    I will add other factors later .

    Do we get points if we can guess them beforehand? My guesses are:

    1. Eating sugar will stop you losing weight.
    2. Always eat breakfast as soon as you wake up to kick-start your metabolism.
    3. Juice cleanses are great for removing toxins from your body.
    4. A teaspoon of cinnamon everyday helps shred fat.

    You forgot "starvation mode"

    Now let's all adhere to OPs advice, and wear our it works wraps while only eating low fat, clean organic food.

    5. Oil pulling will help you lose weight, remove toxins and makes an excellent substitute for brushing your teeth.

    6. You must eat every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism working
    7. Weight lifting will bulk you up and not make you look thin. Cardio is best.
  • 1 and 2 are wrong. I lost a lot of weight when i was actually only eating dinner and a snack in the evenings.

    My cats lost their fluff with good old CICO and a food scale, just like their dad :smile: No diet foods or grass cleanses!

    Hi everyone .
    Although my low calories diet I kept gaining weight , I was pretty sure something is going wrong.
    I knew that it is not about food or exercises only but must be hidden facts... After researching couple articles I found out must know informations that I would like to share with you people.
    Factors that don't help loose weight are:
    1- eating more than 400 cal at dinner or before sleep is converted into body fat( due to lack secretion of insulin at that time.
    2- eating carb at nights .
    3- life stress might be bad during diet cz it helps our body to gain weight due to certain Hormone secretion like Cortisol.
    4- less sleeping , if you sleep you don't eat, your body secrete hormones that burns your body sugar etc.
    5- Sex by itself doesn't play a big role in loosing calories .
    6- if you are taking certain kind of medications
    What do you thing about that ?!
    I will add other factors later .

    I eat more than 400 calories for dinner and before sleep. I eat carbs at night. I have a low rate of body fat. You must just be a freak.

    True, but you can trust my dog .. he is all-knowing

    My dog gives amazing diet advice! "If you feed that to me instead of eating it, you will totally lose weight." The cat, however, is shady as all get out.

    The factors aren't true. Why not just ask for help and advice? If what you're doing isn't working, change what you're doing. Don't go looking for excuses.
