Thanks to Anna Welander for sharing this with us:

Needing to shed a few pounds, my husband and I went on a diet that had
specific recipes for each meal of the day. I followed the instructions
closely, dividing the finished recipe in half for our individual plates.
We felt terrific and thought the diet was wonderful because we never
felt hungry, but when we realized we were gaining weight, not losing it,
I checked the recipes again. There, in very fine print was: "Serves 6."
