A detox tea. I still cannot believe I bought it. It did nothing except make my stomach angry.

I followed an extreme low-calorie plan and felt awful. The influencer looked healthy, but the advice was not sustainable.

The lesson for me was that confident people online can still be wrong. Now I check who is actually qualified.

Cutting out entire food groups because someone online said carbs were poison. I lasted a week and felt miserable.
