Calories in Lip Gloss/Chap Stick???

Don't listen to all these people, Lipsticks etc has a TON of calories and are the main reason i got overweight.

I bet that if you keep a deficit calorie intake, keep an aye on your macros, get your 3 liters of water a day, 8 hour of sleep.. stop eating lipsticks and work out on a regular basis.. You'll lose all those extra kilos and get in supershape!

*walks into thread, starts laughing uncontrollably, then runs out of thread to the bathroom* Geez... there should be a warning label on this thread!! LOL Thanks for the laughs!!!

Hold the phone, buddy.. I got it! I'll start marketing HCG and Raspberry Ketones infused Lip Balm.

Problem: SOLVED.

You do that one and I will do the African Mango/Green Coffee extract infused lip balm and BINGO everything will be solved and taste yummy!!

Maybe the solution is to wear tape over our mouths. That way, nothing can get in. Except... oh my God, what about the calories in tape glue?! What if some gets on my mouth? It'll probably go straight to my thighs.

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.

AAAAAACCCCCKKKKKKKKKK! Okay. That actually did just make me laugh out loud. :laugh:

You have been applying it to the wrong set of lips.

:laugh: hahahahaha :laugh:

Forget the calories...is it Paleo-approved????

I fail to see the humor in someone asking for help in any aspect of her weight loss.

Consider yourself reported.

I've reported you for reporting her. Enjoy your ban.

Negative on the ban. I talked to the mods and got two of my strikes commuted to fouls and one was outside the strike zone so it was a ball.

This is just so...I don't even...

The possible minute traces of honey will not cause an "insulin spike" (by which I assume you mean blood sugar spike) OR cause you to "hold on to fat." In an average, nondiabetic person, the amount of sugar associated in a dangerous blood sugar spike is so ridiculously high, you would have to really, REALLY try to do so from some chapstick.

Perhaps I have missed any sarcasm in your post. I truly hope so. If I did, I apologize. :flowerforyou:

I don't know where you're getting your information but you couldn't be more wrong. That all might be true from oral ingestion of sugars but in this case we are dealing with transdermal ingestion. Do the research. FACT: Transdermal ingestion is a direct tap into the blood stream. FACT: When sugar is transmitted directly to the blood stream it hits all at once rather than being eased in through the digestive tract. This exponentially increases the effect of the sugar on the endocrine system creating an insulin spike resulting in fat storage. The only faster method would be direct application through a mucous membrane - this making application to the "other lips" even worse.
