DIE DIE DIE!!!

1200 calories.

But its SO hard for me to even reach the 1200 every day! What should I eat?!

That you must eat every 4 hours...6 small meals a day to "boost your metabolism." So, are you supposed to wake up in the middle of the night to eat??
No thanks, Intermittent Fasting, FTW!!

How about that "corset training" is a good idea? ... Especially in the gym.

When people say that muscle weighs more than fat.

NO, IT DOESN'T!!!! 1kg of muscle weighs EXACTLY THE SAME as 1kg of fat, it's the surface area that is the difference!!!! BAH!

If you took a cubic inch of fat and a cubic inch of muscle, the muscle would way more because it is more dense. Technically muscle does way more that fat. If someone said a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat then they would be wrong.

I hate when people say you shouldn't eat wheat.

Me too, glutin is not devils food. Get off that soapbox unless you have Celiac disease.

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.

What happened to number 4?

I will respectfully disagree on number 3. I had one for 7 years and he did wonders for me.


The one I would like to see go away isn't a myth. Its the OP who keeps creating new profiles every couple of days and posts a dozen or so times in about 10 minutes selling Tarot card reading or other nonsense. Its the same post copy and pasted over and over. The title always includes the international calling number. And he/she always shows up around midnight EST in the US.

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.

I know this is off topic, but the idea of "shoving a double espresso up your ***" reminds me of beer chicken. Now I have this image of somebody doing some sort of bizarre sweat detox all while flavoring his/her innards with a starbucks venti mocha latte.

The wine I am drinking.

But if your chiropractor was administering anything akin to physical therapy, you were really just doing something akin to physical therapy.

Or it's placebo.

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.

Can't you make a few more educational posts on here? I'd like to .. read them.. :laugh:

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.

Regardless of good or bad, you're basically seeing a chiropractor for physical therapy. Fine if you want to see a chiropractor for that, however, I'd rather see a licensed physical therapist whose practice is based on science-based medicine. I'm aware that chiropractors have their own licensing requirements in many cases, but I trust that as much I would trust a licensed psychic for making financial or relationship decisions.

Or if you flip it on its head, PTs are like Chiros without the ability to adjust and less school. I'd much rather go to a good Chiro than a PT when my back is out, I can do exercises on my own thank you, just move that area I can't! PTs just don't fill the same shoes, no relief vs significant relief after Chiropractic adjustment in my case several times. For school, Chiros have more training and school hours in radiology and nutrition than MDs even. But just like MDs some of them hold strange ideas...and I'm sure NOBODY has heard of Dr. Oz.... I sympathize with the perception though, I've seen some off the wall stuff from some Chiros. You need to do the work and find a good one...or you get situations just like with my MDs who missed conditions I had that my Chiro caught and sent me to the right specialist, definitely changed my life...

WTF??? Are you serious? Are you accusing me of being a spammer?? Please explain.

I don't think the poster meant you.

She didn't, there is somebody about once or twice a week that post about finding love, lost love and tarot card readings. I swear once he was the majority of my feed. Grrrrrrrrr! He's always reported but comes back with a different account

Exactly. Thank you Stephanie

And yes I acknowledge the post I referred to are not health or fitness related. Just simply posts I don't want to see. And they come back over and over and over...

To stay on topic I would say the idea that you must eat clean in order to lose weight.

protein

Want some?

The wording is a bit weird...

I absolutely did not mean you

Sorry, English was not my best class in school.
