Effective Diet

	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 3rd day."

	"From hunger, you mean?"

	"No, from skipping."
