RULES FOR DIETING

If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.

If you drink diet soda with candy bars, the calories in the candy bar are cancelled out by the diet soda.

When you eat with someone else, calories don't count as long as you don't eat more than they do.

Food used for medicinal purposes never counts, such as hot chocolate, toast, and Sara Lee cheesecake.

If you fatten up the people around you, then you look thinner.

Movie-related foods do not have additional calories because they are part of the entire entertainment package and are not part of one's personal intake. Examples are Milk Duds, buttered popcorn, Junior Mints, Red Hots and Tootsie Rolls.

Cookie pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking cookies causes caloric leakage.

Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something. Examples are peanut butter on a knife while making a sandwich, or ice cream on a spoon while making a sundae.

Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories. For instance, spinach and pistachio ice cream, cauliflower and whipped cream.

Note: Chocolate is a universal substitute and may be used in place of any other food.
