Everyday Systems

This blogger is trying a new diet each week for a year. His diet reviews are hilarious. He even made up his own - The Nuclear Winter Diet (all canned food). No S is one of the few he really liked.

That was so flippin' hilarious!!! Thank you for posting.

That was good. I love its "the truth hurts" message.

The No S rules are designed to get over weight people to eat like a normal people and take responsibility for their weigh. Food is not responsible for you being fat, you are responsible for being fat (Reinhard and Ben you are responsible for (being?) unempathetic bawbags).

I think this is hilarious. And I'm enjoying wondering if "bawbag" is a real word.

Oh my. I just figured it out. What a dirty mouthed boy our blogger is.

That was hilarious! I remember having a similar reaction when I read the website for the first time. Hearing the unvarnished truth was a little disconcerting. Of course, I was no where near as clever expressing that fact as this guy is. Thanks for posting!

Oh, that's great! Thank you!

Loved the description of the authors as "cheeky truth telling misfits." (Profanity-removed version, lol!)

Just too funny.

I've been around NoS for too long, I guess: I often forget how novel it seems to people, when they first encounter it! Funny stuff, though perhaps a bit unpolished for my tastes.

On the subject of truth-telling, I recall a new member here posting, long ago, something like the following: She likened being overweight to finding that your house was flooding. Most diet plans/gurus were trying to give her detailed information about hydrodynamics, telling her to be concerned with the temperature of the water or the timing of when it surged into the house ... whereas NoS was the first time she'd been told "Turn off the water, fool."

Sometimes a little basic truth goes a long way!

Funny! A poster here (deadweight, I think) did something similar a few years ago.

He's pretty funny, too.

That is funny. But hey, I'm empathetic!

Speaking of reviewers, I've just introduced my six year old to "daddy's book" and she's outraged. She counter-proposed "The Fairy Diet" which we're going to start writing immediately and I'm sure will be a best seller. The details are a little uncertain, except for that it's going to involve whipped cream and magic.

I'm ready to try out that one.
Whipped cream and magic....
