A famously stout humorist decides that if losing weight has happened to him, he may as well write about it and benefit the race. He looks back on his romping elfin twenties, recounts the great reduction, takes on Liver-Eating Watkins and other legendary thin eaters, and describes becoming a panting champion of exercise, illustrated by Tony Sarg.

Self-mocking American humour about dieting that still feels current, read as comedy rather than advice. Download the free EPUB.
