An idiot goes to his doctor because he’s worried about his weight.
He says, “Doc, I’ve tried everything — low carb, no carb, even air diets — nothing works!”
The doctor nods thoughtfully and says,
“Alright, here’s what I want you to do. Eat normally for two days, then skip a day. Repeat that pattern for two weeks. When I see you again, you’ll have lost at least five pounds.”
Two weeks later, the guy shuffles back into the office.
His clothes are hanging off him, his face is pale, and he looks completely worn out — but sure enough, he’s dropped nearly twenty pounds.
The doctor’s jaw drops. “Wow, that’s incredible! You actually lost almost twenty pounds! Tell me, did you follow my instructions exactly?”
The guy nods weakly. “I sure did, Doc… but I’ll tell you, I thought I was gonna drop dead that third day.”
The doctor frowns. “From hunger, you mean?”
The guy shakes his head. “No, from all the skipping!”
