      the only reason for someone to give you such discount is: their service isn't worth more...
      and really, saying "this is the only day to purchase it" was the worst thing they could do. made me jump backwards. what? you don't give me even one day to think? what do you think I will find in this one day? that you are a serial killer?

    I'm glad I decided to research this a little, and I'm glad I found your channel, Ben. I'm getting to the point of feeling pretty desperate. I just finished watching their ad and was pretty close to pulling the trigger (out of desperation). Thankfully my brain kicked in and said, "Maybe look a little deeper before parting with money." But I did want to comment on at least one reason people are willing to take a chance on something like this.
    I'm 60 years old and heavier than I've ever been in my life. I have plantar fasciitis and stand on a concrete floor all day. I've recently begun having knee problems. Because of my age and work environment, I thought that maybe I might need a knee replacement, or at least some kind of surgery. Then I thought that maybe I could put it off a little if I take some of the stress off my feet and knees (ie. lose weight). Who knows, maybe that's the entire problem and I don't need knee surgery at all.
    So, with that I watched the V Shred video and got some measure of hope back - let's face it, he says all the right things that desperate people want to hear. I personally know people that go to the gym frequently and have not lost any substantial weight. I myself have done that. Also, I've changed my food intake (combined with exercise) and was successful in losing a few pounds - even 20 or so pounds - but as soon as I slack up even a little it comes back and with even more weight (like I said, I weigh more than I ever have, and this after one of the above-described episodes). So, hearing that there might be some "secret" or "what nobody talks about" way is appealing. I mean, what if it's just the sequence of events that I'm messing up, and if I simply make some minor tweaks to what I'm doing, I'll find success. This is VERY enticing.
    Anyway, I'm not going to fall for it, but I did want to share with you how desperate some people can get and therefore are willing to believe almost anything.
    Peace.

There is no easy shortcut for health and a good body or anything that's worth it for that matter. NOTHING replaces a proper "diet" (which should be a lifestyle) and exercise. Both have enormous benefits but do require hard work and dedication. Period. Thank you for the awesome video!

      Even weight loss surgery would be less expensive and that is saying something! He's right about us having different body types and that some diets are fads. But you just got to find the right diet for you and then turn that diet into a lifestyle. It's true that you can't always be eating out with friends and eating whatever you want all the time even when you're skinny because they could cause diabetes, cholesterol and heart problems! You can cheat maybe once a week or when you're on vacation but not all the time.

    I am thankful for this video exposing VShred, and really all the other groups like them. So many "we have the secret to weight loss" videos have been in my FB feed lately.
    I supposed I don't need any of them as just watching what I eat and moving as much as I can is really all I need to do. There are lots of YT vids about "chair exercises" where you exercise while seated. And I have a calorie counter on my phone so I can track what I eat.

Great great way to exercise. I've been doing it for years I'm 5'10 180 lb. The best way to lose weight and get in shape, is to burn more calories than you're taking in. When it comes to eating, cut back on your portions. Avoid sweets. Try to eat as healthy as you can, and exercise. Plain and simple. I know everybody is different, but that's basically it, in a nutshell.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but I might start buying a lot of chicken breast, maybe steak once or twice a week and of course veggies and I do actually love salad but with blu cheese and buffalo chicken bites in my salad.. without salad dressing. Is this a good diet? I'll probably crave burgers still but I'd try to get low fat burgers and use lettuce instead of bread for my burgers. Thoughts?

I feel like -- while I hate the ole -- "We're going to give you all this free information" and then "Oh, that free info was really unhelpful? Okay, well you can pay for better information!" While I hate that, I feel like there may be some information in the VShred overly long presentations that are not total nonsense. For years and years I thought weight loss was calories in and calories out. But a few doctors online introduced the idea that hormones also effect weight loss. A new wrinkle. And this idea of Carb Cycling. It seems like our bodies get stuck (and settle in) with routine that never changes. We've all hit plateaus before. Is there something to the idea of mixing up your diet? Does that also keep you from "falling off the wagon" if you're just eating salads all the time?

