Congratulations to you! You’ve been purified by pain and were able to advance despite all the bad stuff you were going through! You were able to ignite your inner warrior and now you’re just sawing the results of your discipline, effort and perseverance! 💪😃
After a bad car accident, in 2005, resulting in back and neck issues led me to over time reach 300 pounds. I’m 6’1 so it didn’t look terrible, at the time. In 2019 all of my kids were together with me and I looked at them as young adults and knew I had to be around for them and also not be a burden because I’m unhealthy and overweight. Wenesday February 12, 2019 was the last day I was 300 pounds. Started eating Whole Foods and strength training. I’m now 6’1 , 195 pounds about to turn 49 on July 2nd 2023 and I’m in better shape now than I was in my 20’s. And I was very athletic in my 20’s.
If you were very athletic in your twenties, I don't at all believe that you are in better shape at 49. Do you know why? Because you will never be 20 again. I hear this from some of my military friends and I cringe, and realize it's lying to yourself. Your story is great just leave out the better shape than in my 20's excuse.
I am a dadbod, ive been inspired by your awesone videos for a while. Been working out every morning before the rest of the family wakes up and lost 15kg so far. now my son (6) started to wake up and workout with me, without me asking. Youre a 100% correct when you say kids follow the actions and not the words. Im very thankful for your words of information and inspiration keep up the good work.
B…this episode hit hard af. Back in March I reached out to you for some advice with my fitness journey. That journey wasn’t just for me, it wasn’t just for my wife…it was for my kids. I lost sight not only of my own health and fitness, but I lost sight of the fact that those three little sets of eyes were watching how I lived my life and taking note of choices I was making. As of this morning, I’m down 62 pounds and it has completely changed my family’s life. It motivated my wife to want to be healthier and make smarter choices and inspired my kids to want to be baby bad asses too. No more dad bod. More energy than I’ve had in years and an overall excitement about waking up everyday and finding new and fun ways to get after it. Thank you for reinforcing how important it is to be physically AND mentally disciplined/fit. 🦅👊🏻
As much as I love my parents to pieces and the many opportunities they have given me, I can relate to this as they both are obese. Luckily my sister and I took up the gym a couple years ago and we are both very strong mentally and physically, however I found that it can be very easy for people to mirror their parent’s actions because of the fatty foods they stock the fridge and pantries with. Although we are worried for our parent’s health, my sister and I have taken up shopping and started cooking healthy and tasty foods for the family which has lead both of our parents to lose a pretty good amount of weight.
Thank you Bedros,,, Im not a not a member, or at least not yet but I love your message. I'm a 65 year old veteran, still rocking and rolling try to PT every day and stay motivated and hopefully be an example for someone.
I've been going to the gym every day for 3 months now and the transformation is really starting to show. Anyone just starting, I'm here to tell you that you need to keep it up. I know you feel sore and horrible but I assure you after about a month, that soreness goes away. Your body adapts and you don't feel nearly as sore the next day. I urge you to just stick it out and lift weight for a month. You won't recognize yourself.
Your voice on this is truly a fresh breath of air. I was telling a friend the other day men shouldn’t be fat. By the time they roll over I’m kidnapped, sexual assaulted, and killed. Everyone wants comfortable lives and it has proven to destroy us. Focus on you and the kind of man you are to the women in your life and if you have children etc. I lost respect for a male I was involved with because I saw myself becoming a mom and he tells me I don’t know about much and doesn’t produce much but the same song of uncertainty, misery, and conformity. I’m hard on myself and if I feel more masculine than you I’m out.
Amen and amen! I walked by the Travis Matthew store this weekend and saw what I thought was a pride month bs manikin, a pregnant man. I was wrong. It was just as bad. A dad bod manikin for all the soft middle class, broken men who have just given up. Keep preaching.
I needed this, I am working towards my goals, I am working out, I am just faking motivation, i cheat on my diet, I eat sugary things,.i am letargic, 24 with high blood pressure.... It's time to change. Starting 31 fit for creating habits❤ hype me up fam
Motivation is fleeting, it's discipline that is needed consistently. We don't always feel like doing better but we know we have to, and pretty soon after seeing the benifits it' gives us a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and motivation to keep going, build the momentum brother, get the momentum moving and you'll see how you can transform yourself. It's hard getting over old habits but the benifits are tremendous
You don't need hype, you need discipline. If you don't make that mental shift, you're going to fail. Force yourself to go out in public shirtless 2x a week. That'll give you all the "motivation" you need.
Bedros, thanks for the words of wisdom. Keeps that fire burning. 43 years old, staying focused/motivated so that Dad body never becomes a reality and to be an example for my two young boys.
I hear you loud and clear Bedros! I'm 54 and although I workout, I don't do nearly enough. I commit to making changes before it's too late. Thanks for the harsh but necessary reminder.
