That hormone shot where you only eat 500 calories a day. But it's the HORMONE SHOT that makes you lose weight. Right.....0

I tell my newly fat friends and family that they are getting fat simply because I was always the fat one and it sucks. I grew up with everyone sugar coating it for me so here I am on a fitness site working my *kitten* off to fix things that shouldn't have ever got this bad. So I fully agree with giving someone the tough love.

it's true. butter tastes much better than margarine47Jacqueline wrote: »butter is better than margarine.
ahhh... Fear of artificial sugars for dumb diet tips I guess
exactly, this is not a bad tip. butter is natural. margarine is a chemical or something....not natural, lol
This isn't true of all margarines. There are margarines available that are made from natural ingredients. It's silly to group all margarines together. It's like grouping all soup or pizza or stew together.0 -

Your body goes into starvation mode if you eat too little. Nope.
The Hilton Head Metabolism Diet- you are supposed to exercise for 20 minutes within 20 minutes of a meal to kick up your metabolism- twice a day. Also you ate a low calorie diet for two weeks and then bump up your calories for a week before going to low calories. I did lose 22 pounds in about 2 1/2 months on this, but the low calorie part was VERY low calorie- I mean probably 900 per day and then the bump week was about 1100, so of course I lost weight- it was so low in calories. Of course I slowly gained it all back because who can eat almost nothing forever?0 -

I still can't convince my mother in law that fat is not evil. When she goes on a "diet", they stock up on "low fat" precessed foods, like Snackwell cookies. Not that one can't occasionally enjoy a cookie, but eating more cookies than you normally would because they are "low fat", seems to defeat the purpose.0

This reminds me of a Seinfeld rerun I saw recently where they were eating what they thought was non-fat frozen yogurt. Everyone kept saying "eat all you want, it's non-fat".0 -

This too. My coworker admittedly lives off of McDonald's meals for dinner most nights (sometimes breakfast, too) and she spends a large amount of money on monthly doctor visits & medications for health problems related to her weight, but she "cannot afford" to eat healthier. I almost guarantee I spend half of what she does.
I used to be one of those people but I completely agree that fast food is soooo much more expensive. For me and my bf to get 1 meal at just about any fast food restaurant it costs about 15-20 dollars a meal. Buying food to make at home, which tastes better anyways, usually costs 10 dollars a meal on average unless it's a larger meal. Half the price and sometimes less even0 -
start smoking and diet patches (OMG)0

I just saw this one posted on my Facebook feed. This quack doctor is pushing his "protein shake" that will "force your body into burning fat effortlessly" (which is a crock of ****). SMH, another Dr. Snake Oil.

Stress raises cortisol and cortisol increases belly fat. Relacore reduces cortisol, you need Relacore.
