Omni Brain

An exploration of the serious/fun/ridiculous - past/present/future of the brain and the science that loves it.

The Homunculus

steve_icon_medium.jpgThe Omnibrain is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, The Omnibrain is a real graduate student at a real school somewhere in the continental United States - or maybe Europe.

My Pet Fat (tm)

Category: HealthHumorStupid PeopleWeird
Posted on: March 3, 2010 3:00 PM, by The Omnibrain

Trying to lose weight? Need extra motivation? Don't want to spend 1000's on a diet program and personal trainer? Afraid of drugs or cutting big chunks out of your intestine? This might just be the most important diet craze to sweep the nation and solve our obesity problem. Read on to find out the secret to dropping those pounds...

So... you ready for the greatest weight revelation in the history of weight loss?

Yes... it's fake fat!

Women, men, moms, dad's teens, kids and families all find mypetfat a great way to keep their weight loss, exercise and wellness goals top-of mind.

mypetfat is highly endorsed and used as a weight loss educator and motivator by instructors, coaches, trainers, nutritionists, nurses and doctors everyday. Whether you need to lose a little bit of weight, a lot of weight, or maintain your weight, mypetfat will help you be much more mindful of what you're eating, and even help motivate you to get up off the couch and move.

There's a good chance you've already seen mypetfat in action as it's being used everyday by major weight loss plans in their member classes. Trainers at gyms small and large motivate their clients with it. Companies trying to reduce healthcare costs are using it as an educational and motivational weight loss tool in their wellness programs.

I'm really hoping for a scientific study of it's effectiveness... not because I care whether it works or not - but because I just want to see the title of the paper and the resulting abstract (no way I'll actually read the whole damn thing)

We had my pet fat around our clinic. I don't know know if it works, but it certainly creeps people out.

These are so cool! The five-pound model looks like a yellow meatloaf. Just enter "Fat Replica" as the search term on Amazon and they'll come up. Muscle replicas too!
