Big Fat Xmas B*stard
Posted by: Spock on 18 November 2003
Seems I've been putting a few pounds on lately and with Xmas just round the corner I thought I might try and lose a bit of weight now in order that I can stuff my face at Xmas and not get fatter than I am already.
Thought I might try that Atkins diet for a quick fix and then sort out a proper diet and exerise regime in the new year.
Whatdaya reckon?

Hey Mekon,
how can I get that leaflet?

If you want to get an idea of of how much mositure your body can lose go camping in the winter and check the very large quantity of condensation on the tent (even though it will be moderately ventilated). You can in fact lose upto 2lb through perspiration alone, no taking into account breathing, and energy consumption!
3lb in one night, no problems believing that.

BTW, last night I went to dinner with Dr Jane Ogden, the researcher who's been on the BBC programmes and in The Guardian slagging off the Atkins diet. She's got some interesting ideas about the relationship between dieting behaviour and consequent weight regain, and the psychological processes that make Atkins so effective (in terms of weight loss) in the short term. I am tempted to come up with a 'Mekon diet' book, see if I can make some money out of it.

What could be more pressing than a five pound weight on your bowels?
In any event I nominate Mr. Hanson for Mayor of Holden-at-Inn

Hey, Mike.

...and of course this figure could be easily increased by wearing a latex suit to amplify the effect. However I would strongly urge Mike Hanson to pass on this experiment as being trapped in a latex suit with a weekend worth of unexpunged turd on a Monday morning could spell disaster and a clean up on a National scale!

Congradulations on the expected new family member. I am in the same position, except for the date, I'm running a little late compared to you - March 23. The problem is that I seem to be eating less if anything, but am gaining weight. My wife says it is sympathy, so she has none for my plight.
regards,
michael

Before, in a way. That was back when I weighed about 190 pounds (i.e. about 25 lbs more than now). In addition, it was shot by Vuk, who I don't think has seen me in the flesh since then. I'll have to get some new shots for the "After" effect.

Thanks, and congratulations to you too. As far as gaining while eating less, are you also less active? That would explain it.

Sorry, I meant before or after your five-pounder.

Yes I know. That's why I said
"Before, in a way."
