If it’s Thursday, that must mean that it’s time for another episode of Parks and Recreation … on Vulture. In an effort to keep you in touch with the cast while they wait for their spot on the NBC schedule, a different Pawneean (Pawnite?) has been submitting a slideshow every week, and it’s Chris Pratt’s turn. He plays Andy Dwyer, the lovably dopey shoe-shine man. However, this is no easy feat: After a summer of slipping into physical fitness, getting back into doughy shape for the new season has been a grueling effort, but he’s done it. In case you’re ever up for the role of a slacker who has let himself go, Pratt has generously shared his secrets for how to most efficiently pack on the pounds.
