Can marijuana help you lose weight? If weed helped dieters eat right, would they legalize it? Sort of. British researchers are developing a weight-loss drug using a naturally occurring variant of tetrahydrocannabinol, the active substance in marijuana.

Instead of making you high, however, this compound blocks the brain receptors that make potheads crave pizza. As a result, it may prevent you from bingeing on unhealthy snacks. The pill could be available in America as early as 2012.

I have always been on a skeptical side when it comes to weight-loss drugs and diet pills. So while we are waiting for that illusive diet pill which will make our body fat magically disappear, here is one interesting fact that may help you lose weight right now.

Did you know that there are 1,720 calories in a Chili’s fajita chicken quesadilla entrée? If you have one of those and you choose a jumping rope workout to burn 1,720 calories, it takes 105 minutes to do so.

I do not know about you, but that is more jumping than I would ever want to do in one session. You might want to keep those stats in mind next time you order your meal. [source: Men's Health]
