Atkins Diet is No Answer for Lack of Self Discipline

Everybody from McDonalds to Subway seems to be jumping on the bandwagon for this Atkins diet. Atkins may be a good diet, but for most fatasses out there it will not be the answer to getting slim as opposed to getting off your fat ass and doing a little exercise. A sucessful mathmatical equation to getting slim is: “daily caloric intake < amount of calories burnt off by daily activity = no more fat ass!" To test my theory I decided to try my own diet (not recommended for others to try). My problem is I love Mt Dew. Each can of Mt Dew contains 170 calories. I typically drink about 6 cans a day, this is about 1020 calories. Next I eat 2 meals a day roughly 1000 calories each. This means I'm taking in 3020 calories a day. Since I work a job that allows me to sit on my ass everyday. This means I have to exercise, a lot! Instead of exercising a lot I decided to cut down on my daily caloric intake. I went out and bought a bunch of Banquet tv dinners. Each one roughtly contains 470 calories. I would eat 3 a day and drink 1 can of Mt Dew. Now do the math with me, 470 x 3 = 1410 + 170 = 1580. Since this is less than a 2000 calorie a day diet. If I exercise 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time I will slowly, but surely be burning off more calories than I'm taking in. This means no more fatass! This does not mean I have to run out and buy Atkins diet crap for big $$, but instead I bought 3 tv dinners for 2 weeks at $1.00 a piece. This is about $42.00 + tax. Granted during my diet I did not get much nutritional value out of these tv dinners, so to suppliment this I took multi-vitimins. So we can add on $7.00 for the vitimins. Roughly $50.00 for a 2 week diet that I burned 5lbs a week on. Once again, I’m not saying the Atkins diet does not work. I’m just saying that if you watch what you eat and get off your fat ass, you don”t need to spend retarded amounts of money for a special diet. All you have to do is have enough self discipline to go through with it. Perhaps the problem why Americans tend to be fat asses isn’t because of McDonalds super smart marketing, but instead because people just don’t have enough self discipline. Once again this is just food for thought, I tried it and it worked for me because I have the self discipline to go through with it. Who is to say something like this wouldn’t work for you?
