The "health" industry is anything but healthy, and completely full of nonsense and bullshit designed to steal your money, with lies and empty promises. The major lie, that draws people, and makes billions is that you can look like a fitness model if you just eat a certain way, and do a certain amount of exercises. It's all a lie. All of the fitness models are on performance enhancing drugs. How do you really get a six pack? Emaciate yourself, starve yourself and waste away to under 10% body fat to even begin to see a vague outline, and sit at around 3-5% to be really shredded. You don't have to work out at all. The problem is that remaining at that level of body fat isn't possible without a cocktail of performance enhancing drugs, and hormone replacements. Body fat plans important rules in hormone production and sensitivity. It is commonly said that men can get down to 3% without a problem, but according to actual trails, men can't go below 8% without developing hormonal troubles, and no natural person can have a fat free mass index of higher than 25, and that number is reserved for people have have worked their entire lives, and didn't achieve in a few months, or even a decade.

The problem with starving yourself, is that you'll be weak as shit, feel awful, and muscle will eventually deteriorate. You cannot put on muscle mass without putting on fat too. No one can eat 6000 calories of chicken a day, and not just get fat as hell. So, you can maintain a low body fat, but not without just being scrawny.

That is just the major lying part of it, all of those models are just on drugs, and often delusionally believe their own bullshit. Thinking that sure, the drugs give them an edge, but it's really because they work hard and eat right! Only most of the health advice given are just based on myth and legend, and scientifically counter factual. You don't need shitloads of protein, it won't do anything but wreck your insides. Even the most intense athlete might need 60g a day, but most people do fine on 30. Any more than what is required just causes inflammation, and heart disease. Spacing your meals out to fifteen a day or whatever does absolutely nothing. Your metabolism doesn't change all that much, and does drop if you don't eat, but only about like three days, and not before it first elevates. The metabolism rises based on how big of a meal you ate, so that eating all fifteen meals in one go a day, or eating them spaced out, won't have any effect on your metabolism, over all.

There are no magic cheats. You want to lose weight, starve. It's the only way. Starving isn't even bad for you, until you get underweight. Starving mice increased their live expectancy by a third. Moral of the story, giving animals the opportunity, and they'll always eat too much. We're all gluttons, what we'd consider starving is what healthy eating looks like.

You want to build muscle? Well, first things first, how big is your bone structure? You have small wrists? You're to be disappointed -- but more importantly, you will probably gain a good twenty pounds of muscle the first year that you start being really active, but that's just because you're in abysmal shape, after you can move around alright without fainting, don't expect to add much more in a short time. You might be able to get 20 more lbs in ten more years.

Appearances can be deceiving, and when it comes to the "health" industry, they most certainly are. People buy their garbage, and listen to their shit, because they believe that they're revealing their secrets to how they got looking that way. They won't, and they don't.

Drug testing in sports is a joke too, and if you aren't on performance enhancing drugs then you're in the minority.

They're so bad for you too, ravaging your insides, and they don't even make you as able as you may look. They increase muscle mass, burn fat, give you energy, and all that, but don't improve connective tissue strength, or tendon strength, making injuries way more likely. They fuck up your hormones, and heart, and if you're one of the Hollywood junkies on the expensive stuff, you might even get mad human disease, yup, just like the cows.

(second) Moral of the story, capitalism reigns supreme. Everyone wants your money, and will do or say just about anything to get it. Fines, and lawsuits for false advertising, and misleading bullshit are a joke compared to the possible payouts from naivety, and stupidity.

Just thought I'd rant about my disillusionment with the "health" industry, and also mention how I hate evil capitalism, and corporatism.
