- Linda Sun is a content creator and Gymshark athlete that has been questioned many times regarding her message and her relationship with food. A few people sent me her video questioning whether I thought discussions of transformations to any degree can be problematic, which presented me with a great opportunity to expand on this topic and express that one should be careful when comparing their journey with the journey of influencers online...

Linda Sun's Transformation is PROBLEMATIC?!
#TeamForNeverLean #Fitness #LindaSun
How do you feel about transformations posted online?
Helps a bit when you ( or at least me) need motivation, or even info on some stuff if you don't have access to a personal trainer & things like that. But it's necessary to be aware that everyone's body works differently, and that there is the possibility of cosmetic procedures, enhancers, photoshop...
And yet sometimes I feel bad seeing them because I have depression & other health issues that leave me incapacitated somewhat often, so I am going through things slowly. Since I'm 25, I feel like I should hurry. And I have made plenty of progress (lost 5~7kg I gained on the pandemic), but haven't met some goals I've made for myself.
That's my view on the topic.
I personally do not mind them IF it seems to me that the individual has made improvement over a reasonable time period and isn't trying to suggest that everything they've done will work for others. I'm generally pretty good about not comparing the progress and aesthetics of my body to others, because I realize my body, goals, and methodology are different from theirs. HOWEVER, it's taken me a long time to get a to a place where I don't compare, and I have definitely given into "transformation" programs in the past that I never ended up sticking with. The only instances when I have reached substantial improvement in my body goals are when I was part of athletic teams and actively playing sports OR when I decided for my OWN enjoyment what I was doing to exercise and improve my physicality. I always look my best and stay most consistent when I'm doing something that brings me joy and let's me have fun.
I think they are a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand, seeing positive results for someone else can motivate one and instill belief that transformation is possible for oneself to improve their health. As you point out, comparisons to others may set unrealistic individual expectations and may affect one's core values creating greater issues on overall health balance.
I think this is where channels like yours, and a support system of friends, family, community is beneficial to help maintain perspective in one's journey to a healthier place.
It seems like social media is obsessed with transformations (mental or physical - becoming stronger, thinner, fatter, more eco, more minimal, more thoughtful... it's all about being better, better better). I'm sure it could be inspiring for some. I think the problem comes with it sets up this paradigm about a successful/happy life is achieved through constant measurable improvements (measurable being something you can show in a story online etc etc). In truth I think life is more complicated than that. First of all, we can't always be improving in the ways deemed socially acceptable or trendy. Second, we shouldn't be. Sometimes it is helpful to revisit the past and relearn from it. Regression shouldn't be considered failure. So I generally prefer content that is about establishing a "process" over a "product". So no "what I eat in a day"+ thumbnail abs/bikini shots. Lifestyle and transformation videos are only helpful in my opinion if they convey a sustainable/realistic message that admits to its limitations--not a highlight reel, or victory lap, or informercial.
Usually, I feel proud. Some are questionable
I used to really like Linda but then I realized that she says the exact same thing in every video and has some really bad body image issues she should be working on off camera. It’s super off putting as someone in ED recovery…
I hope you're okay
Yeah I watched around 5 of her videos but couldn’t go further because it’s literally the same thing every single video.
Linda's videos are the definition of talking so much yet saying so little
I’m 99.9% sure at this point that she says the same thing in every video, she just words it differently and most of her viewers don’t notice because they’re young. I saw through it in about 3 videos….I’m like have I already watched this?
@@alexaparkinson7465 omg same. I stopped watching her videos bc she would always say the same
True. I personally also really get annoyed by the rasp? (I don't know what it's called) in her voice. It's very typical American I noticed, not everyone has it, but in general if someone does talk with a constant rasp, it really bothers me so much 😅
@@MariaD.L. Linda's Canadian, but I know what you mean by the raspy, low voice.
@@Lollypop1226 yesss
I don’t have any issue with Linda’s transformation. What irritated me about her video is that it seemed to me to highlight some deception in her videos. She mentioned in this video that her eating/drinking/sleep/fitness/and emotion regulation has been out of balance for some time and it’s made her progressively unhappy with how she feels and looks. Yet, her previous videos seem to be glorifying that lifestyle.
The more you watch of her the more you notice how hypocritical/shallow her message is…she constantly talks down on herself but then in the same breath she mentions wanting to find self love..?
@@alexaparkinson7465 THIS^^^^!! The vicious cycle continues…
THISSS! It confused me sooo much!
Agree, you’re spot on
Yes she seems to be putting out contradictory messages and it seems to go round in circles, it seems like it's essentially always the same.. it always seems to be something along the lines of "i gained weight, i'm struggling a bit with the fact that I put on weight but accept it and try to love myself as I am don't need to change because all bodies are worthy and our bodies do not determine our worth", but then it's like "oh, wait, no actually I wasn't fine with the weight gain even though I pretended to be and I feel so frustrated about the weight gain etc. and here is how I am dealing with it".
