Never Hungry



"Never hungry, never full" abates the appetite.
"Eat often very little"
is no empty delight.

"Never hungry, never full" keeps stable energy.
"Eat often very little"
is no insurgency.

"Never hungry, never full" sustains a diet plan.
"Eat often very little"
is no flash-in-the-pan.

"Never hungry, never full" upholds a proper weight.
"Eat often very little"
is no vanity plate.

"Never hungry, never full" presents a way to graze.
"Eat often very little"
is no idle catchphrase.
