Here’s a way to burn calories you might not have thought of

If you think you’ve tried EVERYTHING to lose weight…

Comedian Andrés du Bouchet recently posted this comment on twitter: “Well, complaining about being fat has not helped me lose ANY weight at all. And I’ve been complaining for 3 years! Stupid diet.”

My first thought was: Don’t stop complaining, Andrés. You may be burning off at least a FEW calories.

In fact, there’s a little truth in that.

Talking actually burns between 40 and 60 calories per hour, depending on your age. (If you’re younger, you burn more.)

But if your talking involves COMPLAINING for an hour, you might burn off twice that amount if you include emphatic gestures — even more if you do your complaining while pacing like a mad man.

Don’t expect miracles. But at least it’s something.
