this is the nuts! imagine your doctor saying "Mr. Johnson, i'm going to give u a sure fire regimen that will help u lose weight . your exercise will consist of 30mins of 9ball, 1.5 hrs of onepocket, 45 minutes of banks and 1hr of 14.1 per day . your diet will consist of chili cheese nachos and zero/snickers/m&m's ( your choice )" wow! that would be a dream doctor's visit would'nt it .

wanna burn more fat? then play more pool! hell yeah:thumbup2:
 
#5. Go out and walk, roller blade, or play pool (something active) instead of going out to dinner.

No M&Ms for you.

One also assumes that this list doesn't take into account the likelihood of second hand smoke when playing pool, depending on where you are.

have'nt u heard ? the FDA has officially included m&m's in one of the major food groups . Tests will soon prove that the same amount of vitamins and nutrients in a bowl of rasin bran can be found in a jumbo pack of peanut m&m's .

besides, i like m&m's!
 
Playing pool has got to be more healthy than what I"m doing now. But... I"m too tired to play.

Another benefit to playing pool is that Pool Halls, Basements, and Garages are guaranteed to block up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays. Therefore playing pool also helps prevent skin cancer better than any sunblock could.

Are you insane? I'm 5 ft 11 in tall and weigh about 200. I'm 56 years old, have diabetes, had 2 heart attacks, retinopathy, cataraks, an enlarged optic nerve, had four knee operations, four shoulder operations, my nose broken 7 times, fised 3 times, and will still give Earl the 7 IF, he will stay with me bourbon and coke for B& c for 7 hours prior!!!!!

Make no mistake, I know a couple of rich drumks who will stake it because they are stuck and want to get even.
