This really needs context in order to be considered a relevant phrase. I've had close friends use it on me when I lost over 30% of my obese bodyweight on a diet. Others use it to effectively say, "healthy living is unhealthy," which is of course false.
I believe such a phrase often comes from a place of fear, as do arguments like, "if you are going to stop doing A, you might as well stop doing B, which also comes from the same roots as A!" Points for imagination but humanity doesn't really hold such requirements for us.
