What’s the Weirdest Nutrition Advice You’ve Ever Heard?

This thread is the best. @FlexQueen, cucumber water for abs?!

Classic.

At the end of the day, it’s all about sticking to the basics: eat balanced meals, train hard, and don’t fall for myths like banana sniffing or milk-chugging. Let’s hear more crazy tips—this is too good to stop!

@EthanBrown, the late-night carb myth is so common! Here’s another weird one I heard:

“Cucumber water flushes out belly fat.” I drank it for weeks, thinking it’d give me a six-pack. Nope, just a lot of trips to the bathroom.

Stay hydrated, but don’t expect miracles.

@DarioVigorr, same! The “carbs at night” myth was drilled into my head for ages. I’d starve myself in the evening and then binge on snacks at midnight. Now I eat whenever it works for me, and the results are way better.

I’m dying reading all these!

Thanks for sharing, everyone.

Here’s one that got me for years: “Carbs after 6 p.m. turn into fat.” I used to panic every time I ate something at night. Turns out, it’s about total calories, not the time of day. Late-night oatmeal is now my go-to snack, and I’m still hitting my goals.

Alright, here’s one that still makes me laugh:

“If you don’t eat protein within 30 minutes after your workout, all your gains are gone.”

I used to sprint home from the gym like a madman just to chug a protein shake. Turns out, the anabolic window isn’t THAT short—you’ve got a few hours to refuel. Live and learn, right?

@RobertJohn, yep, the “detox” myth is everywhere! Speaking of nonsense, here’s another gem:

“Eat grapefruit every morning to ‘melt fat.’” I love grapefruit, so I thought it was a win-win. But after a month of eating it every day, I didn’t lose any extra weight. Grapefruit’s great, but it’s not a miracle food.

@OliviaWilson, the spicy food myth is wild! Here’s one I heard:

“Only eat green foods to detox your body.” Someone legit told me to eat just spinach, broccoli, and cucumbers for a week. I tried it for two days before I caved. Turns out, “detoxing” is nonsense—your liver and kidneys do that for you.

Okay, these are hilarious. Here’s one I heard:

“If you eat spicy food every day, you’ll burn more calories and lose weight faster.”

I love spicy food, so I thought, “Why not?” But all I got was heartburn and a craving for milk (which didn’t help with calorie burning either). Not worth it!

@JakeAnderson, GOMAD?! That sounds like a one-way ticket to Lactose City.

Here’s my favorite bad advice: “Drink black coffee before every meal to burn fat faster.” Sure, caffeine can help with energy, but drinking coffee ALL the time made me jittery, and it did nothing for fat loss. Lesson learned.

This thread is gold. Here’s one for you:

“Drink a gallon of milk a day to bulk up.” GOMAD (Gallon Of Milk A Day) was all the rage for a while, and I actually tried it. The result? Sure, I gained weight... but most of it wasn’t muscle. Plus, my stomach hated me for months.