To me it seems like she still is struggling with eating and she seems to be sooo hyperfocused on food and everything to do with it like food is the most important thing in her life.
I really enjoyed her videos at first back in 2020 but had to unsubscribe because
1) she seems to be churning out contradictory content and it's always the same..
2) I think her thumbnails and video titles are often somewhat problematic and misleading...
I used to be subscribed to her but I had to stop watching her because her hyperfixation on her body and food and her constant flip-flopping between complete body acceptance and then this transformation’ crap was really setting me back in my own journey.
Obviously each person’s goal and journey is different but I just can’t follow her anymore. I wish her all the best.
Gotta do what's best for you!
Can’t say any more than it was absolutely the same thing for me! After a while opened her channel today just to see how she’s doing. Still a bit triggering though. You know her personality pretty much makes me want to see content about her life, vlogs and everything. But when it’s all about food and exercise it’s apparently obsessive
It stresses you out.
I used to like her content when I first found it, but now I get bored. All videos tend to be the same, aesthetic food shots and inspirational quotes.
She did talk about a book I ended up reading and it was really really good.
Yes! The y are all the same video.
Basically after you watch one, you've seen them all
Ooo what book? Need some reading material
@@jadamay9264 the mountain is you by Brianna Wiest
I get this!
I think it's really important to talk about socioeconomic status/class in discussions of some of these influencers, and the impact they have on their audience. I was immediately alienated from Linda Sun bc it's clear she is a young student living at home and being supported by an obviously wealthy family. That goes leaps and bounds to enabling you to work out multiple times a day; being able to work out comfortably with space and adequate equipment (I saw they have a whole room covered in fitness mats?); and being able to afford ample groceries (healthy AND indulgent) and takeout.
When I was an eating disordered 20 year old I was a student living in a flatshare, working part time to afford groceries, utilities and fuel. There was never one moment where I could live in any way like she does in her videos, even her early ones before she was making as much money from sponsors.
In my opinion, that's a huge factor in how her message and brand is perceived by her audience (primarily young people, often with EDs). Her inspirational messages about honouring your body and hunger is part of a toxic cycle fuelled by social media - but even then, even if you take her message of positivity at face value, when it's coupled with videos of a life that is inaccessible for so much of her audience, what effect does that have? You can say it's not meant to be for everyone, but the disordered young people being shown this image of Linda's life can be inspired to emulate her - and when *they* eat cake every night to honour their hunger, and *they* don't have a spare 2-3 hours in their day to work out twice, and they don't see weight loss or a stronger feeling body themselves... that's promoting another cycle right there for potentially vulnerable people.
Finally! I kept thinking about how socioeconomic status is so overlooked when talking about fitness influencers, and just as with Linda, i caught myself seeing other people ando thinking "But how could I do that?"
I can't really put it into words because English isn't (clearly) My mothertongue, but thank u so much for saying it!
I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one who think like this... Her family is wealthy and supportive... Her environment is comfortable..
I'm one of Linda's follower, and i dont see things in this way... her videos are conforting for me. I have eating disorders, and it doesn t trigger me or give me a wrong opinion about what i can eat. Earing Linda just makes me feel calm
THIS!
The socioeconomic topic us hardly being talked about when it comes to fitness/healthy living. And it should be talked about often.
As someone who lives in a developing country, access to certain health food is limited as well as housing. I live with two relatives because it's cheaper, but the bedrooms in the house have limited space so I end up working out in my bedroom all the time, but the space isn't that enough to put a workout mat. Not to mention my relatives chide me for eating healthy, saying if I'm trying to starve myself. So many factors at play.
@@ewi3504 bcz you are in the love blinded phase... You will get there and understand what we were talking about....
Can we all just agree not to jump into lunges with dumbbells? I physically felt my knees blow out just watching that.
or jumping exercise in general unless you're training as an athlete.
Ooh yes same… I have an old knee injury and jumping with any dumbbells issa no for me
@@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel I think that's a bit of a misdirection. Are you crossing off box jumps, squat jumps, switch lunges, etc? Plenty of people are athletic while not being actual athletes. What matters is knowing what your body is currently capable and how to safely work your way up to a higher level, if you want to. It looked like those weights were far too heavy for her, especially for her exhaustion
I certainly won't be jumping!
I always feel lunges and split squats in my glutes ...but leg extension blows out my knees.
