Most people go on a diet for purely aesthetic reasons, with a goal of getting rid of a spare tire around the midsection or unsightly neck fat, so it's no wonder that with a name like "the fat belly diet" people are jumping on the latest fad anti-diet bandwagon.

Most people go on a diet for purely aesthetic reasons, with a goal of getting rid of a spare tire around the midsection or unsightly neck fat, so it’s no wonder that with a name like “the fat belly diet” people are jumping on the latest fad anti-diet bandwagon.

...getting a really fat stomach is all about food and attitude.

Details of the new diet are, of course, chronicled in a book written by Leon Chillia and Cassy Sassy-Chillia, editor-in-chief of No-Prevention Magazine, and Sassy, a registered member of the American Society of Gluttons and the Buffet director for Chuck O’Rama Restaurants. 

 Sassy stresses the importance of mind tricks in achieving your weight gain goals. This could be something as simple as keeping those “jumbo-size” sweats hanging in plain view.

 

According to the authors, getting a really fat stomach is all about food and attitude. The mind tricks serve to remind you at mealtime that “you have embarked on a new way of life.”

Mindtricks aside, the key component of the fat belly diet is a 5000 calorie per day plan spread out over four 1200-calorie meals with a calming sugary snack before bedtime. The diet also stresses the importance of allowing no more than six minutes of aerobic exersize between meals, and that each meal should include a large chocolate-chip muffin to help pack on that flabby belly fat.  Creators of the diet claim that new research shows that chocolatly muffins help make weight gain easier because they specifically target the belly region.  

The reccommended four-day kickoff is designed to eliminate swelling and prep the body for the amount of food it will attempt to digest over the course of the diet.

The advantage of the anti-diet is that it has no deadline to when it ends.  You can determine your own ideal weight.  The reccommended four-day kickoff  is designed to eliminate swelling and prep the body for the amount of food it will attempt to digest over the course of the diet.  A liter of Mountain Dew mixed with a two cups of chocolate syrup and a prescribed list of home-made chocolate chip cookies and random soft candies are consumed to “help flush out impurities, reduce gas, and relieve any exess digestive juices.”

 

Some sample meals on the diet include; Quadripple-Stack Cheeseburgers with Extra Cheese and Bacon

After being on this diet for 31 years I can attest that it worked for me.

I read diet blogs frequently (I have Google alerts sending them to my inbox daily). It was nice to find a post that could make me laugh! Fad diets deserve to be the center of a punchline!
