    The large clinical trial showed:

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2014/06/05/skipping-breakfast-may-not-be-so-bad-for-weight-loss-study-finds/

    "In the new study, dieters who ate breakfast lost no more weight than people who skipped breakfast. But keep in mind that the study only looked at weight outcomes – not at any other aspect of health, like cardiovascular or metabolic health. So, the take-home message is that skipping breakfast may be OK for weight loss, but how it affects health overall is still up for grabs."

    right, you said "skipping breakfast is a terrible idea" - it is, for a lot of people!

    Clean eating is a term that has a single meaning ...no it isn't, and it isn't a weight loss diet either, just a philosophy
    Paleo is based on how are ancestors eat...nope, they didn't, you made it up to sell books
    Detoxes work...name a single toxin
    All calories are not created equal...yes they are, it's a unit of frickin' measurement and is by definition a rule
    Your fat has converted to muscle ...no that's not what happens, and even in spirit not easily and not in a defecit unless you are new to lifting or a teenage boy
    My genes made me fat...nope, your lifestyle did

    When it made in the context of a blanket statement, which it often is - then it is an incorrect statement (as blanket statements invariably are).
