Resolution Week Reverse Psychology

Every year we try to stick with our NY resolutions, and 80% of us fail by Valentines Day. This year we flip the script.

Over the next week, I’ll give you the Top Ten Tips to totally mess up your diet. If 80% of us try to do this, and FAIL, we’ll finally win!!

(HINT: if you want to skip the whole “reverse psychology” approach, just see what the bullets tell you to do, and do the opposite.)

1. Follow the fad. Be on the lookout for the newest of all the new diets – the more esoteric and absurd the better.  Think cabbage soup, peanut butter and fat-be-gone rings.  Statistically speaking, these have failed so often that sooner or later they must finally work. This is your year! 

2. Master speed eating. When you sign up for your new diet, you want to speed-eat so your food spends more time in your gullet than in your mouth.  Otherwise, you’ll taste your low-whatever, cardboard-flavored food product.  Remember, your goal is to do anything but enjoy your food, so be sure to gobble it down in 10 minutes or less.  

Good luck, and best wishes on a miserable failure to adhere to these tips.  

Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year!!
