Bus Company Says Thin Drivers Deserve Better Pay 54
In an attempt to promote good employee health, a Lithuanian transport company is paying thin drivers better salaries than their overweight co-workers. Over 100 drivers were weighed to determine their BMI. "We just wanted to promote a health lifestyle," said Vilius Lauzikas, director of Busturas, the transport company in question. The local union and donut loving drivers aren't fans of the new policy. "We cannot call it nothing other than a mockery. If they (the company) do not reconsider we will appeal to the courts," a union representative said.

The amazingly easy diet is simply this: slow down. It's a very well established fact that it takes your body up to 25 minutes to register "I've had enough to eat", and that's 25 minutes of time you continue to feed your face past your need. If you just pace your meals, take small portions at a time and make several trips to the buffet instead of PILING up two plates, not gulp down your food, you'll find you get to "satisfied" without eating nearly as much food or making ANY changes in your diet.
So many people that are struggling with dieting are slaves to their appetite, and this is a very easy way to get around that obstacle. It's hard for some people to understand others' "need to feed" when their body says its hungry and they lack willpower, but this is one of those little things you can try that doesn't require willpower - you can stop eating at that same satisfied level without having actually eaten as much.