Another great episode! Last year this week was my wake up call. At 54 years old, my weight and back issues were so bad that I could not unload the luggage from my car. Enough was enough. I decided to go to the gym for the next 100 days, at 4:15AM. The only competition at 4:15AM is sleep, and after two weeks I did not need an alarm. One year later. I lost 30 pounds, reshaped every single part of my body (my feet are smaller), and reversed my Type-2 diabetes. I made it to the gym 202 days in a row. Now I am back to day 50 in a row. Heed the warnings Bedros outlines. Every year after 40 it gets harder to reverse/create a healthy body. But I must disagree with the body being the seat of disease. It is always the mind. The mind lets the brain eat the bad food, blow off exercise, drink alcohol, smoke, etc. The body is evidence of the suffering.
I have been listening to you for a year now, i was not in the best shap but i keep making excuses on why i cant get the the gym each day. I have 3 kids all do sports 2 of them are doing jujitsu 1 plays select soccer and my oldest dose select softball. Dont get home till 830 each night taking my kids to sports. Now i still do that but my son and i take ice baths each night at 42 degrees best sleep after that and i am up at 430 each morning to hit the gym at 530 I am also starting my own company his vedios have changed how i look at life and i feel so much stronger And with all this my wife had cancer so she couldn't help Thanks man you have changed my life and started to be a role model for my kids
I turned 43 tomorrow and I am a leadership coach as well as a soccer entrepreneur. I looked at myself before my 40th birthday and didn't like what I saw. I read the book by David Goggins titled Can't Hurt Me and it changed my life forever. 174 pounds and 5.8 tall. I love my body and my life.
Yup. I am 38 years old. Lost 16kg in past half year. After breakup, after two hard years I realised that being overweight made me sick. I mean - low testosterone, bad horonal balance overall, everyday fatigue, out of shape. One of the reasons why my ex left me was that I lacked that masculine energy I had back when we met and all 6 years through our relationship. When now I am back in shape - I feel like all that brain fog disappeared and I am back again a man. During that few years I developed fatty liver and pre-diabetic state which I fight now with very healthy eating habits. Don't go that way folks. And unfortunately all of that been done during "hustling". Focus on your health. Always
I have broken my spine in two separate occasions and let myself become content with having a dad bod. I’m 37 weigh 205 at 5,10 and for a month and a half I have put myself through a tough training regime for mental, physical,and emotional growth. I appreciate the hard cold honesty that we all need to hear! I am going to make it to the program next year it’s a goal that has been set.
I work in medicine. I’ve seen patients suffer immensely after 40 due to their habits in their late 20’s and 30’s. Start now and never stop. Maintaining is always easier than catching up!!!!!! Horror story: one guy had neglected his diabetes medication and didn’t follow any diet. His right foot had necrosis which required amputation. I had to break the news to him and he burst into tears and I almost did too.
Thanks for having the guts to be honest. I felt so uncomfortable when I heard that study! It is rubbish! No one is attracted to the "dad bod". However, it will make another out of shape person feel better. BK, Keeping it REAL!
Bedros, Triglycerides are the real problem, Not cholesterol. Dad bod is caused by a high carb,high sugar diet. I’m a 54 year old male and watch you daily. Thanks for the motivation and inspiration.
I’m glad that I made it a priority to get a gym membership at the age of 17. My dad was always a bit overweight but I always knew that I would make my health and fitness a priority. 8 years later and it is still a priority and a lifestyle. At this point, it’s hard for me to skip a few days at the gym because it has given me so many results and confidence. I hope that my future kids will follow my footsteps and be healthy because of all of the benefits, and I will try my damn best to make it a priority for them by setting an example.
@smokingcrab2290 it's never too late to drop the weight brother! Start today! I was young and naive, long story short I got left for a dude who wasn't fat. Sucked at the time but thats what had to happen for me to get my shit together
Bruh, this video is life changing for me. I actually got back in the gym after an 8 year break. I got comfortable in my life and relationships. I lost myself. The insecure women seeking the broken wing guy is pretty accurate. The reason this video hit hard is the fact I started to feel selfish for looking very fit and feeling awesome. Dating a woman who is a the CEO of a tech firm. She is extremely confident and independent. So are her girlfriends. They all prefer the fit bod. Thank you again for this video.
Bedros thanks for the consistent advice and support! Transforming that Dad bod into a Father figure takes discipline and constant action. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
17:20 I seen a video of a dude asking women if they liked “dad bods”. He showed them a picture of Daniel Craig body when he was in Casino and 99% agreed they were attracted….Then showed a pic of Seth Rogen body and they were like hell nah lol…When it came down to it they had the WRONG idea of a dad bod.
Best podcast ever, spewing truth. This dude is my new hero (a person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities). Thank you Bedros.
Listen loud and clear, doing interstate truck driving in Australia never home till weekends so i workout much as i can, eat clean if i can on the road avoid the fatty foods much as i can, just tryna stay healthy, i know im not gonna have a fit body by im doing what i can with limit resources due to work but i will never obese i refuse to be that or go down that path, youre like the voice i need every week and im grateful to discover you months ago
Wow, Bedros, your ability to choose great words and communicate in a way that profoundly affects people is truly remarkable. This particular message of yours holds immense value and quality, and it resonated with me deeply. It's time for me to act upon it. Thank you for your tremendous efforts and contribution.
