Arbeit macht frei: - Fredrick Töben

And so to my losing 13 kg within 3 months. What was my secret when the
temptation was there to eat up? I followed a simple recipe: eat everything
but only a third of each. If I could not give the food away then I had to do
what I hated doing – throw it away. There was always too much in my tub,
so I simply threw away the food.
I relied on salads for fillers. Once a week I delighted in my Mars Bar. This
repeated my time in England’s prisons. Similarly, at Mannheim, but there it
was the square chocolate Rittersport that delighted me so much that I
would eat half-a-dozen and then rest easy!
Of course, merely reducing the food input would not cause me to lose
weight. I was fortunate in that I had a job that enabled me to move all my
body parts – painting those posts. Hence, a combination of regular physical
activity and reduced food intake enabled me to go from 90 kg to 77 kg.
I would have needed an extra month to get down to my ideal weight of
72 kg. That is for next time when again I will not go on a diet and eat
specific food but eat everything that comes my way – but then only a third,
and find a job that will enable me to exercise while working!
