in Chit-Chat
So I have been losing weight and for some reason people like to give me bad advice, especially out of shape people. I wanna hear what bad tips people have given you because I think I have probably heard the worst so far!

    I was told 6pm was the cutoff time. Like anything after that magically turns into fat.

    I've been told this too.

    people that tell me the diet i'm on (ketogenic) won't work and will make me fat. Umm hello, we work together, i'm 100lbs lighter than i was when we started. I'll be sure to let you know how big i get...

    If you fast longer than 24 hours then your brain shuts down.


    *This is despite me fasting 40hours 3 days a week without food & my brain still being very very active*

    To completely cut out carbs and consume only protein, this one's is a HUGE peeve of mine.

    CARBS ARE YOUR PRIMARY SOURCE OF ENERGY, and without them your body will suffer!
    Protein's function, while containing smaller amounts of energy, is primarily tissue repair and construction. For Pete's sake, stop telling people to not eat any carbs! It's bad for you!

    "You can have a net intake of calories greater than what you burn and still lose weight."

    Tea doesn't count as drinking water but you can add lemon to your water to make it taste better.

    If you don't do [insert the adviser's exact method of eating/lifting/pooping here], you will fail miserably at weight loss.

    If you lift 6x a week you will over train.
    Can lose weight unless you do cardio.
    you need to eat more fruits and veggs to lose weight.

    "Should you really be drinking that protein shake? It's going to make you big and bulky!"

    "Why are you lifting? You're going to have ginomous muscles and you'll look like a guy!"

    "You have an omelette for brekkie? You should only have muesli/cereal/bread or your body's metabolism won't kick off"

    There is so much more that still makes my head spin.
