After eating far too many donuts during חנוכה, a man’s wife told him that he must go on a diet. He went to a dietitian, who told him that he suggests the following: “Eat normally for two days and then skip a day. If you do this for six weeks, you’ll lose at least ten pounds.” When the man returned six weeks later, the dietitian weighed him and was surprised to see that he had lost twenty five pounds. “This is fabulous!” he said. “Did you follow my instructions?” “Of course,” the man replied, “even though every time I got to the third day, I felt that I couldn’t do it anymore.” “From hunger?” the dietitian asked? “No,” the man answered, “from so much skipping.”
