Anyone see today's highlighted Shine article on Yahoo! re: fitness?? It's an awesome interview with a personal trainer (who has been fit his whole life) and GAINS 6 months worth of UNHEALTHY weight (he is still in this phase) and then will turn around and shed the weight 6 months later... he's doing all of this to see how difficult it can really be for someone to lose weight and keep it off! I praise the guy for putting himself through all the physical & emotional torment this can do to someone's body and body image... that's dedication to a job! I can't wait to hear the update in 6 months... I love this because I've been down this journey... I am a personal trainer and I HAVE gained 70lbs.. I had a baby of course but getting the weight off is tough! Cudos.. to all you personal trainers who have their own personal stories to share, that's what makes us real!! :drinker:

Lets hope he doesn't do himself any lasting damage with this experiment.
At least he is trying to find out a bit more, but his mind set is not going to be the same as a life long overeater is it. He will just go back to doing what he has always done, eat healthily and excecise like mad and it will probably drop of him quickly.
Do you think this will help him understand the emotional barriers that prevent weight loss? It will be interesting to see if it does.0
