I absolutely loved how real this was!! It's easy to get too consumed by a diet and not enjoy life as a result. I loved your message that you should have goals, work hard, and aim to be healthy but also practice forgiveness with yourself. Because what's life without a pizza with friends, a beer on the beach, or an ice cream cone on a summer day?!
ps this is my first comment ever on a youtube video! but just wanted to say thanks
John & Leon are so motivational & inspiring!
+J.J. Medusa 🙈 thank you
I honestly love this video! It is so inspiring. I was once so skinny and was so unhappy about how skinny I look. Not toned but skinny. I used to need to wear baggy clothes so that I look "bigger". So I decided to got to the gym a year ago and I am so happy that I decided to just go for it and be consistent. I learnt almost everything from body building websites and youtube videos, and some help from friends. And after a year, I feel so much healthier, so much more confident and I don't look "gaunt" anymore. It really changed how I feel about myself! It is crazy how much happier I am now! Start now if you're not happy about your body or your health! Keep going everyone! :)
Wow... I'm really happy Marcus decided to share this with us... Some of the things he said are quite private and the fact that he decided to share them inspires me a lot!
+Maria Colombi exactly why we were so happy to have him over here, he's been on a huge journey thus far 👌🏻
+TheLeanMachines He's been amazing... and also watching his and yours videos I've learnt so many things about healthy eating that I didn't know.... also I have a question.. I tried to eat avocado but I really hate it, is there anything I can replace it with?
I'm glad you talked about eating disorders in men! It's rarely talked about and often considered "shameful," but you handled it respectfully and intelligently, and that's really important. So thank you!
What a great video! I had an eating disorder for many years (anorexia and then bulimia). My weight has been way too low and also way too high. After much therapy I've been able to take control of my life and start eating right and exercising in a way that is good for me. I'm training to run my second marathon now and I feel healthier and stronger than ever!
Marcus looks so lovely in this video😍 ! Love his hair & super happy with how far he's come with his transformation 😇
This is exactly the video I needed to see today - went to the gym for the first time in a year and almost cried - you guys are so calm and together about providing solutions to problems that can feel really overwhelming. Thank you xx
Loved this video guys, so motivating hearing other peoples stories!
True ❤️
Ly guys sm ❤️
Love you guys!
+NikiNSammy cheers boys 💪🏻
It's honestly Sooooooo refreshing to hear a guy open up about becoming slightly obsessive over healthy eating... very glad to hear all of your views on a more balanced approach xxxx
+Mila Szczecina l know right! It's such an important topic as well
absolutely agree!
As someone who's been trying to improve her fitness for the past 6 months and is currently really struggling, I found this really inspiring. Gave me the drive and determination to keep at it. Cheers lads xoxox
Marcus's transformation: he died his hair 😂❤️
+Carla Smit 😂😂😂😂
well to be fair, hair does die after it's been bleached.
Shit. This really actually made me think about what I'm eating- or what I'm not. The guilt I associate with like fat and carbs does impact my life- especially the eating out with friends thing, that hit me very fucking hard. Shit.
This video is so great, thank you. Hearing what Marcus has gone through actually really helped me understand more about it all. In June 2015 I weighed 18 stone 3 pounds and by Christmas 2015 I weighed 12 stone 2 pounds. I remember noticing that Marcus had lost weight and actually it inspired me to do the same. Last June I stood on a weighing scales and I felt sick. So I started swimming every morning and I lost weight very quickly. I used to not go out with friends to eat and not eat anything but three meals a day. I used to be very strict and I would get very worked up if I missed a workout. Family members would come up to me every so often and tell me that I looked gaunt. Whenever I heard them say that I'd get very annoyed and just think they're being rude. But now I've calmed down quite a bit and I allow myself to have a treat every so often and if I miss a workout I just make sure to do one the next day. Right now, I'm very happy with what I've done so thank you Marcus.
