Guess what pi**ed me off today?
An influx of these random fitness FB groups showing on my feed w/that little 'Join' option at the top. I'm not even IN them nor do I want to be but they keep showing up.
And it's always the same thing. Someone asks something like "how do I lose weight faster" & within the hour they've got a dozen replies from strangers with 0 training telling them to cut carbs completely, do a 40-day water fast, run every single day for an hour before you lift weights — & other bu****it that makes me want to scream.
I'll be honest, sometimes I start typing out an actual answer. Something real, something backed by, oh I don't know, an actual education & 15 yrs of experience. And then I delete it. Because I know exactly what happens next — the keyboard warriors show up to argue with me about their "results," & I just don't have the bandwidth for that.
But here's what bugs me the most: people are ASKING for help. They want to do better. And instead of getting pointed toward someone who actually knows what they're doing, they're getting fed advice from someone with just as little clue as they have — advice that can genuinely wreck a metabolism, a relationship with food, or put them in a worse state than when they started.
You don't know what you don't know. And neither does the person answering you in that comment section.
If you're getting your health advice from a free-for-all Facebook group, please — for the love — find someone qualified instead. You deserve more than their cousins sisters girlfriend guess.
So since you're here & not in one of those groups — here's what I'd actually tell you if you asked me.
It's NOT flashy. It's not trendy. You won't get results overnight but it's what works. Ready?
If you do not have the basics down (sleep, hydration, protein, basic movement & a handle on stress) you will struggle no matter what you do. Supplements, peptides, detoxes, meal plans, etc will only get you so far if you don't have a solid foundation.
I understand you are finally ready to get healthy but it's not happening overnight...the same way you didn't get to your current state of (un)health overnight.
Pick ONE thing. Start there.
