According to Health Magazine

A British research states that you can lose 6 pounds a year -- just by SHOPPING.

Now that is my kind of research!

"The average woman burns roughly 385 calories each week scouring stores for best buys, which amounts to a whopping 20,000 calories a year."  This is a direct quote from Health Magazine, May 2010.

However, there should be a disclaimer for Americans who tend to drive on their shopping expeditions.  The British and the Europeans walk to their shopping destinations. 

Ahhh, one can only dream of losing weight while shopping.
Or losing weight while eating.

Sweet dreams!
