She nodded. “Yes, exactly as you said — two days eating normally, then one day of skipping.”
The doctor smiled. “Wow, I didn’t think it would work that well! But you look exhausted. Were the ‘skip’ days really that hard?”
The woman sighed. “Hard? You have no idea! I almost didn’t make it through the second week.”
The doctor frowned, confused. “Wait… what do you mean?”
She replied, catching her breath:
“Well, I ate for two days like you said, then on the third day, I started skipping — all day long! Around the house, down the street, even in the park! My legs are killing me!”
The doctor nearly fell off his chair laughing.