I don’t like Linda’s videos because they are too edited. Although I like most of the messages she shares, her videos are like looking at an Instagram feed: she goes out, eat foods that would make my grocery bill got through the roof, lots of take out, etc., but then talk about her struggles. She has that rich kid life (my own opinion) who needs to seek more professional help instead of making videos (again, my opinion).
In general, her videos don’t make me feel good, so I don’t watch them, just like I don’t go on Instagram anymore.
100% belongs in therapy instead of on the internet
Ohh for sure
Gotta watch content that enhances your life!
I feel like the fact that she's made a video that says she was miserable, binge eating for emotional comfort, hated her body and was over exercising just throws all of her other videos in a bad light. If you look at the titles of her videos it's like "I gained weight and I love it!" "Eating everything I want" "birthday cheat meals" "why I gained weight and I love it" and in these videos she'll talk about how she's honouring her hunger and living her best life and loving her body. And it's so obviously a lie, and her latest videos are about how her relationship with food is terrible, she's binge eating, she's binge drinking, she hates her body.
You know what I think. She is just a messed up rich kid. 😒
Transformations can be toxic in that it's a "problem solved" instead of "ongoing progress" because keeping weight off/on or staying fit is an ongoing thing that ebbs and flows. Also social media is so highly manipulated that it's hard to trust what you see and read. I will definitely be a fan of sleep - if I am short on sleep I crave empty carbs in a serious way. So the more sleep, the better I eat. Thank you for being so encouraging Harry! 👍👍
Totally - starting out this year my goal was to achieve a "transformation" for a specific event. Instead of achieving that goal, I instead realized that this is going to take a lot longer and it's a lot healthier to see it as a journey and to focus on mindset and sustainable habits over a singular goal.
@@Chocolatepuppy21 Awesome! That's a healthy perspective!
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
REPENT OF YOUR SINS Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
Dont be so pathetic
Wise words! I appreciate you
Just wanted to thank you again for your videos.
I’m one of the 10% men in your audience, and you’ve made me realise that I’ve been poisoned by the toxic body builder community. My way of thinking has turned from what I feel is enjoyable and good to chasing the perfect body, macros, split, cardio routine and so on. You made me rethink my mindset, I will forever be grateful to Greg, Tennyson, and athleanX for getting me started on my fitness journey, but I think I’m ready to progressively overload to a more self loving and intuitive fitness routine. Thank you again❤️
I got caught in that trap for a while also and i didnt even realize theres a whole world outside of that but im waking up :)
You sir, are a bloody king and I thank YOU!
The only transformation posts I appreciate honestly are the ones where there are YEARS between the before and after. I dislike short term transformation posts because what took six months to achieve can be undone in one month, not to mention all the tricks people use to make the pictures look different. Show me the years of hard work you put into getting your body to where it is now and the years of successfully keeping it there because you changed your lifestyle, not just your diet or exercise regime for a few months. If someone wants to post their 90 day transformation or whatever, that's fine. You're proud of yourself, that's great. But what inspires me is people who have put in the years of work and consistency, because that's the part that's so freaking hard.
Yes! I've been working out consistently and slowly encorporating healthier lifestyle changes over the last 2 years and I'm finally seeing the results I want to see (as far as significant glute growth). I don't have an "end goal" I'm just continually working, learning and trying to do better. Health isn't a destination, corny, but true. I used to think that way but there's always progress to be made. And most importantly I'm happy and proud of myself, I didn't approach it with a quick fix or anything like that, I was consistent, but also reasonable.
@@laurenw.3656 Good for you! 👏👏👏 that's awesome.
I've been on a 7 year journey of working out off and on between having babies, but only in the past two years since my youngest was born have I really been able to get more focused on trying to get healthy. I have a lot of weight to lose and 4 kids to take care of now so the process is very slow but I've seen things here and there that show me I'm making progress. But it's really hard when you've been at it for years and are only just beginning to see differences while people do drastic things to get big changes in a short amount of time and post all about it online. I constantly have to remind myself that small, consistent daily changes add up to big differences over time and I just need to be patient and keep moving forward. Like you said, health isn't a destination! I'll be on this journey the rest of my life.
yes,yes,yes,yes
I respect this :)
"Progress is never linear", oh my god, Harry. I really needed that today, thank you so much. I haven't worked out for months now, but I'm slowly starting to ease into it again. You're always such an inspiration, and I greatly admire everything that you do. Thank you!

You're smashing it
Linda is in a vicious cycle. She loves herself and enjoys her body being bigger and then the next video is her crying and hating herself and she ping pongs between those two emotions.
