...and a medical expert :huh: The number of times I've read "your doctor is an idiot"/"your doctor doesn't know what s/he's talking about".... How arrogant - and irresponsible - do you have to be to think you know better than a doctor?!?#123 Everyone who has been on MFP for more than a day suddenly becomes a nutrition and fitness expert

Yes! Because you know... doctors know everything!!

Losing weight has made me an expert in weight loss, nutrition and health.
Mockery is equivalent to evidence.0 -

Fortunately, to counter this, medical school makes every doctor a nutrition and fitness expert too.0 -
Love #3. I have such odd feelings about my body changing. Like I cried over the face that my toes were not all fat looking anymore. I could not handle that for like a good half hour. It was strange. Could have also just been PMS, LOL
So true.
I really don't much like that when I sit on a hard seat I don't have the extra padding now and I have to stand because it hurts.0 -
No, doctors don't know everything but they tend to know a little bit more about medicine and human biology that Mr or Mrs. Read-a-few-articles-on-the-internet-so-now-I'm-an-expert :-/ I'm not talking about nutritional/weight-loss advice per se, but I once saw an internet 'expert' here, tell another diabetic member to reduce their insulin, with the view of cutting it put completely :noway: That kind of medical 'advice'.

Exactly! I'd take a doctor's 7 years medical training advice faster than the guy who says "I read this on the internet once". Doctors are not always right but the odds are good that they might have a good idea of what's what.0 -
I believe that MFP is in cahoots with various clothing manufacturers. As I dropped weight, I had to go out and buy new clothes. I think the clothing industry gives a kickback to MFP.
GOSH I loved this. THIS is a conspiracy theory, people! hahahahaha :laugh:

Someone citing whatever blog as proof against doctors orders is definitely eye-roll inducing. But, to be fair, most doctors aren't as expertly-versed in nutrition as people seem to think. Doctors can also be completely wrong, depending on their views, how they keep up on medical knowledge, etc. Or even just on mistakes. A bad day. They're too tired. Etc. They can miss something, misspeak, etc.0 -

GAWD, I'm such an instigator today LOL0 -

#4 MFP is a thinly veiled dating/hook up site.
I had no idea...
So when do you move into independent woman's house and become her new boyfriend? So jealous.
HAHAHA Love this0 -
saying anything that might offend someones delicate sensitivities will get you a strike or two by the mods...
i see strike three coming down the pipe....0 -
No - I need to disagree with you... ;-)No matter what you say, there will be somebody around to disagree with it.
"All you have to do is create a moderate calorific deficit, eat less/ do more"
"No no no no I have a medical condition so this does not work for me"
"Cutting out desserts helped me."
"No no no no, have desserts, I have desserts so you're doing it wrong!"
"I'm weighing and logging everything and the scale hasn't moved for 3 weeks"
"You're not weighing and logging everything."
Sometimes people have a point- say for example accuracy really counts when weighing and logging.
But I am amused and in awe of how there isn't one fact out there that somebody can't argue with (whether they're absolutely correct or a complete loon)
My personal fave is whenever there's a "my weight loss has stalled" topic... the eat more calories camp vs the inaccurate logging/ eat less camp.0 -

I'd be more inclined to agree with you if the hypothetical doctor in this example had more than one basic nutrition course during those seven years. Most doctors seem phenomenal with treating illness but not-always-so-great at optimizing wellness.0 -
