Ok, we all know when people take things a little bit too far, but as far as diets go, this classic from the always satirical “The Onion” really takes the cake (or, in this case, desk!).
Presenting … The “No-Food” Diet:
The video is filled with gut-splitting “Did You Know”s including this little gem: “Chewing On Rocks Just Three Hours A Day Burns As Many Calories As Doing Twenty Sit-Ups”!
Diet and exercise, of course, but please … “Don’t Eat Your Desk”!

“Chewing On Rocks Just Three Hours A Day Burns As Many Calories As Doing Twenty Sit-Ups”!… oh dear! This immediately reminded me of a clever cartoon strip Israel Lagares from Fat Man Unleashed recently created - http://www.fatmanunleashed.com/health-toons-unleashed-the-lemon-diet-works/
Is McDonalds paying you to post this story? And if not, are they paying the guy who lost weight eating their food? Is this guy another Jared? What a joke. (Normally like your blog, but what’s up lately???)
Hi Janeway,
. My only intention in posting this was to show that even so called “unhealthy” places have good choices if only people would choose them. I felt it was relevant and very much in fitting with the philosophy of this blog which is “Making Fitness A Way Of Life”. I am sorry you did not find it to your liking but that only makes me want to work harder.
I think you are responding to my McDonald’s Post. First off thanks for your frank comment - I appreciate feedback on the posts I write.
No, McDonald’s did not pay me to write this
And finally for the lack of posting, I am working on a new look for this blog with a different format of posting and a different way to subscribe. Until then posting is likely to be patchy.
Thanks again and I hope to see you on this site often!

FM- I think that is a great story. I read that last week as well and it goes along exactly with my website. I’m on a ‘diet’ where I eat fast food, I have to because I’m always on the road. There are plenty of healthy choices out there you just have to find them. The food can be good too, you just have to know what to get. Good post.
