Mr. Lee, terribly overweight, turned at last to Herbert Shelton, and
natural hygiene.  Shelton decided to try raw before scheduling a fast:

"I want you to eat 100% raw for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this
procedure for 2 weeks.  The next time I see you, you'll have lost at
least 5 pounds."

When Mr. Lee returned, he shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60
pounds. "Why, that's amazing!" Shelton said, "Did you follow my
instructions?"

Lee nodded.  "I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead
that 3rd day."

"From false hunger pangs, you mean?"

"No, from skipping."
