New study finds that cutting off leg could help lose weight

An exciting new study has discovered that in almost all cases, cutting off a leg will help you lose weight.

“After an extensive study,” explained Dr Barry Plums, a leading endocrinologist.

“I’m pleased to say that we can conclude that cutting off a leg will result in significant weight loss. Depending on the individual in question, this could be as much as 16 or 17 kilograms.”

The breakthrough will be a relief to people who have struggled with diets in the past.

Dr Plums continued, “This particular method of weight loss isn’t reliant on what you eat. In theory, you could eat an entire Walls Vienetta for breakfast, lunch and dinner and then cut off your leg, and you will still have lost weight.

“We do not condone eating an entire Walls Vienetta for breakfast, lunch and dinner, for obvious reasons. Cost, mainly.”

Those who wish to cut off a leg in an attempt to lose weight are first advised to make an appointment with their GP.

Dr Plums went on, “The cutting off of a leg should only be done under strict medical supervision. See your GP and start by discussing which of your two legs you would be best able to do without. They would then book you in for a safe, efficient amputation.”

The new study has been hailed as a potential game-changer for the obesity crisis, and considerably more practical than the previous study – ‘Losing weight by living on the moon.’