Damn Bedros, your speaking fire to me! Im new to tour podcast, like a little over a week new. You have grabbed my attention. I agree with everything you have said and I just can't believe I have been one of these men who has sucked life out of myself. I always said it was my circumstances, but that's bullshit. It has always been my fault and your accountability has seriously opened my eyes. I have gone through years of therapy and those people have only been able to help me so much. I only recently realized that I never did any of the work on myself until literally a few days ago. It's hard to get past the psychology of trauma and how we screw ourselves up by believing we have been defeated. What a f@#$ing lie! Thanks for your sharing your journey with all of us and helping men to understand why they need to be strong in all areas of life. Nobody has ever shared anything like this to me and I was too defeated to think anything could ever change. More lies from myself. I'm 48 also and just learning how to break free from the incarceration I have created for myself. A little late in life for me, but I can still accomplish being a top 1% man and I have begun that journey, thanks to you.
You're an incredible man with incredible discipline. Someone who we are inspired by and gain wisdom from by your commitment to discipline. But no matter how much discipline we develop, we all take that last breath and then answer to God as to whether or not we had confidence in the true master of discipline, His son Jesus Christ. For it is only through Christ's discipline and not our own that are partakers of his accomplishment resulting in eternal life. The principals of discipline you speak of are all congruent with word of God. He's real, He's true, He loves you Bedros.
I don’t have any excuses. I have tried to wake up early to work out, and it’s tough so I don’t do it. I’m working on my eating habits so I’m making progress even if I’m not lifting. Thanks for the gut check. I love your show.
i love that you made this, ive been working on changing my dad bod into a "god bod" as i call it(the name i came up with is mainly cause of religious outlook reasons) but i remember looking in the mirror at the gym the first day and thinking, "this body is a disgrace to me, my daughter, my fiance, and god, i must change it to the marble chiseled glory i deserve" im tired of being tired, im tired of being fat, im tired of being ashamed of my body, and now i must change it.
Confident, secure, physically fit women only want men who exude the same greatness. Period. On the other hand, insecure women want men who can be controlled. A docile man is also insecure and is willing to go along with anything that the woman tells him. None of this is the nature of man and woman. We have evolved, but our genes and how they are expressed and behaviors that result are the same as ancient human.
I think the main reason women say they prefer the dad bod is because they know dad bod types aren’t desired by women and are therefore less likely to cheat on them.
Definitely appreciate you Bedros! I subscribed and started watching your channel after watching an interview with Wes Watson where he mentioned your name. Your content is exactly what I've needed to hear to continue to evolve into the 2.0 version of myself. I'm a college graduate and former school teacher that ended up divorced, bankrupt and serving time in federal prison for conspiracy to commit bank robbery. Since my release from prison in 2016, I've worked tirelessly to get my life back on track and to help, inspire and educate others who have experienced similar challenges how to do the same. You are inspiring me bro and I thank you for your commitment to doing what you have been called to do!
I’ve heard so many girls say they like dad bods. But you never hear them get turned on when they are touching a bear belly like they do with a six pack lol That makes sense that they say they like dad bods because it makes them feel better about being over weight themself. Never thought about it that way 👍🏻
Good message and spot on. I am 19% body fat, but low muscle. The last 6 weeks I have been working hard to build strength, gain muscle. It is a responsibility to myself, my family, and others. (Edited for typos)
When you think about family I think it really helps out everything into perspective because it takes out the question of why and it gives the very real answer, reality.
Keep at it man, and try to eat around 2500-3000 calories a day to maintain the bodyfat while gaining muscle. I started a while ago in the same position as you, and it has completely changed my life for the better. I’d also strongly recommend going earlier in the morning as I often am able to push more weight. (this is most likely placebo) Also try doing cold showers or plunges for 5 minutes a day, it really helps with soreness.
The note that you said 6 weeks makes it seem like you see "effort" as a time duration....when you should be looking at a life long sustainable diet/workout plan and adapt it into your lifestyle.
I say this with the highest respect, Bedros you are the absolute best!!!! But you also maybe the most comedic timing inspirational speaker ever!!!! Please no matter what as Tom Bilyeu always ends his podcast and programs, stay legendary!!!!
Hey brother, this is truth and a message that needs to be heard. Men in this country need to wake up. I realized this when my buddy asked me to climb up a ladder to fix a fan......he claimed he didn't have the "know how" but in reality it's because he is 100lb overweight.
Bedros you’re absolutely right. I’ve been going to the gym consistently since March 2023 and by July I was amazed at the results and how much more I was liking myself. Keep up the great work 👍🏾
Thank you Bedros for being raw and real and saying what needs to be said. Very likely a contributing factor of why the divorce rate in this country is near 60%.
My cousin died of heart disease at 38 years young, due to obesity. This motivated me greatly to get my act together years ago. Men need to get it together for real.
This is exactly why I started walking and going to the gym at least 5 days a week. I was tired of being short of breath taking a 💩. Tired of my man boobs and gut. I hated what I saw in the mirror. Deep down I wanted change. That change is in progress. Lost about 20lbs over the last 3 months. And I can see the gains from the gym. Just start and keep going. Don't give up. ✊
YOU REALLY BROUGHT IT HOME ON THIS ONE 💪 Totally agree with this. I was able to get rid of my dad bod in the last few years. Not only that.... I was able to stay fit and not get fat again by increasing my self-discipline 💪
Bedros I just discovered you. This video was perfect and at just the right time. I can't wait to go back and listen to the rest of videos. With my headphones on at the gym of course. Thank you.
