Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Try words along the lines of - fitness program, nutrition plan, way of life, healthy eating, bodybuilding nutrition, fueling workouts, active lifestyle. You're right, diet is kind of a bad description. :-) On 3/24/06, Felicity <Felizatee@...> wrote: > I keep wanting to say to people " I'm on a new diet, well it's not a > diet, it's a regime, it includes.....

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Felicity, you've got a lot of suggestions already....but wanted to add my two cents worth. Everyone at work thinks I'm a bit *freakish* when it comes to my 'diet' since it is SO healthy. Everyday someone says " You are so healthy, your lunch looks so healthy " blah blah blah. My response now is " Yes, I need it to fuel my workouts " . End of story. > I keep wanting to say to people " I'm on a new diet, well it's not a > diet, it's a regime, it includes.....

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I'm lucky. I work with a buddist drag queen. My eating habits are secondary in the water cooler fodder. There are four women on our management team. One is an Ironman triathelete. She's my favorite go out to lunch partner. Our boss is full of sabotage and elective surgeries. Then there's #2, she wants to be like me and the triathelete. So we tend to rule in the going out to lunch debate. We don't allow chinese or old school mexican. We do allow italian, my place with the seared ahi, steak houses and places with clean salads. It's actually the best I've had it in years for that sort of stuff.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 What did I say to you when it came up in conversation? I don't remember. I think I say: I follow a plan for nutrition and exercise I've changed how I eat; instead of waiting until I'm hungry and grabbing food, I now eat 5-6 small meals a day I've started eating n At 10:44 AM 3/24/2006, you wrote: >I keep wanting to say to people " I'm on a new diet, well it's not a >diet, it's a regime, it includes.....

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Diet is such a dirty word isn't it. It strikes fear. But even if you decided to eat Mcs and s (which we don't have here) and nothing but lollies and fatty foods it's still a diet it's just not a good one. I just tell people I am doing Body For Life straight out. If they ask for more it's a structured excercise and sensible eating program. Jadey 0:-) not on a " diet " I keep wanting to say to people " I'm on a new diet, well it's not a diet, it's a regime, it includes..... " What's a better was to say it without saying the word diet?
