How to Diet Like a Sumo Wrestler

Having trouble losing weight these days? What if I were to tell you that it is because you are on the ‘Sumo Wrestler Diet?’

Hey, considering all of the bizarre methods out there it would not surprise me to find out that there was such a thing. Oh, but there is and the bad news is that you may be on it without even knowing! Let me tell you what you need to do in order to take advantage of this incredible new diet: First of all, we need to slow down your metabolism as much as possible. A slower metabolism will ensure weight gain, but also make it difficult to lose weight. To accomplish this we are going to eat only twice a day. Each meal will consist of very large portions of high glycemic foods: Potatoes, Candy, cookies, juices or soda with high sugar content, white pastas, anything with white or processed flour, white rice, or sweet snacks.

Now we need to make sure that you do not eat breakfast. Skipping breakfast is a great way to make sure that your metabolism gets up only enough steam to get you out of bed. Remember, we do not want to burn off any fat or your opponents will plow right over you.

Second, it is important that the second meal of the day is as close to bedtime as possible. This will ensure that your body will not burn the calories consumed at the end of the day. Instead it will store them as large fat deposits which will make you unstoppable in the ring!

Now in order to avoid potential lawsuits I am required to disclose the potential side effects of this diet so here we go:

• Fatigue
• Inability to focus for long periods of time
• Low blood sugar, leading to moodiness, irritability and headaches
• Intestinal bloating and gas
• Increased blood pressure and triglyceride levels which could lead to heart disease or diabetes.
• Sleepiness after large meals
• Depression

Now don’t let these bother you. Remember the objective is to make sure that your metabolism is too slow to burn up more energy than you eat. And remember, you are what you eat! Just follow this simple plan and you will be in the ring ‘throwing down’ in no time. Good luck!

Does any of this sound familiar? You see, I realize that you do not want to be overweight. I know that you deserve better. You know that you deserve better. We both know that those who love you deserve to have you happy and healthy for many years to come. However, good intentions are not always enough.

Nor is motivation or discipline.

You also need to have the right game plan. Without this you could be working very hard to change something and end up very frustrated because you are not getting the results that you are after. Well, I have good news for you: There is something you can do about your metabolism. You see, what I didn’t tell you about the sumo wrestler diet is that it causes your body to produce high levels of insulin.

High insulin levels cause your body to slow its metabolism and to store extra energy as fat. It also causes you to crave sugar and increases your appetite. This continues in a vicious cycle: higher insulin levels, more eating, more weight gain, more craving, more eating, more weight gain, more craving…on and on and on.

The good news is that your eating habits can also be used to increase your metabolism. Having a higher metabolism will increase your energy level, enhance your concentration, regulate your moods, cause you to sleep more peacefully and cut back dramatically on food cravings.

It’s a total win-win.

So now that you know this, here is the question:
