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, andrepeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you’llhave lost at least 5 pounds.“When the woman returned, she shocked the doctor by losing nearly20 pounds.“Why, that’s amazing!“ the doctor said, „Did you follow myinstructions?“ The woman nodded. „I’ll tell you though, I thought I was going todrop dead that third day.““From hunger, you mean?““No, from skipping.“
