What about the typically contrasting advice that cold water burns calories cuz your body works harder to warm up, and hot water melts fats because it prevents cogulation of fatty deposits and aids detox in oily foods in digestion?
TOO MUCH ADVICE!
Does that mean we should drink water that's just below tepid, so we can get a median of both effects? Or does that mean they're both negated? Do the antioxidants in the green tea change the freezing temp of the water, and if so will that mean we have to adjust the temperature of the water further? Decisions decisions!0 -
Too funny.
Several years ago I tried green tea, bought a box on a whim, I had heard things, magical things...
The tea bags ended up tossed in drawers and used as sachets. I love tea but I did not like green tea at all!

All good questions that need to be worked into your book so you have something to talk about while doing the talk show circuit. If you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with BS. A fool and his money is soon parted so you might as well gather it.

Good idea... all we need then is to throw in some stuff about anti-oxidants and anti-radicals and dihydrogen oxide being an excellent product for the body to help expel dem toxins that make you hold on to your belly fat.
@Alatariel75 I think a book idea is in order. Then all we need is a desperate celeb with too many debts to be a spokesperson.0 -

Not a bad idea, although I hear she only takes her green tea with vodka. Maybe Alicia Silverstone? She only did like 3 movies, so she's gotta be available and she's all about dem ebil toxins.0 -
You know if you'd have drunk it under a full moon that your whole body would have been detoxed and cleansed too right?0

The other thing we'll need is the before and after pics kindly donated from people on the site. Or those newspaper pictures like they use for the fatblaster ads.0 -

I noticed when I tell people that I exercise every day and then I eat less or I eat better things like 2 cups of spinach instead of 2 cups of sesame chicken there are shocked or their disappointed or they say oh you'll never keep the weight off that way... But if I make something funny up everybody wants to try it. Lately I've been losing weight again and people have been remarking about it to shut them up I told him that chasing down the animals to sacrifice to Satan is a lot of calories burned! Obviously they know I'm joking but it's not funny they get upset and they don't bother me about my diet again0

I love correlation =/= causation graphs!
Inverse though it may be, my favourite is always going to be that the decrease of piRRRRates on the open seas correlates to the increase in the average global temperature

I approve of 110% of the graphs in this thread0

ha! I love this post!
Back in the day, someone told me to drink 9 (!!!!!) cups of green tea a day to lose weight....urgh!0 -

My favorite responses I've gotten when I tell people I count calories to lose weight:
"I count calories."
"Oh I tried that... but i would eat 1200 calories a day and not lose anything."
and my recent favorite:
"How do you count calories?"
"Well I weigh every single thing I eat."
"Oh... that's too much... I would rather be fat."0 -

Aw man, when I was at Uni, Wednesdays I had a tute that finished at 1, then a philosophy class that started at 5. The Uni bar happened to have a deal on Wednesdays where you got 2 shots of Vodka and a can of Red Bull for $6. I think you were supposed to share it with a friend or something - we used to just put the lot into a pint glass. Nary a sober philosophy class occurred.0 -
I love you so hard right now...0

Sisters from another mister! Same thing here, but Mondays. Had lectures until 12pm, then an evening tute that started at 7pm (all other times clashed with my practical labs). Archaeology tutes were always interesting through a beer goggle gaze.
Does this count as hijacking the thread? I'm sure we were talking about tea.... Is there tea flavoured vodka? Could we market that instead?0 -

Of there totally is! Jerimiah Weed, Sweet Tea Vodka -

This was hilarious. Congrats on your weight loss.
I think we should all start saying that wine is our secret and make the office a little bit more fun.0