Thanks Bedros, excellent, scathing. I always had a physical lifestyle, manic temperament. For me the issue is compulsive overeating. I'm an alcoholic, 24 years off booze. BUT. I have done w/food what i used to do with booze. A year ago i had an enlarged spleen. While a ruptured spleen is an emergency, my condition is self healing through diet change. Result: i am in perpetual savage emotional withdrawal. Almost 70, whoa, the demons still kickin' my butt. I really appreciate your energy & message
Concerning the dad bod, something I've noticed is that a lot of women who want someone that has a dad bod have the same kind of body as if having someone who has a dad bod will make them feel better about themselves. But what can you say? Water typically seeks its own level.
Hey Bedros! I watched this video when I woke up this morning and later you were on my flight to Arizona. Thank you for shaking my hand and being an inspiration, love the content sir, keep up the great work!
I was pear shaped a few years ago, I realized I owe it to my self and family to get in shape and look amazing. I haven’t looked back since I feel fantastic, that’s why this video is so relatable and hilarious but so true.
Gonna be 39 next month. First baby on the way In January. I might be older than most of the other dads but I want them coming up and asking me how to get fit
That’s what motivated me to get started. At 31 I had my first kid, I didn’t him looking up to a fat loser. I was 220 lbs then, I’m 190 now and in the best shape of my life at 33. A man in shape automatically demands respect in any situation. Cut all all of my sugar vices and man I feel good and in control of my life. Keep up the good work mang !
🙆🤷♂️🙋💁♂️" Waiter can I get steak sauce?" " Does extra fries come with my meal?" " Wonder what time my wife said I have to be home 🤯." Bedros: 🤬 " Can any of these soyboys tackle a fkn psych active shooter, or should I just take my meal to go!"
I'm 55 now but at 44, my dad bod almost caused me to be a absentee father because I almost died because if high blood pressure and high bad cholesterol. My doctor told me that if I didn't do anything about my health, I would be dead in 2 months. I had a 3 year old daughter and the thought of dying and leaving her behind to grow up in this world without a father because of my bad uncaring lifestyle was a big "F___k no!" It was my fault my health was bad and only I could change that. That was a true wake up call. I stopped joking about my body and started taking the right steps to premium health. I even got a personal trainer license. One of the jokes I used to say was, "I have the body of a god...to bad it's Buddah." or "This extra fat is just more of me to love." My health matters now. It's one of the most important things in my life and I won't jeopardize it again.
Well said my man. Thanks immensely for the great material and source of inspiration you create and keeping it up for a lot regardless of where they are in life. I have followed most of your advice, especially working out, and held the discipline for the longest while. Yet when I hear this, do realize that got a long way left to perfection if anything. Get motivated to do more and not fall back on becoming complacent and I am sure many men see it the same way....
🎉 year ago I dropped 70+ lbs I maintain healthy habits but more so the bad ones I’m here to tell you I will do it again and no matter how many times I fall off… you set this fire everytime.. thank you
Listened to this on my morning walk. I agree with this, as I’m getting my personal fitness in order. I’ve worked out to some degree in one form or another, but started taking this more seriously about 4 months ago. Now everyday needs fitness and no more empty calories.
I'm 44. 2 years ago I was jacked and in the best shape of my life. Started my own business, which led to 18 hour work days. I have a dad-bod now. I need to find balance between start-up demands and exercise.
For me it was college courses. Sitting at my full time job, then sitting in class, then sitting doing classwork until nearly midnight just to do it all again the next day. 16-18 hour days. Went from 170 to 220. We're close to the same age, so I know it's a pain to drop the weight but we have to do it man.
You make complete sense I am 44 and will soon be 45 in October. I hate my dad bod and your right I am an image of my dad. I want a change and I will push my self harder this year to be healthy and to be a good roll model for my boys. I love your content and I wish I can afford to hire you as a mentor because I no you would be the dad I need to be. Much love brother
Love your content and your voice man 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 i was a dadbod 2 years ago and now I'm more fit and healthy than my teenage years 🔥😎💪🏻 and i can feel the respect that i absorb everyday from literally everyone
At several moments during this video, I wanted to simply stand and applaud. Easily one of the best 30 minutes on youtube, which in so many other ways is an absolute wasteland full of bullshit. Now I'm even more wound up and ready to get to the gym for my daily workout. Goddamn the world needs more men like Bedros and less passive, timid, flabby titty boys.
Spot on bro, I’m trying to encourage all my bros to become that guy again. I’ve lost 35 pounds since 2021 back to being that dog I was in College. I desire to see Men be that A type Man we all should be.
Hey, Bedros, great as always! Can you make an episode with your stance and personal experience with TRT and anabolics? Do you think it has helped you or hindered you throughout the years? It will be great to hear your opinion. Have a great day!
Thank you so much for not sugar coating what I need to hear to get my ass moving. You inspired me to do more, my day starts at 3am for online school and with 2 jobs. I lost 20 lbs in a month by quitting the booze and smoking. I need to turn up the heat even more and man up. Thank you!

