Jokes & Humor - New Diet Plan...Your slogans?

Here's the logo for my new diet plan. Can you think of a good slogan to help sell it?

Something along the lines of...

"FATKINS: Eat what you want. Die young."

Or maybe...

"FATKINS: Carbs...Fat...Protein. It's all good!"

"Fatkins: Completely defy logic: stop eating whole grains and vegetables"

"Get thick quick"

In the new Bicycling, there is a cover story "Diet Secret of the Pros: Eat Fat, Ride Fast."

"Fatkins: Pass the Butter"

Is this thread supposed to be funny?

HA Ha hA...

Is this thread supposed to be funny?

Maybe it is funny to those that don't have to be on a diet.

:rolleyes:

I actually think it is funny, not to make fun of fat people, but because of all the diet fads that have been so popular lately. Being fat has always been a negative thing in our society, whether right or wrong, just as for many years a diet consisting of steak and butter has been looked down upon. Now all of a sudden it is considered "healthy" that McDonalds has a burger without the bun. It is considered "healthy" that people are forcefully shocking their bodies to burn fat and calories in a non-natural way. Carrotts are considered taboo in some recent fad diets. Strange things are amidst in our dietary culture, and I think that is where the humor lies. How long will it be before "fat" is the new skinny?

Let's see. I posted an obvious parody of a nearly ubiquitous corporate logo in the "Jokes and Humor" forum. Yes, this thread was supposed to be funny. Since humor is subjective, I'm not surprised that some people are unamused. But if anyone was offended, I apologize. My intent was only to poke a little fun at a weight-loss fad.

The Atkins diet plan is, for many people, an effective way to lose weight. It works, I think, by providing a strict but easy-to-follow method for restricting caloric intake from a single source. Though it may be good for losing weight in the short term, Atkins is not an ideal lifestyle diet. It lacks balance.

Atkins has become a marketing juggernaut. Atkins approved foods are everywhere, and many unapproved foods are jumping on the bandwagon by featuring the words "low carb" on their labels. Low carb bread and low carb beer are kind of silly. The worst offender, in my opinion, is Hardee's with it's low carb burger. It's a fat-laden cheeseburger on a smaller bun. My blood congeals at the very thought of it, but then, I'm on cholesterol medication.

I'm trying to drop a few pounds from around my waist. That was the inspiration for this thread. For me, the ideal diet plan would be one that let me eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, as much as I wanted and still lose weight. Yes, I want a donuts-and-beer diet. I want the Fatkins plan. What a shame it won't work.

FATKINS: Be the potato.
FATKINS: The See Food diet.
FATKINS: Because bacon is good for you

To rip off another famous slogan
'Fatkins: Wheres the Beef?"

Fatkins: Eat dessert first.

Never say diet

fatkins: skin is the goal, fat is the key!

Unfortunately, people tend to take their weight-loss fads a little too seriously from time to time. God knows the number of times I've managed to upset people merely by suggesting the sudden weight loss they've had from a fad diet may not be able to be sustained for simple health reasons is just ridiculous. It's a shame that some people are slaves to a culture that values appearance above overall health.

Fatkins: For Faster Descents

Fatkins: Eat dessert first.

And second, and last. :)

For some people the best weight loss program is simply to knock their stupid heads off.

No slogan, but how about an endorsement...

But alas, Regular Guy, it's really not very funny.

I wonder what the next diet craze will be? Natural stimulants?

hm...

That's not funny, my name is Mac Fatkins :)

"Fat kins"

A logo for all those in your family who are fat! :D

FATKINS, A diet that is tons of fun.

FATKINS, Eat yourself silly and laugh it all back off.

FATKINS, Just hand the waitress the menu and say, OK.

Eat the rich. (I need to gain weight.)

Now all of a sudden it is considered "healthy" that McDonalds has a burger without the bun.

Do they seriously have a buger without the bun?

Do they seriously have a buger without the bun?

Sadly, yes. They wrap the meat in lettuce. Hardees now sells what they call a carb-friendly Breakfast Bowl. It's not much more than the contents of a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit in a bowl without the biscuit. The bowl sells for about $3. Funny thing is you can get the buscuit version for about $1.50.

My wife was at Ruby Tuesday's for lunch yesterday, and she says they have a burger on the menu that is two meat patties, and a lot of other stuff. 1600 calories, 110 fat grams, but only 5 net carbs. Now that's smart eating. :lol:

Fatkins: I'm still fat on the inside.
Fatkins: I was dumb and fat, now I'm just dumb.

Apologies to anyone on Atkins who is offended by this, but it is a pretty silly diet, IMO.

Fatkins: Mmmmmmm, insulin.

I am not on the Atkins diet, but I am offended by this thread. As far as I can tell, it is making fun of large people, and that is not nice at all.

Gee, this thread is funny.

NOT!

Huh. As far as I can tell, the thread is making fun of stupid people (those who are stupid enough to believe that ingesting huge quantities of animal fat is good nutrition), and that's still good sport.

Here's one:

Fatkins: nitroglycerin has zero carbs!

I believe RegularGuy already spelled out "The inspiration for this thread" in an earlier post. It's not about making fun of Large people!



Fatkins:Whatever, Whenever

Why? Are you a lardar$e?

Personally I think people who get obese, through their own gluttony and lack of physical activity are prime targets for ridicule and humour, especially if they're in denial about it.

Now, go listen to John Pinnette's album 'Show Me The Buffet', and learn to laugh at fat people again.

Yes some sanity :D

That might have been what Regularguy originally planned, but that is sadly not how it has turned out. :(