Not going to lie, I've never really warmed to Marcus before, but he seemed so nice, mature and honest in this video. Really nice to hear his journey :) I like this type of video
+gemma johnston marcus is a great guy and close friend of ours and this video is a small reason why :) great to hear you liked this side to him 👍🏻
+TheLeanMachines yeah he seems like a smart and genuine guy. He definitely has a new fan in me now
I'm currently on a diet. 1500 Calories a day. Ive lost 1 stone 12 since April - works for me. Also go the gym daily.
Well done!!!
Thanks guys for being one of my inspirations, currently lost nearly 4 stone, got a bit to go but will get there! Proper changed my life xx
INCREDIBLE good job!
Could you please do a video on basic nutritional information. For example what carbs do, what protein does, what sugar does, fats, vitamins and just stuff like that. Also how much we need to have and why.
Good suggestion, hope the guys will do it :)
If they don't make a video you can look up online, I know because a close friend is personal trainer, also I looked up online
+Ujjaval Dhingra yep we can do that, we have a section on macros and how to calculate them in our book as well 👍🏻
I've struggled with being overweight for 10 years. This video was really motivating, thank you guys so much. I'm gonna start going to the gym next month and eat healthy, hopefully one day I'll inspire people the same way you guys do.
+yasyasyoa6 yes!! Good luck and thank u for your kind words
I just started my fitness journey about six weeks ago and this video was really inspiring and eye opening for me. A year ago I would never have believed someone who said that I'd be going to the gym five times a week a year from then and have stopped eating so much chocolate and cakes. But here I am. You guys inspire me in your videos everyday. To get fitter, healthier and most importantly happier! Thank you!
I am so relieved that I'm not the only one that went too far with training and especially food. Like you know that other people do but hearing it is just really calming. I think there needs to be so much more help to prevent people from neglecting food.
It was so refreshing seeing someone be so honest, I had noticed he looked very gaunt in some of his older videos. So to see him address it is a relief xx
why are they not shirtless
+Andy T 😂
What really gets me down his how long it'll take to get any results. I'm not sure I could stay dedicated for years and years if it takes that long to get results. Diets also feels really difficult to keep as I don't cook for myself.
+Alex Jones results don't take that long to see, it comes down to consistency and finding an activity you enjoy, this will help you stay motivated
TheLeanMachines You're probably right. But it's kinda hard for me to see myself finding something to keep me motivated. I've never been much for sports.
Gym long term is not for everyone, make or find a suitable plan online that suits your ability level and stick to it for 6-8 wks. Only take time off if you're ill, if you just don't feel it on the day, go along to the gym and give it a go anyway
You might find it clicks with you or you might find that it doesn't, just try and give it a good shot
Hope you can join me and the hundreds of thousands of others for the long term fitness journey!
+Richard Handler Considering I've never trained ever in my life my ability level is probably really low. I'm struggling with motivation on a daily basis.
+Alex Jones Low ability or not, we all started as beginners with limited knowledge! If you can find a partner to train with that could be beneficial as you have someone to assist you along the way. If they're a beginner, they can start exploring with you and if they're more advanced they can show you the techniques and help motivate you
If you don't have access to a partner, it can be hard to be self motivated but it is definitely doable. I started out alone and the thing that helped me the most was setting out goals and reasons why I wanted to start. I set a realistic weight gain goal and noted down my progress as I saw it. I started as I was too skinny and I wanted to fill out and seeing the results kept me motivated - it became so much more than something I did just to see gains, I found enjoyment and happiness in the gym.
Gains aren't too hard to come by, especially if you're just starting out, you'll get newbie gains within maybe 4 weeks and that can be the spur you need to keep it going
Let me know how it goes if you decide to pursue it!
I just started weight lifting again. I stopped for awhile but I forgot how good it feels after every workout.
