Many of the terms we hear in the fitness and nutrition industry are trendy, often made-up words intended to catch your attention and create media buzz. Unfortunately, these buzzwords catch fire even without clear definitions or agreement from industry experts.
A few examples of grating terms that we'll unpack here: "clean eating," guilt-free eating, misconceptions around HIIT, thigh gap and anything around earning food. Our aim is to help you strengthen your radar for these misleading and triggering messages so you can squelch the buzz and focus on true health.
