Way too many Americans are obese, and even those who aren’t could benefit from a good diet every now and then. However, some popular diet programs like Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig still require you to do one critical thing that will likely hurt your wallet- eat! If your interested in sliming down while saving money as a broke folk, consider a diet where you don’t have to chew, such at The Master Cleanse. This highly economical diet consists of drinking lemonade made of lemons (duh), maple syrup (which you can pick up from your local McDonalds), and a dash of cayenne pepper to give the dieter a sense of adventure. The diet also offers participants the option to drink laxative teas at and quarts of salt water to make sure that gag reflexes are still in tact. Even celebs like Beyonce have done the Master Cleanse, losing 20 pounds in 14 days, and easily adding an extra mill $$ (est.) to her stash! So slim down, save some moolah, and release your inner pop star.

For those of you with political aspirations, participating in the occupy movement may be your ticket for both networking purposes and access to impromptu shelters. In some of the more established locations you may find someone willing to share a tent, porta potties and free Clif Bars! And best of all, occupy movements are going on in every corner of the globe. So go find your local fellow occupiers, and just do it- Occupy for the sake of occupying.
Note: Try to occupy spaces like these:

The human body consists primarily of water. Give back to your core by consuming water in any and all appropriate occasions. Between tap water from the sink, public faucets, and fire hydrants, you will save yourself the pain of having to ever pay another penny to saturate your thirst.
Added bonus- fire hydrant games are also a slick way to cool off heated neighbors and save children from harming themselves on wild roller coaster rides, slick water slides and potentially violent unparalleled monkey bars.
