I thought that finally, some genetically gifted trainer would get a clue on how it feels to be overweight and unmotivated, and how hard it truly is to try to get in shape, a state that many of us have never been in in the first place. While the beginning was ok because I was interested on how this was going to go, and it was ok as he got fat and unmotivated, but as soon as he hits bottom, he just starts getting super preachy and constantly talking about drawing on his "being fit" mentalities (that is, the stuff he thought while he was super fit, that helped keep him that way). Honestly, I was sick of him before he could get back to being in shape. OMG he learned NOTHING. Because while he has family to push him, a fitness business, colleagues in the fitness industry, and he remembers and has experience on how it is to successfully be fit and strong, many of us don't have that. I was a fat kid, a fat teen, and a fat adult. I never had the years of being super fit or a mindset that helped me run my life that way. I don't need to read any of his preachy "motivation" or whatever he thinks he's pushing. Spoiler: he gets himself out of it and goes back to being fit. *rolls eyes*. I found it even more irritating that he truly never understands, because while he took a mini vacay into being fat, it's not how he's lived for decades. Sure, he knows it sucks to be fat, but what he doesn't actually "get" is the actual struggle to get fit. Remember, he's already genetically programmed to be fit. He's got it in him, and he has had decades of experience being that way. He got back to being fit. He didn't spend 5 years doing it, he did it in 6 MONTHS! AHAHAH. I have worked out with a trainer for YEARS and have not (and will never) achieve a hard body. He's like rich people driving through slums and suddenly thinking they "understand", but then going back to their white picket fence houses in the snooty area, and telling people in the slums that "I been there, I KNOW! All you gotta do is work hard and leave". UGH. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Provides steps to a fundamental shift in a lifestyle to become healthy *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2021* The author, a personal trainer, overtook an unprecedented journey to gain weight in order to understand the difficulties overweight people face.This book is a good insight into what it feels like being overweight. I find it to be very valuable because it also offers a strategy to overcome the challenges on the way of becoming healthy, and not just a quick dieting solution. It provides steps to a fundamental shift in a lifestyle, being super conscious about making everyday choices, owning accountability for being overweight. The negative reviews probably come from people who either look for easier ways, or see themselves genetically unfit, and might benefit from looking into books like The Science of Self-Discipline by Peter Hollins, and Atomic Habits by James Clear.Here is a brief description of each chapter.In chapter 1 the author talks about how it feels to be overweight, and what led him to take that journey from fit to fat.In chapter 2 the author shares his beliefs about why people are overweight, and how these beliefs kept him from making a bigger impact, and that he decided to gain weight in order to get a perspective of what overweight people have to go through when they try to lose weight.Chapter 3 describes the significance of the habits, as well as physical and emotional challenges that overweight people deal with. Extra weight causes personality changes in a way that makes it difficult to change a lifestyle to a healthy one. It is not as simple as “deciding” to be healthy. One needs good reasons, strong will, intrinsic motivation, and support.Chapter 4 is written by the author's wife and describes the impact of the Fit2Fat phase on their marriage. There is a physical-emotional barrier which stops people from getting healthy, the barrier that personal trainers don’t see because they are not surrounded by the same temptations, and don’t understand what it’s like to be comfortably sedentary. Being overweight is never a purely personal issue. It affects everyone, in one way or another.Chapter 5 is where the Fat2Fit journey starts. Being healthy is a choice, getting healthy is an entirely different enterprise that requires a mind shift, a strategy, and a lot of support. Hunger pangs, pounding headaches, and other symptoms of drug-induced withdrawal follow. Author talks about a general flaw of all weight loss programs, and describes a holistic approach to a weight loss. In the beginning he had to force himself to make right choices until the new choices became habits.Chapter 6 is where the author describes how it feels starting the exercises again.Chapter 7 talks about approaching a new goal with a balance between encouragement and accountability, and how to stay committed.Chapter 8 is about the danger of reaching a plateau, and strategies on how to move on.ConclusionBeing overweight is not all about the waistline. Anyone who has been overweight knows that the real battle lies in the emotional and mental difficulties presented. Some people are incapable of pushing themselves adequately. There should be a balance between nutrition, fitness, persistence, and support. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspirational *by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2017* Good book, easy to read, great recipes.
