I watched Fit TV recently and wondered...
Why are many dieticians overweight? Shouldn't they practice what they preach, especially to make people think that what ever advise they are giving will actually work? This thought came to mind when I was watching a show called The Gym. I believe that dieticians should be like trainers. If I go to a gym to seek help and advise from a trainer, I don't expect to meet with an overweight person who has no visible muscle. With that said, there was a dietician on a show that followed The Gym that was very obese. This is not the first time where I've watched a health show they showed an obese dietician. I don't understand.

They overeat diet foods and will sue for discrimination if fired. Just a thought! Mow
This is like having a VP of Technology that doesn't know anything about Technology. Good point.
There's a trainer at my gym who says she has always struggled with her weight, so she became a trainer and a nutricianist. Of course, I go to a gym that preaches being healthy and feeling good in your own body, not arbitrary numbers that designate "overweight."
The numbers are like the lines on the road that help keep you in line and provide a path and structure for being healthy. Having a nutritionist/trainer that isn't in shape is the equivalent of listening to Howard Stern for moral guidance.
This trainer is in shape, I believe, but not in a weight class or even of an appearance that would make one think that she was slender. She looks heafty, but she can out-aerobic me any day.
