In jest of my entry, “I’m tired of fitness stuff” I decided to expel the nutrition/diet words down in layman’s term’s.

As a former trainer, I used to joke around how much ‘expertise words’ there are out there….and how I never knew where the humorous bone inserted (one of the test questions in being a trainer)

What I did know, however, was how to explain words and concepts without being too scientific. After all, not everyone got an “A” in chemistry?

This is how I usually describe Nutrition/Diet “stuff” to friends:

Food: unprocessed stuff that comes out of the earth for you to consume

Carbs: thing that gives you energy. (btw: If you’re not moving, you don’t need a lot of energy)

Good Fats: anything that doesn’t come from an animal

Lean Protein: meat that’s white, dry and tasteless

Fiber: stuff that makes you full, less hungry and makes you want to poop.

Sugar: a processed carb that makes you sleepy

Real Sugar: fruit.

Weight Watchers: a diet support group

Jenny Craig: a company that spends a lot on advertising

The Zone: the Jennifer Aniston’s diet.

Atkins: the no poop diet

South Beach Diet: The Zone Diet written differently

Maria Kang’s  Diet: 

1. eat what God made
2. stop when you’re full

 
what is all this stuff?!!
