6Â Going on a diet can actually cause you to become more fat
Many people go on diets and starve themselves of calories, only to find that once they begin to return to a more regular diet, they become fatter than before. Scientific studies have shown that when we diet, our bodies learn to hoard fat and magnify food cravings into an obsession.(source)
7 Herring fart in order to communicate with each other
