Keto diet (no carb) - typically pushed by those who were also scammed into CrossFit memberships

protein intake - pushed my supplement companies on others to think they need double the amount of protein that they actually do. i dont even keep track of protein anymore

I don't really disagree with you here. However, I've yet to see a study that gives an amount for too much protein.

The only real drawback with eating high protein from meat is that it can get expensive.

I don't know about scam because it works, the question is how long can someone keep it up.

I wouldn't say crossfit is a scam, but the box memberships are extremely expensive for limited use.

Any kind of wrap. My Mom gets a kick out of seeing them knowing how big they were in the 70s.

I'd say protein intake is as well. Almost anyone and everyone who has or does exercise regularly is drinking shakes.

The ppl that actually need it are far and few between.
