Is there a way to stop people from talking to me about their diet?

I'm quite thin and in no need of a diet. I can't help but wonder if my coworker thinks I must know something they don't.
I am SO SICK AND TIRED of hearing about their diet, their exercises and their salads and now they mimic how often I snack through the day and it's made me really self conscious, especially when they ask me what I'm eating and offer suggestions. They're always telling me what's healthy and won't shut up. I eat healthy but they're just way overly excited. I'm glad they are getting healthy but it has nothing to do with me and I'm sick of being examined by them.

What can I say to them to give them the hint without them getting mad? I am so sick of being reminded every day, all day, about their diet.

Your genes have a huge impact on how much you weight and not primarily the food you eat.
I have a high metabolism, so basically I burn calories faster than other people which makes me look slim while others gain weight easily. I also have no problem with eating chocolate or anything like that. For gaining weight I'd have to eathuge amounts of food. I guess it's the same with you. I have a very healthy lifestyle as well, but I'm not a rabbit who eats salad every day (though I love salad, hahaha :)). Tell them it's because you are born with a high metabolism. It's all genetic and you either gain weight easily or not. They won't annoy you after you tell them that

I guess you could thank them for flattering you and giving you compliments. Just tell them how you usually eat and work out but REMIND them that every body is going to respond differently to diets/workouts so what works for you may not work for them.. then change the subject and talk about something else :) Ask one, "Hey how do you get your hair so shiny?" and another, "Hey how do you get your skin so clear?".. :)

If you find a way let me know. I'm getting really tired of people randomly talking to me about fitness. I try to be polite and stay quiet but in my head I can't help but scream "your fucking wrong, stop talking, you sound like an idiot"

Just whatever you do try not to take their suggestions they are probably wrong. Just keep your course.

Girls are obsessed with weight. They blame a lot of things on it. After their direction in life comes weight and health. So they have a huge interest in it.

This issue I am having is coming from men actually!

Try starting a conversation abut something interesting before hey get into that discussion and then not participate in the conversation about working out, or say don't you guys do anything else sheesh?

Whenever they bring it up roll your eyes and sarcastically say "That's fascinating, tell me more."
