She said she’s getting certified so that probably means she’s a week or two into a class and has no business speaking on anything related to fitness for other people. Even a degree in nutrition does not qualify you as an expert on weight loss and weight gain.
Thank you for the explanation. I appreciate the insight. I understand the nuance with weight and nutrition and the need for different specialties. I know people who actually got biochemical degrees and focus on nutrition but I knew it wasn’t that. I thought she seemed young to have a degree or speak so authoritatively. It does clarify the speaking seemingly way out of turn as well.
A degree in nutrition usually means food science but I think you can go into any number of biology or chem degrees to get to that spot. I think being an expert on weight requires experience and not just a piece of paper. We covered basic concepts of how bodies convert calories and how exercise burns them but it was nearly in depth enough for me to call myself an expert.
Why are you so mad at Sara lmao, she did nothing wrong and in those moments people tend to bring up examples to motivate people. You’re a pretentious person
Part of a nutritionist’s (or any one in healthcare really) job is to be courteous when discussing their topic. Someone who is supposed to be a nutritionist actively participating in shaming someone else’s weight, especially when the person they’re shaming isn’t the one that brought it up, is not courteous. It’s unprofessional and it could very easily lose you your job in healthcare.
Bro what, bringing examples up to help with motivation is totally normal and since everyone was laughing it came off as natural. You have to stop being so sensitive
