| Here is a very successful diet from one of my students (Beatriz) My Last Diet In 1996 I was very fat and I decided to start a diet. The diet was very strong and strict. In the first week I visited an Institute every day to receive injectinos. The first three days the food was very greasy Breakfast: Eggs with bacon, ham and butter. Lunch: Fried Loin of pig ( a fried pork loin) Salad: tomoatoes, lettuce, avocado and tartar sauce or blue cheese dressing. Dessert: Chocolate and peanuts Dinner: Fried beef or fried chicken and salad (the same as lunch). Dessert: more chocolate The fourth day I began the different diet. I eliminated sugar, oil,. bread, pizzas, pastry, spaghetti, cheese, etc. Breakfast: Three soda crackers. Lunch: Chicken or fish or grilled meat with vegetables (boiled or baked) or SALAD: lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber with salt vinegar or lemon, oil free. Dessert: fruits. Melon or watermelon or apple or pears or paopaya, apricot pineapple. These fruits are forbidden: bananas, grapes, and mangoes. In the second week I received more injections on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and then I was weighed. Rules: One day a week I ate only pineapple or watermelon and 10 glasses of water. In the fourth month I began the maintenance diet program. In less than 120 days, I lost 17 kilograms or about 37 pounds. |

| A quote from President G.W. Bush's State of the Union address: Government should be active, but limited. It should be engaged but not overbearing. Government has a role. But too much government crowds out initiative and hard work, private charity and the private economy. |
| Some people want more government, regardless of the cost. Others want less government, regardless of the need. |
