Correct me if I'm wrong, but some of the advice given here really bothers me :\
Now, If I was to go through with some of the advice given to me here, I wouldn't be eating anything except for grilled chicken and lettuce. Some people tell other to completely eliminate important food groups! Don't eat brown bread or any bread don't eat this don't eat nuts they have a lot of fat don't eat cheese don't eat tomatoes oh, and of course; don't eat fruits they have too much sugar!
Are you kidding me?! Many of these foods are important for a balanced diet! Nobody said they should be eating tons of it, but to completely eliminate it?
It's something else when someone asks about their weight, and get called fat even when their weight is medically right, sometimes perfect for their height. Example: If someone who has a BMI of 21-22 asks if their weight is good, someone comes and answers with: No ur fat because I am your height and weigh 25 pounds less than you are and I'm not anorexic!
So your weight = a guide to everyone?
The asker might be a 30 year old mother and the person who answered was probably a 15 year old who does sports for 5+ hours a day. You can't compare both lifestyles! A 30 year old mother shouldn't have to weigh the same as a 15 year old as long as she's at a healthy weight.
Something else I've noticed, is the condescending tone of most advice/answers. I would understand that if it was one of those ridiculous questions like: "How do I lose 30 lbs in a week?" types.. but no, it's that way even for regular, weight-loss & fitness questions. Do you think that being condescending and mean instead of motivating will give that person the motivation to start taking care of their health? I dunno, I just don't think that that's the right way to help someone.
One last thing, Why so many scam spammers! Is YAHOO aware of this? Do you guys report them? maybe if we do, they'll go away :\
Just my 2 c. Don't mean to offend anyone, but what do you guys think? Thanks in advance for your opinions!
