    "You can never eat Stilton again." - in WW class a few years ago because it was a high cal cheese.

    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!

    There is a woman at my gym who's pushing Herbalife on me. She's especially pushing some kind of tea that supposedly burns 80 calories just by drinking it. How is that even possible?

    Lol, it's not! But no more ridiculous than some the other claims by the MLM "coaches" around here.

    That's what I figured. I looked at the label, and it's got guarana in it. Basically a very concentrated form of caffiene. I guess you could burn 80 calories fidgeting for the next 3 hours.

    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.

    Cooking with butter will make you fat.
    Eating meat will make you fat.
    Dairy will kill you.

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

    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.

    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.
