    It's probably not the safest advice to give an unfit person who's never lifted, since it can lead to overtraining or injuries. I'm guilty of using the phrase, but i'm trying to replace it with "follow a good program". Good programs explain the proper progression from light to heavy.
    I'mma just gon' validate them, and tell them to stay on the couch.

    The one that is driving me crazy and I never hope to hear again: "Starvation mode."

    Agreed

    "loose" as in I want to "loose weight". It's lose not loose! Fourth Graders can figure it out, why can't adults?

    Real women have.... (this needs to go.) We're all real women.

    Some of us might be cyborgs actually.

    Fun fact, did you know that any person with artificial parts is technically a cyborg (not saying they aren't still human. They are.)? So people with say, a pacemaker or a prosthetic eye or arm would be cyborgs. If I ever need something like that at least I will be able to take some solace in the fact that I'm now an awesome cyborg.

    Though I suppose then we're both real women and real cyborgs.

    WAIT, some people are real men...

    ...

    This thread is fun.

    I have a bionic leg (titanium tibial spike and 4 large titanium screws, which sets off ALL the metal detectors). Am I no longer a "real woman"? ;)

    "Lift heavy"

    why?

    It's probably not the safest advice to give an unfit person who's never lifted, since it can lead to overtraining or injuries. I'm guilty of using the phrase, but i'm trying to replace it with "follow a good program". Good programs explain the proper progression from light to heavy.

    Anyway, moving on...

    "Stomach", when referring to "belly". The stomach is higher, up near the ribs.

    "Lean protein" - protein is, by definition, lean. "Lean protein sources" is probably a better term.

    "I NEED HELP!!!" - I check to make sure they're not having a medical emergency, then i click the back button.

    A "terrible problem" with having only 4-pack abs, having one calf 1/4 inch larger than the other, or similar first-world problem that no else notices.

    B)

    I usually always preface it by saying learn proper form and I would suggest watching videos and reading x book …

    "I can't afford to eat healthy/health food is SO expensive". This gets me every time. Rubbish--just eat LESS than you used to; that always costs less money.

    This gets me too!!! It actually cost less or near the same to eat health BC like you said.... Your eating LESS

    What is real food? Do people eat fake foods? Like the wax fruit sitting out for decoration? Does unprocessed mean I can't have milk (it's been processed)? What about bread? And what's wrong with canned food? Most veggies I eat have been canned. Does that add calories?

    "Eating close to the earth" makes me think of someone hunkered down in a garden eating a carrot with the dirt still on it.

    It just gets old hearing "processed food" touted as evil.

    "Don't eat processed food!"
    Why the hostess cupcake not??? If I have the calories to afford a pack of Oreos I'm gonna eat 'em!

    Detox and "calorie counting doesn't work for me" make me cringe every time! I don't really mind people who use the term "journey." It always triggers views of Middle Earth and The Shire for me. ;)

    "Do or do not. There is no try."

    I love me some Yoda, but trying is doing. I'm on the treadmill trying to do a 5K. I can't do a 5K on the spot. I get what people are trying to say, it's just so so tired.
