the lawn. You can sleep in a hammock!"

"Double orange juices," he explained, "are as fattening as a full bottle of beer."

"You can have eight bawls of consomme and not get half as fat as that one full bowl of creamed tomato you take on your no-diet luncheon will make you!" he revealed.

"That sandwich," he further explained, "that sandwich that you gulp down so's you won't gain weight at noon time is actually far more fattening than a filet!"

For a finishing touch, he told me that in reality my one meal a day was fattening me up faster than three scientifically balanced meals.

I asked him where I could go to learn about scientifically balanced meals, and believe it or not, the doctor (and he's in his right mind, too) told me:

"At the dog food counter of the nearest grocery store!"
