Nutrition vs. Diet (Guest Blogger)



Here is this week's guest blogger. Coming to you by none other then Mr. James Corbin himself.

So I am a stickler for words and what they mean. I'm in the camp of “say what you mean and mean what you say.” 

You will hear my wife talking a ton about proper nutrition. You will never hear the term diet. In society’s vernacular today those two words, nutrition and diet, are used interchangeably. However, they are not the same. 

Going on a diet has a connotation of once your goal is reached, it's done. For example, you may say, “I want to lose 10 pounds, so I am going on xyz diet”. When you lose those 10 pounds, you’re going to slide back into your crappy eating habits and then lose all your results. 

Now getting onto a good nutrition plan denotes a radical lifestyle change on what you allow to pass your lips for food and beverage. There is no end date. The goal is health, not temporary vanity. Who gives a rip if you look good for two weeks then yo-yo back up? You want to get in great shape and stay there.  

Get a nutrition plan, and kill the diet. 

Just saying
