I love how matter-of-fact and honest you were about still associating a lower weight as a "good" thing, and that your solution is to avoid that data. It is so helpful to hear that sometimes navigating those self-esteem traps means healthy avoidance, you don't necessarily need to magically change years of societal programming. Your messaging is always so on point! Thank you!

He's basically telling me I can't do what I already did. I reduced my carbs and sugar and walked on my treadmil 5 miles a day. I lost 43 lbs in 7 months. 7 months sounds like a long time I know but I've kept it off for 6 months so far. I worked hard but didn't starve myself. 35 to 40 lbs was my goal. Prayer and the healthy habitsI learned along the way have helped me keep the weight off.

@treasuretroll3319 25 күн бұрын

I've lost 40 lbs so far. I just plan my meals and snacks for the day with my fitness pal tracker. I find ways to have 3 meals and 2 snacks without going over on my calories. I also exercise a few days a week. Carbs is what keeps you from losing weight. I try to stay under 25 carbs, with a few days here and there where I go over a bit on my carbs.

@treasuretroll3319 25 күн бұрын

You have got to learn how to cook healthy, make healthier deserts, choose healthier snacks. Only drink water w an occasional coffee. If you like pizza...learn to make it a healthier way with cauliflower crust. If you like cake.. learn to make it w almond or coconut flour instead of reg our. Limit fruit. Slow and steady wins the race!!

Glad I saw your video when I googled vshred reviews. I was tempted in purchasing the $57 for the program when the ad popped up to take the quiz when I was watching a KZfaq video. When I first saw the video after taking the quiz I thought finally something I can afford that's in my budget. Have been looking online like Instagram for online coaching programs but they're asking for thousands. One guy wanted to charge me almost $5000 for a year one on one including his app with exercises. I'm a beginner when it comes to lifting weights and working out. I've been losing weight but I've been yoyoing for a couple of weeks and am looking for someone with the answer to guide me into doing things the right way where I'll see results and not have lose skin. I guess I'll continue to look around until I find something that'll help me achieve my goal without breaking the bank into debt. Thanks for your video again. Happy Holidays!

I do intermittent fasting with low carb (I am class 2 obese) for a few months now and never get hungry but the total loss of appetite has become a huge pain in the aaa. Life is emptier when you're not getting any joy out of food, the weight loss is fast but I have to choke down food I don't want every day, and if I don't make myself eat enough I'm exhausted the next day. I'd much rather get hungry sometimes but also be able to enjoy eating. I may need to drop the low carb :(

Thank you so much for this! I fell for the ads being thrown in my face during this new year and decided to give it a shot by just paying their $60 to get the meal plan and the exercise videos and the metabolism assessment... I got absolutely nothing out of it except the realization that if I didn't buy all the supplements I wouldn't succeed. If I didn't follow everything they said as opposed to maybe another personal trainer or a dietitian or a nutritionist. I wouldn't succeed. For my metabolism assessment. I never got a score I was just told I'm on the lower end and I really need to do this that in the other aka by their supplements in order to succeed in achieving my fitness goals. I have written to them with my complaints and I am no longer pursuing the shred. I'm going to return to what always worked for me before I stopped exercising and maintaining my healthy diet! Thank you!!!! PS I complained and got my full refund!

For me, periodic fasting plus walking on a treadmill at 3mph at an incline for 3-5 miles X number of times a time works. I can usually drop a good amount of weight when I try. This approach saves on the knees and joints. You don't need to sprint yourself to death on the treadmill to get in shape.

Just came across this video after watching the body type thing and I'm glad I did. I'm starting a weight loss journey but I've always had it in my mind that I don't want to make myself miserable so I am not completely changing my diet so that I hate what I eat, I'm just not eating as big of portions and I'm trying to snack less, drink less soda etc. Alongside this I've joined the gym and I am doing daily walks to and from work whilst having a couple of rest days. I don't eat the most healthy even after these changes but I think I would rather have slow gradual loss than completely hate my life and relationship with food for the forseeable future.

I agree with you on many of your points. Carb cycling, while it is effective, is an advanced tool that should only be utilized for certain purposes. most people cannot sustain this diet and it does not help the overall issues. I agree also that the restrict then eat what you want is bad. I think the biggest issue for people is they have a bad relationship with food. they do not know how to eat healthier or understand what and how much they should eat. the binge/restrict further hurts their understanding of healthy eating habits and keeps them going up and down. i think many experts promote this so that they can keep people coming back as recurring clients. I think we need to be more mindful about how we describe people who are overweight. i don't think we should demonize nor say it is ok. If you are overweight, you still deserve all the rights any other person deserves. no one should insult you. However, it is not ok as it can lead to health problems and you should work to find some solution.

