Undiscovered diet ideas

1. Crank up the air conditioner. 60% of the calories you burn in a day are spent on things like maintaining your body temperature and breathing. The colder you are, the more calories you have to burn to keep warm. You could even go so far as keep ice packs on your person at all times.

2. Break the rules. Everyone knows that when you're doing something wrong your heart races. And getting that heart rate up is essential for burning calories. Break the speed limit, spy on your neighbors, say something inappropriate, use the men’s restroom, tell a lie and try to keep it going, cheat in a poker game. The more you break the more you burn!

3. Reverse psychology. Feed the people around you with lots of candy and goodies. The fatter they are, the skinnier you’ll feel. Buy bigger sized clothes (and cut out the tags of course). The baggier they are, the smaller you feel.

This one has already been discovered, but it's worth a mention.

Sleeping pills. The more you sleep the less tempted you are to snack. And if you can take one as soon as you get home from work, you might be able to sleep through dinner every night!
