About
FITNESS PUDDING BLOG
The phrase "the proof is in the pudding" originally came from a saying "the proof of the pudding is in the eating", meaning that something has to be experienced in order to truly prove how good it is.
Thus, Fitness Pudding focuses on the experience...to understand and simplify. The fitness and health industry is plagued with products, concepts and theories that can be downright deceitful. The problem is if we take these claims as truth they can begin to shape our viewpoints, decisions and behavior, potentially hindering our adoption of a long-term, healthy lifestyle.
To help, we the experts, put common health, diet and fitness concepts, theories, claims, and products to the test with scientific research, understanding and reasoning.
This blog is for you, the eager consumer, craving that long-term success in your physical activity, nutrition and/or weight-loss related behavior. In a world of misinformation, Fitness Pudding is here to separate fact from fallacy, science from fiction, and honesty from puffery.
