I want to punch this therapist in the face. I understand saying reduce your intake throughout the week, but binge implies so much more.150poundsofme wrote: »A therapist told me I should diet for 5 days and then binge for two.6 -
My junior at work just yesterday said "drinking water helps flush the adipose liquid that is on our bellies"...I preferred to ask none about this obscure "adipose liquid".17

Cutting out sweets can be helpful in the beginning. I couldn't moderate them for the life of me when I first started out. Now, I regularly eat something sweet. I'm having 86 grams of pretzel M and Ms today.

You have clearly never been addicted to heroin or been close to anyone who was (the withdrawals from quitting cold turkey include vomiting, convulsions, hysteria and sometimes even death). Quitting sugar cold turkey just makes you feel deprived from yummy foods so you get a craving for something sweet. No different than feeling deprived and wanting more of your favorite show at the end of a season.
And sugar doesn't make you fat. Too much food in general makes you fat. Sweets are just easier to overeat than most other foods so they get a bad rap.47 -

I don't eat sweeteners (I know they're safe but I don't like the taste and some of them give me a headache)
I was told I could never lose weight if I didn't switch to diet coke and light yoghurts *sigh*

I knew a guy who decided he was going to lose weight by not eating after 8pm.
If that arbitrary rule wasn't silly enough (although it could work for someone who is only overweight due to overeating in the evenings), he had exceptions for it.
Popcorn and milk didn't count!! I guess he'd been told that they were healthy snacks so he was allowing them after his cut off (or maybe the milk didn't count because it was liquid and thus not food?).
Well one day we're out in a group and we stop at Mcdonalds but it's after 8 pm. We all order our food while he goes next door to the gas station and comes back with a half gallon of chocolate milk. He sits and drinks the entire thing while explaining to us that he only has milk and popcorn after 8 because he needs to lose weight.
For reference, my quarter pounder, fries and coke had a total of 1,330 calories (51g of fat, 38g of protein and 188g of carbs).
His half gallon of chocolate milk had 1,120 calories (16g of fat, 8 grams of protein and 232 grams of carbs).

I do believe this one - to a point.
My sister told me that tracking intake doesn't work at all. Apparently she missed the fact that I lost 75lbs by tracking what I ate.7 -

"Muscle weighs more than fat."
What?! Muscle is more dense, yes, but a pound is a pound...10 -

Except that when comparing a cubic inch of fat to a cubic inch of muscle, the muscle weighs more. You could as easily say that fat takes up more space than muscle even though an inch is an inch. It's just a different way of describing density.19 -
Several years ago an endocrinologist told me I would NEVER be under 200 lbs "because I've built up so much muscle from carrying all that weight around all those years." That was probably in 1996 or 1997. Over the years I gained 80+ lbs over where I was when he said that and I am now half the size of my maximum, AND safely under 200 lbs. That reminds me I really mean to take a pic of me flipping him off and send it to his office.14
