I believe that this is just some sort of wacky publicity stunt.
His clients should be offended.
Gaining weight over six months and then losing it will not teach him anything of what it is like to have been that way for years.
His body really won’t have enough time to “become accustomed” to the added weight.
It takes awhile for your body to change hormonally (unless your pregnant) and for chronic issues to occur from the extra weight. He should keep the weight on for at least a year and see what it is like.
The aches and pains he mentions feeling cannot even come close to what one feels when they have been severely overweight for years. Also, the health problems he is experiencing (i.e. high cholesterol and high BP) won’t have enough time to really “damage” his body.
He gained 90lbs over 6 months. How long was he at the 264lbs?
I have seen plenty of professional bodybuilders do what he is doing. They go from lean to obese to lean year after year. They and their bodies know how to be lean and what it take to get there.
That doesn’t teach someone what it is like to try to get there for the first time.
I myself was fat.
I was 65lbs over my “desirable” body weight. (Someone of my height and bone structure, according to the charts, should weight somewhere between 165-185lbs).
Can you tell my favorite color was red?
I was overweight longer than I was wasn’t (at the time).
I know what it is like to be embarrassed about how you look and thinking all the thin, in shape people are making fun of you.
I know what it is like to have all the chronic aches and pains from having to carry around all the extra weight.
I especially know how hard it is to try to lose the weight when neither you nor your body knows how to get or be lean.
This guy is just a jerk.
I am more impressed with the people that go there whole lives being overweight then lose it and keep it off than I am with someone who gains it just to lose it. They just have no idea.
