A guy in my office is following a fitness an expensive paid-for health plan and has been doing so since the start of the year. This involves a steady increase in exercise per day, no alcohol allowed at all, and as strict no carb diet.
I have to say he looks great, has lost loads of weight and he says he feels fantastic. I am also impressed with the fact he has been able to stay off the booze despite not wanting to quit and only doing so as part of this exercise routine.
What he told me yesterday however was quite a shock.
At the end of the plan, the company selling it ask him to take a photo of himself (he submitted a before one) so they can use the difference as part of their marketing. To get the best effect however, the ask him to drink a glass of wine before taking the photo so he will dehydrate and look even thinner than otherwise.
Not only is this encouraging someone who has staid off the booze for months to drink again, it really does show alcohol is recognised to mess with your system if they feel one glass will have that noticeable an effect.
