The India Diet
a new you!
Writing partner and I were talking the other day about a friend's dad who went to India weighing 250-300 lbs (he's 5'10") and coming back a hundred pounds lighter. I call this the India Diet.
He lost the weight because he got sick and developed severe dysentery. Raise your hands if you've ever gotten that. While I think this holds true for many developing countries whose water holds a wide variety of bacteria and other germs that can kill you dead, we're calling it the India Diet.
I swear, every time someone goes to the subcontinent, they don't come back quite the same. Por ejemplo, I got worms. They were in my body for TWO freakin YEARS! Until, one of them decided to go exploring and went for a little visit to the outside world. But, I'll save that story for another time boys and girls.
Why deprive yourself on fad diets like Atkins, the Zone diet, the South Beach diet, the 3-hour diet etc. when all you have to do is buy a round-trip ticket to India! You can eat whatever you want! That is, when you're not in the loo cramping over in agony...
Any horrible travel stories along this line anyone?
