Default Looking for a link...

Someone posted an awesome link a little while ago. It's a link to an E-book, written by the designer of auto CAD. He lost 88 lbs in a yr. and kept it off, and wrote a book about it. This particular link was to a diagram showing all the various substances our body uses throughout the day, and how that translates in weight loss. (Surprisingly, some %60 is water, and only about %16 is solid food.) Anyway, could whoever posted the link the first time repost it for me?
Thanks!

Haha, that was probably me. Feel free to bookmark it, and throw it on every "OMG DID I REALLY GAIN 5LB OVERNIGHT?!??!" post that you see.

I link to the 3rd edition because it's easier to link directly to one page in that one... but if you haven't seen it, there's a 4th edition with nicer formatting as well:

This is the first reference that I have seen here about the hacker's diet. When I first decided to lose weight and was researching I read this ebook. It made perfect sense to me and appealed to the geek in me. I deal with data everyday and am comfortable with data. Looking at weight loss as another set of data really helped me. I would recommend anyone reading this.
