Why Weight

How To Get Fat - The Sumo Diet Part 2

By Bryan Miller

This is a continuation of my satirical diet plan called "The Sumo Diet". Dedicated to help people see the "cons" of certain prevalent eating habits that I've seen pop up in the culture today.

Please, only if you are willing to gain massive amounts of fat, do not follow these "tips".

They are merely a sarcastic approach to saying "do not do these things or you will get fat fast".

But let us continue with the tips, shall we?

4. Do Not Exercise.

A great way to gain weight is to do no physical activity, or very little of it. The main way your body burns calories is by using your fat stores, and carbohydrates in your diet as energy for daily tasks such as walking, breathing, and thinking.

Actually enhancing these main energy burners will make your body more prone to burn calories.

Living cells such as muscle cells, have organelles (small organs) in them called "mitochondria" that help with the conversion of eaten fats and carbs into energy.

The more living cells (such as muscle cells) you have in your body, the more calories you will burn. If you are looking to gain massive amounts of fat, it is recommended that you do no strength training, or exercising that would use, or build up these cells.

5. Drink Sodas.

Carbonated drinks are a great way to retain water, because they have dehydrating properties. This, coupled with the sweeteners in sweetened sodas, make them a great candidate for those wishing to gain fat.

Sodas, along with many other "drinks" are filled with empty calories that have no nutritional value whatsoever. This means all your body is doing is storing energy as fat, and getting nothing in return.

6. Misc.

Lastly, I'll end off with a few basic "tips" that most people fail to see. These miscellaneous tips are general fat gaining "how to's" that the majority of human beings do anyway.

- Eat unknowingly. Eating just for the sake of eating is a great way to gain weight. Since most people eat in front of the TV, or doing other activities, the actual consumption of energy isn't even a thought.

- Eating hydrogenated oils. Margarines are a great way to pack on the fat around your heart.

Since most of these oils are attached to a loose hydrogen atom they act more like free radicals in the body than an actual food.

- Fried foods and junk foods. These are a great way to pack on the body fat. Unless the food is fried in heart-healthy oils, the fried breads and meats found at most fast foods restaurants are a great, cheap method to gaining unending amounts of body weight.

- Do not eat variety. Since variety in your diet may fill your plate with heart, and health friendly foods, and lessen the fatty foods, eating variety is a terrible way to gain weight. Leafy greens, and color filled portions may lead to a healthy diet.

I hope you enjoyed my sarcastic approach to weight loss. If you were to go exactly opposite of each "tip" you would be able to lose a significant amount of weight. And this was not to be taken seriously, merely as an approach to show that modern day eating habits are not conducive to a smaller waist line.
