Okay, the Space diet isn't a real diet -- yet -- but it's a fun way of looking at weight on other planets. This article takes a lighthearted gander at what planets we would need to go to in order to reach our goal weight without actually doing any work but hopping on the space shuttle.
Do you know which planet you'd weight the most on? That would be the largest of the planets, Jupiter, where an average 163-lb woman would weight 384 lbs. What 'planet' would you weight the least on? Pluto, where the average woman weighs 9 lbs. Here are the other results:
On Neptune, you're 182 lbs (too heavy)
On Mars, you're 61 lbs (too light)
On our moon, you're 62 lbs (too light)
On Saturn, you're 173 lbs (too heavy)
On Uranus, you're 144 lbs (just right)
On Venus, you're 146 lbs (ditto)
There's a downside though, so don't pack your bags yet. Venus is extremely hot while Uranus is bitterly cold, not to mention being the butt of many jokes.
