Doctors should lead by example. Get fit and start prescribing working, tried and tested methods. No reason to listen to a chubby doctor over a fit youtuber.

Except chubby vs fit is the result of many factors only one of which is "has a set of beliefs about nutrition that are consistent with reality".

  Looking healthy over looking unhealthy then.

    Looking healthy is very rarely the same as being healthy.

  Nonetheless, having a set of reality-according convictions that can be (and which are) practically applied appears by far to be a dominant factor, especially when you consider how many of the alternative explanations (eg. endocrine disorders) are heavily influenced by lifestyle choices (which in turn are caused by views about nutrition or exercise that either don't accord with reality or are being incorrectly applied).

A "fit youtuber" probably isn't fit.

  If the ideas doctors recommend worked, they would be employing them. And I don't want to hear about "busy family man" excuses. Would you ever go to a dentist with crooked teeth or a physio with scoliosis?

    As we all know, congenital birth defects are proof that one cannot choose a profession that involves anything even remotely with that defect. For instance, a person with scoliosis simply can not be a physiotherapist. That’s just natural laws, natural consequences at play! It’s a shame you don’t play by your own rules, because then we wouldn’t have to read your idiotic spew.

      If you're a physio and you promise to mend people's scoliosis but cannot mend your own, you are a fraud. By all means, go get scammed. Go buy books and fall for the mythos and appeal to authority.

        I’m convinced that you don’t know what scoliosis is, nor what a physiotherapist does.
