It is long, it is funny and it sums up lots of the debates here, about the "best" diet and whether what you eat matters

Of all the biscuits (cookies to you) I would use my calories on, Oreos are rarely my choice. We do biscuits really really well in the UK. I'd be perfectly happy if I never ate an Oreo again.
Sorry.
Not sorry.4 -

Been reading this guys site since yesterday, it's amazing! Thanks! So much good information and simplified very well. Example:
– Carbohydrate intake: the number of carbs you’re consuming will affect scale weight. Remember, 1 gram of carbohydrate comes along with 3g of water. This is why when people go on a low-carb, or ketogenic diet, they see rapid weight loss (not fat loss) initially as the body drops water. Inversely, if you’re ending a period of low-carb or ketogenic dieting, you can expect your weight on the scale to go up.
Very interesting stuff.

Is it 1 gram of carbs, or 1 gram of glycogen? I know 1 gram of glycogen >> 3-4 grams of water but I don't think the same ratio holds true for carbs (but I could be wrong).
Can you show where the blog has 1 g carbs >> water?0 -
I will share this with all my friends doing Woo diets they never listen to me they say "oh I lost 10lbs in a week with ____" a month later "I'm starting again on my ___" I'm like I lose 1lbs almost every week and I'm eating cake.3

it's under the weird and highly annoying world of scale and weight fluctuations, pg 2 in the articles section.0 -

According to Daym Drops, not the apple pie ones.

"It's not as simple as CICO because CI and CO can be affected."
I never understood that argument.1
