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 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.
