MSNBC reports that a 66-year-old woman has lost 85 pounds by eating all her meals at her local Starbucks.

A dietician that MSNBC interviewed for the story, of course, says this diet is probably not a good idea and that the woman risks malnutrition by sticking to one restaurant source for all her meals. But the woman claims that “Nothing hurts anymore. I used to attributes some of my aches and pains to aging. I have no medical issues whatsoever. I just feel like a kid again.”
