Remember "Susie Chapstick" - a minor TV celeb from chapstick commercials 
and a little skiing?

During her subsequent short term of fame, she came up with a "Theory" of 
something about health.

She got it during a taxi ride.

"Chapstick", skiing and a taxi ride add up to a brand new "Theory".


-- 
1) Eat Till SATISFIED, Not STUFFED... Atkins repeated 9 times in the book
2) Exercise: It's Non-Negotiable..... Chapter 22 title, Atkins book
3) Don't Diet Without Supplemental Nutrients... Chapter 23 title, Atkins 
book
4) A sensible eating plan, and follow it. (Atkins, Self Made or Other)
