    You have great insight about people you've never met. Where did you pick up this interesting power?

    People get up in arms because we're sick of seeing very bad information spread around.

    I picked up that power by living & being around people. This is bad information according to you, I think we can all agree on the fact that different things work for different people. Just because you don't agree doesn't make it *bad* information.

    My God why do people get so up in arms over posts? It's not that serious. At the end of the day everyone has their opinions & what works for some won't work for others. I'm sure this guy was just sharing what he thinks & meant no harm. This is honestly why I rarely post anything, because people get so crazy over the dumbest things & I know for a fact that most of the people on here who get all rude, condescending & high & mighty wouldn't speak this way if they were face to face with the OT, keyboard warriors really amuse me. But all in all there are serious things going on in this world & this isn't one of them. So relax.
    Ironic.

    Also, who cares whether or not a face-to-face conversation on the same topic would go the same way? Does that change what is or isn't true?

    The ONLY people that need to restrict certain foods are those that have medical conditions that require restrictions. In that case, a doctor, dietician, or nutritionist, SHOULD advise those people on what to cut out of their diet. EVERYONE else can (and I would say SHOULD) practice moderation.

    Ummmm, it says what is says. If you don't agree with that statement, cool.
    Geez, I actually thought I was being pretty chill in my comments to you, so if I offended, that was not my intention. Again, best of luck.

    Well it's annoying when someone comes on here spouting advice for everyone to follow when that advice is not backed by science. You said what works for some won't work for others. Well guys like OP tell everyone to do what worked for them.

    Look at all the people doing raspberry ketones, HCG, you name it. Of course people believe anything and will do it. The more outrageous it is, the more people will follow it.

    I thought you learned about people by knowing them. Clearly, you haven't met very many people.

    Wow. 8 pages of replies in only 4 hours.

    Uh.....in a bad place? Lets compare before and after pictures.

    MFP just dropped my calorie goal to 1310.

    The ticker doesn't tell the story, but it DOES confirm it.

    But some, if not most, people won't. That's why there are others like us here to point out the BS when we see it. You can consider it a public service.

    I think saying a 1200 calorie diet is starving is a bit of a broad statement. I am only 5'1. I can not eat as much as someone who is 5'10 and lose weight. I do fine eating 1200 calories and my exercise calories.

    Exactly! I am 5 feet tall...if I were to eat 1700+ calories I would gain. I think my numbers speak for themselves that eating a 1200 calorie diet can work if done properly.

    Yah by taking an easy route...predicatable...

    That is why when people come to these forums some of us call BS to point out the easy road is not to eliminate this or that but by eating in a deficet.

    I just find it amusing. I'm the same way online & in real life.
    Many people have the ability to utilize different sets of behavior and ways of interaction and expectations in different environments.

    But I remember playing D&D when I was a kid and there were always a few kids who couldn't play a character, they were just themselves all the time, and they'd get all butthurt about things that happened to or were said to their character.

    Am I the only one who caught his statement at the end?: "this is just a guide"...come on people, we're not on here to bash. He was just leaving his input and if it works for him, then good. nowhere in there did he say "this is the only way to lose weight." Everybody has different strategies and diet/workout plans that work for their body type, so try this method or not. it's your choice, but don't hate on him for it.

    Another really good way to lose weight is to come here and preach. Folks will take bites out of your backside.

    OMG! I love this! Seriously, this topic has been done to death.
