Now that I have your attention -

Every so often I'll make one of these random bits of info. How about now.


You don't need to eat clean.
You don't need to avoid white bread or potatoes or beans or rice or _____________ (insert food here) unless you've got an intolerance/allergy/medical condition.
You don't need to eat breakfast to get your metabolism started.
You probably don't need to pay any attention to GI.
Your metabolism doesn't get kick-started and you don't rev it up.
Eating frequently is fine but it doesn't "boost your metabolism".
Don't waste your money on Raspberry Keytones and you should probably turn off Dr. Oz.
You are not toning.
You will not bulk up, ladies.
You also don't "gain muscle really easily". Yes, YOU.
Low carbing is not dangerous.
Low carbing is not metabolically superior.
You can eat food before bed.
You can eat food IN bed.
There is no specific time at which eating will cause you to gain fat.
The little pink dumbbells do not constitute "lifting weights".
That glass of blended up "juice" that you're replacing your meals with, probably isn't "cleansing" any "toxins".
"Hot Pants" don't make you lose fat, although they may make your wallet lighter.
You don't need to burn off that bowl of cereal or piece of chicken.
You don't need to worry about whether you're burning carbs or fat.
You don't need to worry about how much fat you burned during your workout, or how much muscle you gained during that set of bosu-ball dumbbell flies.
You don't "shock your body"
You don't "confuse your mucles"
Stop switching up your lifting program. How about stick to something and add weight to the bar.
Just because you saw it in a documentary doesn't mean it's a good idea or even remotely research-based.
You don't need to zig-zag or carb cycle or do the 17 day butt wash or the cabbage donkey stew diet.
2 weeks is not a plateau.

Start here:
1) Eat within a reasonable caloric intake for your goals.
2) Consume adequate protein and fat.
3) Consume at least enough carbs to allow you to train with intensity.

(And can you just use some common sense with food selection?)

4) Lift weights
5) Get rest.
6) Repeat
7) And quit worrying about all the other crap.



Be patient.

17 day butt wash!!!!

The 12-day butt wash has always been enough for me, I've thought the 17-day program to be kinda overkill

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Edit: yeah, I'm going to have to hitch a ride with the TARDIS back to 2012 for a proper thanking.

This is such a great post that I'm not even mad that it's a necro'd thread.

See, there are threads around here that get bumped because they are filled with glorious goodness (information that newer posters should be exposed to) and then there are threads that get randomly necro'd because someone googled something and found it.

This is, clearly, the former.

The thread title alone is worth the bump - the (excellent) content is the icing on the cake!

If this thread OP goes viral ..mfp is out of business....shhhhhh

Bravo! Well said! I want to print this and give b this to so many people!

I was concerned because the OP's profile was gone.

But @Sidesteel is still here. He's not the OP?
Surely there are not TWO people with common sense on these boards...
