    @galgenstrick Wow, so many excellent contributions!

    Thanks, and thanks everyone.

    Lol, I've seen pretty much all of them circulating the forums over the past few months. Should have started a spreadsheet and I probably could have listed a lot more!

    :smiley: If you think of any more, please add them. Thanks heaps, again.

    You'll die if you don't eat carbs, and even if you don't die, you can never exercise ever again.
    If you do LC and ever eat carbs again, you'll gain back all the weight you lost, which was all water weight, all 50 or 100 lbs of it.
    LC'ers never eat any fruit
