Alternatively, you've figured out how to defy the laws of thermodynamics, and there are scientists out there who would be very interested in studying you.
You actually pronounced her name really well :) I started working with a PT and she put me on a 1300 calorie diet. It completely messed up my relationship with food, I lost my period and started binge eating. She made me feel like I was weak for not being able to keep up with the diet🙃I'm currently working on eating more and not stressing about gaining weight. Love your videos!
8:02 So true! When I'm bulking, I feel good about my glutes and my ability to set PRs, but feel self-conscious about my belly fat, but when I'm cutting, I like my slimmer and more defined appearance, but miss my glute size.

Love your content as always! I would also love longer videos with more snippets from the person to whom you are reviewing. I was anorexic as a teenager and I understand how hard it is to wrap your head around gaining weight. There is such an enormous psychological component that can stay with you forever and you DO have to make peace with it. I am 58 now and was a personal trainer and fitness instructor for 28 years and became a Respiratory Therapist at 50 years old. I realized that all those years at the gym were actually enforcing the eating disorder mindset. It is ironic that we can CHOSE to eat or not eat and have the privilege and ability to do so and yet so much of the world struggles to find clean water and appropriate food sources. It is refreshing that this model spoke so openly and honestly about these issues. Hope you are healing and as always, I look forward to your videos!!
My main concern about her video is that for years she’s been showing her meals and no gluten, no sugar, vegan, flexitarian and all these trends and now she comes up with this… i don’t know how I feel about her message throughout the years and now changing her view on weight and health overall…
Thank you for everything you do, Harry. Your content has done WONDERS for my fitness and mental health. I cannot thank you enough, it’s not an exaggeration when I say that you’ve changed my life!❤️
I have struggled with irregular periods over the years. It started in high school and still affects me today. I’m a very highly anxious person, so it’s not hard to guess that I’m often pretty stressed out. I’m positive that’s had a huge impact on my periods, as I’ve been doing work to heal and it’s been coming back more regularly, thankfully. Low body fat percentage likely had something to do with it as well, I was TINY in high school. I was a pretty late bloomer anyway, and I was extremely active, as working out was a comfort place for me. As I’ve gained weight/filled out, that’s likely helped with getting it back along with my mental health work. It’s WILD how much that all interconnects!
What you said from 6:54 is so, SO true. If I could clip that and have it play on my phone every time I wake up I would. It's so frustrating that I still have those days where I look at myself and am just not happy with what I see, and I think about how I looked when I was 20 pounds lighter. My strength and overall progress in the gym has improved so much, but somehow my self-image is still the same :\ It's honestly thanks to you that I've realised that the reason why it feels like my body image hasn't improved is I'm dealing with something that's been ingrained in my subconscious since I was a child. That's like a lifetime of crap that I have to unpack and let go. And again, thanks to you I've become a lot kinder to myself whenever I have these slumps. You really are a positive influence in this space, Harry.
thank you harry! i broke my hand at the end of august so i had to stop exercising.. after my surgery i started doing some leg workouts but i was very very less active than i was before. Yesterday i got my period back after 4-5 months!! (yey) well i had a very lean body, i exercised 4x a week for 1.5-2 hours and i drove my bike every day and in addition i’m doing nurse school and worked for 8 weeks in a hospital. i lost more weight there because i underestimated how much i should actually eat but now i know!! i have also bpd and while i love gym i also use food and exercise to cope with my emotions and my second thought was yesterday that i became fat (ik it’s not true i’m actually on the edge of being underweight) but it was a lot stress for my body i guess i will gain weight and remember your words, i want to be strong at work and in the gym!!!! thank you so much edit: sorry for my bad english
I REALLY love this video. So many things I connect with. I got a bit emotional when you talked about the good things about gaining weight, and validated the mental gymnastics when it comes to gaining weight. For the past year or so, I have done a deficit, and it’s been good, and what I needed at the time. Now I’m finding myself in a place where I have a hard time moving on from it, even though I may be at a good spot to switch to muscle building; because I have a hard time letting go. I’ve done the deficit for so long, that it almost feels incorrect to not do it anymore, because my goals for so long was to lose weight. Not to mention that I also struggle with body dysmorphia, so I have those spots of my body that I feel like aren’t good enough yet, and I feel like I have to keep losing weight to get there. For example, feeling like I’m not “lean enough” to muscle build, like I don’t deserve it yet, somehow. I can create all these reasons why I’m scared of moving on from my deficit. But, as time goes on I’m able to see that maybe it’s okay to move on, and perhaps I’ll even be able to progress my goals by moving on, even though it feels scary. So, your discussion on how feeling fear about gaining weight was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you, as always ❤️ it certainly won’t be the last time I struggle with this, but your encouraging words help me be a little more brave and confident ❤️
This was helpful because I want to transition at some point from bikini bodybuilding to wellness which I know requires a lot of food and being uncomfortable but the end goal is important for what I eventually want to achieve. Thanks for the great video and opinions it really did help me ease some anxiety.
Oof! Around 7 minutes really hit home. I've gained weight since recovering from an eating disorder and now I lift weights (with Ryder as my trainer actually!), run and am in much better physical condition. But it's still a bit of a mindfuck and when I notice my clothes being tighter I feel sort of grief almost? Even though when I looked more traditionally lithe and feminine I felt terrible. It's hard to let go of that sometimes.
I appreciate this a lot but its sad to say that it does not come across in my head. i gain weight easily and so I cant really relax my way around food. For me to achieve a normal weight i have to be careful all the time. 😅😢

Or you got cancer
some diseases can lead to inability to gain weight though... so I'd be more careful with this statement

Girl me too, why do we have to choose between the waist and the wagon 😂

Agreed! She's a role model to many, even though she's so unhealthy she didn't even have periods for a decade and "can't" gain weight

All of your comments are very well said.
@@austinhenshaw2140 thanks, Austin :)
Thank you for this. It has really helped. I’m too often down on myself for not being “on it” all the time. Long term goals….

Hey Hairy!!! Why don’t you do a health & fitness q&a haven’t seen this for a while 😄
Short term sacrifice for long term gain was such a great point
I am trying out a reverse diet & going from 1200 to 1400 is sometimes so difficult for me. I feel so full!
It's called amenorrhea. Main causes low body fat.
When I gain weight, even if I know its just water weight, it really brings me down. Something I really need to work on

Very good stuff!! Weight is so tricky, isn't it?

Woah, idk why i was so surprised to hear how few men watch your content, but i was!
I'm looking at gaining some muscle bulk and strength. Would I need to bulk and cut? (33F). Love your content! Xx
Too big, too strong, too smart.
You x