+Veronica Lopez yeee 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
It's so nice to see Marcus like this again. I used to LOVE the daily vlogs he did and seeing some of his fitness and nutrition. Now nothing. Marcus please bring it back! Brilliant video guys as always!
+Sarah Smith he's a top guy
+TheLeanMachines I know, I miss his content that's real. However I appreciate he didn't want to do it anymore but he has always come across as a real down to earth person. I'm 28 so the more jokey content isn't my thing I'm sorry! 🙈
I'm so happy for Marcus and his amazing body transformation!! His story is so inspiring, and he doesn't tend to talk about it on his own channels. And I love how on MasterChef Marcus stuck with his healthy food and he's proud to be him and talks about it all so openly
All 3 of you are so motivating! Literally the best motivational video ever! Love you xxx
I'm a footballer at Chelsea and this video made me realise how important it is to train in the gym to benefit your life rather than doing it cause you have to, I've had the mindset for the past year or so that I have to go to the gym and do these things and it's meant that I didn't enjoy the training side of things much at all but now I've found a new love for weight training and training hard to benefit me rather than just cause I have to. I guess it's cause I understand that training is a choice and if I want to work hard than I'll get a lot better results than if I force myself to. Thanks lads
Last time I was this early Britain was still in the EU
I've heard this about 10000000 times and it's still not funny
+WOODSY it doesn't really even make sense...
we are still in the EU !
+Sizzle Tube yes we are 😋 the process won't start until we have a PM who triggers article 50 from then on it'll take 2 years. Cameron has already said he won't do this and is therefore resigning.
I was in a really bad place and this video has made me feel really motivated and inspired, so glad I clicked
+bhavisha_ s BOOM! That's awesome.
Thank you for making this video and thank you to Marcus for being so honest especially when he talked about the struggles he went through. It shows courage and strength. It's something I've battled with but is not often discussed in the health and fitness world as much as it should be.
Keep doing great things boys.
+Nafisah Atcha thanks so much
I bloody love your approach to fitness and a 'healthy' diet. Thank you for mentioning over-obsession and eating disorders as well. It's so important to educate people on these things - I learned the hard way that a fitness journey is not always a journey upwards and that it can come with certain problems.
Wish I could have the two of you as my personal trainers!
these type of videos motivate me to make me stronger in what I do...I've been at the gym for 1 week now(I'm 15) and I can already start seeing the changes...let's keep on guys you are awesome!
+Josh Haggett yeeee!!!! Great work Josh
This was great hearing this journey. Need more narratives that are full and honest for people to hear.
I loved this. About 2 months ago I realised I had got to the same place Marcus had, from constant exercise in everyday life to fucking nothing. So far it has been constant learning, I have done my best to change my diet where I can (fussy eater, trying to find new foods I like is so bloody hard) and exercise where I can. I started jogging and really began to enjoy it and saw differences, but my knees are just not having it. They were bad throughout my early teenage years and I can't decide whether to strengthen my legs (like I did before with trampolining) and keep going or stop and find another way. I also just got a full time job and have been moving more and eating less because I'm filling my days which has to have helped.
The main difference I've seen is that I now fit in a size S tshirt (so now I own from S - XL which is odd) and my favourite fucking jeans are now too big, and I went down a belt buckle size thing, but nothing I can see physically yet.
+Teela Louise wow Teela you sound like you're really getting into your stride, that's amazing! Keep up the great work
TheLeanMachines thanks guys :)
Great video! Specially liked the part where you guys talked about 'taking it too far'. I've recently lost a lot of weight and more recently I've been finding it really challenging giving myself a break and not worrying too much about calories and macros! Thanks a lot for the support :)
I always thought it really was a girl thing to be completely obsessed over healthy food, it's very interesting to see how it can be like that for guys too
I agree
Obsess? You are quite dumb then aren't you? This is not obsessive. HUMANS need to eat healthy and exercise. Gender is irrelevant.