I am a dadbod, ive been inspired by your awesone videos for a while.

Youre a 100% correct when you say kids follow the actions and not the words. Im very thankful for your words of information and inspiration keep up the good work.
good job!
I’ve honestly never heard this put better. Accepting a Dad bod is accepting defeat.
This guy is gold. We need more “dads” like him in the world.
B…this episode hit hard af. Back in March I reached out to you for some advice with my fitness journey. That journey wasn’t just for me, it wasn’t just for my wife…it was for my kids.

Your voice on this is truly a fresh breath of air. I was telling a friend the other day men shouldn’t be fat. By the time they roll over I’m kidnapped, sexual assaulted, and killed.

Amen and amen! I walked by the Travis Matthew store this weekend and saw what I thought was a pride month bs manikin, a pregnant man. I was wrong. It was just as bad. A dad bod manikin for all the soft middle class, broken men who have just given up. Keep preaching.

It's hard getting over old habits but the benifits are tremendous
Read atomic habits and then come back to me
why not start today? DO IT, JUST DO IT ;)
@noxcuses520 you got this my guy , make it personal
You don't need hype, you need discipline. If you don't make that mental shift, you're going to fail. Force yourself to go out in public shirtless 2x a week. That'll give you all the "motivation" you need.
Bedros, thanks for the words of wisdom. Keeps that fire burning. 43 years old, staying focused/motivated so that Dad body never becomes a reality and to be an example for my two young boys.
I hear you loud and clear Bedros! I'm 54 and although I workout, I don't do nearly enough. I commit to making changes before it's too late. Thanks for the harsh but necessary reminder.
Wonderful! I love hearing that brother
Another great episode!
Last year this week was my wake up call. At 54 years old, my weight and back issues were so bad that I could not unload the luggage from my car.
Enough was enough. I decided to go to the gym for the next 100 days, at 4:15AM.
The only competition at 4:15AM is sleep, and after two weeks I did not need an alarm.
One year later. I lost 30 pounds, reshaped every single part of my body (my feet are smaller), and reversed my Type-2 diabetes. I made it to the gym 202 days in a row. Now I am back to day 50 in a row.
Heed the warnings Bedros outlines. Every year after 40 it gets harder to reverse/create a healthy body.
But I must disagree with the body being the seat of disease. It is always the mind. The mind lets the brain eat the bad food, blow off exercise, drink alcohol, smoke, etc. The body is evidence of the suffering.
Good for you man - that's a great success story
I have been listening to you for a year now, i was not in the best shap but i keep making excuses on why i cant get the the gym each day. I have 3 kids all do sports 2 of them are doing jujitsu 1 plays select soccer and my oldest dose select softball. Dont get home till 830 each night taking my kids to sports.
Now i still do that but my son and i take ice baths each night at 42 degrees best sleep after that and i am up at 430 each morning to hit the gym at 530
I am also starting my own company his vedios have changed how i look at life and i feel so much stronger
And with all this my wife had cancer so she couldn't help
Thanks man you have changed my life and started to be a role model for my kids
I turned 43 tomorrow and I am a leadership coach as well as a soccer entrepreneur. I looked at myself before my 40th birthday and didn't like what I saw. I read the book by David Goggins titled Can't Hurt Me and it changed my life forever. 174 pounds and 5.8 tall. I love my body and my life.
The dad that I needed when I was younger.Thank you, dad Bedros💪🧠💰
Yup. I am 38 years old. Lost 16kg in past half year. After breakup, after two hard years I realised that being overweight made me sick. I mean - low testosterone, bad horonal balance overall, everyday fatigue, out of shape. One of the reasons why my ex left me was that I lacked that masculine energy I had back when we met and all 6 years through our relationship. When now I am back in shape - I feel like all that brain fog disappeared and I am back again a man. During that few years I developed fatty liver and pre-diabetic state which I fight now with very healthy eating habits. Don't go that way folks. And unfortunately all of that been done during "hustling". Focus on your health. Always
I have broken my spine in two separate occasions and let myself become content with having a dad bod. I’m 37 weigh 205 at 5,10 and for a month and a half I have put myself through a tough training regime for mental, physical,and emotional growth. I appreciate the hard cold honesty that we all need to hear! I am going to make it to the program next year it’s a goal that has been set.
I work in medicine. I’ve seen patients suffer immensely after 40 due to their habits in their late 20’s and 30’s. Start now and never stop. Maintaining is always easier than catching up!!!!!!
Horror story: one guy had neglected his diabetes medication and didn’t follow any diet. His right foot had necrosis which required amputation. I had to break the news to him and he burst into tears and I almost did too.
Thanks for having the guts to be honest. I felt so uncomfortable when I heard that study! It is rubbish! No one is attracted to the "dad bod". However, it will make another out of shape person feel better. BK, Keeping it REAL!
One of the best motivational videos I have seen. Straight to a man's soul!
Awesome 👌
Love this one.
I am at the no dad bod ever again stage.
I am at the fittest I've ever been stage dad today on my bday.
Excellent episode 👏
Right now I am in the gym, 7:00 am, listening to absolute Truth from Bedros.
Bedros,
Triglycerides are the real problem,
Not cholesterol.
