- JustinHorne, on 01/30/2008, -1/+28Calories in < Calories out= You'll lose weight.

- CatalunyaBob, on 01/30/2008, -0/+15The Atkins Diet = Horrific Body Odor. Don't ask me how I know.
- scooterbaga, on 01/30/2008, -0/+15For the longest time I wished for a way to get into shape and have it not suck. I just want to sit and play videogames...
... So I bought a recumbent bike and I can do just that. The pounds are freakin' flyin' off. As long as you're playing a good game, you barely notice you're exercising! - UtopiaTree, on 01/30/2008, -0/+12Donut: I only eat foods that begin with vowels!
Simmons: That's sounds really hard! What did you have for breakfast?
Donut: Eggs and Oreos! And for lunch I'm having asparagus... and Oreos! - Motivaaator, on 01/30/2008, -2/+13Finally The Atkins Diet is getting the bad rap it should. Bad news for Cardiologists.
- MrBabyMan, on 01/30/2008, -1/+11You're doing it wrong.
- gnews, on 01/30/2008, -0/+9Lose weight now! Ask me how! - Those badges are ridiculous, but at least Herbal Life didn't make the top ten.
- GhostyBoy, on 01/30/2008, -0/+8Yeah I tried it on my girlfriend and 9 months later she is fatter than ever.
- tendonut, on 01/30/2008, -1/+9I think you missed her mouth.
A quick Ctrl+Alt+Coathanger and try again.
I'm so going to hell - dannyapplesauce, on 01/30/2008, -8/+16keep it on one page *****
- Rapax, on 01/30/2008, -0/+6Check your facts, he died at 73 after slipping on ice on his way to work.
- tendonut, on 01/30/2008, -0/+6Dude, when my brother was training for the Mr. Buffalo bodybuilding competition, we wouldn't let him in the house. He had to stay with his girlfriend at her place He smelled THAT bad.
He ended up winning 1st place in his weight class.....while I sat in front of my computer and played WoW. - ipodwheels, on 01/30/2008, -0/+6I have opted for dieting from dieting. I have never been happier.
- tendonut, on 01/30/2008, -0/+6RU so lazy that you can't write out two words?
- heatmiser, on 01/30/2008, -0/+6This whole article is a bit misleading. ANY diet that creates a daily deficit, either through caloric restriction, increased exercise, or both, will cause fat loss. Depending on a number of factors such as existing lean body mass and training needs, a certain amount of protein is required since the body will steal from muscle tissue for gluconeogenesis, since certain organs absolutely must you glucose. ALL diets that generate a deficit need to have ample daily protein to avoid stripping areas such as the heart from valuable muscle.
Beyond those basic requirements, the only real issue with diets is keeping the fat off once you are done - If a person resumes crappy eating and an unhealthy lifestyle they will gain the weight back. DUH! People need to realize that once they are finished with an accelerated diet, they MUST transition to something they can continue indefinitely, which will most likely include gaining some weight back since they are no longer generating such a heavy daily deficit and the body will gravitate back towards their previous setpoint.
Studies have shown that setpoints are like a one-way ratchet - they easily go up but not back down. People who maintain low levels of body fat through diet and exercise will need to continue it forever. Any re-setting of the natural homeostatic setpoint will likely be minimal, if any, even after years of being at a lower body fat level. We can all thank evolution for that. - iwilldigg, on 01/30/2008, -0/+6he did it on purpose, so that we spend few more calories on clicking next button..
- GhostyBoy, on 01/30/2008, -0/+6***** that made me laugh really hard.
But this is no laughing matter. *Honey, come here for a second....* - InspectorGadget, on 01/30/2008, -0/+6Protein damage to healthy kidneys has been debunked. High-protein diets can worsen existing kidney conditions, but a person literally could not consume enough protein to damage the kidneys.
"Conclusions: High protein intake was not associated with renal function decline in women with normal renal function. However, high total protein intake, particularly high intake of nondairy animal protein, may accelerate renal function decline in women with mild renal insufficiency."

