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

    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.

    I'd add some health myths as well, since these are all pseudo medicine and woo.

    01. Oil Pulling
    02. Homeopathy
    03. Chiropractic
    05. Feng Shui
    06. Naturopathy
    07. Pretty much all "Eastern Medicine"
    08. Acupuncture
    09. Chelation "Therapy"
    10. The Pro-Disease, anti-vaccination crowd of celebs like Jenny McCarthy

    All of that is crap and in some cases dangerous.

    1) To lose weight you must eat three square meals a day - I'm screwed then, my plates are round.

    2) Eating after 8pm will cause you to gain weight (I try not to because I have a hiatus hernia and can't lie down for hours after eating and that is the ONLY reason I try to avoid eating late).

    3) You MUST eat breakfast - you CAN'T possibly avoid breakfast, the first thing you eat in the day has broken the fast ergo you have had a breakfast.

    4) Aspartame is poisonous - boll*ck is it, if it was, do you seriously think it would be allowed into our food chain!?!

    5) Eating clean - have you seen my food dairy and have you seen my ticker, I'm losing weight and body fat but I love McDonald's and I work in a curry house and get free food.

    I could go on, but I simply can't be bothered now.....

    Partially agree, although I think chiropractors can be really bad or really good. Depends on the person you see, since I had a chiropractor who I realized was basically a scam artist, but now I have a chiropractor who actually figured out the reason for my migraines which countless specialists and head scans couldn't figure out. He's taught me ways of keeping my joints aligned myself so my chronic pain is better.

    Another health myth I'd nuke from orbit just to be sure: BPA makes children fat and everything else that's blamed on it. That whole fracas was a case of sensationalism and misunderstanding before the truth had a chance in "putting on its shoes."
    "Among white kids and teens, higher BPA levels were associated with more than twice the risk of obesity. With black and Hispanic youth, though, BPA levels didn't make a difference."

    "Also, there's no way in this study to know whether BPA is actually causing kids to put on weight, says Frederica Perera, who directs the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health. "Obese children may be simply eating and drinking foods that have higher BPA levels," she says."
    http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/09/18/161340024/link-between-bpa-and-childhood-obesity-is-unclear

    Another case of correlation vs. causation. The evidence just isn't clear at this point if in fact BPA is indeed the boogyman, but since humans are wired for selection bias, a study like this that shows the contrary will hardly get any traction.

    I kept all my BPA bottles and use them still when I am in the gym.