Jindi Days Of course we obsess. The medias body imagine for men is just as demanding as the women's. Wake up a little ay
Jindi Days I mean I really think his ex girlfriend Naomi had a huge effect on his diet
This video was so interesting!
So nice to hear a male's perspective of issues I have dealt with too. Great video!
Nice to see Marcus on your channel! :)
+J.J. Medusa it was good to have our boy on here 👍🏻
love this video. thanks for all the effort you guys put into these videos. think leon and john are two of the loveliest guys on youtube, so humble and genuinely seem really pleasant. wishing you guys all the best with your channel and your business 😊
Love these videos they really motivate me and make me want to change my lifestyle!! Thanks boys xx
That's what we're here for
Nice to hang with Marcus +TheLeanMachines
I'd love a video about binge eating :) It would be really useful. Anyone else?
Yes that would help a lot of people-including me 😊
+Natasha Savidis and me!
Really good to hear. I've been trying to get back into fitness again, running and HIIT sessions to begin with but I've also been cutting back on the sweets and snacking. I don't know if I look that different right now but I do feel better for it
Love things like this, currently having a dip in motivation but can always rely on these videos to pick me back up
Really loved to see Marcus's transformation. Great video!
i desperately want to lose weight and become healthier but i just can't. every time i try i fall right back to square one. i'm so frustrated.
Me too :(
Same
have u tried juicing? try looking at the juice master online
+Issy Taylor will do😊 ty
Same... 😭🔫
Please could you make a review on the insanity programme? I'm in the process of doing it and I'm almost a month in. It's extremely tough and most of the time I feel like giving up but I try to carry on and I want to know whether it's a good thing to do and if it'll help or not. I have seen a difference since I started but I would really like to know more about it. Thanks 😄 love the video too!
This has really inspired me in the sense that I don't have to have no carbs or sugar at all! Subscribed and came from Marcus!
Been waiting for this video! Didn't disappoint guys. Hope you're enjoying LA! 👍🏻
Thank you so much for sharing and it's so great to spread more awareness of having that healthy balance of eating well, but not restricting yourself to the point where you start to compromise your mental health and happiness. It's something I struggle with and something i'm sure that many people struggle with and it's only now that i've started to not be scared of carbs! So thank you and I will definitely go and buy your book!! :)
That was so interesting to watch. Marcus' journey is really eventful.
Please can you do more videos like these, I like hearing other people's transformation stories! 😊
+Maisey Wick lm sure we can do that
loved this video! loved how real it was and how important the message is to just live your life and not get so into calorie counting and not enjoying food
This has made the difference, thank you guys
This is my favorite video by you so far!!
I defenitly can relate to Marcus about his body transformation except I'm an 18 year old girl but I started working out and changing my diet 3 years ago after being chuuby all my life. I became obsessed with it, started to overtrain and became an anorexic last year. I'm still recovering from it but like they said I still don't allow myself eating like anybody in a restaurant. Recovering from an eating disorder is a much slower process than losing weight !
No never cut out the carbs!! High carb low fat all the way :)
Intermittent fasting all the way
+Ivan Lopez Wow that's so unhealthy!!!! You fuck up your metabolism and health. Eating so little calories and than eating more calories isn't something you can keep doing you whoke life, eventually you will feel like a failure because this diet can't keep you skinny/healthy your whole life.
+SofieBollenn I've been doing it for 3 months and it has helped a lot when trying to lose weight without giving up on my favorite meals. Look up Kinobody and you'll see that intermittent fasting is fucking awesome.
+Ivan Lopez Oh I know him and I hate him. But hey, if this works for you great
Not the best for men
Hey guys! One of your books is now flying to Argentina, hope I can stay motivate in this health journey... Great video!
Pls do more of these, loved it! Maybe more women transformations- viviannadoesmakeup?
