Wow it says that 200 million people in the US are overweight. There are only 300 million people living there so that's a huge percentage. Maybe the recession will hit Americans where it hurts the most ... their stomachs.
I have lost 5 pounds in one week on my Pot Noodle diet (the Bombay Bad Boy one). It makes me feel so sick that I can't eat anything for the rest of the day. Tastes yummy though and works a charm! On Saturday I will end the stupidity and eat correctly again.
