Ridiculous Diet Secrets

This blog is for entertainment purpose only, just to refresh our brain from reading the "brainy CS blogs" from Alpha males and females so please, don't take this too serious..

Shamefully, it is precisely people like me that keep all the weight loss companies afloat. As a self-confessed diet addict, I’m constantly on the prowl for diet secrets to try. Reading/hearing about new schemes tends to give me a feeling of ‘hope’; that surely my previous failures can be redeemed if I just find that one secret to weight loss (which doesn’t include salad or exercise!). While some, like eating sweet potato, chicken breast, bananas etc are completely rational and will work for a person who has willpower, other ‘secrets’ are downright ridiculous. I’ve listed my favourites below:

INSTANT RAMEN = INSTANT WEIGHT LOSS?

I read somewhere a little while ago, member of Korean girl band, SNSD's Taeyeon revealed the secret to keeping her slim and trim figure. I expected the secret to be lettuce. Instead I got the shock of my life: Taeyeon’s secret is to eat instant ramen late at night (so much for SNSD girls not eating after 7pm).

Now I don’t want to accuse her of evil, but IS SHE TRYING TO MAKE ME FAT?!?! I have not heard of anyone getting anything from instant ramen except maybe heart disease and/or MSG overdose.

The “COFFEE” diet secret to weight loss:

Korean actress, Han Ga-in does the coffee diet. She drinks 5-6 cups of coffee per day stating: “I diet with coffee. Drinking coffee prevents me from eating other food because it satisfies my stomach enough. So I don’t gain weight,”.
5-6 cups just sounds scary; assuming that you’re awake for 16 hours in a day, that’s about 1 cup every 2.5 hours. No wonder her stomach is getting satisfied, it’s probably already eaten away.

MUM:
Yes. Mum as in mother. Member of Korean girl band, T-ARA's Boram attributed her 10kg pre-debut weight loss to her mother. Apparently her mother guided her daily diet and exercise in addition to putting a ban on the refrigerator.

Coming from an Asian background I can safely tell you that Asian mothers are a huge hindrance to weight loss; second only to that nasty thigh fat which just doesn’t seem to budge. Asian mums are like bipolar ninjas when it comes to emotional manipulation. When you’re feeling super complacent, they’ll whip out a: “Hey! Did you gain weight??? Why do you look so fat these days????” After this emotional KO, when you finally resolve to diet, she’ll make all manner of delicious foods and come up with an: ‘ahhh no need to diet! Eat more rice! Eat more rice! What do you mean you don’t eat carbs?”

Risking your life for weight loss:

Another korean girlband, 4-minute members shared their secret to get sleek figures. As stated by Jihyun: ‘We exercise after we practice our choreography. That is usually around 2-3am, but we exercise at that time.’ *cough* WHAT? Because I don’t have an in-house gym the only place that I can exercise is outside. Do you know what type of people are outside at 2-3am? Murderers and Rapists that’s who.
