| Hey there, Just because someone lost a bunch or weight or built a bunch of muscle, it doesn't mean they're qualified to be a trainer or coach. Some of the worst fitness advice is peddled by some of the fittest people. For example, many of these ninnies say the “secret” to getting and staying lean is optimizing your hormones by eating the “right” foods and avoiding the “wrong” ones. In reality, organs can make you fat. Grains can make you fat. Nuts can make you fat. Seed oils can make you fat. Fruit can make you fat. Sugar can make you fat. Cheese can make you fat. Starches can make you fat. Eggs can make you fat. Meat can make you fat. The moral? Just about anything can make you fat if you eat too much of it. Bad training takes abound as well and come in many flavors—complexity, extremity, eccentricity, you can fill in the rest. What “they’re” all usually not telling you, however, is the business end of effective strength training is basically drudging through the same couple dozen or so elementary exercises until you die. And don’t even get me started on supplements. Every day, another double-tongued influencer announces yet another pack of pills, powders, and potions, but many of the ingredients in these products either haven't been scientifically proven to do what you’re paying for (collagen protein, MCT oil, apple cider anything, glutamine, CBD, hydration drinks) or have been proven outright ineffective (“testosterone boosters,” BCAAs, EAAs, garcinia cambogia, CLA, raspberry ketones).
