Thought I'd share this with everyone as it made me laugh in Wednesday's
Metro and is useful for anyone who wants an excuse to read more! Don't
think medical books are likely to have the same effect though.
Reading helps you diet
Wednesday, June 13, 2007
Why slave away in the gym or bother with yet another diet when you can
lose weight by getting stuck into the latest John Grisham thriller?
All you need to burn off unsightly extra calories is a gripping read,
say experts.
This is because excitement causes the body to pump adrenaline - a
fat-burning hormone - into the bloodstream, decreasing appetite and
boosting metabolism
The more thrilling or racy the book, the greater the calorie-burning
effect will be - putting thrillers and erotic romance stories firmly at
the top of the pile.
For instance, getting through Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code will burn off a
chicken tikka massala with pilau rice (885 calories).
Grisham's Runaway Jury erases an all-day breakfast sandwich, while
reading Jilly Cooper's Polo aces a Big Mac Meal, according to the
research by Borders book store.
