Miracle diet
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves and wiser people so full of oubts* -- Bertrand RussellTHE TODDLER MIRACLE DIET
Americans are always on the lookout for a new diet.The trouble with most diets is that you don't get enough to eat (the starvation diet), or you don't get enough variation (the liquid diet) or you go broke (the all-meat diet). Consequently, people tend to cheat on their diets, or quit after 3 days, or go right back to stuffing their faces after it is all over.
Is there nothing you can do but give up and tell your friends you have a gland problem?
Well, now there's the new Toddler Miracle Diet!
Over the years you may have noticed, as I have, that most two-year-olds
are trim.
It came to me one day over a glass of water and a carrot that perhaps
their
diet is the reason.
After consultation with pediatricians, X-ray technicians, and distraught
Moms, I was able to formulate this new diet.
It is inexpensive, offering great variety and sufficient quantity.
Before embarking on this diet, however, be sure
to check with your doctor -- otherwise, you might have to see him
afterward.
Good luck!