Dad bod is caused by a high carb,high sugar diet.
I’m a 54 year old male and watch you daily.
Thanks for the motivation and inspiration.
I’m glad that I made it a priority to get a gym membership at the age of 17. My dad was always a bit overweight but I always knew that I would make my health and fitness a priority. 8 years later and it is still a priority and a lifestyle. At this point, it’s hard for me to skip a few days at the gym because it has given me so many results and confidence. I hope that my future kids will follow my footsteps and be healthy because of all of the benefits, and I will try my damn best to make it a priority for them by setting an example.
My ex wife encouraged me to gain weight, aka get fat. She said I looked better with weight on me. Don't ever fall for this one fellas!!
Biggest scam insecure women play on men
Yep. They all do that.
She’s saying that just so you won’t set a standard…..
My wife said this to me too and I resent her for it. And I know she only said it because she's overweight
@smokingcrab2290 it's never too late to drop the weight brother! Start today! I was young and naive, long story short I got left for a dude who wasn't fat. Sucked at the time but thats what had to happen for me to get my shit together
This episode is super important, it's a shame most who need to hear it don't have the ability to hear the message without acting out emotionally
Well said!
Bruh, this video is life changing for me. I actually got back in the gym after an 8 year break. I got comfortable in my life and relationships. I lost myself. The insecure women seeking the broken wing guy is pretty accurate. The reason this video hit hard is the fact I started to feel selfish for looking very fit and feeling awesome. Dating a woman who is a the CEO of a tech firm. She is extremely confident and independent. So are her girlfriends. They all prefer the fit bod. Thank you again for this video.
The BEST episode to date
Shared this with my family
They’ll prolly get mad at me but it’s all in love and needs to be said LETS GO!!
Bedros thanks for the consistent advice and support! Transforming that Dad bod into a Father figure takes discipline and constant action. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
This should be played in every household daily.
17:20 I seen a video of a dude asking women if they liked “dad bods”. He showed them a picture of Daniel Craig body when he was in Casino and 99% agreed they were attracted….Then showed a pic of Seth Rogen body and they were like hell nah lol…When it came down to it they had the WRONG idea of a dad bod.
Best podcast ever, spewing truth. This dude is my new hero (a person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities). Thank you Bedros.
Listen loud and clear, doing interstate truck driving in Australia never home till weekends so i workout much as i can, eat clean if i can on the road avoid the fatty foods much as i can, just tryna stay healthy, i know im not gonna have a fit body by im doing what i can with limit resources due to work but i will never obese i refuse to be that or go down that path, youre like the voice i need every week and im grateful to discover you months ago
43 and I’m all about this bro for the 1st time in 20 years. Love it bro.
Wow, Bedros, your ability to choose great words and communicate in a way that profoundly affects people is truly remarkable. This particular message of yours holds immense value and quality, and it resonated with me deeply. It's time for me to act upon it. Thank you for your tremendous efforts and contribution.
Wow, thank you! That means lot
Health is wealth . Feel good , look good ! It’s a win win 😉
Agreed!
I’ve been listening to this man on this channel for a while now and all I can say is he spits facts.
Damn Bedros, your speaking fire to me! Im new to tour podcast, like a little over a week new. You have grabbed my attention. I agree with everything you have said and I just can't believe I have been one of these men who has sucked life out of myself. I always said it was my circumstances, but that's bullshit. It has always been my fault and your accountability has seriously opened my eyes. I have gone through years of therapy and those people have only been able to help me so much. I only recently realized that I never did any of the work on myself until literally a few days ago. It's hard to get past the psychology of trauma and how we screw ourselves up by believing we have been defeated. What a f@#$ing lie! Thanks for your sharing your journey with all of us and helping men to understand why they need to be strong in all areas of life. Nobody has ever shared anything like this to me and I was too defeated to think anything could ever change. More lies from myself. I'm 48 also and just learning how to break free from the incarceration I have created for myself. A little late in life for me, but I can still accomplish being a top 1% man and I have begun that journey, thanks to you.
You're an incredible man with incredible discipline. Someone who we are inspired by and gain wisdom from by your commitment to discipline. But no matter how much discipline we develop, we all take that last breath and then answer to God as to whether or not we had confidence in the true master of discipline, His son Jesus Christ. For it is only through Christ's discipline and not our own that are partakers of his accomplishment resulting in eternal life. The principals of discipline you speak of are all congruent with word of God. He's real, He's true, He loves you Bedros.
I don’t have any excuses. I have tried to wake up early to work out, and it’s tough so I don’t do it. I’m working on my eating habits so I’m making progress even if I’m not lifting.
Thanks for the gut check. I love your show.
i love that you made this, ive been working on changing my dad bod into a "god bod" as i call it(the name i came up with is mainly cause of religious outlook reasons) but i remember looking in the mirror at the gym the first day and thinking, "this body is a disgrace to me, my daughter, my fiance, and god, i must change it to the marble chiseled glory i deserve" im tired of being tired, im tired of being fat, im tired of being ashamed of my body, and now i must change it.
Hey Mr. Keuilian , im glad to be here ! Your words are Gold !
