Wackiest Weight-Loss Ideas

[SwamiLeoni]

What are some of the wildest things you guys have heard in regards to people using unconventional and odd methods.

This is something I had a hard time believing until I did a little research. I think people still try this technique today, and if so, they are complete crazies.

I heard in Japan there was acupuncture for weight loss a while ago and so called "Soap weight loss".

My friend went on a mini carrot and water diet a month before a float trip so he could look thin. He wasn't even what I would consider fat but he wanted to have abs I guess.

He'd wake up in the morning, run 2 miles on an empty stomach, chug water and eat some carrots and then end his day with another 2 mile run and more water and mini carrots. Once a week his "cheat" day consisted of lean chicken but just for one meal... Then it was back to water and mini carrots.

Somehow, some way, he made it and he was sickly skinny but dammit if that guy didn't have abs.

Bulimia and anorexia are pretty effin wacky if you ask me.

I've always thought that deliberately burning off your taste buds would be a good way to loose weight

I accidentally did this the other night while trying to eat pizza when I was drunk. Would not recommend.

Here's a crazy weight loss idea... How about doing some cardio. I swear to god, people will expend all of the energy in the world trying to lose weight except doing what actually makes a difference.

That's always been strange to me.

weight loss is mainly diet tbh , u can do as much cardio as you want if ur diet aint right u aint losing nothing , but if ur diet is on point you don't have to do cardio to lose weight

Cardio is a myth. If you're fat it's because of genetic reasons outside of your control that predetermines you'll be fat regardless of what you do. Seriously man, stop fat shaming I mean it's 2013 jeez.

I'm going to post this then leave before I get raped with a dumbell by the strength and conditioning mafia...but I think the latest prevailing wisdom says lifting weights is actually a better weight loss plan than cardio, if you have to pick one...

*runs and hides*

That's something a fat person would say... I'm onto you, Faust.

When I was a kid I put a metal hammer in a freezer and waited until it froze and licked it. I lost some taste buds.

Perhaps a 3 pronged attack works best

b-but muh genetics



edit: I see I'm not the first to point out the flaw in your idea

It's possible because the act of lifting weights itself burns calories then the muscle you build increases your metabolism and burns fat. You still need cardio to actually be in shape though.

Cardio isn't really the answer to weight loss either. Unless you are going to cardio for hours upon hours. Even then you could easily eat your way through that calorie deficit in one meal.

If you want to lose weight, you have to control your diet.

How many obese quadriplegics have you seen? The reason it's slim to none is because doctor's manage their diet and they are able to keep them from getting fat when they are getting no exercise.

Ya, but how good was his vision?
