Burger King – Texas style
by How to loose weight without trying.
after being weaned off my mother’s breast, i was introduced to breakfast…
a sacred event in Holland, short of the Swedish Smorgasbord…
during World War II this was replaced by unit bread with lard (on the farm)…
as the Germans said – “you’ve got to have breakfast”
the Yankees that liberated us, loved our dark wheat bread…
and exchanged it happily for their white toast…
that we ate it with bacon and eggs…
since then i have had many breakfasts in many countries…
a bun with 
fresh butter on Thursday morning…
at the market of Luik or Liege, in Belgium…
a croissant with a glass of wine in France…
a piece of pizza in Italy…
a loaf of hleb in Jugoslavia…
a pita fresh out of the oven in Bethlehem…
yoghuert with honey, in the land flowing with milk and honey…

what has all this to do with weightloss, you ask…
well, let me tell you
in the late season of my life i have cultured a potbelly…
now i hate potbellies with a passion…
the sign of a self-satisfied burger…
i wanted mine to look like that of a seventeen-year-old girl…
including the belly button…
just as it looked once…
so after getting out of bed i started to skip breakfast, , …
sipping Turkish coffee instead…
at three in the afternoon replacing lunch…
and in the evening for supper…
or dinner, whatever you want to call it…
it was tough worked too slow…
and i was shaking all over…
so i quit and let my belly hang over my belt…
like the Korean veteran sergeant, who taught me how to shoot a rifle…
now i am visiting the US with my wife and my belly…
one glorious day, on Market Street in Philadelphia…
we walked by Burger King and decided to have a burger…
a burger for breakfast, you ask…
i had no breakfast and was hungry like hell…
so my wife, a burger fanatic…
treated me on a Texas burger…
largest double burger you ever saw…
with the works, including jalapenos…
i didn’t eat for the rest of the day…
i didn’t need to, I wasn’t hungry…
and folks, i lost two pounds that day!!!

two days later another burger in in New Jersey, off Hwy 87…
i lost another two pounds…
from now on it was Burger King for lunch, every day…
and my friends, the belly is gone…
I have to buy new clothes, that show off my belly…
now you should not conclude, that this is a commercial…
Mac Donald’s french fries are still the best…
and although i am a physician…
i refrain from giving you advise, how to loose weight…
all i am saying is, that it worked for me…
so remember – a burger a day, keeps the doctor away…
Liked it
