For those in the know, it is a line stolen from the oxymoronic TISM song, "I'm Interested in Apathy", but, there is good news if apathy hits and you do get fat drinking beer or eating too much of the good things in life.

A group of researchers from the University of Texas Houston Medical School in the US have invented a "Hibernation Diet". WTF? Full Diet Details Here

So, we pork up over the summer months and get to go off and hibernate like bears during the winter. Apparently, the researchers have discovered a way to induce a state of hibernation in mice which do not normally hibernate. What does it mean, basically, the metabolism shifts from glucose burning to fat burning.

Cool, we have lots of the stuff, fat, well some of us, so we get a nice long recovery period where we sleep all day and the fat just disappears, gold!

Probably not going to work to our advantage during racing or training though. Bummer! Now all we need to do is wait for the miracle pill to hit the streets. Mmm, don't like our chances.

I'm off to hibernate at work now.

Cheers
