Egads. I’ve been on a similar diet for about 10 weeks, and have lost 10 pounds. That’s great. Now I want to eat a fucking donut wrapped in Pop Tarts and smothered in bacon and butter, just to distance myself from these nitwits. I mean, really, the 1-2-3 diet – what in the FUCK does that have to do with phi? I haven’t read the book, nor have I seen the movie – and I’m already tired of it. ---

Have you considered the **Fish Called Wanda** diet? It’s high in omega-3 fatty acids, and you get to stuff chips up your nose. ---

Obviously, none of you are capable of decoding the diet the book is _really_ trying to promote, which consists of being a wanted murderer throughout most of Europe, and having to flee the bad guys every three and a half seconds. Therefore, plenty of aerobic, calorie burning exercise+no time to eat=weight loss. Fools. 😛 ---
