Summary

This quote humorously highlights a common behavior when faced with challenges or restrictions. The individual complains about feeling exhausted while dieting, seeking a solution from their doctor. However, instead of addressing the root cause of fatigue, the doctor prescribes stimulant medications to boost their energy. Ironically, this only exacerbates their already unhealthy eating habits, resulting in faster consumption of food. The quote sheds light on the tendency of individuals to find shortcuts or workarounds instead of tackling the underlying issues directly.
