What is it with "You MUST eat 5-6 meals to lose weight"
Got into it with a gym rat/Personal trainer today. I overheard him telling a client that she absolutely must eat 5-6 meals a day, and not eat any carbs at dinner in order to lose body fat.

Food labeling loopholes (Undeclared fat)
I just remembered this, be careful with foods that claim they are trans fat free. If the serving amount contains less than 0.5grams of fat per serving, manufactureres can claim it as "Fat Free" Many snack foods doop their customers into buying these "Fat Free" products such as cookies, candy bars, baked goods, etc.…

Were you a better person before the weight loss?
I know that some people change when they get to their goal weight. I know it's cool to get a boost in confidence and have a more positive outlook on your life, but did anyone become a "bad person" after losing weight? I.E. stuck up or cold hearted towards overweight people, maybe even some of your family and freinds?

Most of these people making these claims don't even know the difference between fat and water soluble vitamins. Energy comes from the 3 macros. nothing else! I'm not saying vitamins and…
