Is Austin cheating?!
PEDs.
HE IS JUST THAT DEVOTED!!!
💯
I think so. He knows when you upload and his fingers are at the ready. 😁🤣
definitely
Her reverse dieting videos pulled me out of disordered eating and I truly believe the knowledge her videos taught me saved my life and my fitness journey. I’m about to do mini cut cycles after spending 6 months sorting my metabolism- her recommendation again. Her over pushing supplements does grate occasionally- but she is solid and I have nothing but thanks for her!
This makes me so happy! Thank you for your comment 🥰 This is why I do what I do.
Thank you so much for this video! I LOVE what you added to the discussion 🙌🏻 Mindset is sooooo key on a health & fitness journey and diet culture has corrupted so much of the space. It's so great to hear other people talking about it like this.
I just wanna address some things I see in the comments here because a lot of things that I've said has been taken waaay out of context (as tends to happen on the internet lol) and I don't want people getting the wrong idea 😂 I definitely talk about supplements a lot and share what I've learned about them in a lot of videos. I also do partner with a few select supplement companies. But I very regularly get messages from people about supplements and what kinds of things I recommend so a lot of my audience is actively requesting that kind of content, which is why I address it in so many videos. If I just wanted money, there are plenty of other companies I could partner with that would/could pay me more lmaooo. Also, I try to make this clear in my videos (but maybe I don't say it often enough), but I don't believe supplements are necessary for most people. I just personally LOVE learning about them and reading the science on them (even if the science isn't 100% conclusive). Finding a new cool supplement just excites me and keeps me motivated in my fitness journey. That is why I take a lot of supplements and share what I learn--simply because it's a hobby and passion of mine. I understand that not everyone cares about supplements or wants to invest in them and that is totally okay! I'm 100% here for it if you never want to add any supplements. I just love doing the research and experimenting and trying new things :)
Thank you for tolerating my waffle! Also, I very much appreciate you addressing the comments about supplements and I'm sure many others within this comment section do too :)
I see TFNL, I click, it’s that easy 🤷🏼♀️
ily ❤️
If you're workouts feel like a chore, and your diet is making you miserable, then you need to take a step back, and reevaluate both.
I will watch this. I will give it a like. But I still want the Jeff Nippard one😮💨
I appreciate the motivation vs. dedication talk. In the midst of my depressive episode some time ago, I couldn’t even get myself to brush my teeth because I didn’t “feel like it.” I think there is a corner of the internet that I once loved that was like “listen to your body” “do what you need to do” “don’t do anything that you don’t want” and essentially do what makes you feel good regardless of what that is. And that can feed into A LOT of bad habits and unhealthy ones. I’ve since stoped asking if I feel like doing something and just do it.
I got some actual new information from Marisa on how the menstrual cycle might relate to working out. Literally had not heard anyone talk about it. Also her video about "getting abs at a higher body fat percentage" is just spitting facts and the approach in it absolutely worked for me.
Otherwise I almost completely stopped watching her, her videos are too rambly for my taste. Plus the pushing of pricey and non-scientific supplements is a turn off for me.
Eugene Teo talked about it too in a previous video. Or rather, he interviewed a woman about it and she talked about how it affects women's training and strength.
crazy timing of this- I used to watch her every video two or three years back, and for a long time forgot she even existed. I remembered a week or so ago and checked out her channel: every single recent video was one I'd seen before remade. 'Meals to lose weight' 'what is reverse dieting?' 'how to get lean' etc; I think she must cycle through new followers every year or so, because I don't see how anyone could keep watching the same videos ad infinitum
Same! Her content became too much about "flat stomach, big butt" for me to keep following her. She was a big reason I started intermittent fasting. I had to remove myself from any restrictive diet content to fully heal my relationship with food and she was one of the channels I unsubscribed to. Nothing she promoted was outrageous but I couldn't keep watching creators who eat 2 meals a day, are constantly trying to cut and just generally fixated on "healthy foods". I only watch food related videos from people like Natacha where she eats whatever she wants and promotes making nutritious and delicious food. That is a very personal thing though, she generally promotes pretty good information, I just needed to move away from any sort of diet for weight loss content
@@RoastedSaltedPeanut I agree that most of her stuff is good, but she was also quite keen to jump on stuff with more shaky science which is another point where she lost me. I was in the middle of a bachelors of food and nutritional health, and so her talking about bone broth fasts and adaptogenic coffee got very stale very quickly
@TheLostPumpkin i stopped watching her for those exact reasons. Her advice can sometimes be super gimicky. As a scientist her whole "nerdy" persona only came off as know-it-all to me and not really as someone who does critical research before hitching her wagon to an idea. That said, she can actually do pull ups and i have yet to get to one so ..
