“Fat People Die Before They Should”: Bodybuilding Coach Gives a Brutal Reality Check to Those Normalizing Obesity

IFBB Pro Marc Lobliner has created a sizable following on social media in recent times. The bodybuilding coach and influencer isn’t known for beating around the bush when making bold statements. The entrepreneur therefore uses his social media to inspire and often drops strong takes on serious subjects. Earlier, the Chief Marketing Officer of Tiger Fitness didn’t hold back while speaking on obesity.

The competitive bodybuilder had no flattering words for people who are obese. Lobliner gave a brutal reality check claiming those who remain obese are shortening their lives. He also said the onus to lose weight and regain their fitness is on those who gained excessive fat.

Mark Lobliner doesn’t approve normalization of obesity

In the Instagram video, Lobliner seemed quite animated as he addressed the mindset of people who gain unhealthy amounts of weight and remain obese. “Fat people die before they should and have a significantly reduced quality of life,” Lobliner stated. The coach said it’s a fact and those who normalize obesity cannot escape this reality.

The entrepreneur implied that obese individuals are addicted to fast food. He admitted that health conditions like PCOS might make someone put on a lot of weight. However, the bodybuilding coach said an “extremely tiny portion” of the population suffers from PCOS. “You just really liked food and you hate exercising,” said Lobliner.

The trainer also acknowledged that gaining a little weight wouldn’t cause harm. However, he addressed those who are obese, or worse, morbidly obese. However, the bodybuilder didn’t just criticize, he also explained that obese people could become fit. According to Lobliner there are plenty of free resources, including his free ebook, that could help people lose weight. “Stop being a victim,” said the Tiger Fitness marketing officer. However, not even bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger was safe from Lobliner’s unfiltered statements.

Despite being a fan of old-school bodybuilding, the Tiger Fitness marketing officer explained that Arnold Schwarzenegger wouldn’t stand a chance against today’s Mr. Olympia competitors. Although Schwarzenegger retired from competitive bodybuilding in 1980, the seven-time Mr. Olympia’s impact permeates through the sport even today.
