Last night Stephen Colbert introduced a new weight loss technique: The Rand Paul-eo Diet.

"The only weight loss system scientifically developed by a self-licensed ophthalmologist," Colbert explained. "It's just three easy steps to deregulating your waistline!"

The "diet," per se, took aim at Paul's speedy exit from a debate with a "dreamer," who approached Paul and Rep. Steve King.
