For those who don't know what Genghis Grill is, it's a Mongolian Grill style restaurant where you pile up the meat and veggies (all raw) and sauce you want in a bowl and they throw it on a big flat grill and cook it all together. It's actually quite yummy.

Anyway, they had this contest where you eat Genghis Grill everyday as part of your diet and eating healthy and the one who loses the most after 60 days wins $10,000.

Included in the email was a link to Larry North's 7 day Size Down program which can be found here http://www.larrynorth.com/media/Seven-Day-Size-Down-Program-Guide.htm

I find it really interesting that Day 1 includes the line "No eating out!"

Personally, I think most of it is a bunch of hooey, and I wouldn't personally follow any of it. I just find it hilarious that a restaurant is actively endorsing a spokesperson who is recommending that during this program people don't eat out, all the while giving someone $10,000 for eating at their restaurant for 2 months straight during a weight loss challenge.

    :laugh: A little contradictory there isn't it? Although I do love a Mongolian Grill and it can be one of the healthier choices when eating out.

    Lol! That is too funny! I love Mongolian BBQ. It has finally caught on in the states. When I lived in Okinawa Japan we used to have it all them time. We now have a couple of places in town, so it is a nice treat.

    It's the best restaurant type to eat at for ketogenic dieters like me. :)

    Nice marketing they have! Look at all the money they are going to make by so many people eating there at least once a day. Even with giving away $10 000 they will still pull in quite a bit of profit.

    Not sure why they would link to something that says not to eat out though.

    I miss Mongolian Grill!

    The link didn't work for me.

    You might be able to Google Larry North and find the program.
