Apologies for the blunt headline, but hey, you know me: I
don’t mince my words, I just tell it like it is!
When I found this out, I just had to share it with you. As
you’re reading the facts, I’d like you to think
about who it reminds you of.
In their training stables in Japan, sumo wrestlers are
taught to eat in a manner that leads to massive weight
gain. Here's what they're taught:
1) Skip breakfast.
2) Eat lots of mostly unhealthy food and drink lots of
alcohol.
3) Eat only two or three giant meals a day.
4) Go to bed right after eating a big, high-carb meal.
Does that list look familiar? Yep, the average overweight
person in the UK eats like a sumo wrestler whose goal is to
weigh 500 pounds!
In fact number 4, which nearly everyone I know who is
overweight does (eats a meal containing pasta or rice or
potatoes then goes to bed) is so effective at storing
body-fat that the sumos do it twice a day!
To be honest, Sumos probably get more activity than the
average 9-5 office worker too! Is it any surprise our
nation is the fattest it’s ever been!?
We can learn several lessons from this:
First, going to sleep after eating a high carbohydrate meal
seems to be VERY popular with the sumos. Maybe, just
maybe, we should avoid eating too many carbs at night if we
want to have a fairly flat tummy?
Second, if these guys, who are trying to get massively fat
and as large as possible purposefully skip breakfast, drink
booze, and eat only two or three large meals a day, maybe
it would be a good idea to do just the opposite to these
500lb monsters!!
How about this?
Start each and every day with a nutritious breakfast, lay
off the booze and junk food, and consume five or six
smaller meals per day?!? Not too hard right?? Just
general advice.
Just a thought …
If you read this article nodding your head, then it’s
fair to say you may need to make some changes –
unless, that is, you plan on donning a large nappy and
trying to push a pony-tailed man the size of a small
elephant out of a ring??
If you have friends or relatives who are behaving like this
just ask them “Are you training to be a sumo?”
- make sure you wear a gum shield whilst doing so!!
