MYTHS !!!!!!!
(1) If you don't eat 1200 calories your body will go into "Starvation Mode" and you won't lose weight as fast. Biggest piece of crock I have ever heard...Talk to people who eat below 1200 calories, they lose a LOT of weight...Quick. But anyway, there is NO such thing! There IS a thing called Malnutrition...which you can get over a period of time if you don't give your body the right Nutrients.
(2) You should eat 3 Meals (maybe more) per day...CRAP, made up by the same Industry that Promotes Fast Food and the like.
(3) Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
(4) You need to EAT breakfast to "stoke" your metabolism.
(5) The Body is "fueled" only by Carbs.
(6) You need to DRINK 8 cups of water per day.
(7) You can FLUSH excess Sodium from the Body on a Daily Basis. Example: If you eat lots of sodium, you can drink 10/12 glasses of water during the day and pee it out...NOT, NOT, NOT!!! This is NOT Flushing...REAL Flushing is DEADLY!!!0 -

im sorry to tell pl who think muscle dont weigh more then fat you are wrong cause muscle does weigh more then fat...you need to do better research
No, 5 lbs is 5 lbs...it "weighs" the same. The MASS is different. Muscle has less mass than fat.
No, the mass is exactly the same, because mass x gravity = weight. Density is different.
I guess I am crazy, but their MASSES look very DIFFERENT!!!
Nope, you're thinking of volume.0 -

These are actually all true. Science backs it all up. Sodium is water soluable, and so your body uses what it needs, and when you drink enough water, you flush out the rest (just like all vitamins except A, D, E, and K, which are fat soluable).
Please message me or friend me if you have any concerns, or questions, about why these are not myths.0 -
My favorite myth is that carbs are the devil....but that bacon and butter are your friends
I love this, watching people try to lose weight eating cheese and pepperoni for 3 meals a day. How does that seem safe or healthy!?!?0 -

3 - there's been several studies done where people ate the bulk of their calories at breakfast for 3 months and another group ate them at night. Then they switched and did another 3 months. both groups lost weight at the same rate with respect to each other and with respect to the prior 3 months. As the Mythbusters would say, "Myth busted".
4 - Metabolic testing actual shows a slight boost in calories burned during a short fast, like over night sleeping. Eating in the morning technically decreases your metabolism, but it's really a tiny insignificant amount.
6 - you need to intake what you lose. lose in all forms, urine, sweat, exhalation, and intake in all forms, water, juices, vegtables, etc
as for the rest eehhh. I could go either way.
And since the horse still isn't dead. Density is mass divided by volume. Mass is not measured in pounds. So 1 kilo of fat takes up more space and is less dense than 1 kilo of muscle. Weight is and expression of gravity's force. With Earth's constant gravity 1 kilo is equal to 2.2 pounds. 2.2 lbs of fat is equal to 2.2 lbs of muscle.0 -

I work at a college with a gym and they have these sitting on the desk at the entrance to the fitness center. My thought is that it doesn't seem like I still have that much fat on me, but I still keep managing to lose more of it.0 -

That's no different than saying calorie counters eat nothing but a tablespoon of rice and a lettuce leaf.0 -
Injecting yourself with pregnant women's urine will help you lose weight fast.0

I loved the Atkins diet years ago, seeing people by a turkey, bacon, ranch and cheese wrap to cut down on carbs, or reading in the paper how the diet claims you shouldn't eat carrots because they are 'loaded' with carbs.
P.S. I love juice but, like, the kind where you cut up a bunch of fruit and puree/liquify it in a blender. I've been too lazy to make any lately though.0 -
Eating beaten dead horse topic meat is good for your mind and body.0

Regarding "Starvation Mode" the truth is badly misrepresented. Kind of like the myth
about sort of working out a little and having the additional five pounds be "muscle weight"
As most people throw it around "Starvation Mode" is a myth.
As most people throw it around "Gaining weight due to increased muscle" is a myth.
Starvation Mode can happen to people who are starving...literally starving.
I'm overweight, and if I eat 900 calories a day for two weeks I am going to be
really really hunger, and I'm going to lose a lot of weight, and I am not going
to be anywhere near starvation mode. It doesn't and can't happen over the
course of one day or even several days. That part is a myth. Nobody reading
this probably has any chance of getting anywhere near starvation mode. It just
ain't gong to happen folks, throw that myth out.
In general, for probably everyone reading this, starvation mode is a myth, it does
not in any way apply to what we are trying to do. It really is not within any of
our capacity to get to starvation mode.0 -

The muscle isn't the best looking thing I have seen all day, either. I like it when things that belong inside the body just stay there.0 -

Myth: Drinking breast milk will build muscle.
(while I was breastfeeding my son I was offered money for breastmilk by some "weightlifters" who were certain it was going to help them build faster)0 -
one I saw in the usmc all the time is right before weigh in guys would stop working out a day or two ahead and spend those days in the sauna, all the while continuing to drink as much water as possible0
