A former obese man in the U.S. has managed to lose a shit load of weight by sticking to a strict diet of crystal meth. And he’s really happy with the results.

32-year-old Aston Hasley from Ohio described how six months ago, his weight had spiralled out of control. After starting a new job at a local McDonald’s branch he had been binge eating fast food, sometimes consuming up to 10,000 calories in one day. As a result, he had piled on the pounds to the point where his doctor told him he was morbidly obese and in the high-risk category for a heart attack. Hasley said: 

That was a wake-up call for me. I knew my weight was bad, but I didn’t realise that I was in that much danger. I had to do something about it.

Hasley decided that a regular diet would not be enough to get the results he wanted. He needed to lose weight fast and decided that binging out on crystal meth was the way to go:

After a couple of days even, I noticed my belt felt looser.

Soon enough the weight was falling off of me and I had a lot of energy too.

No kidding – I hear meth can do that. Although he lost his job in the process after being too messed to serve members of the public, Hasley said he is delighted with how much weight he has lost in the past several months.

One thing he hasn’t thought about is what to do if and when he comes off the drug.

I know a lot of people struggle to get off meth as it is pretty darn addictive. But I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Fairplay? I guess he’s done what he set out to do, although he has just shifted his addiction from one substance to the next. Hopefully it will all work itself out for Hasley so he can keep the weight off AND be drug free. Here’s hoping.
