Funniest diet myth

[Djicy]

I don't know if its a myth, but my cousin told me "dude...those protien powders make you fat" when I was having a quick shake in the hotel room we were staying in for a family event.

certain ones can if you drink them enough.

intake in vs. intake out... Thats the bottom line. Blaming it on one macronutrient is like saying Black Jack, not Poker, is the reason a compulsive gambler lost all his money.

I made a shake consisting of one scoop of whey and water when he made the comment. Sure, that would make me fat if I had 40 of those a day, but then again it would be a hell of a lot better than having 40 scoops of ice cream a day.

 

[eat big]

1. carbs are bad
2. eating at night will make you fat
3. i can eat as many Snackwells as i want because they are fat free
4. fat is bad

Damn you, I have nothing else to say, those were all the myths I was thinking of.

Actually......you can eat what you want and stay within you caloric means and lose weight.......

"Weight" being the key word. As BB's we are concerned with fat loss only. I can lose "weight" easily, pure fat loss takes a little more homework.

actually you made a great point, I heard the milk gets you fat with the shakes not water. could be all myths though because just what i heard not facts

Almost everyone is lactose intolerant to a point. Meaning that the lactose in the milk will make you bloated and retain water. In the short run making you look fatter. Also, lactose is only slightly more complex than table sugar (sucrose) making it more likely to convert to fat b/c of its quick absorption rate. Milk is great for bulking b/c of the high quality protein, but I always cut it out on a diet. And as you get closer to a target date you can cut out the whey too which can make you hold water.


My favorite myth: Once you quit dieting ALL that muscle turns into fat.
