- Is meat going to kill us or save us from disease, are vegetables really that bad for us and what is the reason behind this increase in BS being purported all across social media?

Human beings are the only animal on the planet that dosent know what its supposed to eat.
I dunno if we’re the “only” - my dog will eat literal shit if I don’t hold him back 😂
@jeckert547 very true haha, although out of choice they would eat mainly meat I am guessing.
No we know what to eat, but majority of people don’t have the discipline to follow through with it. Most people don’t want to cook home meals everyday when Uber eats is a few clicks away…..
Humans aren’t animals fool
10/10 for the commitment to the changing camera positions
This has to be the best advice of any video on UA-cam. Eat less move more and don't get hung up on what where when. Live life and enjoy it. We need more of you James. Keep spreading the common sense.
@@Josh-fg3fe Found the deluded cultist
It's good advice for someone who wants to be relatively healthy for modern day standards, but not for people who want to attain optimal health.
@@Josh-fg3fe which is why I’d always rather listen to someone like Eddie Abbew who will give you the truth rather than James smith who will make you feel better but won’t actually make you healthy
@@mikolaj967 lmao Not only does Eddie not give you the truth there is no such thing as optimal health, especially not from him
@@whereruaaron sure bud
As my nan used to say "everything in moderation" and "a bit of what you fancy does you good". Good enough mantras for me.
I watched that Netflix documentary, and the study results were simple: People who ate a balanced diet and exercized more, became healthier. Vegan or not. Shocking.
There was also a bunch of filler about how environmentally damaging industrial-scale farming is, but we already knew that too.
I don’t know how you aren’t the most popular online guy in the world. The way you put things is excellent. People, myself included over complicate trying to have a well balanced life.
Great video 😁👍🏻 congrats to you & the missus about the baby 🥳 and the RS6 😂
I appreciate that! 🫡🙏
Because James delivers facts, and that doesn't go over well people that need to be in a cult, or those looking for a quick fix that doesn't require much effort or thought. He also speaks of simple truths, such as eat less (calories), move more. That's really off-putting to people that NEED this to be complicated and difficult, (the "calories are impossible to calculate," and the "but my HoRmOoOoNeZz won't let me" crowds), so they have an excuse for not losing weight.
Weird and sensational get clicks, facts and truth, not so many. Except for cats, they get clicks no matter what. If James wants to get millions of subs, he's gonna have to get some kittens in his videos.
@@JamesSmithPT 😮 Congrats on the baby? How did I miss this. You having a Baby??
Absolutely love the message you are conveying, the best part is the advice you're giving is timeless its true now and it will be true in 50 years when some new or better yet a reused fad comes around.
Keep up the amazing work 😊
Really appreciate what youre doing, no nonsense, straight to the point with facts backed up with sources.
I eat toilet paper and wipe my ass with chicken and rice.
I’ve lost 50lbs and it’s totally changed my life, I feel so focused and detoxed now.
You're a legend, James! Great, easy to understand and to the point video once again. Thank you 😊
I. Love. Everything. About. This! Thank you for this!
Best health and fitness advice on UA-cam. I feel your frustration bro. I think the biggest issue effecting mankind is people have lost or sacrificed their ability to think for themselves. Please social media, tell me what to think!
the more I watch your videos, the more I like this channel! great stuff.
This absolutely certifies you as my favorite. Solid, realistic truths.
This is so down to earth. No-nonse approach. Love it.
Love the production of this one, all the short cuts and turns. So funny. Great message as always though mate 💪🏼
One of the best videos I’ve seen on the topic. Everyone is orthorexic and worrying about the wrong shit
Been reading Layne Norton for a while now and this is what I’ve gotten out of it. Excess body fat is bad. Eating too much saturated fat and LDL is bad. Exercise, vegies, and protein are all good. Don’t worry too much about anything else.
Thanks again for keeping it real❤
Love this, great advice! Thank you.
You know what I was just thinking about the same thing, loving the video and keep up the great content ❤. I can’t wait to get back in the gym freely after my operation on my UCL ligament in my right thumb!
Fantastic video. Couldn’t have said it or explained it better. Great work.