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Confident, secure, physically fit women only want men who exude the same greatness. Period. On the other hand, insecure women want men who can be controlled. A docile man is also insecure and is willing to go along with anything that the woman tells him. None of this is the nature of man and woman. We have evolved, but our genes and how they are expressed and behaviors that result are the same as ancient human.
I think the main reason women say they prefer the dad bod is because they know dad bod types aren’t desired by women and are therefore less likely to cheat on them.
Definitely appreciate you Bedros! I subscribed and started watching your channel after watching an interview with Wes Watson where he mentioned your name. Your content is exactly what I've needed to hear to continue to evolve into the 2.0 version of myself. I'm a college graduate and former school teacher that ended up divorced, bankrupt and serving time in federal prison for conspiracy to commit bank robbery. Since my release from prison in 2016, I've worked tirelessly to get my life back on track and to help, inspire and educate others who have experienced similar challenges how to do the same. You are inspiring me bro and I thank you for your commitment to doing what you have been called to do!
Wes is a good dude and a homie
Sharp. Compelling. Inspirational. Real. Top-level work here.
I’ve heard so many girls say they like dad bods. But you never hear them get turned on when they are touching a bear belly like they do with a six pack lol
That makes sense that they say they like dad bods because it makes them feel better about being over weight themself. Never thought about it that way 👍🏻
This is a masterpiece. The energy of every "FUCK" you said hit me hard. I hope it also hits those with dad bods.
Keep preaching brotha!!! So many men need this message. I was once that weak dad bod guy. No more i say!!!
Good message and spot on. I am 19% body fat, but low muscle. The last 6 weeks I have been working hard to build strength, gain muscle. It is a responsibility to myself, my family, and others. (Edited for typos)
When you think about family I think it really helps out everything into perspective because it takes out the question of why and it gives the very real answer, reality.
Keep at it man, and try to eat around 2500-3000 calories a day to maintain the bodyfat while gaining muscle. I started a while ago in the same position as you, and it has completely changed my life for the better. I’d also strongly recommend going earlier in the morning as I often am able to push more weight. (this is most likely placebo) Also try doing cold showers or plunges for 5 minutes a day, it really helps with soreness.
The note that you said 6 weeks makes it seem like you see "effort" as a time duration....when you should be looking at a life long sustainable diet/workout plan and adapt it into your lifestyle.
Bedros Speaking the truth! We need more of this in America!
Loved every second of the video man appreciate it very much
Bedros: I just want to thank you for what you do. You have literally changed my life for the better.
I say this with the highest respect, Bedros you are the absolute best!!!! But you also maybe the most comedic timing inspirational speaker ever!!!! Please no matter what as Tom Bilyeu always ends his podcast and programs, stay legendary!!!!
Hey brother, this is truth and a message that needs to be heard. Men in this country need to wake up. I realized this when my buddy asked me to climb up a ladder to fix a fan......he claimed he didn't have the "know how" but in reality it's because he is 100lb overweight.
this video should be watched all around the world
Enough said , support the real talk like this ✅
Bedros you’re absolutely right. I’ve been going to the gym consistently since March 2023 and by July I was amazed at the results and how much more I was liking myself. Keep up the great work 👍🏾
Thank you Bedros for being raw and real and saying what needs to be said. Very likely a contributing factor of why the divorce rate in this country is near 60%.
My cousin died of heart disease at 38 years young, due to obesity. This motivated me greatly to get my act together years ago. Men need to get it together for real.
Im so proud of my daughter she used to make fun of me for working out now shes hooked on it love it
Bro this shit is spot on. So true about insecure women wanting a dad bod man. Never bought that BS
Amazing episode, Bedros. All American men need to listen to this episode.
This is exactly why I started walking and going to the gym at least 5 days a week. I was tired of being short of breath taking a 💩. Tired of my man boobs and gut. I hated what I saw in the mirror. Deep down I wanted change. That change is in progress. Lost about 20lbs over the last 3 months. And I can see the gains from the gym. Just start and keep going. Don't give up. ✊
Keep that shit up 🙏🙏🙏
YOU REALLY BROUGHT IT HOME ON THIS ONE 💪
Totally agree with this.
I was able to get rid of my dad bod in the last few years.
Not only that.... I was able to stay fit and not get fat again by increasing my self-discipline 💪
Bedros I just discovered you. This video was perfect and at just the right time. I can't wait to go back and listen to the rest of videos. With my headphones on at the gym of course.
Thank you.
Welcome aboard!
Thanks Bedros, excellent, scathing. I always had a physical lifestyle, manic temperament. For me the issue is compulsive overeating. I'm an alcoholic, 24 years off booze. BUT. I have done w/food what i used to do with booze. A year ago i had an enlarged spleen. While a ruptured spleen is an emergency, my condition is self healing through diet change. Result: i am in perpetual savage emotional withdrawal. Almost 70, whoa, the demons still kickin' my butt. I really appreciate your energy & message
Love it Bedros,
In the gym now watching this. Never been overweight (always been in pretty good shape) but this just got my mind ready to push harder.
Good man! Being the example
Concerning the dad bod, something I've noticed is that a lot of women who want someone that has a dad bod have the same kind of body as if having someone who has a dad bod will make them feel better about themselves. But what can you say? Water typically seeks its own level.
