    Actually, I know a few more tricks. Most aren't too healthy though.

    Trans fats. Lots of 'em.

    Only eat one meal a day, make it huge, and make it very late in the day, as close to before bed as you can. It sort of tricks your body into thinking it's starving for most of the day so it starts storing fat to make up for the food your not putting into it. Your body may adapt to the routine fairly quickly though, and it varies in effectiveness from person to person.

    When you eat dinner, don't put away the food after you get your portion, leave it out so it's easy to get seconds.

    Get larger plates and fill them when you do eat, it might help trick your subconscious into thinking that you have to empty your plate, thereby eating even after your full

    Don't grill your food, grilling is fairly healthy, cook in oil.

    Anything Fried was probably cooked in oil that contains trans fats.

    That's all I can think of at the moment. If all else fails there's always the super size me diet.

    Or you could eat a large breakfast. That whole "eating breakfast jump starts your metabolism so you lose weight" thing is bull. I know this contradicts the eat late in the day thing, you just sorta gotta figure out what works for you. Maybe try eating a huge breakfast and then another huge meal right before bed.

    Oh and I read someplace that sleeping on your stomach aids digestion, so don't do that I guess.

    Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to seeing what the Dooms Day Killer is up to on Dexter.


    EDIT: Take everything anyone says on the topic of personal health and hygiene with a grain of salt though, even me. I can't think of an area of interest more mired in bullshit and misinformation. One year dusching is the best thing a lady can do for herself the next it's extremely unhealthy, one year hand sanitizers are a must the next they are killing too much bacteria. Hell it wasn't too long ago when everyone thought that Flax-seed was a miracle food so people went out and bought it by the pound and well just google flax seed overdose, the side effects are disgusting. No one is immune to the misinformation, even some of the stuff I wrote might be both untrue and extremely bad for you.

    Just... be careful. Health advice can be very very wrong sometimes and the implications in some instances are... bad. To put it gently.


    DOUBLE EDIT: You may actually have a slow metabolism. Recent studies are flipping the idea that skinny = fast metabolism on its head. I'm sure more studies will come out soon disproving those studies if they haven't already. Again, be careful. People in general don't know what the fuck their talking about in this area, even the people who do the studies.
