    "Everybody is different".

    Yeah, I'll jump on that one.

    When people ask for "advice" (read:validation) on an unsustainable diet then call everyone mean and haters for giving them sensible advice.

    This is a pet peeve of mine but I don't think it's specific to this website.

    I don't think I have been here long enough to ***** about things that people say on the forum.

    One day is long enough. You qualify. Welcome.

    But, +1

    I hate when people think muscle and fat weigh the same and spew "A pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle"

    A pound of the Empire State Building weighs the same as a pound of feathers...so the Empire State Building and feathers weigh the same?

    I dislike it when people are craving something, and ask for a healthy replacement and posters say, just eat what you are craving. Isn't that what got us here in the first place?

    Not necessarily. I had gained twenty pounds since Christmas eating too much of the (and only) "right, clean, organic, healthy" foods. Now I eat whatever I want, take a multivitamin, and log everything.

    If they log ounces it means they are not being accurate. Typically ounces are "guesses" based on what I have seen.




    Ummm....my scale at home has an 'ounce' setting. So how is that not accurate?

    "the reason you aren't losing weight is because you don't weigh EVERYTHING you TOUCH gram for gram and you don't BACKFLIP 7 TIMES and THANK THE ELDRITCH POWERS THAT BE for your BOUNTIFUL HARVEST before eating."

    like seriously, sometimes people here are just doing too much.

    Even though it does increase appetite, it also increases the rate at which fat is stored in the body (from the cortisol) and changes where it is stored.

    Beyond that, most patients are not given the information that it increases appetite, only that weight gain on them is normal. So, if you're not already counting calories, it's an easy thing to miss.

    Also, increased appetite isn't something to dismiss as a side effect. People who are trying to lose weight are most likely already struggling with hunger. If you increase that exponentially, it's highly problematic.

    Technically, you just agreed with Stef and proved her point.

    Some medications increase your appetite. They don't add magic calories from nothing... You still put the food in your mouth.

    It's already been covered but the statement "muscles weighs more than fat" does not bother me. It's the unnecessary replies to correct that person even if it has no impact on the topic. Everyone knows what people mean when someone says muscle weighs more than fat.

    "Your body detoxes itself..."

    Agreed! If the body detoxed itself then we would be seeing no effects of environmental pollutants and ingested pollutants like BPA and mercury on the human body. Obviously even if the body can detox itself it cannot do so without the toxin doing some kind of damage during the process of elimination.

    Meh. It's not a completely inaccurate statement that the body can't detoxify itself. Your immune, respitory, and excretory system all are efficient at removing or keeping out SOME toxins. The liver is an amazing detoxifier but I agree damage can be done when it is overloaded.

    People who think lead and hydrogen weigh the same.

    Sooooooo...which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?

    "It's not a DIET it's a lifestyle change". Haaaaaaaaha. Lol

    ^^^This!
    Who gives a crap what you call it. You hopefully won't be eating on a deficit your whole life.
    Also. Eating any food is a diet. Whether it's a "protein rich" diet or some other thing. So much this.
    Also... girls asking if their boobs will shrink. Time to stop worrying ladies, you'll look how you'll look. Just get healthy.

    this is gonna turn into a *kitten* storm...why...

    because meds don't cause weight gain
    and people with 20lbs or less shouldn't aim for 2lbs a week
    and the sexypants link shoudl be required reading
    Sugar is sugar...cupcake or watermelon
    it is as simple as cico...we never said it was easy just simple
    special snowflakes is valid thing here just visit the threads where people just can't lose and are doing everything right.
    carbs are carbs

    it will fit honest

    what bugs me the most those is when people "claim" to weigh everything..."I swear I do with 100% accuracy" and you go to their diary and what is weighed is in ounces and most things are logged in cups or each etc...

    edited for type..."shouldn't" added..

    Haha you are so beyond ignorant saying meds don't cause weight gain.

    Says the faceless stranger on the internet that has yet to find one that does...I am willing to concede that point as soon as one is found that does not list "changes in appetite" as a side effect.

    Good god. Just because one side effect of a medication is "changes in appetite", that doesn't mean EVERY patient taking the medication experiences that one side effect.

    P.s. I don't get how your statement of "says the faceless stranger on the internet" matters….

    1200 calories means you are not eating enough. (This is usually said by people for whom it IS true... but it isn't rue for everybody, especially not mine.) GRRRRRRR!
