Why is Mchenryeddie the only person with Good Advice? And why do people follow the bad ones?

Question

Mchenryeddie is the only person here (other than of course, my arrogant self :P) giving good solid advice to people, so why are people agreeing with stupid advice?

Do you want to find a way that makes you lose weight in a week and magically keeps it away forever?

Because it doesn't exist.

Diet pills don't work

Eating one meal a day and starving yourself makes you GAIN WEIGHT

Atkins sucks

So why!?

No worries to you Mchenryeddie, i am just a little more than irritated with people who don't do any research before answering, and sometimes the answers are bad enough that they could literally end up with someone Dying!

Its a worst case scenario for sure, but considering some things, its a distinct possibility.

One day, people will stop searching for the magic bullet, and instead THINK.

Answer 1

Thanks ZipLock...

I think there's a ton of misconceptions about dieting and health... I urge everyone who is concerned about their health and fitness is to educate themselves.

That means reading. I subscribe to about 7 different health magazines and people consistently throw me scientific articles on nutrition.

I've learned a lot about health and fitness over the years and hopefully I can help a few people get over their weight /fitness issues.

Thanks again, Ziplock, I've read some of your stuff and found it on line with my beliefs too.

Answer 2

people desperately want to believe in the easy fix
