Dumbest Things You've Seen For Gaining/Losing Weight

[Clint07]

I know that this is borderline off-topic, but I'm sure you guys have some great stories to tell. So what are some of the dumbest/worst things you've seen people to to either gain or lose weight?

I'll start: My cousin is a selfproclaimed hardgainer who has a shitty diet and doesnt bother to learn enough to take his suppliments correctly. Well he decided that since people gain weight when they quit smoking, he would start smoking for a few months and then quit and that way he could turn the fat he gains into muscle. I tried to explain the folly of this idea but gave up after a couple minutes of getting nowhere with him.

your cousins got a really good idea!!!!!!!! Getting addicted to cigarettes then turning the fat he gains while quiting into muscle is genius. He should write a book on his expierment and sell it when hes done as the solution for hard gainers.
That is possibly the worst idea i've ever heard in my life, hahahaha, tell him to try it and laugh at him when hes addicted to cigarettes and trying to turn fat into muscle.
Your cousin has to be like 14 or 15 to even think this would work.

Thats the worst part, he's 22. I don't bother to argue with him anymore, its not worth the time it takes to explain shit to him cause he comes up with idea like this anyways.

 

[Oreo2005]

wow, that is an awful idea.


On a side note, did you all know that the guy who wrote the book "Natural Remedies Drug Companies don't want you to know about" (or whatever the real title is) was used car salesmen that went to jail on tax evasion. I'm not sure where he learned his "medical knowledge", but people sure believe his shit.

Every dumb fuck-ass kid who comes into GNC asking if we sell testosterone shots.

Seriously, it happens.

Cutting: That fat baseball player who killed himself and ended up having Ephedra blamed for it. That guy should get the Darwin award.

Training in a Pro Camp, in Florida, with a heart condition and high blood-pressure, taking Ephedra, not eating, not staying hydrated, trying to loose weight.

BRILLIANT.

I think it's a New Year's resolution thing, but a few guys I work with are trying to lose weight by only eating one meal a day. One HUGE meal at lunch - but I see them walking around the shop with candy bars, bags of chips and Mountain Dew all day. Yeah, that'll work...

I mentioned some cardio exercise and invited them to go to BJJ with me, but no one's accepted yet.

Agreed, making it just that much harder for us to get Ephedra back *wipes tears* I loved that stuff.. had one bottle of Ripped Fuel w/ Ephedra.. and hot damn.. it was "energizing" all right.

i know this guy who goes to the gym everyday and into the sauna for about 3 hours a day and covers himselfs in sweats and plastics to lose about 5 to 10 punds and hes says this is his constant way to lose weight. he looks way worse and is killing himself. plus he gains it back right at the ned of the day cause its just fucken water weight

One time a guy got a hold of these pink pills but he didn't know what they were. So he came on the forums asking everybody if they knew what these pink pills were and whether or not he should take them.

That was pretty fucking stupid.

I wonder what ever happened to that guy?

 

[seandoyle]

Let's just hope that the gene stops with your cousin.

Now that was funny. To the threadstarter, tell you cousin that crack works better for losing weight. If he is so keen in trying "unortodhox" metods for his weak attempt at losing weight, turn him on to coke and crack so he can just quit polluting the air we breath.

No one wants to hear "hard work" as an answer.

Some-sad-day there will be a pill that will make fat asses thin. I like to call this day the apocolypse.
