Self-Help Books Suck
So, here we have a new book out on the market. Yippy.
Some woman, somewhere created this book called the Ultimate Sex Diet book. And, when you hear that, you think "okay, I'm all for that", but it's not what it's cracked up to be in my opinion. No, I haven't read it, but the review of it sounds corny.
The idea is that you substitute food cravings for your partner.
She says that on her way home from work, she often picks up something fatty to eat, but with the diet, she doesn't do that because she heads home to get busy instead.
Okay, first of all, most people would pick up the McCr*ppy burger and eat it on the way home to getting laid. She must either not have all her apples in a basket or she thinks her readers will buy anything.
For a trainer's perspective, Jon Kaplan speaks about the diet, saying,
"as a trainer, I think sex is great exercise. It's very, very good for you. Vigorous sex is even better because you can get your heart rate up and burn some serious pounds".
But before you go out and buy the book because his testimony is so compelling, I have to say that I doubt he graduated from the Harvard fitness trainer academy. I wonder what his commission might be for approving the book, or was the endorsement merely for name recognition???
The woman adds, "I think you have to do everything in moderation. You've got to watch what you eat, too".
Aw, spoiled sport.
We all want to have our cake and "butter our muffins", too.
So there you have it, another mindless self-help book hits the market stating what we already know: substituting exercise for food is good for you and sex is enjoyable.
I think I'll save my few dollars and put it towards a cheeseburger, or maybe some kind of toy *wink wink* *nudge nudge* *jolly good* ;-)
Hmmm... I wonder when Oprah's going to promote this slendiferous read in her book of the month club, or has she already?

This woman was on a recent episode of Oprah. She had her husband with her and he looked embarrassed the entire time his wife was speaking to Oprah. I don't think Oprah thought much of this diet; she is after all an expert on the subject.

I can personally confess to being a recent follower. But that's all (for decency's sake). :)

I thought the whole point of eating on the way home was to consume energy reserves for the getting laid part.

Not everyone has as much common sense as you do Sam. Make it a bacon double cheeseburger and I'm with you on this one.
