Miracle Weight Loss System

Posted on August 2, 2006 by Gene

Want to lose weight? Go to the hospital. Seriously. Any kind of serious illness will do it, judging from friends and family who’ve been there.
I can envision a whole new revenue stream opening up for hospitals: the weight loss ward, where people are admitted just because they want to live on an IV for a week and have blood drawn just five minutes after they finally fall asleep.
Still, the hospital experience and the illnesses that land people there can’t be the only way: I was in the hospital for only the equivalent of a full day… and that was three weeks ago.
Could it actually be true? All those old wives’ tales about exercise and healthy diet? Could that really explain how I’ve lost a total of 13 pounds in the last three weeks?

That’s sarcasm, by the way.
