EASILY THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL BOOK OF THE YEAR The True Story of the World's Oldest and Healthiest Cured Bulimic. The remarkable (nearly unbelievable) story of a man plagued with obesity from early childhood. A man who spent 23 years excessively dieting, fasting, exercising, and trying every sane or cockeyed method of dealing with his problem. A man who suddenly and unexpectedly hit the jackpot when he attained his lifelong fantasy of eating as much and as often as he likes, without ever again gaining weight. By the age of nine he was a professional eater. While his 12-year-old neighborhood friends were playing street sports and staying slim, he put on a daily showcase at the delicatessen or at Nathan's, gorging on huge amounts of food. When he enlisted in the Air Force and was commanded to lose 50 pounds or be discharged as unfit for military service, he became a professional dieter, betting on how many pounds he could drop in an hour or a day and winning every time. To celebrate his 24th birthday, he embarked on an 89-day Metrical marathon and lost 109 pounds Experimenting with prolonged fasting, he went without any food or drink for 31 days. Instead of suffering from emaciation or comatose symptoms, he played football, carried out his full-time responsibilities as CEO of an educational corporation, grew physically as well as spiritually stronger by the day, and felt like he could go without nourishment indefinitely. At 40, he gave up his crown as "World Champion Professional Dieter" when he found his fountain of youth, the miracle solution to a lifetime of being overweight and dieting. Read the secrets of the world's greatest dieter. The Most Amazing and Unpredictable Autobiography You Will Ever Read