She's young and I feel bad for her but....there's some responsibility that comes with the content she puts out that could cause another young person to get into the same cycle

As a non-native English speaker, I have to say that I love the word "stupendous". I don't think I have ever heard anyone using it as much (or even at all)
Haha, thank you :)
She was talking about having a difficult time lately in her transformation video, how she was waking up hungover and feeling terrible...but in videos from the time period she's referencing, she was gushing about how great she felt and how far she's come etc. The problem is her lack of honesty. She's so busy curating a certain image and to make ad money online that she just says whatever she thinks her fans want to hear. Sucks because I really used to like her videos.
When I say that it took me more than 30 years to learn not to compare my journey, my body, my transformation to others’, I am not exaggerating. I’m severely grateful to all the influences (not influencers, to be clear) in my life that allowed me to reach that point - and this channel is one of those.
My appreciation and respect for you increases by the day, sir. I thank you
She’s in a toxic cycle. What she promotes is not what fitness is about .I’m glad people are starting to see that ! She’s very contradicting and makes no sense. No hate on her if that’s how she wants to live but it’s not okay to be influencing people to think this is normal or okay. Or to think this is what being fit and healthy should look like.
i feel like her takes on her transformation doesn't align with her thumbnails. kinda contradicting, and click-batey
If I had a penny for every time I hear the word “journey” from fitness channels these days…. I’d have a lot of pennies
Linda Sun has the most unformed and inconsistent positions about nutrition and exercise I've ever seen on UA-cam. I had to unfollow when it was clear that she's a simply a clever, yet confused young girl with an overwhelming need for approval.
In my opinion she's just an overeater who cloaks her eating habits with a bunch of profound sounding (albeit actually shallow) commentary which is more or less the same talking points from video to video, while constantly over-exercising to compensate for her overeating. After a couple of views, I started watching her videos with sound off just for the recipes, but then I decided to unfollow altogether when I realized I was getting virtually no added value from time spent viewing.
Nice girl, I am sure, but she needs a ton of mental development and time to form proper opinions before actually "influencing".
As someone who had anorexia, I’ve been putting off watching this video just to be safe. I finally watched it today and I love how you approached the topic of the video. It felt very informative yet genuine. I’m at a healthy weight now and have been maintaining it for a while, but sometimes the thoughts n habits come back. It’s something I work on everyday. Your reassurance/encouragement was absolutely delightful and I can’t thank you enough for the content you make.
I'm proud of you and I very much appreciate you
I appreciate Linda as a content creator for her storytelling capability and her meal inspiration but that’s pretty much it. I watched an interview with her where she commented at length about her issues with an eating/exercise disorder. Linda is still very young and I really worry that she’s just sort of oblivious to how much documenting her eating and lifestyle habits is feeding into her disorder and skewing her messages which often flip flop back and forth between wholistic and totally unnatural/curated eating and exercise to suit whatever phase of the disorder she’s experiencing at that moment. She’s got quite a lot of reach as a content creator so this kind of narrative can be quite harmful and clearly isn’t helping her develop a truly better relationship with her body.
All of her videos are literally the same thing. Like her eating peanut butter and oats pancakes, oatmeals, lunch, dinner, ice-cream, donuts and partying, drinking and working out way too hard and ranting about life🙃 all of her videos have almost the same thumbnails with different titles that make no sense. I get why she does that bcz I've been a subscriber when she only had 2 or 3 videos like those and she had some other videos on her channel which had way too less views. Those videos were about fashion and clothes but her food vidoes used to get more views. So she started posting about what she ate and how she worked out. All of her videos are basically "WHAT I EAT IN A WEEK" videos but with slightly different titles🙂 I never got benefited by them tbh. Her video titles are pretty annoying too. Like in one title she writes how she loves eating & working out and in another she writes how she's not enjoying food and working out. But all of those videos contain the same things. What she eats & how she works out nothing else🙃 her videos her basically "A week in her life" but heavily edited🤧 I just wanted to write how I felt about her vidoes no hate to her at all. I'm still subscribed to her channel but don't watch the videos bcz they are not useful at all rather it will make you feel poor and weird in different ways🤧
“It will make you feel poor and weird in different ways.” This sums it up exactly. The videos are constantly swinging from one pole to another (happy, sad, loving yourself, hating yourself) and I’m not criticizing that as content alone…if Linda *really* experiences those emotions and is not just hamming it up for the camera, it sounds like literal symptoms of bipolar disorder, which is a serious mental health condition that needs treatment. Being moody in your teens and twenties is normal but having those SUPER high highs and low lows like she is portraying in her videos are often a sign that something is up.
To me it seems like Linda has a very unhealthy relationship with food even when she’s not restricting herself. It’s making me insanely uncomfortable to see and hear her getting overly excited because of food. The whole “ooooh, soooo good! Yummy!!” I mean I also enjoy eating a good meal (like probably most of us do) but with Linda it almost seems like she gets an extreme dopamine rush when eating. It could be just an act, I’m aware of that, but still. It’s definitely the reason why I stopped watching her videos.