@BeReal918 2 ай бұрын

Step 1: *Diet* : Eat healthy, organic, limited processed foods, and avoid excess sugar. Step 2: *Exercise:* Do 1hr daily of intense cardio & some type of weight training (calisthenics, free weights, machines). Step 3: *Intermittent Fasting:* Pick an 8hr window during the day where you eat. Ex. 12pm - 8am. (At least 3 hrs _before_ bedtime) Step 4: Drink LOTS of water, especially in the morning to stay hydrated & decrease hunger before your "fast window".

@JustinaErcole Жыл бұрын

Hey! So fat loss comes down to being in a caloric deficit, and I have a lot of videos on that. But there is no such thing as a "fat loss" or "weight loss" workout. Hope that helps!

I stumbled upon this video when I googled “is VSHRED legit?” I’m now a subscriber!! I had weight loss surgery (LapBand) in 2004. The most I lost was 125 pounds, but I’ve managed to keep it around 100 pounds if I’m just eating normally and trying to get in some exercise a couple times a week (trying). I have about 20 pounds that I’d like to lose, but I’m a size 8/10, and I’m honestly happy with it. But I’d like to be stronger and less “soft.” (😂😂 Had to throw that in there). Health is my main concern. I’m 41, and my body has changed quite a bit. But I want to be healthy and strong. That’s all. I look forward to learning better ways to achieve my goals from your channel!

OMG! You are so funny watching your video! You’re obviously very educated in the fitness industry. I’m always seeing this infomercial, so I just did a Google search on “is Vshred basically weight training/resistance training, and healthy eating?” Your video popped up first and I so enjoyed watching your expressions as you’re watching his infomercial. It made me feel like I was with the girlfriend of mine watching it together. It’s too bad that there’s not a free infomercial out there. They got so much attention that honestly educated men and women on how to get in good shape because it just gets so much coverage but like you said it’s a corporation and all they care about is the bottom line $$$$ and not actually helping people! Thanks again for your video!

I purchased the fat loss extreme program years ago when v-shred first came out. I followed the carb cycle dropped about 30 lbs but the diet wasn’t sustainable with constant changes in my life. And gained all the weight back.

@chm1701 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your explanations. Unfortunately, this company is aiming itself towards people who are vulnerable, like myself, who are unhappy with their weight. I was just looking to see what’s what on KZfaq (just watching my subs), when all of a sudden I see an advert that shows V-Shred. It seems like the “answer to all problems”, but something really just didn’t sit right with me, and I’m glad that I was right. Keep up the good work. All the best from the UK.

I would love a video on starvation mode! I have apparently eaten too little for my body before and was told I wasn’t losing weight because I wasn’t eating enough and jacked up my metabolism. I thought there was some truth to it but I was also like “that doesn’t make sense!” Still haven’t figured it out exactly. Is there some threshold or “sweet spot” of sorts to where there starvation mode theory is accurate?? Thank you!

Thank you Justina! As always very helpful video! Thank you for talking about fat shaming and the risk of binge eating. If you're interested, 2 years ago Josh Brett made a very good youtube video about Vshred (we need to stop Vshred), I can highly recommend it. Another topic that would be interesting is the hype about reverse diet as if it would be possible to increase your metabolism as much as you want by eating more without gaining fat.. these influencers that promote it are really damaging people who already struggle with their weight.

@JustinaErcole Жыл бұрын

I actually watched it yesterday after a few others recommended it, so thank you! And honestly, reverse dieting is a little out of my scope if I’m being honest with myself. But there are some excellent RDs on here who have discussed it!

I’ve listened to several of these diet/weight loss gurus and lose interest with them loving to hear themselves talk minutes into their over long sales pitches. They always claim they’re going to reveal 3 or 5 secrets…and they never do. They throw enough scientific sounding words in to sound logical and authoritative. Then the huckster price reduction and finally trying to make you feel guilty and ashamed if you don’t immediately hand over your credit card info for this deal that only lasts until the video ends. I’m so sick of these shysters preying on people’s insecurities. I’ve wasted enough of my time listening to these people just being curious what they have to say-and they ALL spend (waste your time)way too much time over explaining some plan ONLY they have discovered. I get upset with myself every time I listen to one of these videos-no more! I keep blocking these ads but they are ubiquitous online. I appreciate your straightforward approach and that you’re not selling some gee whiz, foolproof diet plan. Keep up the good work!
