What's the most ridiculous fitness, health or nutrition scam with no scientific backing that you've seen promoted over the years?
>>77610120The worst one is called "being a zoomer"
>>77610126This doesnt even make sense
>>77610133Learn English.
>>77610120They're only a scam if you are stupid enough to think that they magically make your feet "better". They are great at giving you a different feeling shoe.
>>77610138Ironic post is ironic
I think the explosion of meme dietsthere's like 5 concurrent meme diets
>>77610147Which is the worst in your opinion
>>77610153the sugar/honey diet
>>77610157Yeah I agree
>>77610120I have these shoes. I like them a lot. Makes it feel more natural when youre on a hike
>>77610160Yep, that's typically how scams work - by feeling rather than by actual scientific backing.
>>77610161science knows my own body better than i do? what kind of appeal to authority is this?
>>77610161Whats the scientific benefit of them? I bought them because I like the concept and I wear them because I like feeling the ground.
>>77610161>Fell for marshmallow cushioned shoes
>>77610163>Twinkies feel better to eat than raw broccoli>"Science" says this means Twinkies are better for me
>>77610168>>77610164The point is theres no benefit - read more slowly.
>>77610254And my point is that I dont care. Im wearing the goofy looking toe shoes anyways
>>77610259Enjoy your scam
>>77610262They’re not really more expensive or less durable or less comfortable or less useful than normal shoes, they’re great for deadlifting and most running needs. What’s the scam again besides looking different and having marketing claims about how shoes change the shape of your feet (basically true) and that being bad (I dunno)
>>77610268Like I said, enjoy them.
>>77610142Larger toe box gives you better stability as your forefoot isn't as squished together. Zero heel drop and thin sole allows for more range of motion for the ankle, and better recruitment of the achilles tendon resulting in less impact being taken by the knee. Not to mention the massively diminished risk of rolling your ankle that comes with a thinner sole stack. Barefoot style shoes are massive for injury prevention if you run or hike a lot. Shoes that separate your toes make you look like a huuuge faggot though.
>>77610120>>77610161>>77610254>>77610262>>77610298are you ok? this is a really bizarre thing to be seething about this harddid your wife leave you for a guy who wears these shoes or something?
>>77610120Those look fun to wear.
Circumcision, basically a net negative if you simply look at the risks and benefits
>>77610401Women also have fewer orgasms with circumcised men, and the men themselves have less pleasure
>>77610401
>>77610298Seriously what’s the scam aspect of these shoes
>>77610147>>77610153Veganism
The food Pyramid® by Monsanto®
>>77610120Introverts
>>77610120Ice baths was the biggest one. I dont know why everyone bought into this.Red light therapy seems like one thats is trying to be pushed but no one is buying into it.
>>77610336>you're seething>I'm the only one using charged vitriolic language
>>77610408Feel free to actually read the post thread anon
>>77610410Both images of her face look perfectly fine. I am glad she's feeling better though. Why people continue a diet and lifestyle when they feel terrible because of it is beyond me.
>>77610253considering that what your tongue is detecting is literal poison, yeascience just means cataloging your empirical evidence
>>77610608Brain damage from lack of nutrients
I would add jump rope
20 bodyweight squats after meals lol
One of the reasons I gladly wait for a any fitness trend to die is exactly to avoid the hype-scam impulse of it.Gladly avoided buying a applewatch.Since other anons already commented veganism, the goycattle diet, I will add the Sleep obsession as a scam.>dude you NEED 9 perfect hours of sleep everyday>dude you NEED a REM sleep monitor to calculate EVERY detail of your sleep>YOU WILL DIE IF YOU SLEEP LESS THAN 6 HOURS PER DAY>you need to buy my pillow and my course or sleep or you going to DIE
>>77611226>>YOU WILL DIE IF YOU SLEEP LESS THAN 6 HOURS PER DAYthis one is true though
>>77610336>did your wife leave you for a guy who wears these shoes or something?Many such cases.
>>77610120>SAAR DO NOT BOTHER WITH THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCES>WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS>BUT IT COME FROM NEAR CAVES>CHROMATOGRAPH SAY MAYBE SHIT>MUCH HEAVY METALS, WE SWEAR BOOST TEST, SAAR!Probably either picrel or those scammy shark extracts that give you neurodegenerative diseases with your collagen.
