In a nation that is riddled with sensationalism, over indulgence, drug driven, and always looking for a quick fix, we are constantly looking for the one magic pill that will cure all, the story from rag to riches, and the magic from fat to skinny.
Fact is that a person that has been obese for their whole life or those that yoyo hard with their weight should not be the ones we should use as a guideline to weight loss or fitness. They can only offer you a temporary Band-Aid at best.

Everyone is different and we cannot use someone else’s road map to carve our journey on. Those that are in shape and have been in shape for most of their life while overcoming the obstacles that obese people go through, without allowing themselves to become obese are the best subjects to learn from. As long as those individuals did not use drugs or similar stimulants to stay healthy and as long as they are not fanatical about their weight loss and fitness beliefs.
If you are in your fifties, be very cautious about taking instructions from someone in their twenties. They have not experienced the biological changes that occur as we get older and therefore do not understand the stress or the breaking point of a person’s body that is twice their age.
We have a tendency to make “former” obese people into Gurus and follow them as if they had some kind of magical solution to weight loss, fitness, and nutrition. We also see a young person that is fit, in their twenties or early thirties and follow their workout instructions as if they had any clue how someone twice their age processes fitness, soreness and pain.
An equivalent psychology would be to seek advice on running a marathon from someone who did it only once and not from a professional that does it constantly for a living. Correct and sensible maintenance is the key to a healthy body.