Absolutely. More men need to hear this.
What a great moving episode, big salute 🫡
Hey Bedros! I watched this video when I woke up this morning and later you were on my flight to Arizona. Thank you for shaking my hand and being an inspiration, love the content sir, keep up the great work!
I was pear shaped a few years ago, I realized I owe it to my self and family to get in shape and look amazing. I haven’t looked back since I feel fantastic, that’s why this video is so relatable and hilarious but so true.
Gonna be 39 next month. First baby on the way In January. I might be older than most of the other dads but I want them coming up and asking me how to get fit
Congratulations it’s all good bro I’m 38 with an 8 month old boy. First child as well.
That’s what motivated me to get started. At 31 I had my first kid, I didn’t him looking up to a fat loser. I was 220 lbs then, I’m 190 now and in the best shape of my life at 33.
A man in shape automatically demands respect in any situation. Cut all all of my sugar vices and man I feel good and in control of my life.
Keep up the good work mang !
🙆🤷♂️🙋💁♂️" Waiter can I get steak sauce?" " Does extra fries come with my meal?" " Wonder what time my wife said I have to be home 🤯."
Bedros: 🤬 " Can any of these soyboys tackle a fkn psych active shooter, or should I just take my meal to go!"
That was the wakeup i needed
I'm 55 now but at 44, my dad bod almost caused me to be a absentee father because I almost died because if high blood pressure and high bad cholesterol. My doctor told me that if I didn't do anything about my health, I would be dead in 2 months. I had a 3 year old daughter and the thought of dying and leaving her behind to grow up in this world without a father because of my bad uncaring lifestyle was a big "F___k no!" It was my fault my health was bad and only I could change that. That was a true wake up call. I stopped joking about my body and started taking the right steps to premium health. I even got a personal trainer license. One of the jokes I used to say was, "I have the body of a god...to bad it's Buddah." or "This extra fat is just more of me to love." My health matters now. It's one of the most important things in my life and I won't jeopardize it again.
Well said my man. Thanks immensely for the great material and source of inspiration you create and keeping it up for a lot regardless of where they are in life. I have followed most of your advice, especially working out, and held the discipline for the longest while. Yet when I hear this, do realize that got a long way left to perfection if anything. Get motivated to do more and not fall back on becoming complacent and I am sure many men see it the same way....
🎉 year ago I dropped 70+ lbs I maintain healthy habits but more so the bad ones I’m here to tell you I will do it again and no matter how many times I fall off… you set this fire everytime.. thank you
Bedros always dropping gems. Thank you sir.
Listened to this on my morning walk. I agree with this, as I’m getting my personal fitness in order. I’ve worked out to some degree in one form or another, but started taking this more seriously about 4 months ago. Now everyday needs fitness and no more empty calories.
Man just found your show! Bad A advice I love it! Get after it!
brother you are 100% on point. love it!!
I'm 44. 2 years ago I was jacked and in the best shape of my life. Started my own business, which led to 18 hour work days. I have a dad-bod now. I need to find balance between start-up demands and exercise.
For me it was college courses. Sitting at my full time job, then sitting in class, then sitting doing classwork until nearly midnight just to do it all again the next day. 16-18 hour days. Went from 170 to 220. We're close to the same age, so I know it's a pain to drop the weight but we have to do it man.
You make complete sense I am 44 and will soon be 45 in October. I hate my dad bod and your right I am an image of my dad. I want a change and I will push my self harder this year to be healthy and to be a good roll model for my boys. I love your content and I wish I can afford to hire you as a mentor because I no you would be the dad I need to be. Much love brother
Chingon!! as always uncle Bedros 💪
Health is wealth… if your healthy you can achieve anything you want 💪
Love your content and your voice man 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 i was a dadbod 2 years ago and now I'm more fit and healthy than my teenage years 🔥😎💪🏻 and i can feel the respect that i absorb everyday from literally everyone
Great episode . To everyone’s Health and Wellness.✨
The worst thing is most those guys with the dad bods THINK they are tough!!
At several moments during this video, I wanted to simply stand and applaud. Easily one of the best 30 minutes on youtube, which in so many other ways is an absolute wasteland full of bullshit. Now I'm even more wound up and ready to get to the gym for my daily workout. Goddamn the world needs more men like Bedros and less passive, timid, flabby titty boys.
Spot on bro, I’m trying to encourage all my bros to become that guy again. I’ve lost 35 pounds since 2021 back to being that dog I was in College. I desire to see Men be that A type Man we all should be.
Sir I'm glad i found you . your advice is really special to me
Keep up the good work sir
Bedros K, making men strong again!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👊🏽🙌🏽
This video inspired me to increase the intensity of my workout today
Good man!
Hey, Bedros, great as always! Can you make an episode with your stance and personal experience with TRT and anabolics? Do you think it has helped you or hindered you throughout the years? It will be great to hear your opinion. Have a great day!
Thank you so much for not sugar coating what I need to hear to get my ass moving. You inspired me to do more, my day starts at 3am for online school and with 2 jobs. I lost 20 lbs in a month by quitting the booze and smoking. I need to turn up the heat even more and man up. Thank you!