Thank god I'm not the only one who thinks it's too much
It makes me feel uneasy and weird
Yes! The whole 'OMG!' when looking at a piece of cake or a slice of pizza is very off putting.
I just discovered your content and I love how positive and realistic you are. I'm getting back on my fitness journey post surgery and it really helps to see someone with such a refreshing, realistic approach.
I appreciate you
I really needed to hear that "I'm proud of you" even if you don't know what I'm going through. I appreciate you 😊
Your videos are always such a blessing. I don't know how exactly you accomplish that but everytime I am watching one of your videos I feel so much better... Much more understood. It's almost like a friend is talking to me. I can't thank you enough for the content you're putting out here because you've made a lot of my days a lot better... I am struggling at the moment because I am preparing for my finals and therefore can't really work towards my muscle building goals as I would like to. But this video was exactly what I needed to remind myself that I am on a lifelong journey and those three weeks won't decide about whether I will achieve my goals or not. This video was exactly what I needed right now. Thank you so much ❤️
I just dropping by to say that thank you for always been so gentle and positive in your messaging ☺️ I have anxiety and fitness is a big struggle for me so your videos feel like a warm hug when it comes to understanding that each person's journey is different
You're the best
It seems like she can't face her own mistakes and learn from them. This circle of dieting and binging is what her whole journey comes down to.
I struggled with the same thing, but what helped me is actually looking at my calorie counting app: all calories from my binge days could've been easily spreaded between normal days and make going through life much more bearable. Too strict of a diet makes you like that, but without fancy edits and youtube income
your words about the progress and taking baby steps applies so good to any field in life. for a moment I imagined that you're talking about a career path or education (which are my most painful spots right now) and I found the message so comforting. I will be surely getting back to this video from time to time to remind myself that I'm doing everything right :)
I'm always here if you need a friend
The chair is taking "ForNever Lean" seriously.
I resonate so much with what you're saying. I struggle with the guilt, even if I know the truth. But yesterday, it was raining. I didn't feel good. I had the day off. So I just allowed myself to relax. I watched Hulu. I made popcorn. I had chocolate and some *naughty* processed foods. I still planned to get a workout in and when I ran out of time to do so, I felt guilty for all of the food I consumed. But then I went to bed. I slept well. The soreness in my muscles from the previous workout was gone. I felt lighter and more prepared for today than I believe I would have been if I hadn't taken that day. I can still see my abs. I can still do pull ups. And I'm actually excited to do my workout today. I'm not going to "make up" for the workout I missed. I'm just going to accept that I needed this. Balance is hard and I'm still working on it, but it is vital to make any kind of progress.
Harry, thank you! Telling us to look back a year to track progress instead of looking ahead and being disappointed that we're not as far as we hoped to be from the present really resonated with me. You are a gem! ❤️
YOU are a gem
I really love the speedbump vs mountain metaphor! Definitely going to come back to that.
im really appreciating the fact that you're discussing more about food and eating disorders. these videos make me feel the most heard and, honestly, the advices you throw in here and there, have really been helping me with my eating
it probably sounds like im exaggerating but im really not
we appreciate and love you so much Harry💕💜💜
I subscribed for workout insights, and I got life lessons. You dont know how much I needed to hear that bit about journeys. Thanks man.
I've got you
I’m so glad that a couple of years ago I totally transformed the way I look at food and interact with it. I started focusing on my lifestyle and eating food that not only fuels my body but makes my life enjoyable and keeps my autoimmune disorders in check.
By transforming my eating to fit my lifestyle I started getting in better shape and even feeling better mentally.
Also I love transformations but I love seeing them when it’s lift change or mental changes.
Hi HARRY!!! Good to “see you”! And CONGRATULATIONS ON 50K!!
I’m so happy that you did a video on Linda’s video. I refuse to watch her videos anymore, I had to unsubscribe BUT for some reason YT recommended a few of her videos… you can see snippets of the videos with subtitles and I had I saw more than enough. Linda’s journey is exhausting, dizzying, and absolutely triggering. She’s a yo yoing mess and it’s a horrible reminder of my own ED days. I’m 25 weeks pregnant and still active but my eating is hit and miss. I’m watching my body change and can do absolutely nothing about it 😪😪😪. It’s discouraging.
