  • The whole idea of a false advertising claim, is that if you are selling a product, you shouldn't lie about what it does. So there shouldn't have to be studies and articles published by third parties. Especially, when it's assumed that the company, who has a vested interest in the product has done more extensive studies to…

  • I find that I am when people get into my personal space. For example, I ride a bus to work, and when someone overweight crams themselves into the seat next to me so that they are partially sitting on me, I get really irritated. I take up less than a whole seat, sure, but if you take up more than 1.3 seats, that doesn't…

  • Just off hand, I know that loosing weight too quickly or a lack of protein can cause hair loss. Also, when mine started falling out a couple years ago, the doctor told me it would take a few months after I fixed my eating habits before it started to come back.

  • IMHO, if you totally deny yourself everything you will be pretty miserable and have a hard time sticking to your diet. It's ok to have one piece of chocolate here and there, and that shouldn't totally wreck things. Perhaps they wanted you to see that it's ok to enjoy something sometimes?

  • I'm 5'4" and have a desk job, though I walk about a mile as part of my commute to work. MFP recommended a 1200 calorie diet to me. On work days where I'm awake for 19-20 hours, I usually drink around 80oz of liquid. However, I'm chronically dehydrated so my doctor has me drinking extra. Water is best for you, but some…
