"I lost 3 pounds of fat per week following this 1 old rule . . ."

. . . getting off my fat ass and moving around."

Or at least, that's what I think their big secret is. One of the biggest industries in the world today is the diet industry and people, we're the reason they're so big. Let me enlighten you my fellow lard cakes on why the "fad diet" needs to go the way of the dodo and why you should be equally extinct for believing any of their claims.

First off, everyone has a different body. I know, shocking. I had to sit down and drink four Pepsi colas before that sunk in. Shortly before a sugar rush. Simply put, everyone has different shapes, sizes and body chemistries, meaning no diet works for everyone except one: EXERCISE. Eat green, eat brown, and move your dumb ass around, that's all you have to do. I'm learning this the hard way because after four years of abusing my body in college, I got a wake up call in the form of my doctor who looked over my blood work and informed me that I could develop diabetes if I didn't change my diet. Chronic illnesses that require constant blood drawing are a good way of setting a man's priorities.

Fad diets have some positives. They are getting people more concerned about their weight and they are getting people healthier. Of all the diets I've seen, I have to say the worst really seems to be the NutriSystem type diets, the ones where the food is sent to you. I prefer Weight Watchers because the whole focus is portion control, something I think is the core problem of the civilized worlds' weight problems.

Bah, bored now. I'll write more later. But probably not. Maybe.

No.
