Get instant hard muscles. Get results in 10 days. Eliminate the flab. Get the six packs. Get it in steel hard form. No effort necessary. Get results without even trying. Just drink / eat this.
The first thought to my mind on reading such a pamphlet – what do I do with all those muscles? What is the purpose of all those muscles? I’m not required to lift a ton of bricks. They have machines for them now. The muscles I build up would most likely be useless in carrying the crates of coke bottles anyway. So why have them?
Of course, I might just be jealous of having one pack instead of six. I might just be jealous of not getting clothes to look good on me (by Hollywood standards anyway!). But with all the diet plans out there, dishing out scare tactics on what to eat and what not to eat, I would find it quite confusing to keep up.
I would like to suggest a hopefully easier way to remember:
- Everything in moderation, and the body will take care of itself.
I find it difficult to justify to myself to create a set of purposeless muscles. I also find it quite difficult to justify staying away from unhealthy food – they normally taste better.. much better! So as long as i eat the healthy options as much as the unhealthy ones, the body should be able to balance itself out. It’s certainly a much easier formula than keeping tabs with how much calories I’ve taken today and how much I have burnt.
Having said that, is it easier to keep tabs on the healthy vs unhealthy food? The body will tell you, if you listen to it closely enough. 
If you think this is worth sharing, do share it with your friends. Thank you for reading.

immortal words from American Beauty:
“I just want to look good naked”
Nothing wrong with having a washboard tummy.
I think the flavour-of-the-day is low carb and low sugar diet, so it’s pretty much high proten and non trans fat!
But at the moment, I don’t really watch my diet, hence the shape of my body, or the lack of! But maybe one day, I might be tempted to get that washboard tummy!
Here, one of my teachers at TCM College directed me to this site the other day. its long, its wordy, but it addresses what you’ve talked about in detail: http://www.chineseherbacademy.org/articles/nourishlife.shtml
Thanks LGS for the link to the (long!) article. It certainly gives a different perspective on diet, which is actually a subset of a whole way of life, the TCM way!
My pleasure. The funny thing about a lifestyle according to TCM principles is that the more you do it the more you look at the rest of civilization and think “What is wrong with these people?!?!?!?”
Thanks for reminding me that there is a point at which additional muscle strength provides no practical benefit beyond an ego boost.
