Most obnoxious buzzwords related to health and fitness?
Do you have any buzzwords that you can't stand that are related to health, fitness, diet etc.? For me it's...
-"Food Noise"...It's called hunger. Beyond that, it's just describing an addictive state of obsession or craving when you want anything. You might as well call it alcohol noise, nicotine noise, sex noise, drug noise, etc. It's an unscientific, meaningless term used to describe what everyone feels when they're dieting just to sell GLPs.
-"Gaintaining/Maingaining"...Greg Doucette's explanation for what this is changes every video, but it essentially just means being in a very small caloric surplus. In other words, it's just slowly bulking as you should.
-"Starvation Mode"...It's not a real thing and nobody has ever gained weight from eating too little.
