A handy guide to staying healthy, January 12, 2006
When not one but four relatives gave me this book over the holidays, I knew they were trying to tell me something: you need to slow down on the bacon.
So I've been using this book a lot. The basic idea is simple, and easy to follow: food contains cholesterol, ergo don't eat food. Some of you are probably thinking, "Oh but you need food in order to survive and I want to survive and I'm not really committed to a healthy lifestyle because I'm whiny and lazy and you've got to eat to live, don't you?" to which I can only reply: WRONG.
For instance, this morning I had a cup of Earl Grey tea, and a piece of Dentyne Ice. For lunch I will drink a cup of chicken broth and suck eactly half of one pineapple Lifesaver. Dinner, (which is my favorite meal so I really go all out), will be a three-second shot of Pam sprayed directly on my tongue followed by two stalks of celery soaked in salt water, with a NutriGrain bar for dessert.
I've been doing it this since New Year's, and the results are stunning. I'm having trouble keeping my vision focused so it's hard to see exactly what I look like in the mirror, and my teeth feel really loose lately, but the compliments I've gotten from people! "You look really skinny!" "You've dropped down a few pants sizes!" "I can see each one of your ribs right through your shirt!"
Also, congrats to Reader's Digest for not capitalizing the title of their book, which could of scared off a lot of people afraid of proper nouns.
