I guess it's easier if you're not a young woman! Then everyone would think you were anorexic.
Did he say he felt starved all the time, or did it not bother him? Did he go on it for some medical reason?
I think he tolerated it fairly well, it did reduce his energy levels. But the last time I saw him he had slipped off the diet. Still slender though. He had no special reason to try the diet, I think the possibility of living 30% longer attracted him.
The #1 cause of untimely death remains Medical Misadventure, and it is distancing itself from #2 which is our government's "food pyramid."

No, you're typical. (The best way for a woman to look younger has always been to gain weight)

I'm not a woman, but the beer belly makes me look a little pregnant, I suppose.
I wasn't saying that you are a woman, and the beer-drinking image you portrayed is certainly not feminine. I was merely pointing out how the death culture has siezed on the word obese to turn reality on it's head.
Both times I quit...I gained weight, but worse!
I spent more time obsessing about smoking than I
had ever spent smoking. I quit quitting, Lost weight,
and feel better with less weight.
HA! I was thinking the same thing.