Inspired me to start working out again. Thanks for the inspiration👍🏼
+Jewell Murphy yayy!! Good luck, you're going to be awesome
I was literally obsessed wt John's Baseball tee the whole video! Lol
Loved this, very inspirational and found I got more info in this vid than most! Thanks guys, it has really driven me to get more involved in the foods I eat and the training I do.
really good transformation
Very inspiring, thanks guys ☺️
Dedication, motivation and times is what i lacking at. I 58 kg but i have a belly fat and excess skin. I used to weight around 80 kg and lost 22 kg in 2 year due to my "smoking diet" and not carb diet. Now i starting to gain back some weight and need help. This is surely motivating but i need guidance . Thank John and Leon
Absolutely loved this video! So inspiring!! 💪🏼
Really interesting video! I've been through the same phases with my exercise - became really obsessive but I am now at a good point where I enjoy it and have a good balance!
LOVED THIS, so informational. I just got into the gym and its great to hear stories like this.
+n.m good luck on your journey 💪🏻💪🏻
I love this video both John & Leon and Marcus are so inspiring 😎
Should make this into a series
What an inspiration! Marcus looks banging and these videos definitely help as a weight loss boost! xo
So excited for this video
This has taught me so much ! I've wanted to change myself for ages but I had no clue? Thankyou for this guy's it has helped me so much😅
So inspiring guys!
Is that guy on the left related to Jim Chapman?
Yes, John is his twin brother😄
Mara Bossmann
ARE YOU FOR REAL??
How was this not immediately obvious to me??
Yes they are twins.
They are identical twins
No they are fraternal... Obviously they don't look identical
I really want to start changing my lifestyle for the better. I graduated from uni a year ago and still find myself reverting back to bad eating habits and I no longer have the sports clubs I attended while I was there to fall back on. I find the whole process very intimidating from where I'm standing at the moment but this video was really interesting to watch, and very informative. Thanks lads. :)
+Jennifer Collins thank you for sharing your comment Jennifer and we're glad this video helped. We're sure you can do anything you want to for sure :)
+TheLeanMachines Thanks for replying! :) I think you're right, I just need to give myself the kick up the bum to get going and start this journey!!
I imagine this was more inspiring than most of the actual live sessions at VidCon. Fantastic achievement, Marcus.
Loved this! Such a great video
this was such a helpful video 👍🏻 thank you guys!!!!
Wow I didn't know Marcus had a similar situation to mine. I was athletic my whole life, stopped in highschool and ate the same I did when I was younger and now I'm trying to "fix" myself. Great video guys! :D
+Barbara Lang thank you for sharing Barbara
amazing vid. subscribed.
thanks for all the advice you give. THUMPS UP.
Love this. Good work guys
Do a body transformation with Niomi Smart
Thanks guys!
First of all, this guy is HOT!!!! 😍😍 Rawr. Secondly, this is personally one of the most motivational videos I've seen on your channel. I'm in the same place now as he was when he began. It's good to hear about someone's journey and transition and this makes it sound do-able. I've made some small goals and am stoked to get started on my journey. Thanks so much!
great video lads, its ss inspiring to see people talking about their transformation x
+Eimhear Mcgill that's great to hear that you enjoyed it
+TheLeanMachines 🎉🎉
Love this video guys helped me think about my life style a bit more....
Marcus' eyes are like slanted downwards I can't
This was great you guys! Going to buy your book for my hubby.
+Alexis Becker aww thank you Alexis
this is very nice. it's a good way of looking at diets. keep it in moderation
Marcus should definitely start doing food and fitness videos!
+gemma s l think he does have a foodie and health type strand on his moremarcus channel. But he should defo do more ;)
Why do you all three have such beautiful eyes? Like really, I spent part of the video staring!
Really find these videos so inspiring!
+Chloe Reading same for us chloe
Actually so inspired
You should do one of these videos for joe sugg!!
Marcus' story is literally the same as mine but I lost all the weight myself and got a personal trainer in January when I released I was losing too much weight
Great video guys👌from Ireland🍀😊