I don’t see Linda stopping this vicious cycle that she is on. I don’t see how what she is doing is “inspirational”… there’s a lot of toxicity on the hamster wheel she’s on. Reminds me of Cassie from Blogilates. Trying to figure out what the take away is from her “journey” when she will do the same again…
Good to see you Harry. As always, you’re such a breath of fresh air
Totally agree. It's exhausting to watch her. What she puts out doesn't feel like authentic in any way. How many "breakthroughs" can one person have? Congratulations on your pregnancy!
yes. I am in ed recovery and used to think that she was "helping", but with all my sympathy to her videos, they are personally very triggering to me. She changes her mind about food and exercise VERY rapidly, you honestly can't keep with with her "eating what I want", but "wanted to lose weight", it is just too confusing. I had to unsubscribe for the sake of my own mental health..
I stopped watching her stuff when she put out the video about cutting her calories in half for a week. Before then, she was at first inspiring for feeling good about eating food you love and moving your body, but I started feeling a weird triggering with how hard she worked out and made me remember my times of food reward. Once she was doing an experiment with calorie restriction, I was off of that train so fast!! I'm not into that and was really disappointed.
"Do not compare you journey to that of somebody else’s." As someone who compares almost everything about myself to basically every other woman… that hit hard.
The hat is amazing 🧜🏼♀️ the guilt surrounding food is something that you have always addressed so well - it makes me angry when people ask what a ‘guilty pleasure good’ is for me as if a food I enjoy I have to be guilty about. Unless it’s drinking the blood of the innocent or eating the severed ears of unwilling participants I don’t think guilt should come along for the ride.
I’m sure a whole bunch of people are going to say it too but IM PROUD OF YOU for all the things and bits and bobs you do. You’re amazing. Absolutely amazing and a complete inspiration.
You never fail to make me smile, thank you
hello! i've recently discovered your youtube channel, and I have to say that your content is really amazing... I love how honest and respectful you are not only to your followers but to the people your talking about in your videos. I feel as though we need more transparency on the fitness community! I'll for sure watch more of your videos. Well done :)
Thank you so much
I dont' think her videos are targeted to me (the editing kinda too stimulating for me), but I feel like she sets her video as click 'bait' as in actually bait in people who should be watching it to hear a different and possibly better message than what they're actually looking for??
Hey I just found your channel, just started watching the video, only the way the channel is called is reason enough! Been watching too many fitness youtubers, feeling like I'm not doing enough if I don't look a certain way, pushing it hard, even though I felt more burnout symptoms.
So I really appreciate some of these reminders :)
Thank you for being here
A speed bump is not the same as a mountain! That was such an eye-opening statement. Another insightful video. On a side note, I am very tempted to scour nearby thrift stores to look for a similar hat.
I kinda figured out a while ago that Linda ☀️ is just rambling. Non stop. Or contradicting constantly. You can either roll with it or Scroll on !💪🤣 and I also figured out that a ton of you tube work outs and different Programs "" are really just the SAME work outs over and over. Slightly varied in nature. But it's all good..and they all seem to work from home very well..lol
Long comment:
Harry you made some really good points so I gotta talk about them. I’ve had an ED and truly for me to start loosing weight I had to try and mend my relationship w food. And tho I’m still working on it it’s SO much better than before. Transformations can be negative or positive, so I think intent matters. It’s so easy to compare your progress w others, I’m better at it but every now and then I still catch myself doing that. “Comparison is the thief joy” everyone’s journey is different so of course they look different. And to add what Harry said about it not being a linear journey and it being a long one is true. I started loosing weight in 2019, it’s 2022 now and I’ve been able to loose 64lbs, it’s slow, I took my time, I educated myself, I was consistent, and I was constantly growing and you know that? I take this over all the other times I tried. Some days are still hard but I love moving my body, I love cooking my food, and I’ve been amazed by what my body has achieved. I’ve hit a new low weight and I can run a mile in 9:45! It’s slow but I honestly believed I wouldn’t ever been able to do that! At one point in time, that seemed impossible.
Don’t give up, be patient w yourself, and you got this friend :)
Your input is always appreciated, Bianca! I'm so proud of you and I'm so thankful to have you here
@@TFNL you’re the best Harry
I'm faster than light when there is new video from Harry ❤🔥
ily
Oh wow I didn’t expect my question to be picked😌 Thanks Harry and again great video😊😍
And yeah wanting to know my body fat percentage was purely out of curiosity! Since my gym’s scale was so inaccurate I wondered if there was a way to estimate it a little more precisely😅 I’m actually really happy with my body and my progress in the gym and where I’m at in life so a number doesn’t really affect me anymore luckily!
I've also been curious on BF% so good timing on asking! I'm also in the "obese" range last time I tried, but I think ironically they might not account for muscle mass
@@threnoidia honestly, BMI was originally intended for population statistics and was never intended to really be applied to individuals, as individual bodies are so different. I wouldn't put much stock into it, focus more on how you feel! 🙂
@@austinhenshaw2140 my BMI is 21-22 so idk why my BF % would be this high (40%) when realistically (based on weight + looks + muscle mass) I’d probably be around 25%
@@austinhenshaw2140 Simple advice, but surprisingly a lot to think about here. Thanks Austin!
