I wonder where Robb Armstrong got the idea for this one. I once had a diet book called I’LL NEVER BE FAT AGAIN! The author related an anecdote of a man who went on a liquid diet. He held banquets where all his friends would be feasting, while he daintily sipped away at his pink stuff. He went to Italy and got a whole wardrobe of tailored suits. Then…he celebrated coming off his fast by gorging…and gorging…and gorging. The end of the anecdote: “…I can tell you that he has a whole closet of tailor-made suits that have never been worn.”
