What are the dumbest things you've heard from people on a diet

I have heard so many dumb things people say it just makes me laugh. It amazes me how some people are so ignorant and think they know everything.

Here are some things I've heard

While I worked at a theater I get so many chubby/obese people tell me their on a diet, example "Let me get a large popcorn extra layer butter, and make it a large DIET coke". Now I was an employee so I couldn't say anything but just laugh.

"I'm following a 12 week program from a book, I can eat anything and lose weight".

At my gym I've also seen some guy run the track with a bottle of mountain dew in his hand. :|

probably shouldn't form opinions of people based on faulty perceptions and little information.

Because it was the same guy who also had a dr. pepper as well. Besides, the bottle had green liquid and was bubbly carbonated. I'm pretty sure it was real mountain dew, not just bottle but he also drinks from the can sometimes. I don't like to judge based on what I see but I mean c'mon it was pretty obvious.

"So I went 12 calories over my daily limit."

Those eggs whites were filling!

"I can't eat that! It has too many calories!" while holding a big mac and fries.

Um, it's just quick burning sugar for energy... It might seem silly, but it's effectively no different to running with a Powerade/Gatorade. Just like it's no different to having candy before a gym session for a quick sugar boost of energy.

Anyone on a serious diet would know that gatorade/soda is banned. Sugar is not an excuse for quick energy.

"Why am i not losing weight when i eat healthy and do cardio every day"

Then they post on facebook that they got maccas for breakfast or lunch and such a few times a week,

'Can I have a cheese burger, plate of chips, the medium pepperoni pizza with ham slices. And a diet coke'

This fat mess is my aunt and yes she is still a moose today.

You know this guy is on a serious diet because...?

From a training perspective, his drinking something with sugar for energy is perfectly normal.

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]I do love people who go to fast food restaurants and get diet coke. :lol: I don't typically drink soda much, but when I do, it's usually a regular coke. Screw diet coke it tastes like ****.SolidSnake35

Just artificial sweeteners - much better for you >_>

I guess speaking right in front of me saying that they are trying to diet isn't proof enough I dont' know what is.

"Are you going to swallow it?"
"No I'm on a diet"

I once knew a lady (well, my mother's friend) who drank a glass of hot water every night to burn fat off.

I heard a tale once of a woman in a drive-thru ordering a "Diet Water" with her cheeseburger meal.

I :lol:

Also, I didn't know laughing at something means I'm making fun of something. What a way to judge me. Thanks. :roll:

Gatorade is not that unhealthy; soda, however, is very unhealthy.

Gatorade is sugar filled with high fructose corn syrup. If your on a diet to lose weight, I would not recommend Gatorade. If your an athlete constantly excercising then it would be good. I even use it for dextrose when I work out.
