The Michael Phelps Diet

I think I have a new role model.

Phelps consumes 12,000 calories a day to keep from losing weight from his 30-hour-a-week workouts. (Click here for a look at a typical day at the table with Phelps.)

Pretty amazing when you consider it takes 3,500 calories to gain a pound or lose a pound. I could skip the workout and pack on those 22 coveted pounds in a little more than a week on the Michael Phelps diet.

Now I just need to figure out how to get his six-pack.
