"As long as their weight stays within two pounds of the weight reached on the day of the last injection, patients
should take no notice of any increase but the moment the scale goes beyond two pounds, even if this is only a
few ounces, they must on that same day entirely skip breakfast and lunch but take plenty to drink. In the
evening they must eat a huge steak with only an apple or a raw tomato...

It is of utmost importance that the meal is skipped on the same day as the scale registers an
increase of more than two pounds and that missing the meals is not postponed until the following
day. If a meal is skipped on the day in which a gain is registered in the morning this brings about an immediate
drop of often over a pound. But if the skipping of the meal - and skipping means literally skipping, not just
having a light meal - is postponed the phenomenon does not occur and several days of strict dieting may be
necessary to correct the situation."1
So here I am having my first steak and apple day because this morning I happen to weigh 0.4 ounces over the allowed weight range. So no breakfast, lunch and snacks for me today. I did make myself some iced tea this morning and have been trying to drink as much water as possible. My highly anticipated steak is right now defrosting, and my Macintosh is cooling in the fridge. Let's hope there's not too many of these days ahead of me...