- arsheroica, on 01/30/2008, -1/+6I work at a restaurant, and today I met what must have been the most self-righteous person I've ever known outside of church. She came in to get something to eat and she told me about how she was on a special "Food Separation" diet which meant she wasn't supposed to mix food types, in particular she couldn't mix proteins with starch, among others. She explained it to me very matter-of-factly and with condescension in her voice, saying it was, "the only way to be healthy". So she asked what on the menu was meat-free, dairy-free and gluten-free and complained about how when she goes out she can never find anything to eat except salad. Well no kidding!
Then she tried to tell me, your humble narrator and busboy, that human beings are not ever supposed to eat meat. What!? I respect vegetarians who choose vegetarianism because of the way we treat our animals, raising and breeding them selectively so they're just big stupid turkey-burgers with legs, but I hate it when some people are so out of touch with the order of nature. Human beings are animals! We eat meat to survive, just like any other omnivorous animal! In and of itself, eating meat is not immoral or bad for us, it's just how everything works. One thing consumes another thing, which is consumed by another thing. It's the circle of life. And it moves us all. From the day we arrive on the planet, and, blinking, step into the sun. There's more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than can ever be done. There's far too much to take in here, more to find than can ever be found. But the sun rolling high, through the sapphire sky, keeps great and small on the endless round. It's the Circle of Life, and it moves us all. Through despair and hope, through faith and love, till we find our place on the path unwinding in the circle; The Circle of Life. Nants ingonyama bagithi baba. Sithi uhhmm ingonyama. Nants ingonyama bagithi baba. Sithi uhhmm ingonyama! Ingonyama! Siyo Nqoba!
This post just turned into the Lion King, and I am proud.
P.S. then she ordered tuna salad with her real salad and I was like wtf gtfo. - rmmcclay, on 01/30/2008, -0/+5Most people in Western civilization could live just fine eating half of what they do now.
- VeganG, on 01/30/2008, -0/+5That's not a diet, that's the way you're supposed to eat every day.
- BriteEyesWeirdo, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4Left out Richard Simmons' "Deal-a-Meal"
- elliotys, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4Yeah, if your fat and disgusting on the outside.
- elliotys, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4Yes. First thing I want you to do is cut down on stupid questions.
- salmatime, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4Diet = Ridiculous
- xenopii, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4Atkins, and low-carb in general, are perfect for controlling type 2 diabetes. In some cases, diabetics on low-carb diets can avoid insulin/oral meds completely, while still controlling glucose levels. So, yeah, it's awesome to see it get that bad rap.
- desmotropic, on 01/30/2008, -1/+5Dugg for finally calling out Jared and his ridiculous Subway Diet. That smug bastard had lipo, of this I'm sure.
- headband, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4I actually know somebody who is on something called the LL Cool J platinum body diet.
- janwit, on 01/30/2008, -3/+7What about anorexia and bulimia
- tendonut, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4And it is pink.
- rmd34, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3Nothing beats a good workout. Here's a site that shows you how many calories are burned by exercise/sport type (hundreds of different activities to choose from): http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/calories.htm
- psykiv, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3Ctrl+Alt+Coathanger. ROFLMAO.I That is easily the funniest thing I've read this week. Bravo!
- manicallday, on 01/30/2008, -1/+4Here's the list sans the witty explanation:
Dr. Siegal’s® Cookie Diet™
The Subway Diet
The Cereal Diet
Cabbage Soup Diet
Slim Fast
Blood Type Diet

The Three-Day Diet/Hot Dog Diet
The Apple Cider Vinegar Diet
The Writing Diet
The Atkins Diet - watersfine, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3I also heard that the macrobiotic diet gives you bad breath. Shocking.
- Goldbricker, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3And every night when she sits down to dinner she says "That's all?!?!?!"
- mishmish48, on 01/30/2008, -1/+4there is something not right about only eating bacon and eggs. Can I get a fruit over here?
- elliotys, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3I heard that takes lots of booze.
- DonJohnTom, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2say what you will but the cookie diet has been working for me
- nospinhere, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2I am on the see food diet. I see it, I eat it!!!
ummm, I guess that doesn't work on the same level if you have to write it out. - LastSight, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2"If your really that desperate to lose weight, then why don't you just 'suck' the fat out?" - Cleveland
- Marijuana, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2Russian Air Force Diet seems pretty badass actually. I'm gonna try it.
- tendonut, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2Comment of the day.
- queenstarsha, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2yeah, but smokin' hot's on the outside.
- mal1964, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2I'm trying the new, Homeless and Unemployed Diet.
- poorman04, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2Woot! my steak diet isn't ridiculous.
- Goldbricker, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2No they just bought into the ***** that was perpetuated through the media about it. It's actually a very restrictive diet if you adhere to it, but that doesn't sell copy. They'd much rather put forth stories about people eating unlimited cheeseburgers.
