Lose Weight For The Kids In Africa

Growing up, my mother always told my brothers not to waste their food because there were children starving in Africa. She never had to tell me not to waste my food because I never left any on my plate. I was what you could call a “human garbage disposal.”

I am sure growing up, your mother gave you the same “don’t waste food guilt trip.” Well, I would like to challenge our mothers’ logic.

Save the Children

If you really want to help the starving children in third world countries, you should not force yourself to clean your plate. You should instead force yourself to buy less food.

There is a limited amount of food in the world. Every extra serving of food you buy takes a serving out of the stomach of some poor kid in India. The more food you buy, the bigger you get, and the smaller a starving child in China gets.

Shame on you!!!

Save the World

The next time you drive up to McDonald’s, I want you to think about the fact that every Big Mac you buy is taking a Big Mac away from a needy child. Then I want you to hang your head in shame and drive away. Don’t crash your car though. By driving away and not buying anything, you will:

• Help make the world a better place,
• Feel better about yourself,
• Save some money, and
• Lose weight.

All at the same time.

Philanthropy is such a beautiful thing.

Frugal Weight Loss

Photo by Infrogmation

The recession has hit everyone hard. Both the rich and the poor are being adversely affected by the slow economy. We are all looking for ways to save a little and live well for less.

Weight loss is one area that Americans typically spend large sums of money on. We spend billions of dollars a year on:

• Weight Loss Programs
• Fad Diets
• Diet Books
• Diet Foods
• Diet Pills and Supplements
• Gyms and Health Clubs
• Exercise Equipment and DVDs, etc.

Even with all of this money being spent, two out of every three American adults and one out of every three American children are overweight. So, most of this money is being wasted.

Weight loss does not have to be expensive. Living a “healthy” lifestyle can actually be cheaper than living the “unhealthy” lifestyle you are currently living. I learned this as a “broke” 340 pound medical intern working in a hospital in Brooklyn, New York.

As an intern, I had no money, but I knew I had to lose weight to save my life and become a better role model for my patients. After studying all of the current medical literature and research on weight loss, I developed a practical and inexpensive system to lose weight and keep it off. Since then, I have lost over 130 pounds and countless others have had success with my program.

My weight loss success has lead to me being featured in newspapers, online publications, blogs, and CNN.

Lose Weight So People Stop Calling You Big Boy

The Complete List Of Unconventional Reasons To Lose Weight

Lose Weight So People Stop Calling You Big Boy

Growing up I had many nicknames:

• Kevin – Some of my family members called me this because they couldn’t pronounce Kalvin really well
• K.C. – Some friends called me this because of my initials (Kalvin Chinyere)
• Big Apple – My JV High School football coach in Miami named me this because I moved to Miami from New York
• Round Boy – Some mean kids called me this in middle school because I was literally round. I was as wide as I was tall.
• Gordo – A Puerto Rican deli owner in New York would always call me this. It means fat in Spanish. He probably did not think I knew what it meant.
  

However, the nickname I hated the most “Big Boy”. Family members, friends, and complete strangers always referred to me as Big Boy. I hated this nickname the most because:

• It was the nickname most often used and
• It was the least creative nickname.
  

Dr. Kal

People called me Big Boy throughout my entire childhood. Then, I became an adult. So, they stopped referring to me as Big Boy and started calling me “Big Man”. “Big Man” was equally as annoying and creative as “Big Boy.”

The nickname “Big Man” stuck with me until I lost over 130 pounds. Now people refer to me as Dr. Kal. I like that nickname.

• If you are a male, lose weight so that people stop calling you “Big Boy”. Force them to be more creative.
• If you are a female and someone calls you “Big Boy”, slap them, lose weight and consider growing your hair.

Lose Weight So You Can Drive A Prius

Lose Weight So You Can Drive A Prius

In this post I told you that you should lose weight to save money on gas. However, you can also save money on gas by purchasing an electric car or a hybrid vehicle. The best selling hybrid car in America is the Toyota Prius.

