This is how the conversation went...
"Wow! How much weight have you lost?"
"107 lbs"
"That's amazing! You know if you REALLY want to lose weight, you should try this pill my aunt is on. It burns the fat off the food she eats."
"......"
"It looks pretty amazing, want me to get a few for you to try?"
"...I think I'm ok..."
"Ok! Your loss!"
I wonder how much weight I need to lose before I "REALLY" lose weight.
This made my day LOL Hilarious0 -
Sigh. Everyone was healthy back then cause they had to burn more calories catching and collecting the next meal to be able to feed everyone in their tribe!! They walked/ran moved everywhere. Not just diet!! That paleo thing drives me nuts. Yes, eat whole foods, its good for your body....but no, its not cause 'thats what our ancestors ate and they were healthy' its cause they exercised, all the time, just to get places!0

Okay, so this advice was not given to me, but to my sister:
"If you want to lose weight, you need to smoke pot." Uhm.. Yeah, go ahead and pick up a disgusting and unhealthy habit so you'll be less fat, that makes sense. The person telling her to do this went from "plump but healthy" to "thin but haggish" in a year's time with her "pot diet".
no expert but doesn't that crap give you the munchies (or is that just TV stereo type lol)
That's what I thought!
I wish it did that! I used to smoke pot (GASP!) but gave it up partly because of my weight loss journey - I didn't want to be good, and then smoke and think "OMG IM SO HUNGRY!" and eat a whole medium pizza to myself (it has happened...) If it helped with weight loss, EVERYONE would be high. The person who lost weight was one in a million.0 -

They also weren't necessarily healthy... Or happy!0 -
Worst thing I heard: don't eat carbs after breakfast.0

Try Actidiet, you're on a VLCD and your body is in ketosis but it's very healthy because it''s not shakes, its chewable food (soup anyone?) :noway:0

My female boss has just begged me to help her after seeing my weight loss a few months back (we live in different cities). I'm certain I know what I'm doing but it's still scary! Worst diet advice is telling someone to eat 1200 calories or less.0

I don't know if it's the *worst*, but it certainly gave me a laugh - A friend of mine was asking about my weight loss. At that point, I had lost about 80 lbs. She asked how I was doing it, and I told her that I was basically controlling my portion sizes, eating better food, and exercising. She goes, "Oh, I've heard of that. My sister did it." Like I had just described the newest fad diet. Then she says, "You should do the diet [husband] is doing! He doesn't eat any carbs." I couldn't believe it.
If the no carb thing is working for him, awesome. But I've obviously found something that works for me (and is also working better for me than his diet is working for him). I don't need to be sold on some wacky diet craze, thanks.
Oh my God, this would get my blood pressure up!!!
To add, I have also done Atkins and it was TERRIBLE: It worked, but it is NOT sustainable. And I was sick all the time and I could not work out.0 -
The Hcg diet. I just cant abelieve anyone has done this. I worked with a group of girls who did this a few years ago. While they all did lose weight, ALL of them regained within a year, and some have had hair loss, skin issues, etc.
Whoever thinks eating only 500cals a day from a list of 20 or so foods and injecting themselves with pregnancy hormone is a good way to live, I have some ocean front property in Kansas to sell ya!
RIGHT! My friend did this and ended up in a car accident because she was dizzy from a lack of calories. Luckily everyone was ok...0 -
''If you want something bad eat Ice cream because it goes through you as it is more like liquid'' that's the advice of my close friend who is a 'fitness nut' trying to justify eating ice cream and to this day he claims he is right. still looks the same, but he is definitely right lol0

You'll never get to 6% bodyfat eating below BMR. :laugh:
That one is probably true. You'll lose more LBM eating below your BMR - making it harder to get to a very low body fat percentage.
Mine was my sister in law telling me about the Cambridge diet - a VLCD of shakes :noway: She's never kept the weight off (she's not big to begin with mind).0 -
I got this today from a Personal Trainer at the gym. He was doing a taster session and went through a diet plan (not asked for)
Eat straight after getting up even if its a protein shake or protein smoothy (I can source the protein powder for you...ehem)
Then have a snack at 11 am - NO BREAD its empty calories and you should not eat it, transfer what I have for my lunch now to this snack of Ryvita and Philly extra light and apple
Lunch - 20grms :sad: of brown rice - chicken
2pm snack on a chicken breast
7 pm dinner - chicken NO CARBS
I did keep a straight face and I didn't tell he was wrong (apart from to point out that carbs are not the devil lol)0 -
Eat meat....
Just kidding...the worst would probably be the HCG diet...moronic!0 -