Well you could have said that better 😂
Good to see you back with your no BS content!
see my most recent comment. BS parts in his content...
We need more people like James for sure.
The way you edit your videos satisfies my ADHD immensely 👊🏻❤️
From a Vegan since 2018 - great video James. Looking forward to more BJJ videos geezer 💪
Great message!
that last sentence sums it up perfectly 👌
I agree james. The world has been following food trends since the 80’s instead of just sorting there eating out properly. Everyone wants to get results fast & sees fads as the way to get them. Great video brother.
Dr Kellogg was doing it, and I'm sure people did it earlier. He was obsessed with your excrement, and the idea that touching yourself should be, and could be stopped, with circumcision. I like the cereal but he was a sick puppy whose ideas mutilated generations of children.
It relies on two things: overweight people are looking for an excuse rather than accepting “you f#cking eat too much buddy”, and there’s never been a problem some charlatan couldn’t get rich selling you a solution to. Combine the 2 and you have decades of diet advice and “programs”.
I'd been wanting you to address these fad diets as I came to the realisation recently that all the ones I had tried in the past had basically done nothing more than leave me in a calorie deficit. (Ducan, Slimming World, Carnivore etc).
Thanks to you James I am now simply counting calories and losing weight and feel great for it 😉.
Love this James. Super informative
I like the fact there was a noom ad at the start and a fitbit thing at the end
Love Sven just hanging out on the couch while James films this
Awesome bro definitely a better way of looking at health and well-being
Spot on as usual!
Great video, agree 100%. I've also noticed a lot of people like to agonise over minutiae that may make a 5% difference while neglecting the basic things that make the main difference to overall health and wellbeing.
Nice, to the point 👍 Balance, that's all you need.
You have taken the right topic mate ✌🏻👌🏻
Really good video! Thanks for the content
I think a video of you giving your opinion of Gary Brecka would be banging
This was really really good.
Nice one mate
Fair points - it all comes down to basic principles in the end
Mate why don't you have 100 million subscribers, it's because the world unfortunately is full of people who are desperate for a quick fix, and listen to people who offer this fix for money, I so wish people would question everything again.
Some of your best work!
You hit the nail on the head. Nutrition has become an alternative religion for lots of nutcases.
Great advice James,
Absolutely spot on James 👍
Great video that highlights the lunarcy of these fad diet cults. Everything in moderation was always spoken about back in the day, and it is totally forgotten about nowadays within society. Don't cut out certain elements from your diet!!
Very active days eat more, less active days - guess what!!??
Eat less!! Move more!!
Too many excuses in today's world. Its a joke. Cheers James for keeping it real 👊
I just eat the same amount each day, doesn't worry me if I gain some fat in winter and lose some in spring/summer. Saves on heating and cooling
beautifully said and done
one of your best vids to date. All very true...and very forgotten by most.
i love this lad!
Couldn't agree with you more James. Love your videos.
Great video James and a lot of common sense spoken here
Finally, some honesty online.
Hey james, Been watching you for quite a while and love your stuff being a fello aussie and rugby + BJJ athlete - was hoping for you to do a video on how to build up cardio and if cardio loses gains. Cheers
This video is great, it should be shown in schools
This man feels like a voice of reason in a sea of literal SHIT that is social media content. What he is saying is "the basics" that most of us have heard at some point but people keep going deeper and deeper and trying to find THE diet, THE excesrise plan... Shut the fuck up, eat less, move more, you are good. That's basically it. Love it James, keep at it man.
On an unrelated (kind of related..?) note, i'm starting BJJ next week and i couldn't be more excited!
Love your vids.
🤣 LMAO... Oh man, this one was difficult to watch! Thank you, for helping balancing out this landscape! (Fitness Industry)
Excellent video. Great views own the topic.
Well said!
Transitions are 🔥
That was an incredible and accurate description on getting a chip out of the wrapper whilst walking home 😂
like fingering a girl hahahaha had me rolling
Bravo 👏👏👏👏 thanks for telling us these (obvious?) (common sense?) things !!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Spot on!
