what goes down must come up
As suggested already in the discussion box, the English words "IN" and "OUT" refer, respectively, to entrada/ingesto and salida /¿!!?.
But it has not (yet) been made clear that "GUZ" is a phonetic reference to "goes".
So, "guzinta vs guzouta" is a (deliberately) gross distortion of the classic English expression, "What goes up, must come down" (Newton's first law of gravity, if I recall correctly).
In the gastric context (obsesity, and all that...), it's the inverse: what goes down MUST come up.

lokentra kontra lokesale
Sin ánimo de dármelas de esnob ni de "enterao", tal vez un equivalente "aktual" sería hacer una boutade en el mismo registro del inglés.
Claro que el chistecito fácil sería ke lo ke sale es kk... (aparte de las kilokalorías que se kemen...)
Y perdón por las alusiones eskatológicas.
