Hahaha, it's exactly that! I have seen so many people especially in work claim to be on some special eating regime and then they literally eat butter by the pound and cheese galore. I tried telling someone once that a bit of exercise might not be a bad thing and they said there was no need as they walked plenty in the office. You have to laugh!!

yeah, you can't tell them... they either want to know or they believe they are special and the rules don;t apply... My husband is a doctor and actually deals quite a lot with people that want to loose weight... MOST people don't know how much they are eating/how little the exercise... However there are not many of them that actively accept the fact that they are eating 3000 calories a day for their 1600 calorie maintanence weight and think that if they go to the gym... they earnt a mars bar.
can't help them...
THAT is another story... young girl (bless her cotton socks) who came to our gym because she was awfully overweight, did 10 mins walking on the treadmill.... then walked out eating a mars bar because she was "hypo" after all the good exercise at the gym... anyway. something about holier than thou, as i certainly am not following my advice... however i am also not stupid enough to believe that i am doing the right thing... wine and cheese is DEFINITLEY the reason for me :-)
anyway. school run awaits....
I am hardly a paragon of virtue either but I do try and keep the worst at bay by going to the gym. One of my mates always eats two snickers before he has a workout to give him energy ... Give you a clue, he isn't all skinny and buff 🤣🤣
Yeah i am a fairly moderate gym goer (for my little size i can leg press 200kg) unless you are arnie swartz doing 2-4 hours of intense weights... you don't need nothing before gym.... certainly not chocolate...
Ooo, impressive! Yeah, stuff eating loads of chocolate in advance, it's like the royal opposite of what you should be doing!
