"kfc bucket meal and a diet coke... im watching my weight"
butter is evil, margarine is far better
never eat carbs. carbs are evil.
chips are one of your 5 a day
I'll get a baked potato, its healthier- add massive dollop of butter and sour cream
egg yolks are bad for you
fat is evil, all fat.


I once met a little boy that refused to eat chips of crisps after i told him they were made from potatoes. he thought the super markets made them... oish

I don't have anything to add really. Everyone seems to have listed a reasonable amount of things that irritate them.

Before I came to this site, I didn't really know much, I was ignorant and thought, just because I've lost weight I knew what I was doing and I knew more than other people. I was wrong.


These are the things I used to do before I came here and learned a lot about food, drinks and diet in general.

I used to drink diet fizzy drinks because it had no calories or sugar...
I used to remove egg yolks...
I used to think muscle WEIGHED more than fat... Stupid I know...


I still look for low fat products and make sure there they haven't added any sugar to it, if they have I tend to look for something else. I bought the Fage Total 0% Yoghurt because it was fat free. It contains less sugar than the 2% fat Greek Yoghurt and it doesn't contain any sweeteners. The reason that is, is because the Fage Total 2% contains Milk Cream and Total 0% doesn't. So you should look at labels before you judge people for choosing fat free or low fat products, you might be surprised when you find that certain products contain no sugar or sweeteners.
