Sadly, it's not entirely accurate, because losing ten pounds in two minutes is pretty much impossible (unless you're willing to slice off a body part).
What I CAN teach you is how to HIDE some of your excess weight.
Wearing certain types of clothing can do an excellent job of hiding a few extra pounds, especially around the midsection.
-------------
Here are a few tips that will help you hide your flab:
- Don't be fooled into thinking that "looser is better". Even for overweight men, having clothes that fit properly is important. If you have baggy clothes, it can actually further accentuate your extra weight. Of course, clothes that are too tight will also be unflattering.
- Avoid clothes with horizontal or diagonal stripes. These make you look wider. The only stripes that work for overweight men are vertical pinstripes.
- Similarly, clothes with big emblems can also make you look bigger. Go for items with small patterns or logos.
- Try going "monochromatic" with your clothes. Wear a similar colored pants and shirt combination with a different colored sweater, blazer, or jacket over top.
- Dark colors are usually more flattering for overweight men. Black and dark blue tend to work particularly well.
- Long-sleeve shirts will make you look more proportional. T-shirts and short-sleeved shirts can draw attention to your midsection.
----------
Next time you're heading out for an important social occasion (a first date, perhaps?) try using some of these strategies... I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much slimmer they can actually make you look.

Improve Your Sex Life By Lowering Your Blood Pressure
By Frank Mangano
Co-Author, "Low Pressure Sex"
Anyone with a history of high blood pressure in their family knows
what devastation it can wreak. It carries with it a mishmash of
health risks, many of them serious, like tripling the risk of dying
from a heart attack, quadrupling the risk of dying from a stroke,
doubling the risk of congestive heart failure and tripling the risk
of developing kidney disease.
But if our very lives weren't enough for high blood pressure to be
in the top five of our "Health Issues to Be Concerned About" lists,
then how about the lives of our marriages and relationships?
High blood pressure has a significant impact on a couple's sexlife.
Sex is a crucial part of any relationship, and when a loving
couple is not having it at least on a semi-regular basis, more
often than not, the relationship sours faster than curdled milk.
The reason high blood pressure affects the average sexlife all
boils down to blood flow. Due to the narrowing of the arteries that
high blood pressure creates, it diminishes a man's ability to have
an.erection -- never mind maintain one -- as there's less blood
flowing to the penis.
To rectify this situation, the average guy heads to his doctor,
reluctantly tells him or her about his issues "down there," and the
doctor prescribes him with some form of hypertension med -- usually
an alpha or beta-blocker.
Problem solved, right? Not exactly.
While your blood pressure levels might lower incrementally, your
sex drive will lower incrementally as well -- the very opposite of
what you want to have happen.
This isn't some theory concocted by so-called natural health "whack
jobs," mind you. Well-respected news organizations and medical
information outlets -- like ABC News and the Mayo Clinic --
corroborate this. In an ABC News webcast on Feb. 7 of last year,
Dr. Domenic Sica, chairman for Clinical Pharmacology and
Hypertension at the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical
Center, said this:
"When you look at it, a number of the blood pressure medications we
use are associated with the onset of male dysfunction. Now, that
can be a diuretic, a beta-blocker, or so-called peripheral alpha
beta-blocker -- those are three drugs commonly linked to male
dysfunction."
I'm not sure the link can be made any clearer; you name the
hypertension drug, and it will adversely affect your sexlife.
Given this, if you'll pardon the cliche, how does one kill two
birds with one stone? How does one lower their blood pressure and
improve their lovelife at the same time? Or is that even possible?
Absolutely it's possible, and you can learn how to do it
all-naturally.
Along with my good friend and co-author, Jon Benson, I have
developed an easy, all-natural way to lower your blood pressure and
improve your sex life at the same time. I wasn't sure this was
possible, but after hours of research and hordes of emails telling
me how my system worked for them, I don't just think it's possible,
I know it's possible!
Let me prove it to you.

I recommend you visit my website immediately, where you'll get a
crash course on how this issue has affected me personally; more
information on the links between what's 'down there' and
hypertension; and most important of all, how you can improve the
health of your body and your relationship...all-naturally.

