From Not Always Right : This Diet Is A Mis-Steak

During the Atkins Diet craze, I had the misfortune of waitressing at a diner. Atkins bandwagoners just could not understand why they couldn’t substitute whatever meat product they wanted for hash browns or toast on their breakfast combos.

Customer: “I’d like your breakfast meal, but please replace the toast with some steak.”

Me: “That’ll be a $5.99 upcharge.”

Customer: “What, I can’t get a little piece of steak instead of toast?”

Me: “Yes, but you need to pay. The steak costs more — quite a lot more.”

Customer: “It’s a bit unfair that the only combos you offer have items that aren’t Atkins-friendly!”

The ones who complained loudest had no idea what they were really doing with Atkins, so I took revenge by undermining them whenever possible — things like offering them ketchup whenever possible and smiling gleefully whenever I saw them sop it all over their meat products.

NOT my story.

Diet is die with a T.

After all … Why starve yourself to death just so you can live a little longer? (—

Been there done that many many times.

I don’t buy that Aunty, the spare tyre around my midriff seems immortal!

I’d lose more weight on an eating diet…

Living in the moment!!!

Diets definitely don’t last forever.

I’m so proud of you, I wouldn’t have thought you would make it that long.

Aunty, come on now, you are using the same diet you have all your life. The SEE FOOD diet. You see food you eat it.

She fell off the wagon.. and into a tank of ice cream.

Most diets start tomorrow.
