How Much Fatter are You in 3 Months?
By Carolin
A beer, a snickers… Does it really matter?
You’ll be surprised to see how those extra calories adds up.
That tiny little snickers or brownie that you think would not matter at all. That one adds up a full 8 pounds in just 3 months.
What do you treat yourself to:
- 1 glass of wine a day
- 1 beer a day
- 1 coke a day (0.5 l)
- 1 brownie a day
- 1 snickers a day
- 1 bag of pretzels a day (120g)
- 1 bag of potato chips a day (200g)
Check this out!
Here is a graph showing how that extra treat effects your weight.
The red graph is for a starting point of 160 pounds. This is how fat you’ll be in 3 months.
The gray graph is for a starting point of 190 pounds.
Compared to potato chips my beer a day doesn’t seem so bad. But do I really want to gain 4 pounds in 3 months? That is 16 pounds a year. Yikes!
And by the way…poor cat.

This is good info-thanks for the blog. What about a raw diet? Has anyone tried going all raw for a weight loss/fitness regimen?
William, I used practically all raw diet for almost one year. It’s wonderful. You don’t get hungry, the food tastes great and it’s really energizing. My brother still talks about my dehydrated cookies as the best he ever tasted. The cons are that it’s hard when you’re not at home; when you’re socializing or traveling. It’s also expensive, at least in the northern US. I also find that I get cold in the winter if I don’t eat any heated food.
