I've lost seven pounds from a week ago. Maybe I should write a book? Call it the "Strain-B Diet". You'll look and feel like Nick Nolte after a three-day binge, but you'll lose the weight.

Oddly, beginning last night I had a craving for a Fillet-O-Fish from McDonalds, that has yet to be satisfied.
LOL. Me too. The Strain B Diet doesn't work so well once the flu is over though. As soon as I got taste back - that took about 2 weeks - I headed to the nearest buffet table and shoved as much food as possible in my mouth. I ate so much our server thought I was prego. And I weigh about a buck o five when wet.
Then on the way home, I stopped and grabbed a fish sandwich from McDonalds. I think maybe it's the sauce or protein that we crave.
