Dull muscle pain on the second day — growth. Sharp joint pain at the moment it happens — injury. Between the two — overtraining. A table of differences and what to do in each case.
“I’m on a diet” requires a decision every time. “I don’t eat sugar” is a fact about yourself, like “I don’t smoke.” Why habits tied to “who I am” last for years, and how to choose your phrase.
