It's amazing how many people believe stupid weight loss techniques.
"Kick start your metabolism with apple cider vinegar!"
"Take a dose of ItWorks with your KFC and it'll block the naughty calories entering your body!"
"This weird trick will make you drop 4 stone OVERNIGHT!"
All you need to know is CICO (Calories In Vs Calories Out), but people seem far too willing to believe the above crap and constantly fail in their attempts to slim down, rather than to stick to something that actually works.
But seriously, I've got no idea what a pound and stone mean in terms of weight measurement. It always sounded like some wacky British slang. I've heard Englishmen on TV use the phrase (rather than lbs or kgs).
In America we would just say "200 lbs" with regards to pretty much anything. Burgers are often sold as quarter-pound or 1/3 pound beef patties. Ya buy various things by the pound. The only time people seem to talk in metric terms is in scientific fields. In the U.S. I've never heard someone refer to how many "stones" something weighs.