Nootropics / Peptides.
>>77611226>or you going to DIEHow can anyone fall for this shit when there's tons of people everywhere doing everything "wrong" and they continue to persist and survive even when I wish they wouldn't? The human body is incredibly robust and resilient. Nobody understands that health mainly consists in not doing anything EXTREMELY bad. Doing "good" things for health barely moves the needle at all as long as you're not massively sleep deprived, not massively malnourished, and not massively exposed to extreme temperatures.Oh no I didn't have my sixth serving of vegetables today MY BODY DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT.
>>77611401Huge categories fairly rife with scams and occasional poisons, but also includes some molecules with well-documented safety and efficacy against various medical conditions and even for enhancing otherwise healthy people.
>>77611409Good take
>>77611226Do you even lift?I don't recover at all if I don't get solid sleep the next two nights after a workout and my next session just ends up being a repeat of what I did before or worse because of fatigue build up. When I do get really good sleep though it feels like I'm almost recovered after just one day.
>>77610336imagine the tremendous aura loss from getting cucked by a guy that wears those barefoot toe shoes
>>77610950Thats sad. I mean people who grew up eating normally and went vegan.
>>77611226>Gladly avoided buying a applewatch.Dodged a huge bullet there. Smart.
>>77611410Yeah thats how scams work dude. Theres always *some* truth in there. Doesnt justify the whole "Nootropic stack" or the meme of adding choline/theanine to drinks or random mind altering substances to preworkouts.
>>77611623Imagine unironically using the terms cucked and aura
bush grooming>actual negative health benefits to look prepubescent>increased uti>decrease sperm>decrease testosterone>decrease dick length>decreased sebum production = decreased androgen receptivityits actually kinda wild how big of an impact trimmed pubic hair has on the exo and endocrine system with rippling side effects. all because of porn and feminism kek. for real, just let your body hair grow, its role in temp regulation is unfathomably complex.>also never ever ever ever get the goysnip>meds for human trials intentionally test on puppers>all u need to do is age ratio life expectancy‘“they”’ neuter dogs identical to the goysnip used on men today - all u gotta do is find crazy dog show med vet journals outlining why thoroughbred canines always have giant balls and breeders never ever snip. o7
>>77610120Anti-CICOJust add some coefficients to the CI components if you're really so anal about differences in digestion and metabolism.
Starting Strength and SL5x5 for people who just care about health or aesthetics.
>>77612115Sorry to hear about your porn addiction anon
>>77612115thats just you being too retarded to understand what the difference between powerlifting and bodybuilding was anon. you might as well tell us you thought playing soccer would somehow make you better at basketball
>>77612218>>77612259Obese powershitters mad
>>77612294>porn reduces the size and function of the executive functioning portion of the brain, leading to rash decision making and impulsivelyYup, porn addiction.
>>77612115One of my biggest regrets is doing those trash routines which were pushed heavily here back in the day. Such a cringe, contrarian program for a bunch of nerds to feel important.
>>77611973Gonna need some citations cause my dick only ever looks bigger after shaving my pubic-fro and ive literally never had a UTI in my life.
>>77610415Milk and yogurt are the only unhealthy things in that picture. Ornish's diet cured diabetes and obesity in the vast majority of his omnivore diabetic patients and it looked just like that.>>77610410Anecdotal evidence. Vegans are healthier on average and in interventions.>>77611226See above, retarded ketolard.
>>77610120calories in calories out
>>77611626If it's bad for babies, why would it be good for adults?
>>77610410Hard disagree (I'm not a vegan). The problem with veganism is the reliance of some people on oil-heavy foods. That's a decision/skill issue.Healthy cooking with animal ingredients is easy. But that is not an inherent problem for vegans.There is also a vast variety of dietary needs among people. There are some people that will respond more poorly to vegetarian diet. I went vegetarian/quasi-vegan (low but nonzero dairy) for a period of time due to a dietary issue. It was seamless. I didn't crave meat or anything. I eat meat now, but it isn't necessary, only convenient.
>>77612565It's not bad for babies? What makes it bad for babies?
>>77610142they made my feet magically feel better because i have big wide feet. been using them for nearly 20 years now, cry harder.
>>77610298you didn't say that at all. what you did was seeeeethe and then talk about science like you know what it is.
