Ladies and Gents, does this sound familiar when you cheat?
“In a snack-bar with friends, I ordered for lunch a baked potato with tuna mayonnaise. When it came to the table, it was the most whopping great potato I had ever seen: at a rough estimate it must have been worth at least eight bread units*. Naturally, I ate the whole lot with my old gusto – I think it was my eyes that so tempted me, not my appetite – and I felt not a little full. Within the hour, that old unbearable feeling of faintness mixed with desperate need for more food came upon me and I found myself suggesting ice-cream to my friends, who were eager enough. By the time I got home, some two hours and two chocolate bars later, I was extremely crotchety and immediately burst into a flood of tears.”

This strange but interesting book is about Dr. Lutz’s Book, Life Without Bread.
* A Bread Unit is equal to 12 grams of Carbohydrates.