I know someone who has lost 60 lbs in 4 months with this Cambridge *kitten*. 500 or 800 calories a day in shakes... I cannot wait to see how she will hold up once she starts eating again. She has had days where she slipped and had some fries and immediately had a big gain... So this is going to be interesting.0 -
Eat practically nothing (maybe 500 cals a day) and take these pills/shots. They'll cause a whole bunch of bathroom issues, but don't worry about it. It's normal.
I'm pretty sure it was a joke, but eat in the bathtub. Due to the fact you're floating in the water (how deep is their tub?!) the calories don't settle. Or something like that.

FAT FLUSH RECIPE!!
Make the Recipe in Water Bottles.......Place In the Refrigerator and Just Take 2 or 3 Out to take with you, if you know you won't be home for long periods of time!!!
The longer it sits, the better it tastes. You can eat them as well but they are intended as flavoring and still work, so that is a personal choice. The Vitamin C turns fat into fuel, the tangerine increases your sensitivity to insulin, and the cucumber makes you feel full. Try it for 10 days and see what you think!
Three of my FB friends posted recipes to fatty, gooey stuff (e.g. blueberry crumble cheesecake, pizza casserole) then posted this. Heck, you wouldn't need a "fat flush recipe" if you didn't eat all that crap.0 -

Cut out all carbs and protein
THe most hilarious thing about this "advice is the whole conversation which went like this:
Them - "You've lost loads of weight recently haven't you?"
Me - "yes thanks, about 4 stone now, still a bit more to go though"
"I've started this diet my friend told me about, no carbs, no protein, and eat as much as you like"
"What NO carbs or protein? What *DO* you eat?"
"Well, like I had a massive ham salad for lunch today, which filled me up loads"
"Um, you know salad is carbs and ham is protien right?"
"Well she lost 2 stone last year on it, so it must work, you should try it"
"Uh huh, I think 'll stick with eat less and move more as I lost 4 stone last year......."0 -
Doctors... telling me to "Eat less and exercise more" when I was only eating about 600 calories a day... really??? Send them to medical school for what????0
-
Just lick it then spit it out! (CHOCOLATE YOU GUYS)
Laxatives increased dosage if you eat more(not recommended but how they lost weight)
Don't eat (ummm a theme setting in )
Be sick (again not advised but what they do)
UMMMMMMM so I'll be a licking , ****ting, sick stick.0 -
Seemed nice enough, " No bread forever..." I tried and after about 30 days I ate so much bread...this was years ago. The battle with me and bread isn't over but I'm not banning it.0
-
I took a pic of some lean pork loin chops on my grill and sent them to a friend...I was asked is that chicken I said nope pork the "other white meat" this became a huge argument because I was told red meat was healthier the white meat...:/ (yes I do eat lean red meat once maybe twice a week)0
-
I srsly hate diets, all of these posts make me sick to my stomach, the key to losing weight is excersising and eating in moderation, it doesent have to be super healthy, just not fast food or snacks, just eat a balanced meal, dont overeat, and you'll be there in no time, i lose 2 lbs a week, by eating like a normal human being..0

I am loving these!!! Crazy people!!! LOL0

The guy at the shop I buy my protein powder from tried to sell me fat burning pills. He warned me that they were so powerful his sister took two at once and wound up in the hospital because all of her fat burned off.0

When I was in high school,my gym teacher told me that it's ok to eat whatever you like and how much you like until noon and eat very little the rest of the day.
At the time I thought she was right because,hey,she's a gym teacher,she should know.0 -
Somebody told me that if you eat standing up you don't get fat... I replied with "Yeah, and if you have sex standing up you don't get pregnant." :laugh:0
