What is your biggest pet peeve when talking to fellow dieters.

Mine are people who do some crazy fad diet than complain because it doesn't work.

    Repeat fad dieters. The ones who tried a specific diet, it didn't work, and are doing it again.

    I know this lady in real life. She is THE WORST. she has tried every magic pill, potion and fad there is. While she's doing them she floods Facebook with her every move, feeling, and thought.... worse than that though, is she never loses any weight. Every time I see her she is bigger. Now I'm not one to judge or fat shame because I have been triple the size I am now, but come on! This crap obviously isnt working sis

    My ex sister in law does that. She was really annoying... at one point she did some crazy birth control/weight loss injection and lost like 5 lbs... went around promoting this stuff like it was going to change the world. Only problem is she was and is still about 100 lbs overweight.

    People who tell me they're satisfied with one square of chocolate. *kitten* liar. :lol:

    One square of 86% dark chocolate is enough punishment, thank you.

    with fellow dieters?
    People who follow fad diets, then "cheat" by eating massive amounts of food on the weekend. And then they "get back on track" by not eating for 3 days straight.
    This is my coworker.

    Also, I am not on a diet. I eat everything, deny myself nothing, and just count calories to control portions.....
    Not that my coworker understands this.....

    The "clean eating" craze and people who go on and on about it.

    I didn't drop my cookie, that means it's clean, right?

    Mine are people who insist that you don't have to change your eating habits and can lose weight with just increased exercise alone.

    People who mix avocados and dark chocolate together and say it taste like chocolate pudding. *kitten* you it does.

    I have made the avocado Choco thingy and thought it was pretty good. Is it pudding? No. But it did taste pretty good for an alternative.

    All of this. ^^^ So much truth and honesty. This is why I love this joint.

    Dieting propaganda gives me a really big pinch. Those who talk out of both sides of their mouth by rephrasing all of the old dieting catchphrases with new buzz words i.e. moderation means nothing but being so worth it does. So worth it means nothing. Absolutely nothing in that context because it is a total wash. They mean exactly the very same thing. That's what I'm talking about, rephrasing and making you think you have now been blessed with next miracle weight loss cure.

    The half has not been told how much I cannot stand people being taken to the cleaners with their hard earned money, dieting gurus making their money off the backs of those who work hard for everything.

    Have a work colleague who's off and on keto for the past 5 years or so losing and gaining the same 50ish Lbs...my pet peeve is his breath and body odor every time he goes back on keto...

    Honestly I don't see the point, I doubt it even has any fewer calories, its just the "healthier" impression

    My mother's thoughts on "dieting." To her, one large plate full instead of going back for seconds means she is cutting back. Eating "healthy" means there is a small veggie on the plate to go with the large piece of meat. Not eating red meat every night. She always wants to lose weight, but whenever I tell her how it's done, she "isn't ready to do that." It is no wonder that I grew up overweight with her as an example. So glad I know better now.

    .... his breath and body odor every time he goes back on keto.

    Keto dog breath and body odor, they can't smell themselves not even when their teeth start to loosen or they start going bald do they notice any of the side effects. When they start spending more time in the dentist chair and still cannot figure out that there are consequences. That locomotive breath is your body trying to tell you something, it's abby normal to stink every single day.

    Uh oh. Here comes old locomotive breath right now. Run.

    Hahaha! I can't stand people who act like special diets are the panacea for humanity's obesity problem. No, the "cure" is to not eat more than what your body needs. #1stLawofThermodynamics
