New Weight Loss Program: Move to Australia

Move over, atkins! Australia is the new weight loss fad! My recommendation for anyone looking to shed a few pounds: go to school in Australia. For those of you who don't know, I live 2 suburbs north of Wollongong. I try to walk to and from uni everyday to save money (although some mornings that just doesn't happen) which puts me at a round trip of 5 miles a day. Not to mention any shopping that needs to be done or anything else that requires additional walking. Another component of the weight loss program is time. With no obligations, commitments, or responsibilities here, I have more time than ever to devote to working out. You're probably thinking "working out? he walks 5 miles a day as it is!", but I'm still doing a fair bit of training for a triathlon and starting to do some weight training. So, add that into the mix and I'm one hungry boy! The only problem? The food here is D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G. I know cafeterias are not supposed to be good, but I'm certainly not used to ones that serve you leftovers. The thing about leftovers is that clearly people didn't like it enough the first time to eat it, so who wants it reheated? Besides, the choices are hardly stellar with a rotating menu every 4 days or so. I've had enough "lasagna" to last me for years. Beef or veggie because you get them both every week! This would naturally incline people to eat out more often, but with meals averaging twice as much here that doesn't really factor into a poor boy's budget. So there you have it, a revolutionary diet for the ages!
