I have one cookbook where I'm trying to do every recipe in it, in order. (I'll skip around for other recipes, but when I do my weekly cooking, there's one bit of guesswork eliminated. Whatever else I cook, I'm including whichever dish is 'next'.) The book is 1000 Vegan Recipes and I started it over 5 years ago in the snacks section. When I started MFP on Oct 30, I was in the middle of the pasta section. I finish that this week (and move onto bean dishes, beginning with chilies). So, I've been on MFP for 90 days, eating 4 servings of pasta and/or Asian noodles weekly. And apart from ONE recipe, where I switched out rice sticks with shirataki, because I couldn't justify over 800 calories for one serving and the substitution cut the calories by more than half, I've been doing them as directed in the cookbook. No cutting back on oil or making a 4-portion recipe stretch to 6.
And I've lost 30 lbs. On hi-carb. On noodles.

I often see the same people who state that "All bodies are different", to explain why they can or can't lose or gain weight while eating a particular food or food group, then rely on studies which have been done on rodents to back up other views they have regarding that food or food group. That always strikes me as spectacularly daft. If two humans are so different, what the hell relevance does a mouse have?54

Don't make a resolution to lose weight, instead make a resolution not to gain anymore weight. Once you're successful at that then it will probably be easier to stick to the next step...weight loss. And yes sugar is poison that's why we can only have such a small amount.7

After a run with a friend, I rushed for the drinking fountain. She told me "Don't drink after a run, it will make you fat." What!62

You can't possibly be well-hydrated without drinking 8 glasses of water.22

I read so many daffy things right here on MFP I couldn't pick just one.22

that when i got a side salad at wendys my aunt yelled at me (after losing 60 pounds by this point) That i NEED to eat meat and the fries because i need the fat and proteins ir my body would go into starvation mode and i wouldnt lose weight.
Basically she argued (angrily and totally legit) That shes going to lose weight off her full meal including buttered baked potatoes fries and a huge burger with extra mayo, And i wont off my side salad.
She has continued to gain and im down 80 pounds

Wait: are these daft things you have heard?7 -
I did once get told that I wouldn't be able to lose weight until after I had babies (the woman in question was constantly at me for not wanting kids) because "your body wants to have babies, so it's hanging onto the stores to grow and feed them".44

Oh where do I begin? Cheese is the devil's food, dairy in general. Too much water will make you bloated. Say what!? Eat nothing but fruits and your face will clear up. Go on a carb-free diet...um? Okay...doesn't everything have a certain amount of carbs? Oops! Forgot my fav, don't lift weights it'll make you big. Huh?16

Someone once told me that if I wanted to lose weight, all I needed to do was go to bed hungry every night. Where I come from, that sounds like an eating disorder.25

Off topic, but how are you liking the stand up desk? I work from home and know that I sit way too much. I'm looking at this https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01K6P748E/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=DU440NCHDVX7&coliid=I2ZB7QUQ1OPO0Z since I could use while I'm using my bike and just in general.2 -
