    IIFYM'ers never eat any vegetables.

    I thought you guys only ate twinkies?

    no it's ice cream/pop tart sandwiches

    You ever try to put a pop tart in your breakfast smoothie?

    I actually prefer toaster strudle and ice cream...pop those babies into the toaster ...toast...add ice cream bam.

    That actually sounds really good lol.

    If it's "natural" it's good for you.

    The large clinical trial showed:

    "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).

    You need to lift in the 10-12 rep range to gain size

    You have to back squat otherwise you are wasting your time.
