Of course not. Not if it contains SCIENCE.

to be fair, the guidelines are useful re portion control
and the reminder of how much to eat of each bit. left to myself i'll skip breakfast and dinner, which is a terrible way to eat.

So you've answered your own question there.
Basically "Don't be a pig, eat healthy stuff regularly, have some self respect."

but chocolate is GOOD
salad is BAD
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 23 Jul 2013, 11:26, Reply)

Salad can fuck off, it's true, but meat is nice.
Chocolate's boring. Deep-fried balls of salted fat rolled in sugar is where it's at.

If you want to be a fatty, yes.
People are only fat because they want to be. In these days of education for people in the west, the only reason people are fat is through laziness. Eating fruit and vegetables instead of McDonald's in order to lose weight is hardly rocket surgery.

Good on those who manage to make money out of telling people this, though - a fool and his money are soon parted - I know this from bitter experience.

i think some people need a kick - i'm one of them
i run/exercise 3 times a week, but i want to learn a bit more about it, and to improve my fitness and appearance rather than maintaining it. having regular gym sessions with a personal trainer will make me do more exercise, less eating out.

eating healthily yourself is no problem. it's the social life - if you're out every night and it's all about booze and food, it's hard. the gym will be an excuse to cut down on that!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 23 Jul 2013, 11:34, Reply)

Well, yes. The trick is not to go out every night drinking and eating shit.
Of course, this is easy for me, as I don't have any friends, as I am stupid, ignorant and ugly.

I don't see how having a personal trainer will make you do more exercise and less eating out - you've already made the decision to exercise and not eat out on that day.

because, apparently, if you pay several hundred pounds a month
to be told something that a contestant on Britain must be Stopped could probably have worked out for themselves, given enough colours of crayon - then you are more likely to do it.

In fairness, I know a lot of people who follow this kind of approach, and they aren't all complete idiots, so, meh. Although most of them don't use gyms with "We saw you coming" stencilled on the front door, so tend to pay about 10 times less.

i thought a liger was male lion, female tiger, and it was a big fierce beast (they have one in miami, it looked v sad and depressing)
and a tigon was female lion, male tiger, and was rather a wuss in comparison?

Of course it has, sweetie. Of course it has.
There's a lot of people medically qualified in nutrition and sports physiology working as personal trainers in gyms, I find.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 23 Jul 2013, 11:19, Reply)

nah, there are 3 people involved in this
some dr who is a nutritionist, some dr who is a physiotherapist (have to see him tomorrow, hope he's hot), then the personal trainer. who is at least a good advert for her own skills - there is not an ounce of wobble on that bitch.

Gillian McKeith has a doctorate in "nutrition"
she bought it from some US college for $3000.

If the person concerned was even vaguely qualified to help you with your diet, the word you're looking for is "dietician"

she is indeed a dietitian, according to the diet sheet
i have misjudged her

where is her medical degree from?

Hahaha 'medical degree'

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 23 Jul 2013, 11:40, Reply)

If she's calling herself a dietician
she should have a medical degree. Medically protected term, innit? or it used to be. Of course, she could just be a "fucking liar" - it's not like people taking diet advice from a bloody gym are likely to check.
