The Last Chance Diet From the name you’ll know something is really off here. I’ll call it Once Chance Diet. It was created by Dr Roger Linn in the 1970s. The One Last Chance Diet is basically about starvation where nothing but Dr One Chance’s special liquid protein Prolinn is taken. Now, here’s the yucky part. The liquid protein is made up of slaughter- house leftover by-products like crushed animal horns, hooves, hides, tendons and bones. Other stuff like enzymes, colorants and artificial flavors are included. Does it Work? It was reported that between two and four million people tried the diet but 58 of them died from heart attacks. PLEASE, DON’T TRY ANY OF THE ABOVE AT HOME, IN SCHOOL OR ANYWHERE ELSE. GO AND EXERCISE AND WATCH WHAT YOU EAT! Abeg mod help recognize mah hard work by pushing this to Fp CC: Lalasticlala 1 Like

9. The Vision Diet
The idea is that if food looks less appealing, you might
not want to consume it. So, some very ‘smart’
Japanese people came up with diet sunglasses that
have blue lenses. They say it makes food look
unappetising and hence it reduces your appetite. The
lenses are said to block red light which they claim can
stimulate the appetite.
Does it Work?
I don’t know. All I know is that it is very simple to take
off those glasses, put them aside and eat that food in
front of you. 1 Like

8. Breatharian Diet
These group of people believe they don’t need food to
survive. They claim that only fresh air and sunlight are
required to survive. It is a spiritual exercise carried by a
branch of Hinduism. They say it is not a weight loss
program but people have used to to lose weight.
Does it Work?
Yes! Right before the person dies! It has been linked to
numerous deaths of devotees who died of dehydration
and hypothermia.

7. The Sleeping Beauty Diet
No long talk here. The person that is sleeping cannot
eat. That is the whole idea. While you sleep you don’t
consume kilojoules, forcing your body to burn up
kilojoules already stored. This was popularized by Elvis
Presley. People who use the method take sleeping pills
and would be off for days.
Does it Work?
So they say but I was also told that “a little sleep, a
little slumber and poverty creeps up like an armed
bandit”. I’d rather be fat and rich than slim and

6. The Chewing Diet
This doesn’t sound so bad at first until you get to the
end part. Here’s how it goes: You put a considerable
amount of food in your mouth and you chew it 32 times,
which will last about 30 seconds. Then you tilt your
head backwards and let the food trickle down your
throat. Anyone that is left in your mouth has to be spat
out.
Does it Work?
Yes, it does. Created and popularized by Horace
Fletcher in the Edwardian era, he lost 40 pounds (18
kilos) in just four months. He believed that chewing
allowed food to be properly absorbed into the body.
Insufficient chewing would lead to constipation and clog
up the digestive tract. But I bet he never thought about
how disgusting it was. Yuck!

5. Tapeworms
The idea is to swallow a tapeworm that goes into your
body and absorbs food and nutrients and thereby
causes weight loss. One tapeworm might not be enough
to make a difference initially but the patient is told not
to worry as tapeworms can grow up to 30 feet long and
since they have both male and female reproductive
organs, the carrier can spread the eggs in their
bathroom and may have them pass back into their
system again.
Does it Work?
Like, hell yeah! It works so well, it can kill. It can cause
seizures, digestive blockages, organ function disruption,
brain and nervous system damage.

Tube Feeding
Originally meant to nourish people who cannot eat due
to illness or injury, this method is now employed for
weight loss, especially for brides to be. A feeding tube
is inserted through their nose and it goes all the way
down the esophagus into the stomach. And it will stay
there 24 hours a day, for 10 days, and eating is
avoided. A rich-in-protein, low carb formula is fed
through the tube, sending in roughly 800 daily calories.
Does it Work?
Yes, it does but the tube will one day go off and like the
tongue patch, the person will be back to square one.
Makes no sense. And oh, yes, it is expensive too, about
$1,500.

3. The Plastic Tongue Patch
This was created by Dr. Nikolas Chugay, a Beverly Hills
plastic surgeon. It is yet to be approved but this is how
it works: a patch is sewn on the tongue with six
stitches and it is done in about 10 minutes. The patch
then makes it extremely painful and even difficult to eat
solid food. One is required to go on a liquid-only diet
that supplies about 800 calories a day.
“As you’re swallowing, say, a cheeseburger or
something, that tongue is pushing things up against the
roof of the mouth and back into the throat,” explained
Chugay. “And so while it’s doing that, it’s going to
basically be uncomfortable if you have that on top of
the sutures, which are basically fishing line. So now you
have two little sharp points on the tongue, rubbing up
against the top of the mouth, and it’s going to be
uncomfortable.”
Does it Work?
Yes, it does but when the patch goes off and you can
eat again, what do you think will happen? By the way, it
costs about $2,000.

