The China Diet

I’ve decided to share the secret of my weight loss with the world by writing a book! It’ll be available in early 2007, but here’s a sneak peek:

The China Diet™ is not your traditional diet plan! Instead, you’ll be encouraged to see a new part of the world, learn a new language, and try new foods! You’ll find plenty of information in the China Diet™ book to guide you on your journey to weight loss!

“The real secret to the China Diet™ is that it’s not just a diet, it’s a new and delicious way of looking at life!”

The diet is incredibly simple! There are only three rules:

  1. Move to China: What could be more exciting than living in another country! Just pack a few bags (don’t bring too many clothes! They won’t fit after a while, and they’re cheap here anyway). Warning: This diet does not work if you are Chinese or already speak Chinese
  2. Eat as the locals do: No cheating by going to McDonald’s or Pizza Hut, no matter how much you want it! In fact, avoid places that speak English altogether.
  3. No antibiotics: Um … this will make sense in a few minutes

How it works

The China Diet™ diet utilizes the barrier system, ensuring that fewer and fewer calories make it into your body! There are three barriers Great Walls that work in concert:

  1. Language The first wall begins working as soon as you arrive in China! Since you don’t speak the language procuring food becomes significantly more difficult! You’ll often find yourself skipping meals in order to avoid the stress of not being able to communicate.

    This also has the advantage of dramatically increasing your motivation for learning the language! This is both an advantage and a drawback, as the effectiveness of this wall fades as you learn to speak.

  2. Taste The second wall is the most subtle, but is the most effective in the long run! By eating local foods, you’ll encounter many strange tastes that you’ve haven’t been exposed to in your home country: Meat-based desserts, animals you’ve never heard of, and many more! Before long, you’ll find that your appetite has significantly decreased!

  3. Gastro-intestinal The third wall isn’t very pleasant to talk about, but it works incredibly well as the final line of defense.

    Man, this just cracked me up. The only thing better than the China Diet ™ would be having 4 tape worms.
