Recession Belt-Tightening Diet

I am overweight.

Overweight is due to consuming more calories than i burn.

To lose weight, I must consume fewer calories than i burn.

One pound of fat is 3600 calories.

in burgers, that is approximately 6 Big Macs.

The cost of the 3600 calories is approximately $18.

By consuming 3600 calories less per week, I can achieve a savings of $18 per week.

To lose 40 pounds, I may save nearly $800.

For vegetarians, the prices are higher due to the low caloric content of vegetables. Thus, the savings is greater!
