Rats, missed the edit window!

Oh well.

It ain’t about the calorie, Valerie  
It’s all about the protein, Dean  
Just cut out the carbs, Barb  
Let Taubes set you free.  
Chow down on the fat, Matt  
And double the cheese, Louise,  
It’s a 17-page thread, Fred  
that’ll blow out your knees.

Ice cream, donuts, spare tires, beer guts  
Cheese doritos, double fries, wanna SuperSize?

Atkins, Schmatkins, some fads say eat Catkins  
Eat less, move more, get your fat ass out the door

We better start a diet  
We avoid the scales  
Cos we look like whales  
We better start a diet  
Cos the fat we’re packing  
Came from constant snacking

Consider a carrot, Garrett,  
Think cruciferous, Gus,  
Perhaps lose a leg, Peg,  
That’s a pound or two.

Stay away from what’s fried, Clyde,  
There is really no downside!  
Take the time to chew, Pru,  
For a new, smaller, you.

But stay off the drugs, Tugs

…You just cut out the snacks, Jack  
Try the F-Plan, Stan  
Swap the dairy for soy, Roy  
Just listen to me

Bin the cream puffs, Gus  
You don’t need to digest much  
Just lay off the ghee, Lee  
And get yourself free  
_Edit: I’m now itching to start a “Fifty Ways to Lube Your Rubber” thread… must be the ghee reference 🙂_

Bonus points for doper names? I’ll play.

You just need to eat less, Wes  
Don’t listen to Stoid, Lloyd  
Take a run round the track, Jack  
And get yourself thin…

You’re a psycho.

\*Drink some more caffeine, Dean  
Like a big cuppa coffee, Geoffrey  
Just chug a Red Bull, Ted  
And tweak yourself free

Start smokin’ cigarettes, Betz  
You’re gonna lose weight yet  
Eat only styrofoam, Jerome  
And getcherself free…\*
