Am I skinny or are you just fat? I see quite often on social media on body shaming or just people looking for shortcuts on how to become skinny or fit. All of these “tips” I see come directly from Instagram for the most part. So whenever you do one search, more searches appear quite often with what you searched previously, so those recommendations will keep appearing until you search something completely different. From these searches, I see videos on how to lose fat easily which is through intense dieting which never works because it is more work than going to the gym and it makes you miserable. In a podcast, I listened to “Is Being Fat Bad for You?” and around 1:17:00 mark, one of the speakers says, “There is not a single method of weight loss that is non-surgical that meets the standards of being evidence-based treatment”. They mention that there are people that are like 250 pounds and are on a heavily strict diet, yet there is barely any progress to their weight loss. People get their weight loss done through surgical means, but it is costly. At this point, you are better off just going to the gym which helps you lose weight faster if you have a personal trainer to get you to the right path. That way, you won’t need to do intense dieting nor surgery. There are videos that show the same food you eat, but with less macros. I am skinny, so I am bulking which makes me eat whatever I want in order to grow. So, if you think you are not where you want to be, ask a doctor for meaningful advice or ask a personal trainer that can help you get on the right path whether you are skinny or fat!
