Pakistani police told to lose weight -- or else

A Pakistani police commander ordered tens of thousands of potbellied officers to diet or quit frontline duties.

Habibur Rehman—the police chief in Pakistan's most populous province, Punjab—ordered 175,000 personnel not to allow their waistlines to exceed 38 inches (96cm).

He told officials last month that, "I'm on a diet, and if I can do it, why can't you?"

Spokeswoman Nabila Ghazanfar said at least 50 percent of Punjab police were overweight.
