    When I hear, "Muscle weighs more than fat". Really?!? If we're discussing density, that's different, but if we're talking simply about which one weighs more....uuuuuugghhh!!!! 16 ounces of chocolate weighs EXACTLY THE SAME as 16 ounces of chicken breast.

    When I hear muscle weighs more, I swear I start to twitch!

    "starvation mode" as commonly used on MFP where a body will somehow gain fat/weight in the short term from too large of a deficit doesn't even rise to the level of a myth .... it is an out right lie. Metabolic adaptation is a long term process where the body loses lean mass resulting in a lowered ability to burn calories at rest. Two very different concepts.

    Diet soda encourages hunger/binges. (At least not for me.)

    "Don't drink cow or soy milk, the estrogen will make women gain weight/fat and we already have more than enough estrogen."

    "No ethnic foods, you won't be able to lose weight if you eat ethnic food."

    Can I eat back my calories burnt while arguing?

    Everything behind Healthy and Every Size... No. You cannot be morbidly obese and be healthy. It's just not medically possible.

    Or maybe that whole thing about frequent fasting, or whatever. Unless you have labwork tomorrow, eat balanced every day. Please and thank you.

    you wouldn't lose weight eating five snickers a day due to the fat and sugar content alone! The calories are irrelavent in this instance you would also be extremely hungry which would have an impact on your metabolism why do people live and die by this calorie deficit rule its insane

    She's right. Right on! We should be friends.

    For some reason, I find diet cola is a strong diuretic. Do you get that? Certainly don't get binges either.

    Fasting is good as a spiritual discipline, so don't knock it.
