Master List of Unconventional Benefits of Weight Loss

Posted Jun 22 2008 12:01pm

This post was inspired by Dr. Kal’s previous postDecrease your Likelihood of Being Hit by a Meteorwhich I found through The Man Page’sThe Manival 8th Edition.  I thought it might be entertaining to ‘poke’ some fun at the seriousness of weight loss.

We all know at least one or many of the ‘”Conventional” benefits of weight loss:

  • increased energy & stamina
  • lower blood pressure
  • increase metabolism
  • reduce risk factors of heart disease, diabetes,etc

We are all aware of the numerous negative effects of obesity and living an unhealthy lifestyle have on the human body. The list is endless.

I think it’s safe to say that if you’ve done your homework, watched the news, read the newspaper, or have spent a blink of an eye’s amount of time on the internet, you’d come to the conclusion that weight loss is nothing but a BENEFIT.

So what aboutUnconventionalBenefits?

:not conventional:not bound by or in accordance with convention:being out of the ordinary

The list was already started on the original post. Everything from avoiding that auspicious meteor, saving money on water, to being able to see your feet without bending over.

What are your thoughts on some unconventional benefits of weight loss? What benefits have you discovered along the path of becoming thatLean, Mean, Fighting Machine.

Without further ado, I would like to add the following:
