Tuesday, 09 February 2010 | by Pat's Picks
If your New Year’s diet has already gone by the wayside and you’re just biding time until Chinese New Year rolls around to give it another go, this might be the solution you want to try in the interim: the Completely Fake Diet. It’s the Chicago Tribune’s very funny antidote to the hoards of diets we are inundated with at this time of the year. The plan relies on deception, calorie consumption, instead of restriction, and a good sense of humor. Below are is a synopsis of the five steps, click through for a full description:
Display vegetables prominently on your desk at work in a manner that your colleagues will notice.
Quiz the waiter when out at a restaurant to show calories are on your mind
Wear something too tight to make people believe that you believe you’ve lost enough weight to look good in leopard print.
Carry around a jug filled with yellow liquid so people think you’re an adherent of the Master Cleanse.
