According to a fascinating article written by Gretchen Reynolds in THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE, Harvard Researchers have found that just ten minutes of treadmill-running will elevate the metabolites in your bloodstream by ten fold. Metabolites are the bio-chemical processes that govern fat-burning.
Do you need a particle accelerator to get rid of the flab?
Is your suit of armor a slab of blubber?
Is Pepper Potts thinner than you?
Dear Flaabers,
Wouldn’t it be great to unclamp your fat, like Tony Stark unclamped his suit after his entrance into the Stark Expo?(http://bit.ly/cXOAjX)
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if you shot across the sky and landed on our website, Flaab.com?And then we unclamped your fat suit, and you stepped out looking as brilliant, sleek and witty as Tony Stark?
It’s gonna happen.
How?Two ways.First: When you are about to get into trouble with something evil like an extra-cheese-extra-large-extra-crusty pizza, we’ll be your Pepper Potts and tell you NO.Yes.We will call you . . . on the phone.
(Or, if you prefer a different visual motivation, we’ll kick your ass like Scarlett Johansson.)
Studies show that when you’re struggling with temptation----teetering on the brink of disaster----a phone call from a strong supporter can get you through the night!So E. Jean or Kenneth or Jan will call you when you need support.
Second: there is no bigger motivation than money.At Flaab.com, you place a bet (with your own hard-earned money) on how many pounds you want to lose, and when you lose them, we send you your money back (with a little treat).However, if you eat like a swine, and don’t lose the pounds, we send your money to you WORST ENEMY.(Your ex-boss, the woman who stole your boyfriend, a puppy mill.)
That’s two ways to unclamp the fat!We motivate the hell out of you by threatening to send your money to your ex-girlfriend, AND we call you to keep you on track.
If you need help making a bet, we will call you and take you through it step by step.If you are about to dive into the bin of H.Daz at the grocery, we will call you. Just click on “FEEDBACK” at the bottom of the home page and send us your phone number.E. Jean or Jan or Kenneth will call you!
Robert Downey and Mickey Rourke had 100 computer artists to make them look good.And now you’ve got Flaab.com!And you’re going to look devastating.
FLAABBERS! Darlings! Researchers are close to proving that "junk food is literally addictive, producing changes in brain chemistry similar to those cocaine causes."
On Goop, Gwynnie's gruesome (but kinda cool) website, she gives some lovelyelimination advice:
"If your bowel movements get sluggish, you can accelerate things by drinking a half cup of caster oil or using a mild herbal laxative. Bowel elmination is paramont for correct detoxification."
As we Flaabers know, this so-called "detoxing" is one of the worst, most damaging, most crushing things you can do to a human body. Stay AWAY from it.
Has anyone noticed that the more you diet, the hungrier you get?
Auntie Eeee thinks it is because we deny ourselves. And the instant we deny ourselves a certain treat, say Nachos, then Nachooooos become the chief thing we think about. I can barely type I am thinking so hard about Nacchchchchchos (and Peanut M&M's). We may never think about Nanananachos from one year's end to the next, but when we tell ourselves we can NOT have N-nnnnachos, that's when we find ourselves thrashing around the supermarket floor like sharks that must eat or die.....leaving only empty nacho bags in our wakes.
"To deny food will create a general preoccupation with food," as the illustrious Victor Frankl said in Man's Search for Meaning (Frankl was the psychiatrist imprisoned in Auschwitz.)
So let us not drive ourselves crazy. If we want nachos, let's eat nachos.
Flaab.com WORKS! You bet $$$ on how many pounds
you want to lose; and you get your $$$ back when you lose them.
However, if you eat like a swine, miss your deadline,
and don't lose the weight, your money goes to
KILL THE WHALES (a puppy mill, your most detested enemy, etc.)
