My weight loss ritual

My Great Uncle has created a strange ritual that helps with weight loss. It is very tedious, it involves rubbing honey all over your body and then rolling in feathers. Now that you are covered you run for 1.5km. Now this is much more difficult than usual running as the feathers create drag and make you heavier, and the honey makes you very hot and so you sweat so much more.