At the beginning of the video Harry suggests closing out in case you are triggered from content. This is so important. It's also important to remember that the video will be there when you are in a better place. As hard as it can be to imagine being in a better state mentally at your lowest, you really will get better. And when you are the video will be there waiting for you. Just my two cents as someone that's struggled off and on with depression over the years. Be kind to yourself. You deserve it.
Love your channel, you’ve inspired me to put my gyms clothes on and get ready for my workout
This is amazing!
Justina Ercole just did a fantastic "90 day journey" video where she basically showed that it has nothing to do with the length of time, it's all about sustainability. Nice to know there are still a few content creators out there who aren't pushing a time pressure on your exercise goals!
Facts!
About to Google her. Being fit is deflty a lifestyle that one cab sustain with effort but then again almost everything you what requires some time of effort
Love the pep talk needed it 💙
Love the analysis of body fat and how you feel about your body. I rarely feel better about myself when I get to my "goal weight" etc and that is really the point!
Great vid Harry :) on the topic of food/eating, what’s your thoughts and opinions on the new requirements for chain restaurants in England to include the calories on their menu? I’m torn between if I think it’s a good idea or not. I’m definitely more cautious about what I’m eating now but I can already feel the negative impact with how I feel about food and it’s only been 1 day… heartbroken about how much a cheese on toast is at my work🤣
Love your channel. I think the key for me is sustainability. If I can’t continue and enjoy my life, what’s the point.
I like Linda’s voice, but in my mind she lacks sincerity. I am
Prob in the in the minority🤷♀️
There are plenty of people here who do question her authenticity, don't worry.
No, I 100% agree. I watched the start of the vid and couldn't continue. The fact that she used her transformation to heavily plug a sponsorship is so, so disgusting.
As someone who has dealt with ED-related issues, it's pretty obvious that she replaced her previous forms of restriction with binging + purging via over-exercise. This is a very common problem to have for those who have struggled with disordered eating, and I've dealt with it myself. However, the way she seems to be struggling with these issues in the background while speaking in cliches and romanticizing her life to an audience of young women struggling with disordered eating... makes her content off-putting at best and triggering at worst.
that relationship with food part. thank you for that one. even tho my ed days are over, i do still struggle with this, especially as i still suffer from an ill digestive tract (not caused by my ed, rather my ed was caused by said illness).
I'm here 100% only to support, but midly against my will since Linda Sun's tone and diction drives me around the bend.
Adding plates to the like goal and turning the volume down 💪😅
I also have a meeting i forgot about 🤦🏻♀️
ily
Harry, another great video! I was so emotional when you said you are proud of me (us), I needed that today and I didn't even realized that. So thank you!
Question of the week: I am always so confused whether to go as heavy as I could with fewer reps or lighter weight with more reps. I know they have different "functions" and could help achieve different goals, but info on them seem to keep changing over the past few years. I used to hear that lighter weights are to "tone" and heaiver weights are to "bulk". But then I also hear (more recently) that lighter weights help with building muscle mass whereas heaiver weights help with building strength. Could you please enlighten me? TIA.
Natacha Ocean's most recent video has some information about this referencing more recent research. It may have the answer you're looking for if you want an answer asap!
@@Azelial Thanks! Will check that out! 😊
edit: just finished two of Natacha's newest videos and she did give out detailed info. 👍🏾
This topic has been touched upon in prior videos, but to summarize quickly, if you are looking to optimize hypertrophy (the building of muscle), it is ideal to take your working sets to if not close to failure, and this could be anywhere from the 5-30 rep range based on the research out there, and focus on progressively overloading these movements each week (whether that be extra reps of the same weight, increasing the weight, etc). Look for a Hypertrophy Guide from TFNL coming up in the future! 🙂
Thank you so much! This is an amazing question
I would love for you to do a video on the use of photoshop on social media especially with fitness influencers! I follow a few Instagram accounts that talk about it and it’s actually insane the level it’s gone to! People can even photoshop their videos now. Would love for you to shed some light on the issue/bring awareness as I feel like its something that really effects the self esteem of young individuals on social media.
Here you go :)
ua-cam.com/video/6_cJpSad1_I/v-deo.html
Thank u for your videos. You seem like a really really nice, realistic and honest guy. Thanks, such a nice exception in the world of fitness on yt :D
Thank you :)
That was such a good answer to the Comment of the Week I think. Why are we so obsessed with the numbers.