“I think she must cycle through new followers every year or so, …”
Yep. This is actually how the fitness industry works in general. New people get into fitness every year and they have the same questions as the people who came in last year. And newer videos will be more likely to pop up in the algorithm and be clicked on by new people. So some fitness channels have figured out they can literally just recycle their old content over and over to grab the attention of new people. Not every channel does this, but if you stick around UA-cam fitness long enough, you’ll see people you follow remaking old videos all over.
I agree! I used to watch her content regularly but for the past year or so I stopped because they seem to talk about the same stuff over and over...
i'm always in such an on off thing with MissFitAndNerdy, like ill be all cool with it and then she will say one thing that just stops me watching her for years, but shes such a good example of a fitness youtube who is so fulling going through her own growth in knowledge and doesn't pretend any different. Would love to see more on her :)
I followed her for a few months because I liked some of her messaging but it became a bit apparent that she was pushing a lot of supplements, adaptogenic non-science based herbs that are basically placebos. She also pushes use of that four sigmatic mushroom supplement/4S protein products that are again pricey and not proven to work, it felt disingenuous
I agree! I really like most of her content but her constant pushing of supplements in undisclosed ads really bothers me.
I’ve watched her years ago then revisited her, she just made it very clear even influencers can be just as clueless as the rest of us. It seems to be about trying to find what works for you. Which takes time, takes failing, takes trying something new. We’re all at it.
yaaayyy I'm so happy you did a video on her!
thank youu for this one!
lol just watched her video like an hour ago. Love that you are covering her
You just out worded some of my thoughts, I´m glad I´m not the only one who feels bad for not brushing my teeth :D great video
Video Notes:
Got the reference, Thanos!
Thanks for calling out the inappropriate touching there. Very positive mental health message here from her (and you further backing it up) on not letting negative emotions drive decisions and not being so hard on yourself…which as you know, stuff I struggle with quite a bit, but making progress!
Love the positivity from you video after video, keep putting your message out there, it’s making a difference in many people’s lives.
Looking forward to next video as always, in addition to your thoughts on Moose's question, as I know your perspective on it will be a valuable one!
YOU TWO ARE GOALS!!
Thank you for that toleratable video. I apprechiate it a lot🧡
Oooo I’m excited for this one! Please do a deep dive! I mostly like her content, although I do definitely see some issues
Omg finally hahaha I've been waiting for this one
Thanks for the video Harry!! I have watched miss fit and nerdy for awhile now. I do like that her info is based in science and she seems different than typical fitness influencers. She does seem very focused on body size tho in many of her videos, which I struggle with.
Love the example of when to help someone in the gym i.e. if there is risk of injury in the equation - sometimes I think people use the excuse that someone is struggling with a weight to enter their personal space or touch them and it’s not on
Interesting to see what you think of an influencer I actually follow thanks for the videos
I haven't watched one of Marisa's videos in a while because the algorithm hasn't served one up, but thanks for the review and reminding me that her content and messaging are generally good and enjoyable. She has a fantastically positive energy too.
Ooooo we got a progressive overload on the like goal!! Great info as always :)
Oh yasssss! Finally you covered Marisa 😱😱😱 I would love a deep dive into her content! Great video as usual 🤩
Glad you are looking into MissFitAndNerdy, I have followed her for a while and wanted to suggest her channel to you already. Hope there will be a follow up :)
Just smashed through the podcast episodes. Kept me company while I trained lower body yesterday, was like having a group of friends hanging out together in the gym.
On the topic of motivation vs. discipline - I can have so much motivation to do something, but sometimes I just don't have the self-discipline to do it. I think it's a fascinating topic and now, thinking more about it, I should do more reasearch. Another great video! 😊
I had to come back to Like the video and also add that I have been waiting for this video. I have been following Miss Fit and Nerdy for a few months, but before I discovered this channel, and her discussion on reverse dieting helped me re-evaluate how poor and unhealthy I was eating at the time. I am glad that at least some of her content has the approval of TFNL :)
Dude, your videos are so great! I've been watching your content and they make my mind so much at peace with my weight-loss journey. I stopped following restricting diets, instead enjoying what I eat with moderation and being happier. This makes me more active voluntarily. I haven't weighed myself in a long time but I feel healthier and more productive than ever. Thank youuuuuuu for putting out such great content that I can apply to my life!!! I wish you have these videos in podcast types as well.
Check the description, there is a "Pump Fiction" podcast he is on!
