I guess simply eating right and working out is so much more involved than going to fricken INDIA.

I thought Ethopia had the cure for obesity.

The hardest part is starting. After 3 months, you feel bad if you stop. And now there's also Rimonobant knock-off's up the whazoo.

I cannot believe some people...,P> I do 60 min of very hard cario 5 days a week. I'm 13% bf now, and there was a time when I was like....40%+.

I was disgusting.

The best cure for obesity is to burn more calories than you consume. Works every time.

India also has an excellent weight loss program known as CHOLERA.

Hmmmm. Bargain basement surgery. A number of related but unrepeatable jokes come to mind.

Does this mean that you can stuff your face as much as you want, while moving your body no more than a garden snail, and somebody else will become a fat slob?

Actually, merely driving around the country will likely result in extreme weight loss due to accelerated heart rate and ensuing panic attacks and loss of appetite. Every road there is the equivalent of driving in the Indianapolis 500, but with three lanes of traffic going in both directions at alternating times. One of the most harrowing experiences of my life (and I've been to over 30 countries).

A buddy of mine was always ridiculously overweight - until he got a date to report to the police academy. He lost 105 pounds in about 6 months. I didn't recognize him. He just needed that last bit of motivation to push himself away from the table, start running, and start lifting.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com i used to work for an F500 company that wouldn't let anybody drive in India, China and a couple other third world countries cause you presented such a prime target for an accident.

many of these people will gladly step out in front of your car and lose a leg knowing full well they will sue your company for the life long care and feeding of their entire extended family and win.

Well only if you catch one of the many bacteria found in it. Otherwise Indian water is quite high in calories and protein.

Just the thought of that is a serious weight-loss program!

I guess the flight in question is a C-4; it can carry a few tanks or 100 weight challenged, responsibility shirking, Clintonistas. Meals served every 10 minutes. 600 cans of coke for each passenger. Dessert follows each meal and also immediately precedes the next serving of a full meal, it's all non-stop, the flight also.

Worked for my dad when he did some business in South America and my uncle when he went to Egypt. I swear, both men lost about twenty pounds in a matter of days (while on the toilet).

Here's a good diet: Red hot curry and subsequent diarrhea.

It works.