    One thing he is not wrong about is, hormones do majorly affect your ability to maintain, gain or lose weight. Although, he is not explaining it in detail. In order to manage your hormones, you will need to see either a rheumatologist or an endocrinologist. If your thyroid is not functioning properly, managing weight can feel close to impossible, or just flat out dangerous. Someone who has a thyroid autoimmune disease and/or a thyroid imbalance should consult a endocrinologist in order to come up with a "game plan" of how to better their health and possibly gain or lose weight.

But I'm 2 months late and I'm not sexually active and I don't want to get on birth control. I was on the Depo shot for two years at one point and gained a bunch of weight. Then I would have a lot of trouble losing it after that although part of it was my fault because I should have not gave up on my diet and let myself go completely. I am 29 years old and I am done with birth control and trying to get off as many medications as I can. I am currently trying to get off my Keppra meds for seizures but the doctor says within 1 to 2 years is when I can get off of it completely. The only meds I want to be on is my sleeping meds.

      Keto is bs also. It is not healthy to lose weight with keto. I talked to a doctor and he said yes you might lose some weight but it can also damage your health. Any sort of diet will. You have to have balance which none of the diets provide, there is always favoring some foods and demonizing the others. No food is a demon (even carbs and fats), all of it has to be present for your body to work like Swiss clocks. The root is in quantity

    I just saw an advertisement by VShred and am glad I decided to find out more before purchasing. Their advertisement no longer consists of those scientific things but seem rather convincing...
    If VShred doesn't work well to train lean muscles, what would you recommend?

    • @MotonoreDofus
      @MotonoreDofus Рік тому

      There is no magic secret to gain lean muscle mass. Basically you can take any half-decent structured program and as long as you
      - implement progressive overload
      -use proper lifting form and range of motion (You can check techniques videos on youtube, or ask to for a trainer at your gym to check your form)
      -go close enough to failure on each set (1-3 reps)
      - eat enough protein
      - sleep enough
      - are consistant in your effort.
      You will make progress and build some muscle. Advanced lifting techniques only start mattering when you've been lifting for a few years already

    Great video. The Vshred commercials are hilarious. He constantly states that you don't have to work out or do cardio, while every image is of a person lifting weights or doing cardio, including him. The simple fact of weight loss is that you MUST take in fewer calories than you burn. Period. That's it. The work outs will make you stronger or healthier, and burn additional calories if you want to expedite weight loss. Too many people want a magic fix.

    However, the shady thing I noticed is the "family friend named Kathy". The video you played is different than mine, so it wasn't tailored to the endomorph body type like mine was. In my video he mentioned a family friend named Kathy is an endomorph, and I briefly saw he talks about Kathy in this video as well. 🤔🤔🤔 It's true what they say; If it's sound too good to be true, it probably is.

Maybe I’ll find out that isn’t the ‘solid science’ the speaker said… Either way it’s such a shame they seek to exploit others suffering and hopes.

    Its NOT a scam. It just tells you almost the exact same thing as ALL the other programs. The only thing i followed (i would NEVER waste money on those supplements) is the "metabolic confusion", which really works for me, since carbs are my addiction. AND neither of the menus work for me to folo for the rest of my life. When you like to eat more than salads, egg whites, chicken and avocado toast. So still calorie counting.

    I was into it until he said you can eat junk food a couple times a week. It's one thing if you're on vacation or maybe once a week you can have a cheat day. But if you eat unhealthy all the time, then you could very well get diabetes, cholesterol and many other diseases. People lose the weight at different speeds and losing 1 to 3 pounds a week is healthy. But a lot of people want to see the results right away and it's not going to work that way. I do agree with him on the part where he says we all have different body types and that some diets are fads. But some of them are genuinely good diet where you can incorporate it into a lifestyle. Sometimes losing all the weight very fast could be bad and you can end up gaining it back. I rather do it the old-fashioned way which cost way less and in some cases, your health insurance even covers the cost gyms. I joined the YMCA gym with my health insurance. Although, it would be nice to have a personal trainer, just so my workout routines would be better because I feel like I need more guidance.

Commit to the personalised 1-1 if they make it sound more fancy) but you don’t need it and they don’t pressure you too either ) but the app I think is really good - they didn’t need to do all the crap x

However keto does work but being in a high chloestrol statin user I swayed off keto. The professor left me with some wise words were fad diets keto/atkins ect are not easy to preserve long term?
