we stepped up to the plate so you don't have to

to paraphrase Mark Twain

"I didn't have time to write a short blog entry, so I wrote a long one"

alright, it's opposite day and I actually took the extra time required to write a short twelve step program so you wouldn't have to slog through another god-awful diet book just to help make the author's next boat payment.

one or two of you will manage to grasp the essence of the tummies twelve steps and run with them. congratulations. you can stop reading now. but the vast majority will require a lot more and I guess I knew that. I confess I was trying to do this the easy way, but now it looks like I am going to have to do some work. To complicate matters, I can't attend to this blog as much as I would like because I only get an hour of recreation a day and most of that is spent outside.

so, for those of you who prefer to lose weight by mastering the scientific principles underlying excess adipose reduction processes rather than just eating less bad food, I shall herewith take the trouble to elaborate upon the tummies' twelve.

even then, most of you will click away from this blog in your endless search for the worlds best diet book with the wackiest bet you can't find these ingredients anywhere recipes that take forever to make.

now, to poorly paraphrase Lee Iacocca, "if you can find a better diet book, eat it"
