If this was possible it would be the new American dream. Heck, it would be the European dream, too. Obesity is becoming a greater problem and even though there are thousands "proven" diets, magnificent inventions that you can use even in your home, people are still too lazy to do something about it.
Everyone is so desperate to find the cure for fatness and the miraculous way for losing weight with simple steps. People have to realise it won't happen. You will continue to be fat as long as long as you stay on your bum the whole day.
Just to make my point of view more reasonable why don't we take a look at two very big diseases very common in the modern western world: bulimia and anorexia. This is what the great George Carlin has to say:
You really can't call it a disease. It's not a virus or some bacteria, it's not contagious. It's all in the head of very narcissistic person, who only think how he/she looks in other people's eyes. "But some people are doing it, because society made them". Sure... society told you to be anorexic and to puke all of your food.
