Summary: Andy responds to the comment that if NLP is so good, some NLP trainers should not be overweight. He asks whether weight is a simple individual choice, whether that framing is a moral judgement, and how addiction and denial can come into it. He says he has never known NLP practitioners claim NLP will help with weight loss, and invites viewers to share their views.
