    Ha agreed. I can definitely tell the difference between hunger and thirst. If i chug down a whole heap of water, then I'll just be hungry AND sloshy.

    I'm with you as well. Sometimes, I'm equally hungry and thirsty and all I want is fruit. Because it's two birds, one stone.

    Eating past 7pm = The devil.
    Eating anything non-healthy = The devil.
    Not eating breakfast = The devil.

    There are others, but these stick out to me the most.

    I wouldn't call that a myth, but it's definitely context/goal driven. "Better" for what?

    Losing weight, if you actually push yourself and not do *kitten* weights

    Saw this today.
    Sugar will rob your mitochondria of all energy. Your body runs more efficiently off of fat which is why we store body fat and not body sugar!!! Sugar is also a neurotoxin.

    If you rub Cayenne pepper on your forehead, your muscles will grow.

    You burn more calories sunbathing than you do in the sauna.

    If you do 10 push ups three times a day ...you can have a candy bar in the evening and still lose weight (this one actually works...but only if the candy bar is your only meal of the day)
