Just one cookie means 18 minutes of exercise
Bad news for anyone who likes to eat (that would be me). The Houston Chronicle reports:
“To burn off the calories in one gingerbread cookie, you will have to swim 18 minutes. The martini and party mix will take 47 minutes on the bike.And the fruitcake? Take an 84-minute walk….
A half-pound of prime rib will cost you 230 minutes of yoga. A Starbucks Caramel Macchiato is 38 minutes on the bike — add 81 minutes if you grab a piece of coffee cake. You’ll have to walk 173 minutes to burn off a Whopper from Burger King…”
Are you kidding me? This might be the worst news since it came out that Alf was getting cancelled. It is going to take me a loooong time to recover from my Christmas feasting (which is actually more than my day-to-day feasting). I hope this can encourage you and me to watch what we eat this Christmas season.
