Everyone is wrong about the obesity crisis and it triggers me as an ex-trainer.
Fat shaming IS bad.
It leads to eating disorders/mental issues due to desperation of how much they hate their bodies.
Fat "acceptance" is giving up.
You shouldn't accept anything you have the power to change.
But there's so much misinformation out there that people try these headass ways to lose weight and eventually give up.
The best way to manage your weight is through small, gradual lifestyle improvements with an honest trainer.
Everything is so polarized these days that people with common sense and expertise get drowned out by fools!
It's so sad because we can help fat people so easily and they can't get the help they need because of grifters looking for 💰 and lazy people who want a good excuse to give up.
You shouldn't LIE and say being fat is healthy but you can positively nudge them in the right direction.
I want to find this miracle person that does not lose weight on a low calorie diet
That person can break the law of conservation of energy
They should be studied so this can be duplicated
@shortstories
I know you're joking but the reason why people come to these bizarre conclusions is because of the whirlwind of disinformation surrounding weight loss.
Due to peoples love for novelty they try these strange contraptions and fancy pills, instead of doing what's tried and true, until eventually give up and assume it's impossible.
It's truly a sad State of affairs
I am not joking I believe that if the client spent the amount of money it takes to get the personal training certificate on hiring personal trainers then the client would be better off buying the personal trainer certification test, studyiny for the test, passing the test & getting certified as a personal trainer
Then applying those principles they learned to their own exercise regiment
It is the difference between paying someone else to fish & paying to teach yourself to fish
> The personal trainer has no special exercise knowledge based on that certification that the client can not get by studying the same material
That's true but you're missing the point.
Trainers are valued for external accountability moreso than their knowledge.
The purpose of the cert is mainly liability reasons.
@basedbagel
There are approximately four organizations that certify
The certification test is less than $1000 if you spend 20 hours with a personal trainer at $50 per hour then you could have gotten the certification multiple times by paying for it instead of a trainer
The personal trainer has no special exercise knowledge based on that certification that the client can not get by studying the same material
You should point out being fat can be bad for their health without being a jerk
