This is a copy paste of a recent facebook update, but I think it is strongly related to the post: Here is a diet plan that worked for me for 5 kilos so far (in about 15 days): Commit to lose 6 kilos in 1,5 months. Agree with a friend (who will do the same for as many kilos as she'd like) that if you don't reach thos 6 by the end of two months, you'll give 300 bucks to the Against Malaria Foundation, saving the lives of 1-3 children. This is the motivational part. Now, continue by 1) weight yourself 3 times a day 2)eat in teacups, not plates, one at a time. 3)Exercise average 2hours a day 4)no high glicemic intake 5)Don't eat after 21:00 6)Ignore all that once a week. People say that dieting is simple. No, it is ridiculously, unimaginably, unbearably complicated. It is fucking hard! And by the way, I'm very hungry at the moment! I also let myself one indulgence (Chai Latte). If I were a chocolate person, for intance, chocolate would be my choice. As a final provision, I'll keep going until I'm two kilos below target weight, so that if motivation or metabolism fluctuate over the course of next month, I won't go above it!

Source? The most recent estimate I've seen was that saving a life costs around $2000.
