I swear if I read one more topic that says fast metabolism diet, virgin diet, cabbage diet, chicken diet, thermo nuclear pills, rules for skinny, jumpstart skinny or whatever the hell the latest fad is, I swear I am going to scream and start doing horrible things....well maybe it is not that bad, but whatever happened to just eating in a 500 al deficit and working out/moving more?
You then try and tell these people that instead of lining some fools pocket you already have access to a free site in MFP, yet they are still trying to find something else? then they all say well "did you read the book?" I am not going to spend 24.99 on some book just so I can justify that what they are proposing is crap. I guarantee if I read any of these diets they will all start with "now make sure that you eat six small meals space out over the course of the day, because we all know that helps speed up metabolism and avoid the dreaded 'starvation mode'...ughhhhhhhh
What do you all think?
All right feel free to comment/fire away peeps....and I look forward to hilarious replies that make me laugh out loud....

I'm thinking I'm going to try the Blue Face diet. I eat like I normally do and work out like i normally do, but occasionally hold my breathe afterwords. I paid $100 for a seminar and it seems pretty legit; they had side by side before and after slides during the power point and everything.0

Hi
We humans seem to always find a way to complicate things. Everyone has got an opinion. At the end of the day its what works best for you.

It's kind of funny after awhile. I feel bad for people who really think that fad "diets" are the way to go...0

Ugh this is all I hear at my office. And then they're all like "I lost 13 pounds in 4 days...so...yeah..." doh....0

People are stupid and lazy. These quick fix deals appeal to them. As long as there are idiots, there will be people trying to take their money.0

"There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase often credited to P. T. Barnum (1810–1891), an American showman. Though this phrase is often credited to Barnum, it was actually spoken by a man by the name of David Hannum, who was criticizing both Barnum and his customers.
Yep, that's about the size of it...0 -

I have a friend that is like this, Anything that doesn't include eating well she will try..Skinny me tea was the last one. Basically taking a butt load of laxatives daily..how can that be good for you!0 -

I will agree with the quick fix. but its like take a step back and think it took a loong time to pack on the pounds, it is going to take just as much time if not longer to lose it..
People watch way too much Dr Oz..my mom always has that crap on and is like Dr. oz says bla bla bla ..and I am likd Dr .Oz is a freaking idiot lol0 -

Not always idiots, but desperate people. People who have vacation in a month and need to lose 20 pounds. They're desperate to lose fast, even if/when they know it's not sustainable.0 -
Well since it is a fitness/calorie counter site, the diet threads are inevitable. Also, this sites search tool is pretty useless. I think for the majority of people who are starting these threads (ill give them the benefit of the doubt) are actually using the search feature to no avail and just posting a topic so they can get answers.
However, leading them to right group and right information usually clears up these threads rather quickly. So allow the people who do have the patience to answer these peoples diet questions to answer them effectively and carry on with your day.0 -

That's why I spend all of my money on video games! That'll teach those greedy diet-fad shills from trying to steal my monies!
...It's better to give it to the likes of EA, the worst company in the world.0 -

Counting calories just gets so bo.o.o.o.ring after a while. I love reading gimmicky diet books just to see what people are talking about, and maybe get a new recipe or idea to play around with. Reading about how I should only eat while juggling live snakes over an open pit on the full moon makes me appreciate the simplicity of what I am doing.0

Are these a special kind of weight loss jeans? I could really use some new threads and if they are diet, will they make me look thinner?0

As a "diet" technically refers to what you actually eat, it can apply to any eating patterns advocated for on this site. So, we are all on diets of one variety or another. However, the fad "Diets" that you are referring to, I will agree, are idiotic. Losing weight at its core is very simple: "Eat less (or better, as I prefer to phrase it) and move more!" Problem solved. :bigsmile:0

oh no you don't even go there trying to inject logic into this conversation ...calories in, calories out pffffff please....the only way to lose weight is juggle raspberry ketones over a pit of poisonous snakes for 12 hours, and then blend the ketones with the snake venom and drink for seven days straight..everyone knows that ...0 -

Speaking of Skyrim, Elder Scrolls Online needs to hurry the heck up. I need to give them my money.0 -
I heard that if you only eat what other people buy it's like eating zero calories, because you didn't spend your money on it.
That's what my college roommate did, and she was really skinny. I got fat, because she was eating calories bought with my money, so it was like I was eating them.0 -
man, im so sick of everyone going on about diets. hold up while i go on about people going on about diets.
Exactly.0 -
Actually .... I would quite like to see what you'll do when you explode. So hopefully, there'll be a few more fad diet threads today *hehehehehe*
But seriously, I'm with you - and I'm by no means an expert. But it's clear that none of those fashion diets or magic pills really work long-time, or else we wouldn't be having an obesity crisis the world over.0 -
I don't know about everyone else, but I've been there. On every diet.
A "diet" is simply a way of eating. Most of us weren't brought up on a great "diet" (I grew up eating Twinkies, French fries and pork chops.) Most of us weren't taught how to plan meals, shop, cook.
In countries where food and eating well are big parts of the national culture..and big points of pride (France, e.g.), you don't see our levels of obesity.
It's fun to bash people for their stupidity, but I'm sure that all of us have done something as stupid as the cabbage diet or whatever the diet might be...even if it isn't a diet. We didn't know, we took a leap, we wasted some time and some money (probably) but we learned something.0
