    The Paleo Diet is how paleolithic people eat and/or is required for weight loss.

    @galgenstrick Nah, it got to 4 pages before the backlash. I'm counting it as a win. :)

    Googled PSMF, sounds like Optifast with solid food?

    Or a very low carb, restrictive-type diet. I will go ahead and say, 'No thank you. Not for me.'

    It's the very low fat that stood out to me. I was in a drug trial for the liquid diets, and lost my gall bladder because of it (so do did about half the other kids in my group), because of the low fat aspect. Presumably they've changed it some since then, or they'd have been sued out of existence by now.

    There is a fast quick fix diet to jump start your amazing losses.

    actually there is it's called psmf

    I just started a short-term PSMF. It's tough, but the rewards are worth it.

    What are the rewards?

    Lyle McDonald's version of it recommends basically no cardio if you are doing it, which IMO would be a major negative even if it didn't already sound unappealing.

    I agree with (almost) everything that was mentionned.

    In my day to day life, I find the breakfast and the whole "chrononutrition" myths to be the strongest.

    Another myth you can't lose weight without exercising.
