Fifty ways to lose your love handles . . .
There must be 50 ways to lose your love handles
Run on the beach, not in your sandals
Now I really must confess this tale that I convey
May be hard to swallow,
A little difficult to digest
But once we begin this journey of healing
There will be no resting on your laurels
First things first, my friend
You must give up that sugar that you crave,
Tout suite
Believe me when I tell you
That sweet, toxic stuff will lead you and your liver
To an early grave
And it will not be discreet
For that extra sugar that we all ingest
Will surely be stored as fatty liver
And in your fat cells as triglycerides
Quite easily this will lead to no end of health trouble
Obesity, pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus
And from these endless problems you can run
But you can't hide
The next thing on our agenda
Is one big salad everyday
Now you may think it bland and boring
But there is no other way
And once again I tell you
You must stop thinking so negatively
Add a delightful cornucopia
Of organic fruits and veggies
Perhaps a tasty vinaigrette
Et voila, you will have at your hands
Something quite exquisitively
Alas, we are not quite done just yet
We’re going to ensure you’re getting all your vitamins A-B-C
And so on
For maximum mitochondrial production and efficiency
Recommend all the nutritional supplementation you might need
From a quality source you can trust.
Healthy tummy enzymes are a must.
That bad bacteria in your gut, might be making you
A sugar slut. What?
Then we get that body moving and grooving
At least 4 days a week
One half hour after first perspiration
Keeps your cardiovascular from becoming
Sick and weak
Strong and sleek
Slowly we transform your new physique
Are you a runner, a swimmer, a lover or a sinner?
Stay with me now.
With the right frame of mind this can all be quite fun
But no more drive-thru muffins on the run
Now 50 ways may be an exaggeration, Jim
But the least that you can do is get yourself to the health club
Or have a little swim
Not a morning person?
Well now you are Mr. Sleepy Eyes
From here on out it's
Early to bed and earlier to rise
In this crazy thing called Life
Only the strong survive
Ok, cheer up my new friend
Things are not as bleak as they appear
If you find you are doing well in this endeavor
You may earn yourself something quite rare
A welcome indulgence, something you have missed
Never so terribly
So chin up and trust in life's perfection
Let's do this together
And feel the Zen . . .
