Smiling can help you lose weight.

Posted on Thu 10/06/05 in My So Called Blog

I’ve heard that smiling burns calories.

Let’s assume that smiling burns 1 calorie per minute.
So, if a person could smile the entire night while they were sleeping, they could burn an additional 360 calories per night (based on 6 hours of sleep).

If it takes a NET -3500 calories to lose 1 pound, then it would take roughly 10 nights to burn one pound. That’s 3 pounds per month.

So go ahead and cancel your gym membership and throw out your jogging shoes. Who needs them?

Figure out how to smile throughout the night, and you’ll be looking anorexic in no time.

I am a genius.


Something to add?
