in Health and Weight Loss
I've already posted this once... but apparently I was too harsh and got my post deleted. So I'll tone it down.

I keep reading post after post after post about piss poor dieting and weight loss tips and fads. When are you people going to get it. There is no short cuts. At all. NONE. None of the fad diets are sustainable!

If you want to have a sustainable, FIT and healthy body, you have to put in the work. NOTHING ELSE Works except for hard work, sweat, commitment, dedication, proper nutrition and more hard work. NOTHING.

No matter how many times people lose weight and gain it all back again with unhealthy fad diets, THEY KEEP DOING IT, and then trying the next one!!!!!!

Here's a few tips:
Starving yourself doesn't work.
"Fat Cleansers" don't work.
Filler diets (Stuffing yourself with special fillers so you aren't hungry) don't work.
Diet pills don't work.
"Eat anything you want" diets don't work.
"5 Minutes a day" exercises don't work.
No Carb diets don't work.
Diet salts don't work.
Pre-Packaged meals don't work.
Stomach Stapling doesn't work.


You might see short term losses using some of these methods, but you won't be healthier, and its not LONG term sustainable.

There is no shortcuts, there's no compromising. You wanna be healthy and have the body you dream of? Put in the damn work. If you AREN'T going to put in the work, don't come whining on the boards about not losing weight. It's your own fault.

I know it sounds cliche, but this REALLY IS a life change. You are changing everything about the way you see and treat food and your health.

P.S. Yes, this is toned down.

    Bump!

    I lost 42 lbs so far by good old fashioned HARD WORK and counting EVERYTHING I eat (and cutting down on the things that are bad for me)

    I support this post!

    Sounds like MFP isn't for you! OR maybe you just need to not read people's posts and let it get to you so bad. You need to learn that people are always looking for the easy way out--nothing you can do about it! Don't let these people ruin your day!

    I just said this on another topic:


    There are no shortcuts. Just change your diet and exercise.

    - Eat a moderate calorie deficit.
    - Eat whole foods most of the time
    - Exercise (cardio and strength train) 3-4 times per week.

    This will work for everyone with no negative side effects.

    agreed! and to all those lazy people who want to take a pill to lose weight? did they take one to get fat? probably not... so it isnt coming off that way either! don't be worried about all the time that you will have to put in to loosing weight- the time will pass any way, the only question is if you want to spend that time on your *kitten* and miserable or do you want to spend that time bettering your life and your body?? GREAT POST! :)

    Awesome

    people who lose any sort of weight on fad diets and starving themselves should remember : easy come, easy go. Hardwork and dedication are the only things that work

    You don't believe in the cupcake diet or the bacon one either? Or the I do everything right and don't lose a pound diet?

    You said it the right way. In your face to the point. Love it.