Benefits Of A Toyota Prius

The Prius gets 50 miles per gallon of gasoline. So, it is a great way to save a few bucks on gas, especially as we move toward the high summer gas prices. However, the benefits of a Prius do not simply end with saving money on gas.

If you buy a Prius, you:

• Will decrease your carbon foot print: Less gas means less carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
• Could receive tax benefits: You can receive a tax credit when you purchase certain hybrid vehicles.
• Can look down on others: As a hybrid owner, you can look down on those of us still driving “gas guzzlers”.
• Can improve national security: Less gas means less U.S. dependency on foreign oil.
• Can get to work faster: In some states, hybrid drivers can use the H.O.V. lane even if they are driving alone.
  

But You Are Obese

I am sure you are ready to go out to the Toyota dealership and pick up your Prius. But wait a second. You cannot get a Prius if you are obese. No, that is not a law or a Toyota policy. It just makes sense.

Priuses are very small cars. If you are obese:

• You will look silly standing next to a car that is smaller than you.
• You will not fit into one comfortably.
• Even if you squeeze yourself in, you will not be able to be able to squeeze in a passenger.
  

Priuses are great fuel-efficient cars. Lose weight so that you can drive one.

Lose Weight So That Your Friends Don’t Fall Into The Grand Canyon

Lose Weight So That Your Friends Don’t Fall Into The Grand Canyon

I was reading a story in the paper yesterday about a man, named John Smith, who fell of the edge of the Grand Canyon. The poor guy fell off while attempting to take a picture of two friends.

Miracle

Miraculously, Smith survived. As he was falling to his apparent death, he grabbed a branch sticking out of the side of the canyon. As he clung to the branch with one hand, he used the other hand to get a Red Bull out of the fanny-pack around his waist. He drank the Red Bull and it gave him the energy and “wings” necessary to climb up the side of the canyon. Thank goodness for energy drinks.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Why was a grown man wearing a “fanny-pack”? Well, I’m not exactly sure, but that is not the point of this story.

Obesity

In the article, they showed a picture of Smith and his friends. After seeing the picture of his friends, I immediately knew what must have happened. Smith’s two friends were obese. His obese friends must have asked him to take a picture of them. Initially, he couldn’t fit the two of them into the picture. So, he kept backing up and backing up. And, it is while backing up that Smith fell into the Grand Canyon.

Lose Weight

Smith’s fanny-pack saved the day, but his fall could have been avoided if his friends were not obese. Let this be a lesson to all of you. Lose weight so that your friends don’t fall into the Grand Canyon, because your friends may not be lucky enough to have an energy drink with them.

Lose Weight So People Stop Saying You Look Like Celebrities

The Complete List Of Unconventional Reasons To Lose Weight

Lose Weight So People Stop Saying You Look Like Celebrities

When I weighted over 330 pounds, people would often tell me that I looked like various celebrities. These celebrities were always overweight or obese. I am assuming they thought I should be flattered to look like someone famous. I was not.

Ruben Studdard

The celebrity I was compared to the most was Ruben Studdard. He had just won the American Idol Competition, and everyone was in-love with him. I like Ruben, but I don’t think I look anything like him. The only similarities between Ruben and I were that we were both African-American and obese. I also think that we both have beautiful voices, but my friends seem to disagree.

James Gandolfini

The celebrity comparisons did not stop with Ruben Studdard. One misguided person actually told me that I looked like James Gandolfini. Gandolfini is a great actor and I loved him as Tony Soprano, but I am 100% sure that I don’t look anything like him.

James Gandolfini:

• Is bald
• Is much older than me
• Has facial hair
• Is WHITE!!!
  

The only similarity between the two of was that we were both obese.

Misconceptions

People seem to think that all overweight people look alike. Maybe it is the chubby cheeks or the big bellies. I’m not sure. However, since I lost the weight, no one has mistaken me for any celebrities. I’m waiting for someone to say that I remind them of Denzel Washington or Brad Pitt. I don’t look like either one of them, but I would not mind that mistake as much.

The moral of this story is that you should lose weight so people will stop saying you look like celebrities.
