We’ve all been there—standing in the doctor’s office, receiving the “you need to lose weight” talk. But for one blonde woman, the doctor’s orders were taken just a little too literally.
The Doctor’s “Foolproof” Plan
During a routine check-up, the doctor noticed his patient was terribly overweight. He decided to put her on a simple, structured diet to get things moving.
“I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day,” the doctor explained. “Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you’ll have lost at least 5 pounds”.
The Shocking Result
Fast forward two weeks later. The woman returned to the clinic, and the doctor was absolutely stunned. She hadn’t just lost 5 pounds; she had lost over 20 pounds! She looked like a completely different person, but she also looked incredibly exhausted and frail.
“This is amazing!” the doctor exclaimed. “I only expected 5 pounds, but you’ve surpassed all expectations. Did you follow the diet exactly?”
The Unexpected Twist
The woman nodded weakly. “Yes, Doctor. But I have to tell you… I thought I was going to die on the third day.”
The doctor concernedly asked, “Why? From being so hungry?”
She shook her head and replied, “No… from all that skipping!”
The Moral of the Story
Communication is key! Sometimes we follow instructions to the letter, but we completely miss the “spirit” of the advice. Whether it’s a diet or a life lesson, make sure you’re skipping the snacks, not skipping down the street for 24 hours straight!
