The book is available on Amazon. To summarize it in a couple sentences: Eat between 30 and 60 grams of carbs each day; alcohol (except sweet liquors and dessert wines) doesn’t count. Don’t pig out.

You must have been drunk not to pick up that I was lamenting political correctness rather than praising it.
Also – the Bourbon and Cigarette diet is quite popular in some circles – good luck on your journey.

From your article:

In a time where most of us believe it is not only right, but somehow just, to banish smokers to stand outside their office and smoke in weather that we would not allow our pets out in, there would be no market for such a politically incorrect little book.

My response:

Either you’re a bleeding-heart liberal, from California, or just plain annoying to say that ‘most of us believe it is not only a right…’ You have no rights in that regard.

Speak for yourself, not for the American people.

P.S. I think the diet is brilliant. Actually, I really don’t care about diets at all! I have to go now….my Bourbon is getting low and my cigarettes are in the other room.

I did the diet many moons ago. I don’t drink, but it was a great diet anyway and I lost loads of weight.
Norma you can get it from Amazon.com and probably from any big bookshop.
All you really need is a really good carbohydrate counter book, and stick to no more than 60g of carbohydrate a day, plus plenty of water to drink.

I actually remember this diet from when I was a kid. I was friends with the children of the neighbors a house over from where we lived, and these people liked to PARTY. The dad was thin as a rail, so I think he was into the diet for other more obvious reasons.

I think I was born slightly too late in time. I still like the music from that era, and I feel like I was born with a martini glass in my hand. This would have been what I’d chosen to try to lose weight (or just not care about it).
