I love the "moderation in the pursuit of happiness is no vice" line!

I did the Drinking Man's Diet too -- not for the drinking, but, when it was new, the "under 60 carbs" seemed like an interesting idea. It worked for me -- I was much younger, mid-20s; this was 30 years ago. I couldn't stick to it. Back then, I thought you lost the weight and then went back to eating chocolate and drinking Cokes.
