Found a good article this morning on 6 dangerous things you should never do to lose weight. I've seen all of these methods represented in some fashion on these boards, sometimes in combination. Please read this with an open mind, and if you do any of these things, make sure to speak with your doctor to keep yourself safe and healthy.

I do not intend for this thread to turn into a debate, but it probably will. Please be civil and kind to one another.

Good info. Bottom line diet AND excercise is what will help with weight loss. If it were really that easy to take a pill we would all be skinny.0

They do. It's 1200. But that doesn't stop people from eating far under that goal.0 -
I do know a few folks who use these methods and it's a choice. I would not make any choices that would not enhance my life. It is a good article to plant seeds...

This is and interesting article I think that many things mentioned on there are relevant to Mfp, one point that bugs the he'll out of me is when people go on "detox" it's silly your body processes what is taken in and then gets rid of the things it doesnt need there for detoxing itself!!!!0

It's not really common sense. Most people don't understand health and weight loss, and they're just looking to get skinny quick. If it's common sense to you, that's because you learned to think about weight loss in a healthy way, but not everyone is so fortunate.0 -
Great article and oh so true! Quick fixes of any kind are never the answer. The only way to lose weight for good is through moderation in eating and exercise. EXCELLENT POST! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.

You know, you're exactly right, although if people can use the internet to learn about unhealthy, lose-weight-quick schemes, you'd think they could use it to educate themselves on the healthy way to do it.0 -
Great information here...Thanks for the post.0
