Certainly can!*
* All foods** can help lose weight as long as you burn off the calories you consume, with BACON one slice is ~1 hour of Zumba.
**t* is especially suited as trying to consume it results in retching the entire contents of your stomach and not wanting to eat anything else for several days.

I prefer american equivalent, their scientists say that you need to watch TV for 10 hours to burn calories from Doughnut. 
How many hours I need to watch TV to burn Bacon slice and large beer?

Don't burn the BACON, that way the pig would have died in vain.

actually, yes. maybe.
some people can lose a lot of weight by switching to a diet that's high in meat, fat and low-carb vegetables.

You lot area sickly, deformed bunch battling constant pain so I am sure some good advice will be forthcoming.
I am having hip pain still since my car crash, despite steroid injections and a few months of physio. Things are improving, and some activities are no longer a problem at all.
I changed my car last week and the pain I used to get after driving has more or less gone, I no longer get much pain whilst walking anymore either.
However, after sitting in a normal office chair for even half an hour I get quite a lot of pain when I get up again. The longer I sit the greater the pain and the longer it lasts. The pain is not there whilst sitting, but after I get up again.
My torturer sadist physio has suggested talking to our occupational therapist and changing my chair, which I shall, but does anyone have any experience or advice on seating to look into?

Am not! I'm healthy for the most part, and the only pains I battle are my feet (which the cat attacks to wake me up) and my right shoulder which I damaged in a motorcycle accident many, many years ago and still gives me grief in damp weather.
And QA. But that goes without saying.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Griff, are you saying that the pain in your shoulder makes you write responses in QA? That expalins much!

I find the sofa+Gordons combo the best solution.

I found that lot depends on individuals, however I would recommend a few things
1, mesh back (not that important for posture but a lot better than sweaty cloth
2, floating back - adjustable for pressure a gentle pressure applied to you back t o maintain posture
3, linked base and back this eases pressure on lower back when changing position
4, adjustable seat (most are fixed and if they don't suit you can leas to excessive pressure on legs/lower back
5, head restraint
6, adjustable arms rests
7, tension adjusters on all moving parts
and most important of all
a adjustable backrest that actually works and does not rely on a cheap screw clamp that doesn't hold it in postion
try this one

A woman who I used to work with had one that looked like one of those posturite and swore by the tailored fit- they measured her body & adjusted it to fit her specifically. Somehow, she didn't have to pay for it herself, I don't know whether it was the company who paid or some disability benefit.
Of course, when she left, it was no good for anybody else, cos nobody was the same shape - she had a couple at home from previous employments, too.

it worked for her though (he didn't ask what was the best option for the company, which would have been the crappy £39.99 ones from Staples)

My physio did say they have a responsibility to look after me and if they kick up a fuss to put them on to him.
To be fair, they are good here.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

so something between the two extremes would be the solution I guess.
I would recommend that you try the chair before you buy as even an expensive one may not suit you

That's what worries me about a dedicated department looking at the problem, even if that department is just one person. They'll be more happy to throw money at it than time.
Here, have this super duper chair, what do you mean it doesn't work?

one option is to research and find the best chair for you and ask for that, their are a few companies that can help or google in a pinch

A few years back I discovered (more or less by chance) that despite crappy office chairs causing pain in my lower back if I sit in them for extended periods without taking a walk every 45 min or so, what my back demands to be happy is a back that's as tall as it is and as broad as my shoulders.
