Dear new recruits,
sometimes, standing in front of the mirror or trying to put on some old clothes, one will get the idea of being too fat.
Not only will those thoughts make you frustrated and unhappy, but they might also lead to you think you have to loose some weight.
Follow this sheet to test if you really need to loose weight, and to finding out how many calories per day you use.
❒Dieting for Atlanteans❒
❒Am I too fat??❒
Would a Wraith die from a fatty heart after trying to suck you dry?
Have you ever managed to beat Ronon during training by simply rolling on him?
Do villagers worship you, thinking you are a fertility god or goddess?
Is your gravity high enough to keep other people in your orbit?
Do you always have a puddle jumper for yourself?
Have the Wraith ever tried to use a tractor beam on you and failed because of your mass?
Unless you answered one of those questions with 'yes', please relax. There's no need for you to go on a diet.
❒Basic eating rules:❒
If you don't know how many calories your food has, compare it to something similar looking (chocolate - brown rice, potato chips – bananas...)
As for alien ingredients, they have no calories at all due to the fact they come though outer space, which is very cold – and calories is an heat unit
If the food doesn't taste good, it does have negative calories, for you have to force yourself to eat it
Coffee is a stimulant – so anything you eat with coffee will immediately be burnt because your body has a higher consumption rate
Weighting 500 kilo or more will result in you having a layer of fat thick enough make you bullet proof
Just the thought of working out with Ronon is so scary you burn half of your daily calories