I use switch grip for deadlifts. Makes it easier on my hands when I lift heavy and so I don’t wind up with any lat strength imbalances.
😂😂 The wig...just love it..ok just found your channel and I will probably binge and comment..so far I'm enjoying a different perspective 👍 back to the video
It’s definitely a look! Thank you ❤️
I absolutely hated the gym to start with but learnt to love it. So hate can be something you experience. But my overall thought was a positive one, to get fitter and stronger.
The hat/hair, made my day!!
Love thunder storms!!! Coolest one I’ve seen was in Australia. Thoughts on coolest weather - country or continent?! 😄
I really appreciate MissFitAndNerdy and you-- I thought in watching this recent video by her, it aligned with a lot of what you preach.
the hair is giving me dragon ball Z vibes!
**loud crack** "that sounded healthy" LOOOOOL!
wow so impressive with those pullups!! I think the guy was trying to be friendly and help but unfortunate that he did that without her asking, I thought it was her friend ):
I needed to hear that "youre not where you want to be, but youre a step closer"
motivation
I really enjoy your videos.
thx for answering my question:}
The hair is definitely if Yugi was a tennis player because of the visor hahaha
OMG I’m so excited to watch this! I love missfitandnerdy-so weird cos you 2 are the main people I really watch about fitness ♥️
same here!
I would really appreciate it if you can make a video on reverse dieting! I feel like Missfitandnerdy is the only person that makes videos on it and having different opinions would be nice!!
Nice hat vibes - no question. Looking forward to you comments on trauma. I can testify that EMDR therapy is very helpful for traumatic memories. Highly recommend people check it out. I will say appreciate what your body can do. My father was in a wheelchair....gave me an appreciation for what my body can do and an appreciation that even the smaller things are helpful.
I've seen promising stuff on EMDR on it's stimulation of the vagus nerve and impacts on parasympathetic nervous system.
It really helped me with healing from sexual assault and physical abuse from a past relationship. Nothing is perfect but EMDR did help a lot!
My husband went through EMDR counseling for trauma from his job in the medical field, he said it helped a lot
I love her! So glad you did a video on her
The hat 👌🏾
And never heard of miss fit and nerdy but I liked what she had to say and a lot of what she said alines with what I say. Thanks for shining a light on her!
Please do more MissFitAndNerdy vids! I used to watch her a lot but Reddit doesn’t seem fond of her lol
I’ve waited for this video long time 😎 didn’t watch it yet hahahha
I'm here so early this time!! 😳❤️
I have such a confusing time watching her videos. While there is nothing outrageous about what I’ve watched and I’ve watching quite a bit, I feel like she is an example of what I don’t want which is someone who makes fitness their whole life. Like, I refused to go to the gym cause everyone I saw who did online made it a hobby/borderline obsession. I want to be in shape but I don’t want to spend time outside of the gym thinking about protein per gram, form, time under tension, designing and redesigning workout plans, talking about my workout split in real life conversation. It’s just that a lot of what she says (not making excuses) is easier to do when it is your job than if you are on a journey in addition to a totally unrelated job.
This has got to be my favorite hat so far. 😂
I love thunderstorms too. Find them so peaceful 🙂
Recently I’ve finally progressed in cable triceps extension and I was just knocking on failures doors when one lady decided to help me… ugh, she actually ruined my whole session😡
I love Marissa’s videos. I just watched this one yesterday.
The supplements are annoying but her advice along with some consistent exercise got me to get way more toned than my previous efforts so i appreciate that
Best hat this year! You really should wear it everyday 😂
Has to be the best hat yet
First of.... thank YOU for making these videos, thank YOU for tolerating us as your following, we appreciate you.
Lately I've been working out in the gym and I've been loving dynamic workouts, where I fit quite a lot of different excersizes in one session. But I'm not sure if this is the right way to train for hypertrophy. I was wondering, what would you say does a good session in the gym look like for hypertrophy? How many excersizes in one session, etcetera? There's so much info out there, I tend to get lost 😂😅
Literally ALL of her information is taken directly from the Mind Pump Podcast; of which she is a major fangirl. If you want the info, get it from the source and skip her as the middleman.
Sal tells us when they're sponsored as well. I don't care for her methods when she pushes supplements.
I was so surprised about this. I found her before i started listening to MindPump. I binged very old MP episodes, and what you are saying is 100% true.
just peeked into the comments and I can also say the same, that she is basically the only other youtuber whose videos i watch about fitness, so i am curious about your thoughts on her other videos/about her in general!
this is the best hat yet
I - love - this - hat
That "spotting dude" is just a creep. My 13 year old daughter wants to start going to the gym with me and I'm kind of struggling with the concept because of gentlemen like this.
