I’ve tried everything to lose this weight

What am I supposed to do?

I’ve eaten tons of bananas and thought that was great!

But the fat’s still stuck like glue.

 

Dr. Atkins method worked for a while,

But learnt it’s not good for my heart

It made my breath smell deeply vile

And all I did was fart.

 

The cabbage soup was nauseous

A bowlful with every meal

I felt like a vegetable in the end

As the carrots went on overkill.

 

The Cambridge one was daunting;

All good things in a drink

All that dosh to lose some flab

Ended up down the sink!

 

The cereal twice a day

Rice Krispies or special K,

Porridge that I detest the most

And dreaming of some cheese on toast.

 

And now I’ve seen a low GI~

Another diet that’s caught my eye!

And hope to rid the weight stuck to my thighs

But will it really work, I sigh?

 

I think I’ll stick to seafood

And the benefits of Omega three

It’s supposed to enhance the brain cells

(Still waiting for it to work on me…….)
