So I saw on Dr. Oz that you burn more calories if you wear a thong while running. Has anyone tried this? Just wondering if it works, k thanks.

    A thong made out of bacon will make you run fastest.

    I assume he means just the thong? You burn more when blushing ;-)

    Although, if you're wearing just a thong, you would probably burn more calories running from the cops. Hmmmm, maybe he's onto something after all.

    its because there's less restriction around your butt when you run, making you want to run faster, therefore burning more energy and more calories =P

    Flap your arms, like you're trying to fly. It's like a jumping jack and a run at the same time!

    Are you talking thongs as in women's underwear or thongs as in flip flops?

    Because I am willing to wear both if it means I lose more weight.

    It's true! I always wear a thong when I run. Pants/shorts are overrated.

    wearing a thong turns me on which means I'll run faster so I can get back home and take care of business which ends up burning more calories than just running alone. see how it works?

    If you carry a shakeweight and run while wearing a thong, you'll burn THREE TIMES more calories!

    A thong made out of bacon will make you run fastest.

    Only if there is a pack of mfp'ers . . . I mean wolves (no I really do mean mfp'ers) chasing them . . . like "zombies run" only "bacons run"

    If someone holds on to the thong, you may end up owing calories. Like when you put a car in reverse to take miles off the clock.

    Oh, so is this kind of like negative calories? Like sometimes, if I eat over my calories, I eat a head of lettuce or something that has negative calories to even everything out.

    If you sprinkle Sensa on the head of lettuce, you can undo the calories from the day before....that's what I heard!! :laugh:

    Did you read about that in a blog on the internet? It's only true if that's where you got your info.
