Would you take nutrition advice from a fat person?

Sure.. just because they're overweight doesn't mean they don't know anything about nutrition. It just means they don't use their own knowledge for themselves.

Depends. A lot of coaches are fat, but they seem to know how to get people into shape. They just don't care to do it themselves.

I might take nutrition advice, but definitely not motivation advice.

hey, some people live by the do as i say, not as i do mentality. if the advice was legit, i'd take it.

Honestly, probably not. I would if I knew that they had lost weight and was becoming healthy.

Yes I would. There is more to nutrition that how much you weigh. And I've known several overweight people that were healthier than thin people and who ate better nutritionally than most average people.