Need more people like you 🫡
Having a six pack isn’t going to stop you killing yourself 🙌😂😂😂
James, you are a gift ❤️
That is epically real yet again. All other influencers should be bowing down to your level of transparency
What a breath of fresh air
If I’ve subscribed to your channel, liked the videos and told people am I in a cult? Or is this just common sense, eat the best that you can, do the best you can do and have a goal, simple or BHAG either is fine, just keep score with yourself and try and improve in the long term . Thanks James, one of your best videos yet
I want to thank you, James! In the past I've always been fixated on the goal of becoming big and shredded at the same time. Your other video made me realize that it's probably way more healthy and realistic to find my personal sweet spot between looking great and feeling great. Since then my whole attitude towards food and working out changed dramatically and I found new joy in the process. I am no longer trying to achieve this perfect look but rather something that feels right. I am sure once I reached this spot it will be way more attractive than the ultra shredded look I was aiming for - because I'll be happier like this than otherwise. And yes, I am trying to look good for other people as well (as is everybody else). But my focus has shifted on feeling better and becoming more capable. Thank you for your inspiration for that! Please keep spreading this message of common sense, being human and enjoying life. It's a much needed antidote to a hyper-optimized society.
Some people aren't living life cause they are out of shape, some because they are so preoccupied with being in shape. Just got to hit that sweet spot inbetween
Well said 👍
Spitting straight FACTS. Everyone in the country needs to watch this. 10/10 info.
@@__SIRJamesSmith No problem! Much deserved recognition man. What would you like to discuss?
@@__SIRJamesSmith @JamesSmithPT this you or some scammer?😂
You always seem to word things so well but this. Wow you nailed it. I love fucking it!
This is the truth man
Best health advice ever...
The amount of people I have talked to about calories and how to manage/loose weight and they are surprised when I show them how easy it is. And they don't have to starve themselves, don't have to kill themselves in the gym to the point of injury etc. they don't believe me yet I'm the one in shape and they ask whenever we are out eating or drinking how I do it.....I explain and they want details....I say I eat whatever I want to a point. I don't gorge myself on a 1500 calorie meal then not eat until dinner time. I portion it out over the day to hit a goal for my body. It is nuanced in that everyone is different but a basic rule of energy in and energy out is all it takes. If you eat more then you burn you are Gunna gain weight. If you eat less then you burn you'll loose weight. Simple....easy and doesn't restrict the diet at all. Have that icecream just don't have the whole tub.....have that extra slice of pizza just don't eat the whole thing in one sitting.....stuff like that.
I have an autistic son and a stressful life as well. I often hear it's hard with kids and life....yeah ok I get that and I miss my goals sometimes but am I Gunna let it ruin the progress I made absolutely not.. people stress too much on the how and not as much on the oh well I'll start again tomorrow.
Social media doesn't help with them always trying to reinvent the wheel even with training. Your channel James is the only one I see telling it how it is.
It isn't complicated your phone can calculate your calories you need and don't. Your watch can track it these days it's simpler then ever but people make it so so complicated.
This guy knows it!
100% agree. Find what works for you.
Great overall message, and a lot of people need to hear this. I will however add my two cents.
I have a very physical job and train multiple times a week. I never had an issue with excess body fat, six pack year round. I always felt like my issue was not getting enough calories because of how much I do.
However I recently switched to a whole food diet. Cut out a lot of excess sugar, processed food. Just very simple, fruit, nuts, veg, meat eggs and things like honey, rice legumes etc. just a basic, good food diet.
I noticed an enormous change, heaps of old injuries and niggles healed within weeks, sleep improved, digestion, mood. It was fascinating.
To me, obesity was never an issue.
100% agree with your take on this, have recently done the same and seen similar benefits.
Usually think James has a lot of common sense but underplays the benefits seen by moving away from UPF because of his own biases.
Smart and entertaining as always 😂
😂😂😂😂 Dying here. Vshred was the first ad on your video. For a second I thought he highjacked your channel.
Finally the a type of James Smith Video why i subscribed. As someone struggeling with obesity, i can only say that in the end the only thing helps, is reducing calories consumed, increase calories burned. (Basic stuff) AND all this needs to be in format that is sustainable in your lifestyle. And be aware of lifestyle changes and try to adapt early enough, thats what brings the yoyo-effect if not done. So walking more is also basic, but the easiest thing to include in a sustainable lifestyle. Take the stairs.
