I had a similar experience with a dietitian my GP recommended I talk to.
She was FAT. Like meat-curtain arms, fat! How could I take a thing she said seriously?
And all she did say was:
- Go lo-fat cheese (I don't eat cheese)
- Go lo-fat milk (so the 25-50ml or so I put in my coffee at 3% fat, will be better if I have the 2% fat one? )
- Cut out snacks (I don't snack)
PS. skater - should'a been a poll!
That dietician sounds ridiculous.
Did you tell her to try taking her own advice?
Anyway, eating fat does not make you fat.
You can eat full fat everything, in moderation, and won't get fat if you consume less than your daily calorie expenditure.
I think strength coaches, S&C coaches, sports specific coaches actually have a much higher experience and knowledge base than PT's.
These days PT's seem like salespeople.
Anybody can be a PT, you don't need any qualifications at all.
A 12 year old school obese girl could advertise herself as a PT and accept paying clients.
This is Mark Rippetoe. He's not morbidly obese, but he definitely has a bit of a gut. He's also considered one of the foremost authorities on powerlifting.
I'm not saying all PT's are in his world class, but are you sure you have judged the PT correctly?
Food for thought.
What else would we talk about if such people didn't exist to amuse us ?
Surely logic would dictate the efficacy of a personal trainer would be better indicated by what their clients look like rather than what they look like?
Well I do expect my accountant to have investment properties and know all the ins and outs of deductions and structure.
Marathon runners and Tour de France bike riders would be the fittest around, but they have terrible weak frail looking bodies.
What exactly should a personal trainer look like?
Fit?
Marathon runners and Tour de France bike riders would be the fittest around, but they have terrible weak frail looking bodies.
More muscle mass?
Atheletic looking?
A very high number of PT's are steroid users, which is very misleading to the unaware.
Then there are those who look strong, fit and healthy, but are not, it's just aesthetics
Looks can be very deceiving......
Hmmm....
I've met plenty of mechanics who have the worst car known to man.
I'm related to electrician's whose home is the worst death trap, with bare electrical wires hanging out everywhere - despite young grandchildren running around and constant requests to get it fixed over the past 10 years without success.
I've met Property Managers who rent.
I know cleaners whose own residence is a pigsty.
I know HSE specialists, who due to their lack of co-ordination, are some of the most clumsy, awkward and most dangerous people to have on a worksite.
I know credit people making multi-million dollar decisions in Banks who haven't got two brass razzoos to rub together....we have a few here on this forum.
I know property "specialists" who start up very successful how-to firms and write multiple best selling books who own less than the average Somersoft member.
I know quite a few very fat Doctors who chain smoke.
Most qualified psychiatrists are fruit bats.
Never seen a painter's car with a nice paint job.
.....adding an overweight Personal Trainer to the list doesn't really raise an eyebrow.....
