Why do people think that reading a few articles on the internet would make them experts in fitness?
I am completing my course in fitness and how incredibly deep and complex the field of fitness is was mind blowing. Everything from exercise analysis ,biology, biochemistry, bio mechanics, physiology, physics(rudimentary) and psychology. Yet people think by reading blogs, wikipedia, spots magazines they can prescribe 4 day hypertrophy split routines(Monday chest day), and a 1000 calorie diet with less than 100 grams of carbohydrates.
I thought trying to substitute your doctor was bad, but trying to substitute physiotherapists, remedial masseuses, personal trainers & fitness instructors? It is beyond dangerous and very unethical. So why do it?
Thank you for sharing and I value your opinion. Having that background in fitness, don't you see that it is exactly these kinds of people who create fitness fads that are detrimental to the people we are trying to help?

I don't think it's so much so that they think they're 'experts', but most of the time when people answer questions about weight loss or being healthy, it should be common sense without having to sit through a fitness course. The course just offers a grander view of how's and why's.