Genius video 💎
A balanced take. Cheers!
Eddie Abbew is literally pulsating with rage at this video…😂
The statement you made about the meta analysis that "sugar on its own does not cause weight gain, and does not prevent weight loss, as long as you manage the amount of calories someone is consuming" is a simplification of the study's findings and requires some unpacking.
Here's what the study actually found:
- Increased sugar intake *was associated with weight gain:* Adults who increased their sugar intake gained an average of 0.75 kg compared to those who didn't increase it.
- Reduced sugar intake *was associated with weight loss:* Adults who reduced their sugar intake lost an average of 0.80 kg compared to those who didn't reduce it.
- Isoenergetic exchange of sugar with other carbohydrates showed no weight change: When sugar was replaced with other sources of calories (like starchy carbohydrates), there was no significant weight difference.
However, the study also acknowledges some limitations:
- Short intervention durations: Most studies lasted less than 8 weeks, making long-term effects unclear.
- Difficulty controlling caloric intake: It's challenging to isolate the effect of sugar alone, as people often change their overall calorie intake when advised to change their sugar intake.
- Potential publication bias: Studies showing significant effects are more likely to be published, which could skew the overall picture.
Based on these findings, here's a more nuanced interpretation:
- While managing overall calorie intake is crucial for weight management, evidence suggests that simply reducing sugar intake can lead to weight loss, and increasing it can lead to weight gain.
- Sugar-containing foods and beverages often contribute to excess calorie intake, making it easy to consume more calories than needed, even if you consciously manage your overall intake.
- The long-term effects of sugar intake on weight and health are less clear, and further research is needed.
Therefore, the statement you made is an oversimplification. While managing calorie intake is important, relying solely on that and ignoring the impact of sugar might not be the best approach for weight management.
Remember, interpreting complex research requires caution and a nuanced understanding. Always consider the study's limitations and context before drawing definitive conclusions.
Slightly ironic of you to roast people for not reading studies while low-key misrepresenting a study you referenced yourself. Stay humble.
Love the truths brother! As a type 1 diabetic I can assure you that sugar, in reasonable quantities, won’t kill you. But if I cut it out entirely it will kill me. Lol thanks for the great, balanced, fact based advice.
This is just good quality content. Im capping it at 80% and off to get my 20% of V-shred.
I always try to keep an open mind about all of this just nowadays in a few seconds you hear about something and why you should do it and later you find someone telling you why you shouldn't do this. which is why this video describes this whole thing perfectly. just don't overthink stuff.
I just tore my MCL, I feel you
Car dependency has done a lot of damage to people's movement. Urban sprawl putting so many things we use constantly further away, and a high percentage of car journeys being only a couple miles it's no wonder people are fatter than they used to be. Walking or cycling to work and other places does your brain a whole lot of good and your body even more, and it means less pressure on you to get exercise in other times. Driving to the gym to go and step on a treadmill is absolutely insane. People are gaining weight because ordinary daily tasks require less movement than they used to and high calorie food is more accessible than ever, simple.
So nice to hear someone like you say there AREN'T some magical things, or compulsory steps that everyone MUST do to SMASH IT!!!!
I'm almost 10 years post a, very near death, liver transplant - lots of those "things everyone MUST DO" wont work for me - there is a big hole in my abdomen, a set of demons in my psych, and my meds mean that some days I can hardly move without join t pain - and there are others like me and a lot worse off.
I do what I can and work my 455 off (and am successful in transplant sport as a discus thrower both nationally and internationally) but I'll never look like a 'roided Instagram influencer - Keep doing what you are doing it helps folks like me!
Nailing it
Thank you
Confused, should I tan my arse hole or not? Thanks James.
Awesome, hope the knees OK mate
Truth! TRUTH!!!
The last line was easily the best
I'm late to the comments, which means late to your channel...have to agree with the overall delivery.
But I'm more in agreement with the last bars you dropped: don't just train/gym, do so with a goal in mind. Do sport! Start off slow. Find ur pace, commit, and most of all, enjoy.
Also: I'm competing in my first bjj comp tomorrow! OSS😁
Excellent
