What are the top fitness/nutrition myths you would like to straight up murder?

Mine:
1. Spot reduction/toning
2. Carbs are bad and evil like satan
3. Cleanse/detox. My favourite is the coffee enema because we all know shoving a double espresso up your *kitten* will totally clean your liver.

    Everything that you said. I'd expand on the first one, though.

    1. Cardio for "toning"
    1200 calories.

    No eating after 8p.m.

    Calories can't tell time.

    LMFAO! mine are
    1. sugar/fat/carbs is evil
    2.sit ups/ crunches will get me abs ( a woman actually told me this the other week, her ' bodybuilding . husband. Who incidentally has no abs on display, had told her this, and I was wrong for thinking reducing my body fat will help to display them!)
    3. I don't want to do weights, i'll get too bulky.

    I wore an HRM and it said I burned 8430 calories while gardening in my back yard. Do you think it's accurate?

    I heard my boss (and bear in mind we help people who want to make some lifestyle changes and start down the losing weight/get fitter road, so she really should know better) tell a client that if she stopped exercising 'her muscle would turn to fat'! What?? Um....no!!

    1. You need breakfast
    2. Artificial sweeteners are going to make you fat
    3. The perceived level of cleanliness of food is what is important for weightloss

    My favourite one I heard recently:

    Female lifters can avoid getting bulky by using a narrow grip.

    If you've gained 5 pounds in a week it's probably muscle. :sad:

    I wish!

    1. Gaining muscle while in a consistent calorie deficit.
    2. That consumption of any particular food directly increases weight loss.

    Haha I don't like being told to eat breakfast.

    Isn't going to happen.

    ETA: Unless it's weekend brunch, than it's on. But breakfast and brunch are not the same.
