I really like this idea but i havent been able to live comfortably enough to afford anything extra. I submitted my votes though. I live paycheck to paycheck >~<

Ive lost tons of weight in the past but have always struggled to maintain the loss and stay healthy. Anorexia plagued me the last time i lost weight... i wasnt healthy at all.

I appreciate the input! I'll look into that for sure. I've struggled with disordered behaviour as well (nothing diagnosed) so I definitely know it's important to focus on the relationship with yourself and your body.

Hmm, I'd love a personal trainer, but I can't really afford on at any price. I wish you the best of luck, though.

I don't know what I'd pay, but I'd be interested in this if you think you could handle someone like me. I'm already a healthy weight, I just need to eat better quality food. The issue is that I'm an extremely picky eater (Selective Eating Disorder), with multiple food sensitivities that I've yet to pinpoint, so finding food that I can eat is very difficult for me. Because of my special needs, I'd prefer one on one, but depending on cost difference and whether or not I could still get some individual attention, a group would be fine as well.

I'd second this idea - EDs are really frustrating to deal with esp. if you are doing your best to 'be healthy'.

Very interesting! I'm not sure what kind of education I'll get just yet but I imagine I'll be trained to deal with food sensitivity and disordered behaviour. :) Thanks for the input!

I appreciate it!

Well, it is fairly specific, but if I could suggest something, well... Start sport climbing / bouldering if there anything of sorts on your region! Nowdays it is fairly easy to find a climbing gym. (It is better to start doing indoor climbing, I believe)

I always enjoyed being Fit/Healthy, but some activities like jogging or going to the gym are fairly monotonous and mechanical for me. (Doesn't matter the kind of music you put to do it, lol)

This activity demands... -everything- from you. Physical Strength, Loosing body weight (the less you have to lift, the better for you), stamina, balance, and a good amount of puzzle solving mindset. At least for me, it is addicting like hell.
And when you come to a certain grade, it stimulates you to do other activities. For example: I don't like jogging, but it helps so much on climbing, that I started to do it by my own. Also, as some may thing, it's -not- a male activity. Girls do very well on it, if not better than guys!

This is my whole life now, I draw and climb... And I'm happy!

If not, I'd suggest some sort of martial art as well, although it is less "forgiving" than climbing. Anything that you have to use your head together with your body is far more stimulating than just doing repetitive mechanical movements on a gym.

In my head, hiring a traditional coach is just paying someone to force you to do something that you don't really want to do.
But you're trying to be a teacher, a guide which helps people to find something stimulating that will make the motivation come from within, that's something different. (Maybe I just don't like the word "coach")

Climbing, Parkour, Yoga, Capoeira, Calisthenics, anything that deals with movement I guess is more attractive and FUN!
I guess this sums up:

Regarding nutrition, I'd totally support more education about it. In the last years I was able to meet lots of nutrition professionals, and the amount of knowledge about how to eat properly that is NOT spread by the mainstream is unbelievable. The world needs more nutritionists for sure.
If not, nutrition should really be a subject for teaching on early school. What is more basic than eating?

Well, I could spend hours talking about both, but I already gave you a wall-o-text, so I'll shut-up. XD

Climbing actually sounds like a lot of fun, I'd love to give it a try. :)
I 150% agree about teaching nutrition in school. In my highschool they did have a food/nutrition course to some degree but it was taught by a math teacher who basically turned it into a baking class and had everyone bring in baked goods all the time?! which is like... the complete opposite of what you should be doing omg

Please do try! I'd bet a sketch that you'll enjoy it! If I can ever convince someone that it is a nice way to get healthy and have fun at the same time, I'll be a happy man!
But don't make a 1-shot try, do it for a month or so, it is the time it will take for you to start feeling the good effects.
At first, it feels like you're just using your arms, when in fact you're climbing with your whole body. A climber can easily get very nice abs (or even 6 pack!) without ever doing a crunch!

About nutrition, I believe at the moment the worst enemy is the mainstream media, there's a LOT of myth regarding food that is a total disservice for nutrition professionals.
Here in my country, people are neurotic not about health, but about getting thin. They'll do anything but learning to cook properly and exercising.
I find lots people totally cutting carbs from the diets, and not understanding why they feel so tired.
People trying gluten-free diets that will do nothing for them because they don't have celiac disease.
People using coconut oil, or even prohibited pharmaceutical thermogenics!
And the worst of all... Using diet shakes that will simply destroy your liver.
All from TV, magazines and dumb youtube channels.

So, I guess the first step would be teaching people on how to read real scientific articles about nutrition, so they don't rely on those guys!
