Weights don't have reflections, they're like vampires.But only if you eat them after 7pm.......that's right isn't it?
If you eat after 7 PM your muscles will fall off. But that's okay, because girls should not have muscles.
I looked at a 2lb dumbell today...so I am so going to have them by tomorrow
OMG, you will be sooooo bulky!!
Never ever look at weights directly (jeez though everyone knew this) or your fat will turn to muscle instantl and you will get bulky. Use a mirror and only look at their reflection.0 -

So I should eat lots of garlic?0 -
Maybe...
I'm skeptical.
Ooh, but I can lose fat without losing weight! ha HA! What now?!
Wait.
You mean that there's a difference between fat loss and weight loss.
Shut up...
Saying shut up is not nice...the Kindergardeners of MFP will report you!
Oh, I see the issue here. You are mistaking me for someone nice *shudder*
And they can go ahead and report...my *kitten*.
Yeah, I said it. Someone had to say it.

Oh no, hang on, I was in Toys R Us <phew> toys have reflections right?0 -

Another myth! Thank you for your contribution.While I agree with the principle of that statement, it is pretty general and not really helpful. Numbers are specific and would tell the tale better. When overweight or obese people need to lose weight - a temporary state of affairs IF they focus and keep discipline and slight deprivation for the period of time to get the excess off - they need to cut calories AND carbs and stay within a narrow range for their height. Once the excess is off, they can begin to slowly, slowly and consciously, consciously add back a few calories and carbs every week until they are at their maintenance level.

Myth??...Funny because thousands of people have successfully lost weight doing it this way and was successful at keeping it off!;) :flowerforyou:0 -
BTW I believe weight loss only works if you ask a leprechaun to dance around you three times while chanting "ye can't have me lucky charms"
Do you have a spare leprechaun I can borrow?0 -
And MILLIONS of people have done it without reducing carbs. Hence, myth. It's about calories, carbs are irrelevant.

Oh, I doubt anyone would deny that it would work. It is certainly one approach which can get very good results.
However, it is not the only plan which will work or may not even be the most suitable plan depending on the individuals particular strengths or weakness (especially psychological rather than physiological.)
If you look at the heart of the matter the only thing physiologically that is needed is a suitable calorie deficit and dietary adherence (consistency, patience and time). Not carb cutting or any arbitrary restricting of any other macronutrient.
The psychological component (which is a big part of dieting for many people) is where it starts getting tricky...0 -
I'm glad somebody knows what they're talking about!!0

I read on another thread that different color vegetables are good for different systems in your body. It's sounds real smart so it must be true. If I eat all white stuff I'll be ok right? Cos I 'member from science class that white light is really a mixture of all the colors, & my science teacher was real smart too, 'specially when he used to do those puppet shows for me in the janitor's closet.
Wait, what was the question?
OMg, I just spit on my computer screen from laughing so hard.0 -

Alchemists only work for metals. For turning fat into muscle (or water into wine) you need a certified messiah. You can look for one in your Yellow Pages.how many calories do i need to eat to turn my fat into muscle? or do i need an alchemist?
It's true, I read it in a fitness magazine.0 -

I agree with you here!:) Totally agree. It just gets under my skin when people call a certain way to lose weight a myth or say that it doesnt work. There are many paths to weight lose, and many ways! Some methods work for some whereas it wouldnt work for another person. You just have to find the way that works for you, your body and your life. Just because one method doesnt work for me, Im not going to go out and say that this method doesnt work or is a myth because thats not true. Its dodnt work for ME, therefor as long as its a healthy way I will support any and all methods regardless of if it worked for me.

Well people are always after their lucky charms. All that running around burns calories you know?

I stated it was a myth because the person I quoted said you need to eat low carb - which IS a mythI agree with you here!:) Totally agree.
