If you wrap yourself up in trash bags and duct tape, you will sweat off all of your fat...... WTF?

Isn't that called being kidnapped? I can see how you might lose weight...by crapping yourself.

I had someone like that on facebook - they put a thing on a local businsses group for my area on facebook.
When I replied sceptically, he sent me a friend request and linked me to the same information I was sceptical about.

He kept his profile updated with horrible woo and lizard over-lord stuff.
As I do, I questioned it.
It took some time of me pointing out the problems in all his woo before he defriended me - not great business to have someone questioning your faith when you're trying to target the faithful I'm guessing.

I laughed out loud at "lizard over-lord stuff". :laugh:

One night the phone rings, and I pick up, and it's this guy from high school that I hung out with :::coughcough:::: years ago and haven't seen since we walked the stage. We're chatting, I'm giving my husband a "what the hell?" look as I scribble on a piece of paper "guy from HS, WTF?" and keep chatting cheerfully. My husband is starting to go into Marine mode as I talk to this guy and try to figure out why he's calling me. Finally, he gets around to his spiel. I give my husband a big grin and write "I'm not fine... He's an MLM BOT!" on the piece of paper. I ended the phone call, and my husband and I had a good laugh. Nothing to be worried about, babe. He's not after me, he's after your money.

Damn. I was hoping it was because I was fine. Not so much. Le sigh.

OP, you're treading on some very dangerous ground. Watch yourself.

Actually it's most everyone else, not the OP. The OP actually had a good idea for a thread that got turned into yet another vegan/vegetarian/meat eater debate.

if by "had a good idea" you mean "stole intellectual property" from some very dangerous people in high places, I totally agree.

wait... what.. you're gaining? you need to eat more.... WTF?

This is the one that kills me. I get the eye rolling thing going on at this point. Energy balance and whatnot. Someone creating their own energy out of nothing seems pretty incredible.

I've reached the point of



with that one. like... oh, your gaining weight, must be that caloric deficit. how the frick is that possible. either there is no deficit, infact a surplus, or you have health problems.

I don't see how that works.

The deeper the deficit, the more likely you are to be malnourishing yourself, which in turns causes your body to produce hormones that conflict and prevent weight loss.

so if your gaining.... eat more? that would be a plateau, and it kinda sounds like bro science, although it might just sound like bro science. how long can this hormonal weight loss prevention last? at what threshold does it usually kick in? any studies. I would actually like to know.

Read New Rules of Lifting for Women. Primarily, this occurs for long-term deficits and long-term nutrient deficiencies. I'm not sure at what point it would begin. I think it depends on the individual. A lack of unsaturated fats over the long-term causes the body to produce grehlin (the hormone that stimulates hunger) in abundance. I've experienced this one firsthand and it sucks. Also, a potassium deficiency is likely to cause edema, or excess water retention (experienced this one too). And, lastly, a prolonged, under-nourished calorie deficit puts the body under stress, and it responds by producing excess cortisol that will make the body perform more efficiently (calorie burns are affected).

The evidence for this is out there. You just have to take the time to do some research.

sounds good, ill have a read.

One of mine is "don't eat food that is full of chemicals." H2O is a chemical for goodness sake. EVERYTHING is made of chemicals. I know what they folks who say this mean, but it sounds so ridiculous on its face.

Another one for me are the people who come on board and post a topic stating something to the effect of "I've been doing this for a WHOLE week and nothing's happening!!"Or the ones who want to drop 20 lbs in 2 days and say "please, no negativity."

Okay, so I exaggerate a little. Or maybe not.

Even more annoying is the people who respond to those threads and tell the frustrated poster they've "probably just gained muscle" (in that ONE WEEK)...ugh!!

My all-time favourite poster was the brainiac that claimed that 3/4 of women make false rape accusations. That was a level of ignorance I had to be almost impressed by. Those are some massive blinders to go through life wearing.

its pretty weird that as a collective, a good 85% of people don't know anything about eating healthy. we have smart phones, and the internet, and popping candy, we went into space and have a space station, cured diseases, unlocked the genetic code, yet people don't have even the basic education to eat properly.

I mean seriously, we are more educated than ever. why the *kitten* dont people know this. michelle obama is trying to chance this. do you think it will work? sadly, probably not. WTF?

I will state this right now...Not going in for the great vegan/omnivore debate, thanks but no thanks.

I am not going to justify my lifestyle and I am not asking you to justify yours, anyone who knows me knows I am a live and let live kinda guy.

Agreed.

Why do people feel the need to demean my choice of a vegetarian lifestyle if I'm doing nothing to push it on them/preach? To each his own.