I'm actually more consistent with my workout than I am with brushing my teeh 😬
I have a question, if I may: what is the deal with Pilates? The fans of Pilates insists that it will magically transform your body, meanwhile the muscle bros insists that it only does something for you if you’re recovering from severe injuries. So is it worthwhile or nah?
Hey, I’ve been doing Pilates a fair bit for the last few years. When I went to classes at the gym, I’d use it as a warm-up(!) before my usual workout and I found my posture and mobility was fantastic to jump straight into my specific gym exercises after a class. I’m not at the gym currently, and doing pay-by-session Pilates Reformer classes for now. This means I’m not working towards my specific strength goals (like pull ups) but I’m still moving, still working on what I understand to be good muscle dominance (glutes stronger than quads - feel free to correct me if I’m misled on this though!), and still working on posture things like hip alignment during movements, shoulder alignment, core engagement. I’ve found a big difference between teachers. Some focus heavily on planks, glue bridges and lactic acid (not that they say that), and some do a wide variety of movements and talk about posture and breathing etc so much I’m too mentally tired to do a workout afterwards! That’s my experience to date.
I find pilates (and I am a pilates teacher, so obviously going to be a bit biased) is great a an addition to your work outs, it focused on functional movement and training our muscles to be longer+ stronger, vs bigger bulking aesthetic muscles. (which doesn't mean one is better than the other. exercising for smaller range, brute strengths and for sculpting and aesthetics is not wrong!
I taught in a gym for a very long time and noticed those same muscle bros weren't able to do half the exercises. (just like I can't lift what they can lift) When we train for visible muscle, a lot of the time we're targeting the more superficial muscles (closer to the skin, easier to target), in pilates we try to focus on the more superior muscles (superior meaning, deeper, your stability and support muscles). We also focus on mobility and trying to even out our sides so we're not wildly stronger on one or the other. We target muscles that don't look good, but are important for our body's basic daily functions and for aging bodies to have less pain. This is why I think both are great. If we have a stronger support structure, strong abs, better active range of movement, surely our performance at the gym where we're lifting heavy can only be improved, safer, and more productive. That being said, if you only have time for one, pick the one that aligned with your body and life goals.
@@nbelferzwaiman I hear what you're saying, and I'm curious if it only applies to physique sports like bodybuilding, or if it's also true for strength sports like powerlifting, olympic weightlifting, or strongman. A lot of those athletes don't look like classic "muscle bros" but they're way stronger. I personally do both powerlifting and yoga (I've heard that pilates evolved in part from yoga, but I'm sorry if I'm wrong) and find that they complement each other well, but I do think the core work in each is not that different as both focus on internal stabilizing muscles over visible abs. What are your thoughts?
I have the same question and similarly about calisthenics?!
@@herodotusgreenleaf6776 What an interesting question! I'm going to be super honest, and just discuss what I have anecdotal evidence for. Please take this with a grain of salt and I don't have any studies in front of me. (Not sure if they would even exist)
I think fundamentally sports have a 'focus' like swimming is very shoulder and upper body dominant, something like soccer is lower body dominant, kickboxing is both (and of the three perhaps the most 'balanced' so to speak with additional focus on mobility+ strength because what use is a kick if your hamstrings are so tight that you can't reach your opponent.) This focus dictates how an athlete trains, rests and eats. With a lot of sports, we don't see huge bodies because huge bodies aren't efficient for many of those movements.
Larger bodies with bigger muscles are ideal for things like weightlifting, powerlifting etc. Often times aesthetic or body builder training crosses over with these training methods. The thing is, a powerlifter or olympic lifter wouldn't generally do a bulk and then a cut. A cut isn't efficient. proper nutrition and enough of it is the best way to fuel a body for consistent performance. 'Showing the muscle' isn't the goal. Another thing that really helps when lifting heavy over and over at a high level, knowing that you must be able to repeat your performance in order to beat your opponent? Training those stabilizing muscles, those core and back deep muscles and learning how to be efficient with the energy we expend. Their bodies are often larger because fat protects our joints and organs. If you want to lift heavy, very, very heavy for long periods of time without destroying the joints, you have to fuel properly and not be afraid of a larger body.
In my head that is the key difference between Body building and 'athletic' for lack of a better word, weightlifting/ strength displays.
And yes! Pilates evolved from gymnastics, yoga, martial arts, and was heavily influenced by how dancers train. You're right on the money. Stability in the core is a fundamental part of most sports and more regimented physical pursuits in my experience, I always get a bit confused when it falls by the wayside despite being so important for being able to move into old age. (maybe that's the anatomy nerd inside me coming out)
edit: that was a novel. I hope I covered the question in the right way!
