Are you certain you didn't eat a bit, too?

I thought this was going to be some stupid Wii Fit success story or something. Its actually much more lamer than that.

Kudos to the guy, but whatever.

This is possibly the lamest weight loss story I've ever read. He wasn't even that fat, and he lost it through the most basic way possible: eating right and exercising. Not saying that was easy...but I mean really? This isn't news.

300lbs isn't that fat? Its 100lbs over obese for most people, especially when you have no muscle which if all you're doing is playing video games ... you have no muscle.

Me, and some other guys I know, lost a lot of weight just playing games 14+ hours a day. Food? Maybe after this game... which turns into 5 more hours. Then you're too tired to go get food.


I used to call that the Star Craft Diet, which then became the Halo diet. I just played SC or Halo so much I didn't have time for food. Ironically, I actually got fatter....

I dunno... I could see how they could give someone the drive. For most people they take it away though.

Video games don't make you fat, lack of exercise and a horrible diet does. Playing video games has never stopped me from working out.


this x2
I play video games 8 hours a day and stay in great shape ~~
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

This works/worked for me, when i played games a lot i lost weight. Even when i was eating a lot and everything i was not gaining any weight. I started to gain it only when working out and playing sports, which is kinda weird, cause it works other way round for everyone else.
Brood War is the best RTS that has ever been created.

lol i thot this was about some kid playing a ton of awesome games so awesome that he forgets that he's hungry and thus loses weight.

this isnt even that cool wtf its just the media jumping at anything that has any connotations to video games cuz it attracts viewers.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

the only way i can imagine to lose weight by playing video games is an excessive amount of dance dance revolution or the way they play in the movie 'gamer'

it says "helped"
spending alot of time gaming encourages a sedentary lifestyle and, unfortunately, we dont all have your masterful self control.

fucking christ, this is not a video game, there is no video game at all. Its a fucking mind game diet.
The titel was very misleading. This isnt revolutionary like what others said, its more of a keep your self on a agenda but mind games.
