We've heard it all. From the Atkins Diet to chowing down on raw foods to the cookie diet craze, trendy ways to shed the pounds have always attracted followers. And while the jury is still out on which ones work and which ones don't, our fellow Tweeters have a lot to say about their forays into fad diets. [Note: That's Fit is not endorsing any of the below diets.]
theantijared
theantijared @HealthPop Eating fruits vegetables and lean meats for life is pretty weird [Editor's Note: Saracasm detected here]

There's candy wrappers all over the office, and when we get home, the first thing we reach for is the Halloween dish. Turns out all the cool Twits out there are craving seasonal treats now, too. Here's how they try to strike a balance between indulging and eating mindfully:
MobiMom
MobiMom Finally broke into the "hidden" bag of Halloween candy - oh, no - this is NOT good....
JaredCastle
JaredCastle Halloween trivia: A cup of candy corn has fewer calories than a cup of raisins. Candy corn (22 pieces) is 140 calories. http://short.to/sl7q
leslie_dennis
leslie_dennis Halloween candy should be counted as a food group unto itself. I've already had 3 Smarties and a Now & Later. I'm wired!
pbsparents
pbsparents Plan for a healthy Halloween. Instead of candy, give stickers, pencils or small change w/ a note saying "Treat yourself!"
khat0511
khat0511 Just bought enough halloween candy to choke a whale.. it's all staring at us now.. if i don't look, the calories don't count, right?
ColletteAM
ColletteAM @Thats_Fit I couldn't care less about Halloween candy. 1) I'm vegan & 2) Its junk. If I want chocolate it's gotta be the best.

Does the brisk weather keep you sticking to your fitness DVDs and gym equipment, or do you head outside to work out? We liked what advice these Twitterers had to offer on the subject:

At That's Fit, we have long been joining the conversation about diet soda, weighing in on whether it helps you shed weight, or if it is actually a cause of extra pounds. This week we went to Twitter to see what the trending topics were around calorie-free soda. Here's what these tweeps had to say:
renagerie
renagerie There are studies showing that people eat more when the drink diet soda. Not true for me, though.
derekzarn
derekzarn I only see fat people drink diet soda, thus I have come 2 the conclusion that diet soda makes one fat. MYSTERY SOLVED! Dont drink diet soda!
Diet_Diva
Diet_Diva Cut out all soda asap! Death in a can. Seriously, water is the best, next tea. No diet soda either; will make you fatter!!
DavidGirton
DavidGirton Diet Soda has NO nutritional value...so, is it really helping your fitness goals?

This week we asked, "Would you go/why have you gone vegetarian/vegan?" And these fit Twitters had these tweet replies:
dmtweets@Thats_Fit Started because I was allergic to meat and milk. Cut everything else because I believe it's right.
ColletteAM@Thats_Fit became vegetarian @ 11yo for animals, vegan @ 20yo when I had my 1st child so we could have a long healthy life together.
jend420@Thats_Fit Wouldn't go Vegetarian. Love vegs. Love animals. But no issues eating said animals. The body needs animal proteins, iron, etc.
thenewswineflu@Thats_Fit I could never, ever give up sushi. And I am aware of the Califauxrnia roll. Still, no way in hell :)
