The recession diet works simple, and it works too! 1. Get your wages cut at work. 2. As you spend more money to make rent, you spend less money on food. 3. As you spend less money on food, you eat less. 4. As you eat less, you lose weight*! 5. ???? 6. Profit! God, dont you love how the economy is going to improve our health overall? Besides the massive amount of stress, depression, nausea, and insomnia that comes as a result of getting your wages cut and/or losing your job. * WARNING: Studies have proven that the opposite may in fact happen, since it is also shown that people who eat less spend more in fast food. The long term effects of this diet are not known, and it can cause serious medical conditions. Please consult with your accountant before you consult this diet. (read this part as fast as those drug commercials show the last warning.) In all seriousness though, I have lost 20 pounds the last 4 weeks thanks to this BS economy.
