A woman was terribly overweight, so her doctor put her on a diet.
"I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat
this procedure for 2 weeks.
The next time I see you, you'll have lost
at least 5 pounds."
When the woman returned, she shocked the doctor by losing nearly 20
pounds.
"Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my
instructions?"
The woman nodded. "I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop
dead
that third day."
"From hunger, you mean?"
"No, from skipping."
