If you were to ask a thousand health or fitness professionals why someone was overweight, the majority would answer that it’s all about a slow metabolism with the second, third and fourth answers being eats too much, eats too many carbs and does not exercise enough. Sound familiar? These answers lack compassion and are negative – reflecting how people view both those who are overweight and themselves. It’s not about eating too many carbs, being lazy or lacking self-control. Nor, is it about getting older and older people are fatter. It’s not even about hypothyroidism and definitely not about a fast or slow metabolism.
I would like to offer an entirely different perspective and over the next few months share that different perspective with you and then give practical steps that anyone can implement.
