Stupid Fat Loss Trends
You don’t need me to tell you that some of the advice out there for fat loss is just plain bad.
We have personal trainers who proclaim themselves ‘experts’ after having done a 4-week course, and people who read an article in a magazine and suddenly want to debate nutrition with someone who has a PhD.
We KNOW there’s a ton of terrible information out there … but what’s the worst?
Things like low-carb, low-fat, vegan and keto diets will always be around, whether we like and recommend them or not. But sometimes, a trend comes along that’s so utterly crazy, it makes you question peoples’ sanity.
Should you run into someone mad enough to be following any of the following diets, you might want to direct them here.
Not only will these do nothing to help your fat loss, they could actually hinder it.

Authored by Tilak Doshi via Tilak’s Substack,
The Financial Times reported on Good Friday that “more than 65 leading UK scientists” had signed an open letter, published as a Google Doc, urging the Government to abandon new North Sea oil and gas drilling in favour of renewables.
“Here is the scientific establishment speaking with one voice,” the FT tells us, warning against the supposed folly of extracting what remains of Britain’s hydrocarbon resources and to choose renewables that, according to the scientist-signatories, provide...
