    Due to my height, weight, lifestyle (I'm a student so I spend most of the day sitting in class or in a library) I would definitely gain weight on 2,000 calories. Just because the average woman needs 2,000 calories doesn't mean all women need it!

    A coworker have started with these shakes and soups, which comes in these small portion packets and is powder mixed in water. It is insanely expensive and I honestly think it smells like vomit. And she is supposed to live on these things for 3 weeks. I would die if I could not eat anything fresh for that long.

    Worst thing I think she'll get a discount if she recruit more people, so she is trying to sell it to us like crazy. My food budget is about $50 a week, I'm not spending $100 for a weeks worth of horrible powder.

    At work, we have a lot of really thin Asian ladies. They claim by drinking hot water with their meals, that it melts the fat in their bodies to help stay thin.

    Someone told me this, but threw in that adding lemon juice does even more and you can pretty much pee the fat out.

    My step-mother was on diet where she could only eat tuna, boiled eggs, and plain coffee or tea for 5 days out of the week and on the weekends she could have what ever she wanted. Needless to say she didn't lose any weight.

    Recently, a friend told me I should only run on an empty stomach. When I mentioned I have low blood pressure, and would pass out, she replied "Oh, your body adjusts after a few weeks!"

    OMG. We must work at the same place. My coworkers did this too. I think it was supposed to be some kind of keto thing. I caught them in the ladies room and they were peeing on these litmus looking sticks to see if they were in ketosis or something. Very weird. A week later one of the passed out at a customer meeting from starving herself.

    If you only cut out sodas you will lose all the weight you want. You might lose the first 10 from not drinking sodas but that will be it unless you exercises and diet. Also every stupid commercial saying if you shake this over your food you will lose weight.

    Zero calorie or negative calorie foods, like celery. Sure, the calories are low, but it still counts!

    My own Mother who has yo-yo dieted for as long as I can remember is back on Weight Watchers. That's totally cool, I know it works for people. I hate that I keep being told MFP is too time consuming (i.e. weighing and logging, I may not be consistent but I do see results and it's free). Also that if I would just give up whole milk, whole sour cream, whole cheeses, etc., etc., etc. and only eat no fat/low fat/free substitutes, I would never have to worry about portion sizes or weighing or logging.

    Avoid protein shakes, since they make you fat. For real, it's ONLY the protein shakes that made this woman gain weight, not the KFC, McDonald's, ice cream, cakes, etc that she was eating.
