    Eat less than a 1000 cal and you'll do just fine. No thanks :laugh:

    Most of the recipes on the Hungry Girl website. She just combines all the fat free and sugar free items she could find at the grocery store.

    Actually, she has a lot of really good recipes, you just have to know how to tweak them to make them healthier. For example, her Parmed Up Tilapia is really good, and she has awesome ideas for low cal party foods.

    Have nothing but juice for 3 days and it will jump start your metabolism.
  • Eat lots of rice - you don't see any fat Asians, do you?

    Anything said by any Beachbody, Herbalife, Advocare, Body by Vi, ItWorks,etc. MLM salesperson (I refuse to refer to them as "coaches" because IMO they haven't legitimately earned that title).

    Yup, that is pretty much a joke isn't it!

    you're cute.


    And you're not really a "coach", Mr. Salesman!

    Sure I am. Ask my clients. :) (but let's not derail the thread)

    Eat as much Ice cream as you like as your body burns more calories heating it up than it gets from the Ice Cream.

    Oh I wish that was true :D

    the "3 day military diet". It recommends eating hot dogs. I find that quite weird. It has been floating around pinterest...

    My coworker heard some study about if you eat a huge, sugar-laden breakfast like donuts/waffles/cake, you won't want sweets anymore the rest of the day. I have an inkling that would work opposite for me, once I recovered from my morning sugar crash anyways.

    Why thank you for the compliment but sorry, your not really my type. :blushing:
  • The worst advice is to avoid certain food. People react differently to all kinds of different foods. You may have to figure out which ones you are sensitive to. Good luck

    Slimfast...My doctor put me on this when I was 11 years old just because it worked for him :noway: I drank it for three days and I was violently ill. I remember my dad taking me to the hospital because I wouldn't stop vomiting. They couldn't believe that a doctor had put me on that crap at that age! This was back in 1991 when Slimfast was all the hype.

    Anything revolving around having to eat at certain times like not eating past 7 or that breakfast is a necessity. I have done fairly well breaking these rules :wink:

    eat six small meals a day to stroke your metabolic fire = BS

    or - if you do not eat six small meals a day you will go into starvation mode = this sounds like nails scraping across black board...shivering...

    I don't think it really matters, I eat little meals all day. Never been overweight

    ??
    but eating six small meals has nothing to do with increasing metabolism...

    It may not be a metabolism thing, but I've found that eating something, especially a bit of protein, every three or four hours keeps me from being super hungry. If I wait too long between meals my body doesn't go into starvation mode, but I end up eating like a starving person.:embarassed:

    I am the same way. OMG! My nutritionist recommended I eat protein at every meal. I noticed I wasn't hungry as much.

    You have too...
    You need too...
    WTF! How did you become the omniscient master of the universe? Anyone that believes they have all the answers for some one else is delusional! Give advice where its asked for... if its seriously a no brainer... 6 donuts a day, then make a suggestion that they might want to try a more balanced approach to eating... At the end of the day. Consuming calories at a deficit will cause weight loss... Is the only sure thing that can be said.

    Yeah, but they're probably eating American food.

    I'll list a few:

    "Minimize carbs, carbs make you fat"

    "You need 100oz a day of pure water, no other fluids will do"

    "Eat more spicy foods, they help lose weight" - Thank you Dr. *quack* Oz.

    "Never eat xxxx". Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

    Plus every single post in this thread. Some people have some funny ideas.

    "You can eat as many calories as you want. You won't gain weight unless you eat carbs!"

    hahaha mine is similar - my father in law told me once that my 1 sausage with 1 slice of bread was much worse than his 3 sausages...

    That you HAVE to eat meat for nutrition, when protein and fats etc. can be found in other sources which people can research easily these days
