    A little longer answer: Any plan that tells you unlimited rice, pasta, fruit, etc. is "free" and doesn't count toward your calorie goal is ridiculous.

    Wha???

    I had to look this up. I was amazed when I found out that - yep - that's accurate. I have no words.

    I know someone at work who has just joined
    She's all 'you can eat so much food, loads of chicken....' bless her, don't think she knows the meaning of a calorie deficit. Do they even get told about calorie amounts.

    Also someone else at work cut out 'junk' for 2 weeks but lost nothing so doesn't see the point.
    I just wanted to tell her that she was most likely eating too much.

    It would all go over their heads though.

    Bullsh*t. I could easily and happily live only off food from the 'free' list, and I betcha I could gain weight.
