I've been thinking of a new diet, actually. For some reason I've found for ages now that I can really only eat breakfast. So, I've been wondering if I call everything breakfast would I scoff down lunch and dinner as well??? I probably AM that dumb. It would be called the breakfast diet. No restrictions, you can eat breakfast all day every day. Of course, the idea of it is to put on weight not lose it...so I guess it isn't going to be the biggest seller in the whole world.

Has it ever struck you as peculiar that there is a being-happy that makes you fat and a being-happy that makes you thin. And that commensurately there is a being-sad that makes you fat and a being-sad that makes you thin.

If you can pick the right type of being sad, it is really an excellent diet.

Ah, but if you should happen to be able to get on the being-happy makes you thin, the one where you are so can't-breath-wildly-in-love-with- somebody, so much the better. But, my dear friends, be warned, that at some point it may turn into the sad-thin and although it is an excellent diet, it has some side effects which are too horrible to put into print.

As I look at some of the dieting books I read in the 1980s it becomes wonderfully clear how ephemeral they are.

This was quite a good attempt to point the many dangers of dieting. In particular it explained in layman terms that in dieting your body shut down and behaved like a starving person's body. As a consequence it would take its energy when possible from muscle rather than fat because fat was perceived by it as something in short supply that was important to conserve.

It was reading this book that made me realise I had to stop living the binge eating/dieting way I'd grown up learning. In that sense I guess this sensible little book did rather change my life.… (plus d'informations)
