Hi I'm Barry a freelance writer for fitness magazines

My qualifications

I hold a Masters and Bachelors Degrees in Chemical/ Biochemical Engineering from Harvard University and 6 US patents in consumer product processing as co author or contributor. I assisted in the Presidential Fitness campaigns initial analysis of BMI. I also wrote the body mass journal used at most universities in the studies pertaining to fat cells and there permanent presence in the body dependent on body composition. Body composition is the term used to describe the different components that, when taken together, make up a person's body weight. The human body is composed of a variety of different tissue types including lean tissues (muscle, bone, and organs) that are metabolically active, and fat (adipose) tissue that is not.

I could go on if you like.

And your qualifications, if I may be so bold to ask???

Cheers Barry
 
Steve's qualification - he helped me and many others lose hundreds of pounds after in my case two decades of extreme morbid obesity.

If we all posted here - we could go on a very long time......
 
Hi Matt

I look forward to many more discussions. I don't blog or itune or iblog or i yayayaya. Not very savy when it comes to internet. To be honest my assistant was kind enough to show me today how to do this.

I currently work at two research lab's. My interest was in finding stories about weight loss programs. I am writing an article for a magazine.

Thanks for responding. Keep up the good work

Barry
 
Definitions for Omega 3

Their, There, or They're?

Their is a possessive pronoun. It always describes a noun.

Note the spelling of their. It comes from the word they, so the e comes before the i.


There is an adverb meaning "that location." It is sometimes used with the verb to be as an idiom. It is spelled like here which means "this location."


They're is a contraction of they are. Note the spelling: The a from are is replaced by an apostrophe.


Examples: Their dog has fleas. (possessive of they)

I put the collar right there. (that location)

I am happy you are now an Alpha , Mr. Omega
 
So you meant "fat cells and THERE"......

LOL - maybe you have got too used to relying on proof readers.
-----

No-one said or implied that I was male...

I think that you jump to too many conclusions.
 
People often use the wrong word in their haste to post, I often see "too" for "to" or "weight" for "weigh". Probably more a function of being in a hurry and not proofing a quick post, but shouldn't generally reflect on a person's knowledge and intelligence.
 
Relax. Very defensive. All is well

If you would like to proof read for me, I'll take it under consideration.

As for your personal trainer helping you lose 100's of pound, that is wonderful if true. I question the validity. i.e. "so many of us". The weight loss Guru??
Doubtful. I am selling and promoting nothing. You on the otherhand are self promoting
 
You're providing no useful discussion and only asking people to help you do your job while being a dick.

To top it all off you are now questioning the validity of someone's weight loss/ the help provided by perhaps the most respected member of the board.


Greeaaaaaaaaaaaaaat start Barry.

That's great, thanks. Being as how you're admittedly ignorant to web communities such as this, you're more than likely unaware of the bullshit these sort of communities endure.

This forum is high traffic, so it's a breeding ground for con artists.

Pre-screening so called professionals is somewhat of a necessity.

That said, please don't take offense to being asked your qualifications. It's hard to tell, but it seems you have. The intent is only for the good of the community.

Also, if what you say is true, it's great to have someone of your experience here. Where can I read your journal pertaining to fat cells?

Also, adipose tissue is not metabolically active? Do you mean it's less metabolically active than other tissues?

I could go on if you like.

No need, though I'd like to read your journal as noted above. Is it on pubmed?

And your qualifications, if I may be so bold to ask???

Qualifications for what? Asking you your qualifications?

If that's the case, I think it's only fair to expect to share your qualifications if you're writing as an authority. I know I'd expect it, not that I wrote the book on what's appropriate. I simply don't take offense to such questions.

Me?

I'm a trainer, is all. Also a moderator here, which is merely a glorified spam deleter. That said, I think the mods here also have the responsibility of weeding out some of the good "professionals" from the bad.
 
I agree with Steve. His asking for your qualifications is something important for mods to do and not at all insulting. Steve is also very well respected on the forum, and we ask that you, especially being new, give the respect our members deserve. We get tons of so called "experts" on the forum and we're all pretty skeptical when another one shows up.

So you are not here to participate in the forum, just to ask for our experiences?
 
To Steve- Personal trainer

In histology, adipose tissue or body fat or just fat is loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Adipose tissue is derived from lipoblasts. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the body. Obesity or being overweight in humans and most animals does not depend on body weight but on the amount of body fat—specifically, adipose tissue.

And I still await your qualifications. Something you conveniently keep avoiding.

As for 7, please refrain from name calling. It is unbecoming of you.

As for all that have emailed me so far, thank you.
 
Please note again

I am selling nothing. I am not peddling personal training or diet pills, or my own web site.

I merely asked that those who wish to share in my research contact me. It can be anonymous

If you have been duped by a personal trainer who represents himself as omnipotent, I feel for you. However, how many of you have spent money with him? I ask for only sharing. No money.
 
You question the validity of my weight loss.

removal of data as stated in the post
It can easily be confirmed by my GP - Dr K.K xxxxxx
of xxxxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxxend of edited section

It is a small practice and you do not need to know my name.

Photographs are well hidden within my journal. She can confirm that they are of the same person and she can also confirm my start and current weight.

Please make note of this data as I will remove it as personal in the near future.

I have no wish to be involved in your project or any other of a similar nature.

I am certainly not self publicising.

You however have made adverse comments about Steve who is held in the highest respect here. He is well read and has helped many people on this forum. His suggestions have often helped people get results.

He is not my personal trainer.

He makes no money from this forum.

I have never made any money from this forum and never will.

You want to write a story as a freelance journalist. You therefore want to make money from your relationship with this forum.

I didn't ask for the definition of fat, but thanks.

I asked you, "Did you mean to say adipose tissue is less metabolically active than other tissues?" when you said, "adipose tissue is not metabolically active"?

And I still await your qualifications. Something you conveniently keep avoiding.

I'm not sure if you're asking me this question since you haven't mastered the quote feature yet. Maybe you can direct your questions by name until you get things figured out.

If you're asking me, I did answer your question. I'm a trainer, is all. If that is not satisfactory to you, my apologies. But it is what I do and love.

Listen Barry... personally I take no issue with this.

All I asked were for qualifications, and rightfully so. You've provided them and now those who are interested in participating in your "research" will do so.

Good luck!

I'm not sure where this is coming from. Why the attack on personal trainers? Sure, a majority of them are god awful. But the same can be said about dishonest authors of articles pertaining to fat loss. I'm not judging you or your profession, so please don't make blanket statements about personal trainers.

Thanks.