2. Smoking Cigarettes
A lot of models and professional Ballet dancers use this
method to lose weight. And this is how it works:
Smoking causes the taste buds to be less effective.
This makes food lose its taste. Nicotine on its own, is
an appetite suppressant. Hence, as one smokes more
cigarettes, one eats less.
Does it Work?
Yes, it does but the Ministry of Health warns smokers
are liable to die young. 1 Like

Not everyone these days is satisfied with their body weight. Not everyone can stay fit and slim. We all know it’s not so easy to get to that body size we always envy. It requires exercise, a healthy diet and dedication. And even after all that, you could still relapse back to your former size. All sorts of exercise routines, drugs, weight loss programs and even herbal treatments have been employed to get people to lose all their extra fat. Some of them have worked, some haven’t. As for me, I am a firm believer in exercising. It has worked for me even though I am mostly lazy. But not everyone is like me who sees results in a few days of working out. Some people exercise rigorously and instead of losing weight, they add more. Some are not just patient with the process while others want instant results. Listed below are the craziest methods people have employed to lose their body fat. 1. Jaw Wiring Jaw wiring is an oral mechanical device fixed to keep the jaw in place and to prevent the consumption of solid food. Originally, Jaw wiring was not for weight loss; it was particularly to heal fractures but it is popular today for its success in stopping people who can’t control their eating habits. It permits some jaw movement and clear speech but discourages the eating of solid food. Does it Work? They say it does. However, I knew a girl in school who did it and still found a way to push Goody-goody bars between her teeth. Other times she melted chocolate and drank it.

Romance / 9 Reasons Guys Love Being In A Relationship by wenson(m): 3:41pm On Jun 16, 2015 |
The truth is bachelorhood has a lot of advantages and perks which we guys enjoy. We can do what we want with nobody bearing down our necks coupled with the fact that we have a leeway to be promiscuous. However, despite these perks, no man wants to spend the whole of his life running from one girl to the other in the name of dating. When we get to the point where we start feeling the need to have a woman to lean on, including having romantic feelings, that is when we actually want to drop the bachelor hood garb and try something in the form of commitment. Almost all guys want to end up in a serious relationship at the end. We want someone that we can share our innermost happiness and things with. Someone that can offer some sort of stability as we tread through the stormy waters of life. So, what exactly brings us to this point of love in our lives? Come along with us as we bring 9 reasons why we love being in a relationship. 1. Lots of sex Being in a relationship offers the opportunity for unlimited sex which comes mostly without any form of strings attached. There is a major reduction in financial inducements as opposed to when we were jumping about. We also don’t have to go through awkward conversations where the girl asks us “what does this mean for us?” as we are already committed to you. 2. No awkward morning-afters This is one of the niceties that comes with being in a relationship. We no longer have to bother with awkward morning-afters which may involve conversations and various other things. We can choose to not make breakfast and also decide to talk about the previous night or not. Irrespective of what we do, there is no underlying feeling and no one has leave to take a cab home in anger. 3. We are appreciated At last, we have found a girl that recognises our manly and alpha abilities. Things such as hanging frames and little repairs of things that are broken around the house gives us the opportunity to show off our skills. This also reveals our handy nature and the respective tools we have to deal with the broken problems. We finally get someone to show off to who will be impressed. 4. Shared cleaning duties We don’t have to bother about how the stress of cleaning up the house as the duties are soon to be shared. We want this so much as we don’t have to go through too much to achieve that spotless clean appearance. 5. There’s way more experimentation We are tired of the one night stand and paying for sex. There’s no way in hell we can try and test out new sexual positions which we are not sure of but we crave innately. Also, it will be difficult to make a video with just a date for us to watch it later on. All these can be done and achieved in a relationship and we so much crave and want this. 6. You encourage our dreams A girl committed to us would make us think we can achieve big things even when we seriously doubt ourselves. And that is a huge bonus. 7. You challenge our ideas A lot of the time, you help us sift and fine tune our ideas. Whether it’s an extremely dull one or one that can change the world, being in a relationship affords us the opportunity to have someone close challenge our ideas for us to be better. 8. You know us better than anybody else You seem to know us better and that’s why we want to be committed. Our colleagues at work see our professional side, our friends see our funny and rowdy side. Our girlfriends see it all from the stubborn, tender, generous to the cranky side. And despite the fact you know all these about us, you don’t judge us and you love us irrespective of the flaws and rough spots we’ve got. More so, you will tell us the truth when others don’t. Whether we are wearing pants that are too tight or a geeky shirt, you’d tell us and strive to make us appear our best. 9. Privilege of checking you out It might seem pervy but we’d always check you out. That time you come out of the shower with nothing but a towel around you and you drop it to put on your bra and panties. Then slip on your your blouse and skirt. All of that is part of what we live for and why we want to be in a relationship. 1 Like |
