Actually no, that guy isn't young. He's in his 50's NOW. And, he's probably older now because I had that class 3 years ago. He's a physical trainer. It's not about what you eat. It's about when you eat it. Seriously my nutrition teacher said, and you are not a nutritionist, I mean unless you are one, she said "no food is a bad food". I believe it. It's about moderation even with these foods you consider "bad". If we ate portion sizes, the right ones, with exercise we'd all be fine. EXCEPT, every body is different and digest foods differently. I actually don't eat that much as it is. My weight gain has first of all been from the "freshman 20" (I actually gained exactly 20lbs when I first came to college) and stress (I have depression and social anxiety). Let me rid of those and we'll see me shed the pounds I want to. Plus exercise. I don't exercise, AT ALL. Trust me, if I exercised as much as I am suppose to or a person is suppose to or had just a lot more activity in my life. I'd guarantee you I'd lose the weight I want to and still eat the same. As a young girl I was very active. Always outside running around and ate the same as I do now. A lot of people probably ate a lot of junk as a young kid and claim "well I had a high metabolism" well think back and think about how active we are as kids. Forced to take gym classes althroughout our education. Running around and what not after school. If I had a gym class now and was as active, I wouldn't be having the problem I am having. But, you can deprive yourself of certain foods. All foods are healthy in moderation with exercise. That is what I will continue to believe it. Since it came from a nutritionist. And, I hate sugary stuff by the way, one cookie makes me feel like I am going to throw up or become sick. So, I don't eat them very often, at all. But, anyway, we'll see what happens over Christmas break.
