My trainer told me a couple weeks ago something like I needed to eat celery to replace my electrolytes because celery had hydrochloric acid and iodine or something really f'd up like that. I just nodded.0

I have a severe aversion to the feel of cotton balls and this just made audibly gag.

My boyfriend is convinced that if you cut out sugar then you will lose weight and maintain it. Of course it worked for him so it must work for all of us...

Someone told me this, but threw in that adding lemon juice does even more and you can pretty much pee the fat out.
I thought about it and it is interesting that every single person I know who drinks warm water instead of cold is thin... but maybe they where thin in the first place lol

Shut up. This isn't actually a thing, right? You made that up. Please tell me you made that up. Please.
that's an old model trick but I knew girls in hs who did that. Fruit juice or flavored Jell-O. also they ate Kleenex. fills you up, 0 calories. sick and sad.
Are we sure kleenex doesn't have calories? I mean, I can't imagine it occurred to them to analyze the nutritional information, but softened processed wood pulp can't be 100% calorie free.0 -

Now I'm thinking about that reality show that follows people who eat weird stuff like couch cushion foam and toilet paper. I wonder how many calories are in a whole couch.0 -
Almond rumors!

I heard another today...apparently diet sodas make you gain weight because they block the fat leaving your body, and slow your metabolism. So you should stick to regular sodas. Hmm, nope don't think so pal.0

"Plants live on light, then we eat plants," she wrote on Facebook May 3. "Are we simply not accessing our inherent ability to live on light? ... After hearing of the possibility that this might be true, I received a 'calling' from within, from the Universe, to find out if it is so.
But she also makes note on Facebook of unpleasant-sounding side effects such as weakness, throwing up bile, dizziness, and frozen hands."
Of course, humans are well known for their ability to photosynthesize carbs. LOL. I love watching natural selection in action.
You love hearing people die because of woo-woo bunk BS? I may ridicule and critizise dumb choices, but you would never catch me saying I LOVE seeing the results of someone starving themselves to death...0 -

I just got told at the grocery shop that light olive oil was less fat. Hehe

I have some dear friends that *only* buy products with "Lite" on the label. They're both considerably overweight. Funny how that works.0 -

And there's a disease (it even has a name) where people eat *themselves*. <shudder>0 -

My mother saying 'you can have as much of x, y, and z as you like, they are free on slimming world' despite the fact that a) I am not on slimming world, and b) all of x y and z are food and therefore have calories in. No wonder I have had more success on MFP in 2 years than she has on Slimming world in 15!0
