PT - Afghani Style

I think I am going to write a get-slim-quick book when I get back, based on my experiences here in Afghanistan. There are a number of advantages to these types of books. 1 - You need zero qualification, knowledge, or training to write the book. 2 - Your plan doesn't even really have to work, it just has to sound good. 3 - People are obsessed with this type of thing, so you're bound to make money.

My book will feature the Afghanistan Diet. I'm still working on the concept, but here are some of the pointers:
  • Work 16 hours a day - it limits over eating because you hardly have time to eat, let alone over eat.
  • PT for at least an hour a day, every day. You must PT in a gym that has minimal ventilation and where the ambient temperature is no less than 100*F inside. Bonus - part of that hour is spent inside the smaller cardio room attached to the gym, where it is easily 15* warmer and "humidity" (translation - the moisture content of the air based solely on sweat) is at least 80%.
  • Wear boots everywhere you go - they're like ankle weights that you don't even know you're wearing!
  • Walk everywhere - cars are for people more important than you, and who cares if the meeting you have is a mile away - get moving!
  • At least once a week, put on 75lbs of gear and walk around outside for a while.
  • Drink at least 6 liters of water a day. It'll flush out your system of all the bad stuff, and it'll keep you full so you're not so hungry. Bonus - if it's hot and dry out, you hardly have to urinate!
  • Give up all forms of booze, totally and completely... this part may be hard if it's around you, so lock yourself away someplace where it's not allowed!
That's it for now. Thus far, the Afghan Diet has helped me lose 23lbs! Oorah being healthy!
