    You shouldn't exercise, because if you get injured and have to stop you'll get fat.

    that all this low fat/low carb fake crap is healthy...non fat milk, can't believe it's not butter! (I CAN!!)

    negative calories...smh people!

    only cardio will get you to your goal weight, and women being afraid of getting 'bulky' from weights....these make me embarrassed to be female, what happened to the legends of the Amazon women, who were strong, gorgeous and kick-*kitten*??

    - you need to keep carbs low to lose weight
    - you need to keep fat low to lose weight
    - do not eat within X hours of bed to lose weight
    - you must eat breakfast; breakfast is the most important meal
    - you must consume protein with X minutes after finishing your workout
    - accidentally bulking up is a huge risk when weight training
    - certain individual foods are "healthy"
    - certain individual foods are "unhealthy"
    - you should consume as few calories as possible to lose weight
    - if you are stuck in a plateau the only option is to lower calories more

    Diet Pills. Biggest myth on the planet

    Any sort of gizmo/gadget promising results in only 6 minutes a day!

    My fathers logic: Fish is healthy even if it's fried... Veggies are healthy even when smothered in cheese. This from the man who refused to let me leave a since morsel on my plate because not finishing my dinner was disrespectful. Now I have an unhealthy relationship with food. Good job dad...

    Actually, I think you're wrong. None of these things are dangerous or bad when consumed in moderation (just like everything else on the planet)

    Well, if they're 'myths', then there should not be any "good hard evidence"... I guess I am incapable of detecting your sarcasm in text.

    No eating after 7pm
    Cardio can make you look like the fitness model in your avatar
    You need to "carb up" before a 5K race
    Your body is hanging onto excess waste - so do a cleanse!
