    I'd add some health myths as well, since these are all pseudo medicine and woo.

    01. Oil Pulling
    02. Homeopathy
    03. Chiropractic
    05. Feng Shui
    06. Naturopathy
    07. Pretty much all "Eastern Medicine"
    08. Acupuncture
    09. Chelation "Therapy"
    10. The Pro-Disease, anti-vaccination crowd of celebs like Jenny McCarthy

    All of that is crap and in some cases dangerous.
    +100

    YES. THIS. ALL OF THIS 1000X.

    Everything that you said. I'd expand on the first one, though.

    1. Cardio for "toning"
    1200 calories.

    That you must eat every 4 hours...6 small meals a day to "boost your metabolism." So, are you supposed to wake up in the middle of the night to eat??
    No thanks, Intermittent Fasting, FTW!!

    How about that "corset training" is a good idea? ... Especially in the gym.

    When people say that muscle weighs more than fat.

    NO, IT DOESN'T!!!! 1kg of muscle weighs EXACTLY THE SAME as 1kg of fat, it's the surface area that is the difference!!!! BAH!

    :angry:

    If you took a cubic inch of fat and a cubic inch of muscle, the muscle would way more because it is more dense. Technically muscle does way more that fat. If someone said a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat then they would be wrong.

    ^this. "Muscle weighs more than fat" implies unitary equivalence. Do cars weigh more than children? NO BECAUSE 1KG OF CARS WEIGHS THE SAME AS 1KG OF CHILDREN!

    I hate when people say you shouldn't eat wheat.

    Me too, glutin is not devils food. Get off that soapbox unless you have Celiac disease.

    More accurately, it's the volume that's the difference... :flowerforyou:

    What happened to number 4?

    I will respectfully disagree on number 3. I had one for 7 years and he did wonders for me.


    The one I would like to see go away isn't a myth. Its the OP who keeps creating new profiles every couple of days and posts a dozen or so times in about 10 minutes selling Tarot card reading or other nonsense. Its the same post copy and pasted over and over. The title always includes the international calling number. And he/she always shows up around midnight EST in the US.

    Clean foods being a necessity for weight-loss or certain types of food being absolute no-no's.

    Spot reduction and 'toning'

    3. Cleanse/detox. My favourite is the coffee enema because we all know shoving a double espresso up your *kitten* will totally clean your liver.

    I know this is off topic, but the idea of "shoving a double espresso up your ***" reminds me of beer chicken. Now I have this image of somebody doing some sort of bizarre sweat detox all while flavoring his/her innards with a starbucks venti mocha latte.

    When people say that I feel like it's more an error in phrasing than an actual myth. The thought behind it is right, it's just worded in a nonsensical manner.

    Or they simply mean that an equal volume of muscle weighs more than an equal volume of fat. You wouldn't compare 1 pound of feathers to 1 pound of lead when people say lead weighs more than feathers, would you? It's just illogical.

    But if your chiropractor was administering anything akin to physical therapy, you were really just doing something akin to physical therapy.

    Or it's placebo.

    What are the top fitness/nutrition myths you would like to straight up murder?

    Mine:
    1. Spot reduction/toning
    2. Carbs are bad and evil like satan
    3. Cleanse/detox. My favourite is the coffee enema because we all know shoving a double espresso up your *kitten* will totally clean your liver.
    Can't you make a few more educational posts on here? I'd like to .. read them.. :love: :laugh:
