    1) not necessary at all
    2) also completely unnecessary and won't help
    3) pointless
    4) mythical lemon magic is mythical
    5) this is so utterly false and ridiculous I don't think I could properly emphasize just how false it is

    Well it's helped me so maybe you don't know as much as you think

    I'm sure it is other changes you have made that helped you. If you enjoy drinking lemon water or green tea that's fine. If staying away from sweets keeps you on track that works. They aren't necessary for fat loss and none of that boosts your metabolism.

    It has helped you because you are logging your food and eating at a calorie deficit. The calorie deficit is the cause of your weight loss, not hot lemon water woo.

    Wow, can't anyone just say 'well done if that works for you then crack on' on this thing? I thought you guys were meant to be supportive but obviously not.

    Not if you're posting something that is false on a public forum. It should be corrected as others are reading and learning from these threads.

    No, because then others would read your advise, take it and not see the results they want because they're misinformed.

    Sorry, but turning a blind eye in order to stay in happyland doesn't help people. Telling them the truth does.

    Telling people when they're wrong is supportive. You don't want to hear the truth? You're in the wrong neighborhood. If you want green tea and lemon water boost Woo go to facebook.

    Avoiding added sugars can help with a calorie deficit but it isn't necessary. The rest is irrelevant to weight loss. You've still lost by eating less than you burn.

    No. None of this will result in the loss of stomach fat.

    Since the "So you want a nice stomach" thread was written most belly fat posts are a couple of posts long :laugh: I remember the days when they were easily 10 pages.

    I know! That's why I stopped in. I was surprised it was so long.

    Nah, it needed to happen eventually. It's a common question and we needed a reference point for the basics.

    There are lots of things in the world that have needed to happen but didn't happen with near that level of awesome.

    How many pages is the "So you want a nice stomach thread"? They're all still there, you just corralled them--great going, and great information by the way. You are always in the know. Thanks, your story is also awsome.

    I love it when people ask questions in that thread just because I enjoy reading USMCMP's responses.

    I'm surprised by how many people suggest to eat a calorie deficit. This is a very harmful way of attempting to lose weight, mainly because it can never be maintained. Eating in this manner is called "disordered eating", and often known as the "yo-yo diet". If someone needs to lose weight for health reasons, see a dietitian who can help manage a healthy lifestyle through proper eating habits and staying active.

    Right. I don't know how she does it, but always responds willingly to even the most bizzare questions and keeps her cool. And she responds often in her threads. A woman to admire.
