-How's that working out for you?--

Is the question that I ask people on a regular basis when they give me their unwanted advice or opinion. 

And I see it so much in the fitness industry, and it really 100% is not directed at anyone in particular, but whenever someone puts or posts stuff about their diet, you get some people who jump on it and want to slag and slate them. 

Everybody has their own methods and theories, and I respect that completely.  

I'm not a big fan of meal replacements.  

In fact, I really don't like them.  

I'm not a big fan of juicing detoxes.  I really don't like them.  

However, I have friends who do promote them. And I respect them and I respect their decision to do that.

But when you get people who go on and slate people and coaches for their methods because they differ from theirs, all it does is shows you one thing.  

They're insecure about their own abilities, and they're insecure about their own knowledge because they don't have any other way to try and attract clients because either their methods aren't attractive.  

Two, they're not practicing what they preach. 

I've never really seen anybody or any coach who's in great shape constantly slags and slates other people's methods.  

What I tend to see is coaches who perhaps aren't in the best of shape themselves that will slate somebody for preaching a method that has worked for them.  

In my opinion, take it or leave it. 

Because this is my post page, and I'll post it if I want to. 

That's right.  In my opinion, results are always going to trump anything else. 

So if you're an out-of-shape trainer trying to slag another person's methods but they're in shape, I'm going to listen to the person who's in shape more so, regardless of what you try and back up with.  Because, to me, it's everything.

 If you're an out-of-shape trainer, your methods aren't working for you. 

And that's the first and foremost thing that I would consider.  

So please keep your opinions to yourself until you're in the right sort of shape before you start slating somebody else.  It really upsets me and frustrates me to see the fitness industry that's supposed to help other people, slag, slate, slam anyone else for their methods and theories, particularly if they're not perfect themselves.  

Anyone who wants to disagree, that sounds pretty cool. I'm really not asking for anyone else's opinion, I just wanted to vent this to myself because I feel it has to be said.
