English term

out-train a bad diet

English to Spanish Medical Medical (general) Newsletter
A common misconception is that exercise can out-train a bad diet. If you are still eating high-calorie foods, fats, and prepared foods, and hitting restaurant buffets, you are fighting a losing battle. You might feel a bit less guilt about your diet, but even a daily two-mile jog can’t put a dent in a bad diet.

Non-PRO (1): abe(L)solano

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Sí... puede ser que para mí (y no Argentina) la palabra *deficiente* tenga una connotación con sabor a poco, y lo que me da a entender esta pregunta es que se habla de comer mucho y mal; no necesariamente pocos nutrientes, sino de más. En todo caso se lo propondría a Karina, porque en el enlace que pasás está bien explicado y usa los términos *dieta deficiente/mala alimentación/poco saludable* como sinónimos.

Sí, es lo que entiendo yo también. :-) En España, funciona bien esa expresión. En Argentina, no sé. :-)

Puede ser, Kirsten... pero creo que en este caso tiene que ver con alimentarse mal o con que esa alimentación sea poco saludable, y no necesariamente una dieta deficiente (en nutrientes); porque la idea en este contexto es que no sirve ejercitarse para compensar o contrarrestar lo que uno comió de más.
Kirsten Larsen (X) Jun 26, 2019:
.... o "compensar una dieta deficiente".
