    I drink green tea mixed with lemon, cayenne pepper and apple cider vinegar while snacking on green coffee beans. It's the equivalent of doing hours of cardio.

    Oh wow. I totally missed this too. If it's the equivalent of doing hours of cardio..then that means I don't have to exercise AT ALL and can eat ALL THE FOODZ!

    Good to know.

    WELL I totally give up lol some have agreed, most have not. I was born 12/01/1994 and have never lied or changed my birthday so I suppose out of everything put on here, that was the most ridiculous. This is just what worked for me and I feel a lot of you are bothered because it's more extreme than just cutting down on calorie consumption. But again, this is just what worked for me. It's FINE if you don't want to do it, I never said this was the only way to lose weight. You people seriously need to relax and back off my age, sorry I wasn't born sooner??? I have no idea lol anyway sorry I was just trying to help, sheesh, this site is more discouraging than helpful for me. Again, none of my tips are harmful if you do decide to try it so stop attacking me as if I was putting anyone in danger. If any of tips had the possibility of being dangerous to someone, I'm sure they would recognize that immediately and not attempt it. Okay? OK.

    I totally understand now...you are the same age as my man child aka son...I get it now....

    Everyone we need to just

    Anyone born in 1994 seems to have it all under control....

    ?? i'm so over people focusing on my age. so sorry I'm young, sorry you're old. these are just tips that worked for me. I lost 60 lbs and no matter my age that's a pretty big accomplishment.

    Advisory on Green Tea - I have hypothyroidism and must take a synthyroid every morning. I replaced my coffee with Green Tea one morning - within an hour, I had bad shakes and nausea. Green Tea can react with synthyroid medication (I don't think everyone has the reaction - it is a case of each individual.)

    Otherwise, thanks for the tips. I may or may not follow them.

    I have a friend that cannot drink Green Tea since she was diagnosed with a blood clot and was on warfarin or something like that. Sounds life dangering to me.

    That is rare I'm assuming and like I stated, if someone sees a tip that they know is going to harmful to them then they would obviously take the precaution in not following it.

    Or you can keep your "helpful tips" to your self until you've done a bit more research. Maybe you could have avoided a little less of this backlash. Whatevs. I suspect you will continue defending this ridiculousness until you ragequit.

    Wow - I can't believe some of your posts with regard to Paulaah advice with regard to losing weight, it's very harsh. It's her opinion and she is giving it based on her body type, experience and that's ok. The weight lost industry has been feeding us with lots of false claims which millions of people are happy to sign up and pay for, so can people please put something more productive comments on how they have lost weight to someone beginning their journey instead of attacking MFP members.

    Many thanks.

    nope

    just so everyone doesn't jump on me for this, I did not post this. that was another member. I know no drink will give you the equivalent of doing hours of cardio.

    I don't believe recommending to drink green tea is harmful. if everyone took into account every single disease in the world before posting something, there would be nothing left. people with celiac disease and gluten allergies have such strict diets it's not even funny.

    Well that was called for. And you think you of all people should be giving others advice? I think not.

    her comment was not in any way less disrespectful than my own. her attempt to patronize me for being young was just as childish but okay.

    1. Yes they have lost weight but this does not mean they are healthy and I'm sure they had to REDUCE the amount of these processed foods SIGNIFICANTLY to achieve this.
    2. It is not irrelevant at all and I am living proof. It is not NECESSARY but helpful.
    3. IVE ALREADY STATED that this has worked for me and might work for others who haven't tried it but are stuck. It is proven that small meals throughout the day is more beneficial to ones metabolism than 3 large meals. It does not make a HUGE difference but it can take someone to that next level.
    5. Green tea helps diffuse bloating around the stomach area. Not kill fat, you're right but reduce bloating and flush out toxins that usually accumulate around that area.

    Name a toxin, any toxin that the green tea will flush from your system.
    :laugh:

    Okay, *now* I'm in...

    ...to see if this has been responded to yet.

    And so my righteous and noble quest continues...

    http://www.greenteaearth.com/2010/11/02/green-tea-for-cleansing-your-body-from-toxins/

    do I win? it's in the 2nd paragraph.

    Despite being an opinion without a single reference, I still didn't see the name of a single toxin that is cleansed/detoxed with this beverage that isn't otherwise eliminated normally.

    So no, you don't win...

    ...and my quest continues.

    to be fair, if we can call her young, she can call us old. i don't find being older than someone to be an insult, just a statement of facts. there's a trillion other reasons she shouldn't be giving advice tho, like the fact that she doesn't know what she's talking about, regardless of age.

    but yeah, i was young and thought i had all the answers at one time too. looking back, i was just lucky and dumb

    I am sooo sorry that any of you would be that offended by me trying to post tips that are not harmful at all that could make a difference in someone's health and weight loss goals and then go as far as saying that I was forcing them on anyone when I was just trying to offer TIPS. Seriously, I was just trying to help so I have no idea how it even got to this point.

    Don't worry about it :flowerforyou: The haters are going to hate regardless of what you say. They don't like hearing what has worked for others which is just fine. Let them struggle on. Congrats that you have found what works for you!

    eh old is all relative...being 40 isn't old...means I was 19 once and thought I knew it all too...that's why I have a 20 year old now...

    Don't be sorry I wouldn't trade my last 20 years for your first 20...

    If those tips worked so well then why did you hit a plateau and why are you developing an ED...???? see this is what age gives you..

    I just caught up with this and I'm wondering the same thing. Because this reads to me as:

    1. Lose weight with diet with all sorts of weird restrictions that have no basis in science as being helpful to weight loss beyond personal adherence.

    2. Weight loss stops, develop eating disorder from either backlash against weird restrictions or need to be more restrictive to get weight loss started again.

    OP, please get help. It's very possible that the tips you are giving out may have contributed to your ED.

    I have a liver in my body that does a great job of "eliminating toxins"- I don't need special tea to do it for me.

    Your liver may not be working at optimal level. There are a wide range of drugs and toxic chemicals (ingested, airborn, absorption) that can affect how well your liver is working. Most commonly, both alcohol and acetaminophen are hepatotoxic. Unless you have had a liver panel screen done, you don't know if your liver is doing a great job eliminating toxins and even then, it is only working to that level at the time of the test.

    Im happy you all eat processed sugary/salty foods and still manage to lose weight. You all must be so proud. I will stick with my organic non-GMO, unrefined lifestyle and teas as I up my exercise regime and see what happens.

    There is nothing at all wrong with your methods! They will get you into a lot less trouble than some of the other methods tooted here.

    Your liver may not be working at optimal level.

    Magic green tea to the rescue?
