"it hurts to watch 'smart' ppl fall for fad diets in 2016." Thu Jan-14-16 01:17 PM by SoWhat
breaks my heart.
i know folks who go from one diet to another - ppl who SHOULD know by now that none of that stuff works. that there are no shortcuts to good health or fitness. that the only way to accomplish that goal is to make real, lasting changes that one can actually stick with. and to be patient while waiting for the body to adapt and results to appear. you'd think they'd get it b/c that info is out there and fairly easily found. but no...they go from Weight Watchers to cleanses to a grapefruit diet to all-quinoa to rice cakes and celery...and on and on. i just *SMH* b/c if i say anything i'm hit w/'You don't understand b/c you can eat anything and remain slim'. the struggle is real i know but fad diets won't make it any easier. but i can't say anything i just *SMH* and post about it here.
every time I point out how absurd her "diet" is she tells me I am being negative. Fuck her whole family does this. I am known as the negative one in the family. Every time they say that I tell them name one time I was wrong about "insert subject" they never can.

or shaking a weight and it's money in the bank.

2-3 years ago, I remember there was a damn detox using everything. One person told me they were on a lemonade detox....3-4 days of ALL lemonade with no sugar, aka water and lemon.
My favorite part is when they try to rationalize it...."see, your body needs a break from food. Yea, you'll be hungry, but you get used to it by the third day. You'll feel so much better, though."

this was back in the day during the "colon cleanse" fad
she laying on the table with some yahoo essentially giving her an enema at his "clinic" that was later found to employ people who were takign all kinda "sexual liberties" with women clients
THAT was one of those times I very much on the "y'all dumb as hell man..." train
you paying someone to shoot jets of water with herbs in it up your butt as a weight loss plan? good luck with that
i also remember a post here a while back where one of the playettes went to some "spa" that had her bottomless hunched over a pot of steaming liquid with *something* in it that was supposed to cause a detox of her yaya. she talked about BLACK goo draining our of her

23. "Is there an exception to the CICO rule?" In response to Reply # 0
(Calories In Calories Out)
I've never had to lose weight so I dunno, but isn't weight loss just about that number at the end of the day? You can eat a pizza only diet and lose weight if your CICO is straight. Or nah? Seems like such a simple concept but maybe there's a catch I don't know about because people that are just as or more intelligent than me are overweight.
32. "dif people have different metabolisms..." In response to Reply # 23
a 55 year old woman who eats like she did when she was 18, will likely gain weight. certain metabolic disorders (which a lot of fat people) have, means they get to eat less.
37. "From what I can tell...." In response to Reply # 23
The CICO is scientifically true for weight loss.
But weight loss is independant from overall health and well-being.
So yah....if you eat only pizza with the CICO scale being tipped towards calories burned....then you will lose weight. But you certainly won't be 'healthy'. ie mood, energy, chances of illness, disease, etc.
If someone's ONLY goal was to lose weight (to the exclusion of other health goals)....than a pizza diet based on CICO works.
