So something I just wanted to talk about really quick was losing weight because I have seen it all over TikTok a lot of like fitness influencers a majority of these fitness influencers also do not have any type of certificate or degree So but they're saying like there's like trying to fight the whole like science behind everything like you can lose weight without being in a calorie deficit and like putting people on super restrictive diet essentially and stuff so for one if you're looking for a coach or a trainer anything like that do your research and make sure they have some type of certificate or degree Because the white one if they don't have any of that and they're like out here giving out meal plans workout plans that's illegal and stuff and it could be very dangerous and to like the only way to lose weight it does not matter if you're doing Paleo keto carb cycling whatever diet you were doing choosing to do in order to lose weight you have to be in a calorie deficit like and that's it Know if you're like putting on muscle mass up losing by far that's a little different but like for me I'm doing that and I'm at maintenance I'm not necessarily in a deficit or a surplus so just do your research on people before you commit to somebody make sure they're right fit for you and they know what they're talking about

I 100% agree with you. I actually work in the social media industry and I can't begin to tell you how many times somebody got influenced and purchased something and then they realized it really wasn't all that. And for the reasons that you shared and I always always always tell people, do your research. Like literally Google's there for a reason, the internet's there, there's like obviously resources like a doctor or nutritionist. Like they are there for a reason. Like don't rely on TikTok.

That's a good call out Bethany. I mean like every time I go to a gym like you can't even sign up for a membership Right before they're like what are your goals meet our personal trainers? You want to use one of our personal trainers line up for this many sessions? Oh, I can give you this many sessions for this amount of money and I'm like, bro I just want to go to the gym like I don't even know who these people are like why you guys trying to sell me on personal training It's just like it's a really weird the whole industry is like weird we talked about like that for a second
