health nuts

Obsessive fitness enthusiasts

Health nuts are people unusually devoted to healthy eating, exercise, and wellness practices.

The term carries mild mockery—suggesting obsession or evangelism that others find excessive: My brother's such a health nut he won't touch anything with refined sugar.

Sometimes used self-deprecatingly by enthusiasts themselves.
