Calories in Lip Gloss/Chap Stick???

I think your biggest danger would be from the Burt's Bees chapstick. It's made form beeswax which will still have traces of honey in it. Honey being sugar will cause an insulin spike and cause your body to hold onto its fat. Even though the quantity is low it is being introduced into your system transdermally so it's an instant shot of sugar to your bloodstream rather than a slower absorption through your digestive tract.

Gaah!!! Jeez, I hope that's not true! But it does seem logical....

Make sure you do not apply any after 9pm at night - it will turn immediately into fat and make your muscles drop off!

OK, Now I can tell you're just making fun of me. That's not nice. I'm really struggling to make all the right choices on this journey, and I don't need negative nancies teasing me for trying to think outside the box!

I'm not sure of the muscles dropping off part but the rest is true. It's all based on science.


FACT.

No, I'm pretty sure it's true. I read some studies that proved it I just can't find them right now. They were pee reviewed.

I know it was a typo, but all the same my computer is glad I was not drinking coffee when I read about studies being "pee reviewed"

Are you sure it was a typo?

I gave up chap stick years ago when a friend told me you can get addicted to it. Haven't you ever noticed that the more you use it, the more you feel you NEED to use it? No way, I am not gonna' let myself get addicted to it.

Well, okay, I do still use it, but I try to use it in moderation. Like just on weekends, that kind of thing.

you would probably expend all those calories applying it to your mouth it would be so insignificant

i'm loving this thread - it's hilarious! While running on saturday i swallowed a bug - should i have logged it under snacks? sorry. some people are just too serious about weight loss.

I hate when that happens! It happens more often when I'm biking than running- but I'm a vegetarian and I wonder if that breaks my 19 year streak?! I try to put it out of mind though since I can't control it. I've read that everyone swallows some really offensive number of spiders while sleeping, too.....

Apparently the amount of spiders is a myth.

Made.My.Day... :laugh:

wow. I've seen a lot of stuff on these threads....but wow. :laugh:

This explains my weight gain. I have been wearing lipstick since I've been two.

How long have you been two?

Better question is...How long have you been a ****?

If those stars were a short name for Richard then the answer is "probably longer than you've been two". It's a gift, I don't even have to try. It's just part of my awesome.

How about PETER... I'm pretty sure...it's flaccid...

That rocked my hour!

But is it a myth that it is offensive?

Nah, mostly its offensive that they just do with me as they will while I'm sleeping and I get nothing for it. At least if a tapeworm crawled in it could eat my chap stick calories and make me skinny!

As long as you didn't use the beeswax with the transdermal sugar ingestion. Since it doesn't go through your digestive system the tapeworm wouldn't get any of the sweet sweet honey. When he noticed sugar in the bloodstream that he didn't get to eat he'd would go into a reverse triptospasm which would release the calories he had consumed back into your system causing double weight gain.
