Dear Dr. Comfort:
Because I am clinically overweight, four months ago I devised a nutrition plan for myself that controlled, in specific percentages, the amounts of certain vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, etc. that I ate each day.
My plan, which I call “The Really Good Nutrition Plan,” worked for about 3 and a half months, during which time I lost approximately 40 pounds. However, in the past month I have noticed an increase in my weight each week, a.k.a. I broke the scale. It seems that my percentile calculations, which were done solely in my head because I do not have access to a calculator, are completely wrong. Being a nutrition specialist, you should know best. The following are the amounts of each specific ingredient that I made sure to eat each day for 3½ months. Out of a 2,500 calorie diet, I ate the following:
30%: oat 20%: simple carbohydrates 12%: protein 10%: fiber 9%: iron 6%: oxygen 5%: complex carbohydrates 2%: kelp 2%: lead-based paint 2%: calcium/fat 1%: zinc 1%: jelly beans
Could you please help? I heard that you are the best at what you do, so I believe you can help me. I am willing to pay whatever you charge normally, as I realize that being obese only leads to a shorter future. I hope you will reply to this letter at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Kevin Dickinson |