I Want My Husband Back - 5 Helpful Tips
“I want my husband back” is the cry of many women who have seen their marriage start to crumble. It happens often times quietly and slowly and before you know it the marriage looks like it is coming to an end. If you aren't willing to let your marriage die, if you aren't willing to let it fall apart right before your very eyes, then do something about it. Here are some things that can help you get that love back when "I want my husband back."
1.Realize that it wasn't just you and it wasn't just him. It was the both of you. If you are willing to make changes in the way you approach the marriage, your husband might be willing to. Some of it comes down to the way you look at the situation.
2.Realize that it wasn't all one person who is at fault. “It takes two to tango” the saying goes. The same thing is true in any relationship. It isn't just one person that makes it work and it isn't just one person that causes it to fall apart. Don't put all of the weight on your shoulders and don't put it all on your husband's. Pull your weight and encourage him by example to pull his own in trying to make things right.
3.Start with where you are in life and see where you are in life. Look at what it is that makes you happy and drives you. Look for the same thing with your husband. Try to find common ground. If there is love there, you will find that common ground.
4.Once you have found that common ground, try to find some way to use that to your advantage. If there is something that brings the two of you joy, try to find some way for the two of you to experience it together. Let it seem like a spontaneous thought and try to make it seem like it is his idea. Try and generate some excitement about it. Don't go over board with the excitement, though.
5.When you are doing the things that the both of you love, let him know how special you think he is and how much you appreciate him. Let him know that you miss what you used to have. Let him know how you feel. It is easier to have those feelings reciprocated when you are both having fun doing something you love. Don't be afraid to tell him, "I want my husband back." You may just find out he wants the same thing.
You have to know that it may not be possible to get back the relationship to the level it was when it was at it's peak. Just because "I want my husband back" doesn't mean that it is the best thing to get it back to the way that it was. You should believe, though, that what you saw as the high point of your relationship doesn't have to be the all time high point. The best in life is still to come if you are willing to do the work that you need to do. Tell yourself, "I want my husband back, but I want the relationship back stronger than ever" and then work to make it happen.

PULL It Together - Help Save Your Marriage
Those who want help save your marriage from ending in divorce need to PULL it together. It is a hard thing to watch a marriage that was once so precious and important fall apart. It's heart breaking to sit by as the two of you start going your separate ways. If you don't want that to happen then do something about it. Pull it together to help save your marriage.
Chill out:
Take a moment to catch your breath and step back from the situation. Not necessarily take a break from it but to just calm down. It is easy for things to get over-heated. Take a moment to catch your breath and give it a moment to cool off. When you were young you were probably told to count to 10 when you got angry so that you could give yourself a chance to get yourself under control.
The same principle applies here. Before you do anything else, take a breath. The next time something is said to you that makes you mad, calm down, get a hold of yourself and then let go of your anger. Only then can you truly learn how to communicate and take the next step to help save your marriage.
Understand what is happening:
While you are “chilling out” and taking a moment to breathe, take a look at what is happening. This is where you try and look at the big picture and then look at things from other perspectives. From where you are standing at the moment things may look pretty bad. Try to look at it from other perspectives and it might not be as bad as you thought.
Try looking at it from an outsiders perspective and from the one you love. From those other perspectives you might find out why things have been getting out of control. There may be a relatively simple solution to help save your marriage.
Laugh at yourselves:
This doesn't mean to make light of the situation but it does mean don't take yourselves so seriously. It is easy to make mountains out of mole hills. Things snowball out of control but when you are able to see what it was that actually made the snowball you may end up laughing at it.
It can be hilarious to find out how a minuscule thing can turn into something so huge when it didn't have to. It can be hilarious if you are willing to let it be. Many times when people go through a rough time they will say, “Sometime we are going to look back at this and laugh!” Why wait?
Look for ways to improve:
Once you have had a chance to step back and catch your breath and then been able to get some perspective on the situation, you can move on. When you have realized that at it's root, this situation or problems that you have been struggling with is really small and manageable you can get things on track.
The next thing that you need to do is commit yourself to finding a way to improve. If you are responsible for the little things that get blown out of proportion, then try stopping it. If you have learned that you overreact, then stop it. Improve the way you handle situations and everything else may just fall into place to help save your marriage.
To help save your marriage, PULL together and bring back what belongs together...the two of you.
