This image below was posted on LinkedIn by a person who described themselves as a "fitness & recovery coach"

But when you Tin Eye/reverse image search these images separately you find:
1. The "butter" one was first used in 2016
2. The "seed oil" was first used in 2017

So, this was not a before/after image.

In 2017 this Bollywood star (Aamir Khan) DELIBERATELY gained 62 lbs for a role...he admitted his way of gaining weight was NOT healthy...but it was for a specific character role. Then he had to lose this weight.

This is how these people like this "fitness coach" like to work...show you an image... make a claim and expect you not to check. Not to mention that most of the content of this "fitness coach" was AI generated. 🙄...this post & the fitness coach has been reported to LinkedIn for fraud/scam and for posting misinformation.
