Not to be that person but remember that food is fuel and you need it to function. Unless it's for a medical reason (a procedure that requires no food intake 24 hours prior) you NEED to eat. Never starve yourself for weight loss.

When you hit 60, knowing the location of a public toilet is the answer to the first question. The second one is 'am I going to get there in time?'