I just don’t like how she has sponsors and works them into her advice - like is this something you’d really suggest or are you just saying that bc you’re sponsored??
Same! Like if you’re gonna do an ad just do a regular sponsored section of the video like everyone else
I see, you would work with out fertig paid for that. Aha
Lorna Shore- Suneater
Super Saiyan hair?
Love thunder storms!!! Coolest one I’ve seen was in Australia. Thoughts on coolest weather - country or continent?! 😄☀️🌩❄️⛈🫧💦🌊🔥💥
Triceps.
I use to follow her but she seemed to try something new every 3 days. How are you suppose to see results if you're changing your diet/routine every other day
This hat is hilarious!
I miss Truffle.
For the algorythm ❤
Storms are the best you are not weird.
I have watched so many of her how she toned up or leaned out or whatever but she looks the same as she has for years. Not saying she isn't in great shape, just saying for all these videos about she changed her body, her body looks the same
This hat though ☺️🤣
Back it.
I really hate that "meditation is my medication sweater", we really need to stop acting like medicine is bad or implying relying on medicine instead of food, movement, mindfulness etc to manage health is less admirable. She's also constantly shilling adaptogens on her channel, I think she promotes a lot of pseudo science to her followers.
I'm glad someone else noticed that! I really hated seeing that, sure medication may not be right for everyone but for many it is life saving (myself included) .
I take meds and practice meditation. I know which one is science-based and does the most for me. I can live pleasantly without meditation. Without medication it won't be pleasant.
Yup, her shirt immediately bothered me.
Obviously if you have a severe condition where it requires medication to continue living, yeah take it, but I think when she says that, she refers to average people who do not have conditions where medications is absolutely necessary. A lot of people rely on over the counter pills bc it’s “easier”, whereas lifestyle changes could drastically decrease or eliminate the need for medications (like Tylenol for flu, incorporating more whole foods and relaxation will benefit you when the Tylenol is a temporary relief). I’m not sure why people underestimate meditation- this is a method thats thousands of years old, to improve your well being and a deeper connection to yourself. You can take medication and meditate, you can meditate to relieve anxiety, to ease pain, everything. Don’t underestimate your body’s natural way of healing with these natural remedies. Go see a medical doctor if you feel something is wrong- it’s amazing that it’s easy access here in North America and other parts of the world, and can do a lot to save your life. you can also save your own life with food, mediation, mindfulness, and exercise
I LOVE meditation. The range of benefits, both proven and anecdotal, is amazing. It feels great. It should be taught and adopted nationally.
But.
Medicine is there, and it works, and it's very effective most of the time. To act like it's not a viable choice is irresponsible.
I am an actual scientist and it’s a LOT of pseudoscience or the association isn’t as strong as she alleges.
I used to really enjoy her content but it tends to get very repetitive after a while. I think she's trying to cater to newbies / people returning to fitness mostly and not people that need more in depth knowledge. Which is valid! Just not for me anymore
yup. Like how many times can she diet, reverse diet, diet, bulk, cut and over and over. The recycling content is something I see with a lot of fitness channels who kind of at some point talking about all there is to talk about
Answer to your quote: "you're insane! "
Never heard of her...
I really thought I could beat Austin
Someday.
I love Miss Fit and Nerdy. Lot's of interesting info about health, diet and fitness, minus the diet culture nonsense.
stopped watching her bc it got annoying that ever vid was lose weight, lean out, how i lost 10 lbs, etc. Like okay, its fine you want to lose weight or lost weight but how about a different topic? Vlog? Lifestyle vid or workout vid? Also dont need 5 vids on the same topic.
That hair matches your eyebrows too well. Didn't look as fake as it should have. Lol
Damn, too slow
The attempt was valliant.
Too big.
How can you make a video like this and not once utter the words that defined this channel in the early years
Its you v you
Sacrilege
You should see her pricing for health coaching…. $1400+ per month 🤡🤡
I have seen her videos.She promotes very malnurished body.Also she claims to loose so much weight in very less time and shows healthy body as "fat" in before and malnurished skinny body as "fit" in her thumbnail which is also photoshopped.All she does is generate more insecure womens with body dysmorphia.She could rather promote gaining muscle mass and healthy 20% fat percentage.
You love to see an influencer spreading positive, evidence backed commentary on fitness.
CQotW (that's right - I don't stop even when I get a callout. Which I bet much appreciate): what is a tattoo that you have, that you'd change, if you could? Why?
