A Diet That Really Works!

Are you having trouble getting rid of those last pesky few pounds? Have you tried every diet under the sun? Is exercise just too strenuous?

Have I got the diet for you!

It's called The GI Virus/Orange Juice/English Muffin Diet, and it really works! In just 5 days I lost 3 pounds! Here's all you do:

1) Find a place with an outbreak of a GI virus, such as a preschool or large family. Hang out with the group for a week to 10 days. When you start to feel just a little "not yourself", you're on your way!

2) Eat soup out of a can the first night, instead of the healthy balanced meal you had planned.

3) The second day is when the diet really takes effect. Get knocked out and lie in bed with a fever for 10 hours straight, getting out of bed only to throw up. It's easier than yoga! You'll sleep with no interruptions and sweat your fat away! Some people even get delusional and have wonderful dreams!

4) Drink whatever you want at the end of the fever period. Orange juice will taste like golden nectar. An English muffin will keep you satisfied.

5) The next 2 days are slightly unpleasant, as the little you've put in your stomach will immediately "run" out. Don't tell your thoughtful friends, who have brought you all manner of goodies. Don't let them in on the fact that you've lost your sense of smell, either. It's good to have friends!

6) You should see results on the 5th day. Unfortunately, that will be the highlight of the diet, as your appetite will come back and all the weight you lost is sure to return as well. Just record your low weight on the calendar and know that it can be done, if only for a short time.

Remember, throw that Purell away and get goin' with the GI virus!
