What are your thoughts about these BOLD statements??
Darnest things
By Pauline Nordin
You know that old show “kids say the most darnest things” or whatever the name was… Well, it should not have been ‘the kids’, it should be the adults! When you focus on your fitness and it starts to pay off visibly, suddenly the people around you get very concerned:
“oh don’t lose more weight now, you are starting to look sickly”
“I think you might have gotten anorexia, eat a little pie, honey”
“Don’t get too skinny on me now, you’re all skin and bone” said when you have atleast 10 more lbs you want OFF.
“Protein powder huh? That’s like steroids!”
“I knew one lady who worked out a lot and she started to look like a man”
“Dieting does not work sweetie, when you go off the weight will climb up right back’ya!”
“What’s that smell…yuck! Broccoli?????? Go eat somewhere else! Not here in the office building!”
“Women should train with light weights and high reps to tone, not to build”
“Men don’t need cardio. Your testosterone gets suppressed by it”
I was told a lot of stupid things when I was younger:
“You cannot grow muscles without steroids”
“Everyone uses steroids”
“Cardio should be done only off season”
“You can never be lean 365 days a year”
“You need grains, starches, bread and fruit to build muscle”
“You need to ingest fast carbs after training if you want to build muscle”
“You cannot diet and gain muscle at the same time”
“girls with six pack are on steroids”
“If you do cardio after leg day your legs will get skinny”
“You break down all muscle if you train on an empty stomach”
“You need to have a cheat day a week because your body NEEDS it”
“You don’t get fatter from cheat days”
“You cannot eat too much protein. Those calories don’t count”
“vegetables don’t give you energy”
“You need to eat meat every day”
“You will get tired of working out”
“What are you gonna do when you stop
working out?”
“Women are not supposed to have a lot of muscle”
“Women should not deadlift, it makes their waists thick”
bla bla bla bla blaaaaa.
If only people knew when to talk and when to shut up. I was taught don’t comment on things you don’t know anything about. Apparently very few people are taught that!;-)
