Today, I finished up a week of this new "Liquid Foods" diet I learned about from a friend. After a week of denying myself of my favorite foods and eating only non-fat yoghurt and smoothies, I have not only gained 2 pounds, but have diarrhea. Just in time for my anniversary. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I've been trying to make the most out of my short vacation by dieting, by eating a big pot of yogurt with lots of fresh fruit every day. Turns out what I thought was yogurt is actually heavy cream. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, after two full months of trying to gain weight, I haven’t gained a single pound. Instead, I now have severe and irreversible digestive problems from overeating. FML
Today, I lost the 5 pounds I had gained over the last few weeks. I had vowed to do whatever it took to lose that weight, and I actually did, when I caught a horrible stomach bug. I'd eat my words, but I'm pretty sure I'd just end up throwing them up. FML
Today, after months of grueling hard work, I'd finally gained five pounds. Too bad I lost it all and then some, due to one good stomach flu. FML
Today, I learned that the vomiting and uncontrollable flatulence I've been suffering from is normal with my new diet. FML
Today, I decided to start eating healthier, so I had fruit and yoghurt for breakfast and a chicken salad for lunch. My stomach violently rejected both meals in a fountain of vomit. I later ate a giant McDonald’s meal with no issue, and felt loads better. FML
Today, after a few months of trying to gain weight due to being severely underweight, I got a stomach flu and lost every single pound I put on, and then some. FML
Today, I finally weighed myself after going on a strict diet of only fruits, vegetables, and coffee. I gained weight. FML
Today, it's been a week since I got a gastric balloon to help me lose weight. On the plus side, I've lost 5kg. On the downside, it's been one week of vomiting, diarrhea, not being able to eat solid food, and stomach cramps so painful that it feels like I'm constantly being stabbed. 15 weeks to go… FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should know better than to try fad diets. Most liquid foods are high fat anyway, so it's no wonder you gained weight. As for your diarrhea, what did you expect from not eating any solids?

Did you even bother researching it first? I mean I'm not a health nut, but all yoghurt and smoothies just sounds like a bad idea to begin with.

Lovely. I love when retards attempt different diet strategies without the help of an educated dietists hahahaha. Especially if they go on an all-carb or much-fat maverick diet. SO FUN TO SEE THEM BLOW UP LIKE BALOONS HAHAHA. They don't know the science behind these methods, they just go: "OH BOY?! I CAN GLUTTON ALL I WANT AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT? *OM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM*! ahahaha

OK, seriously? Most yoghurt and smoothies you can buy these days are filled with SUGAR which is at least as bad for weight gain as fat, if not worse, and has fewer all-round health benefits than pretty much anything else. Also, the diarrhea is probably from not getting any FIBRE. Moron!

Fad diets make me laugh. "Eat some fatty things that are bad for you, you'll totally lose weight, promise!" Eat less, exercise more.

As others have said, you're an idiot OP.. Eat normal portions, don't eat junk food, and exercise. It's not a miracle that skinny people are skinny - it's common sense and eating properly.

Better advice - Don't take diet advice from people on the internet.

The way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you intake. This has been common knowledge for what, a century? Oh noes! That requires work! Thinking to measure my intake, and physical exertion to burn calories. Isn't there an easier way? One that doesn't require any effort? No. Eat sensibly, and go for walks. You don't even have to deprive yourself of the things that are bad for you, just limit your portions. For a snack, eat a snack size bag of potato chips instead of a Family size bag.

liquid diet??? This seems rather obvious, but adult humans are meant to eat SOLID FOOD! That's why you have teeth. Also, most yogurt (re: the kinds that have flavor/fruit) is loaded with sugar (or artificial sweeteners) and is high in fat. The best yogurt (nutritionally speaking) is the one labeled "plain unsweetened" and trust me, it's boring. If you're going on a diet eat sensibly and consult your doctor or a dietician....both of whom will tell you that rapid weight loss and fad diets don't work and have the unhappy side effect of being really dangerous.

YDI for not spelling "yogurt" right.

FYL for not knowing that certain words can have different spelling variations. OP: That sounds like a horrible experience! FYL indeed.