I subscribed because of the things I saw first, which was your amazing funky hat lol
Thank you! I'm proud of you too Harry 💪🏻☺️
In her last video she suddenly talked about how gross and bad she felt during the last couple months, if I understand that right, which confused me because in the videos before she was saying she's accepting her weight gain and loves her less restrictive and rigid lifestyle... Anyone who can explain?
She's making everyone sooo confused.. She's not clear about her life so she's making vdos out of it
i think a lot of people go through something like that especially if they struggle with mental health. i know that some months i will think i feel good about myself and think i'm happy but in hindsight, i was lying to myself and didn't actually feel good about myself and was not in a good place. i think it's just part of growth to acknowledge "oh i wasn't actually happy with my lifestyle at that time because it only made me happy in the moment/impulse not in the long term" i don't think that's the worst thing about her content but i do still watch her (i have other criticisms of her content like her thumbnails and ill placed sponsorships/ads that ruin a lot of generally decent messages)
Video Notes:
Always very happy to see getting the support you deserve from the audience, and the happiness it brings to you! If you find a good chair eventually, let me know, since I’m in the same boat!
Wholesome message about food and thanks once again for always looking out for your audience! Your own honesty about how you don’t always apply what you preach to yourself and “turning speed bumps into a mountain” definitely applies to me as well, which I know I need to improve on.
“Baby steps are still steps” is on the card, can confirm.
Broken record like always, but more wholesomeness and truth from you about transformations, and I’m sure a lot of your audience loves to hear “I’m proud of you”, since oftentimes people struggle feeling proud of themselves. Great video again, always love your content and being somebody whom I know is genuine when they talk about mental health, it's appreciated by your audience more than you know I think!
I WANT WHAT YOU TWO HAVE WITH EACH OTHER!
Sir
because it feels like eating disorders have become as common as depression, and now it's practically normalised, and no one bothers talking about them because they're sooooo normal, so thank you🥺❤️
This is really good: I support Linda and want the best for her, but I stopped watching her videos because I was responding (emotionally) negatively to the constant food shots with the accompanying (and prolonged) "hmms". I enjoy food but I didn't get a positive vibe from the videos. Choose what's healthy for you and wish people the best on their journey ❤️
I do not make noises when I eat, and it bothers me to no end when people do. 😅 Maybe it’s just weird but if I’m in the middle of my oatmeal and the person next to me is literally MOANING about how good it is it just ruins my appetite lol
Can you please do a video dedicated to squats. I have always struggled with adding weight and I would love to see you look at many people squating about explaining what is great and not etc 🥰🙌
Ping it across to me on IG :)
Hello from France 🇫🇷 New here and I love it 🥰😘👍
I'm in France too. 👋
@@melanieraguenaud5158 bonjour
The only props I'll give to this, is how you don't speak negatively of her cuz it's not my cup of tea. Ngl, I was a victim of her channel for a few vids last year
Speaking negatively about creators doesn’t really serve a purpose, nor does it help educate. I will address her potentially problematic behaviours/content in a future video but I’m saving that for the right time
At the end of her video, Linda says that her “transformation” was not that she reached a certain goal, but that she was in the process of building habits that make her life better. It’s only just begun. When I watched it the first time, I appreciated that message, because it’s what I’m trying to do also. My transformation looks completely different from hers, but I’m still trying to build those habits that enrich MY life.
*also Harry, I appreciate what you said with CQotW…does knowing the number really matter? You still look how you look and feel how you feel. Thank you for the wisdom
Love your content as always!
I have a question: I quite often see the plank included in workouts, but it has no range of movement, and nothing is being stretched. So if it's not for building muscle and it's not for stretching/mobility, what is it for?
A plank is a muscular stabilizing exercise that targets your core muscles well. It’s hard to keep a good plank for a minute +
@@Milo915 thanks for answering. I agree a plank is really difficult and impressive to do. The internet generally says that the plank is for building strength in your core or working on your abs, but Harry always says that you have to move a muscle through a range of motion to grow it, and it's possible to make a muscle hurt without "working" it. So I'm wondering if a plank gets too much credit and is actually a bit of a waste of time - even though I agree it is really difficult!
Paleeze keep this hat in your forever rotation! I'm such a fan of mermaids 😁... you have my like, as always.
I think no one has a perfect relationships with food. I totally resonate with what you said and i too, don't think have eating disorder but sometimes may have eaten diss-orderly from various reasons and circumstances. Sometimes i feel bad, afraid that i may have eating disorder from "feeling bad" that i have just eaten certain foods 😂. Really confusing. Just move on with the day and focus on bigger things maybe? Being conscious of what we are eating not a bad thing i believe. When is it becomes a problem? I think when we overly conscious and replaced many other important things in life in general. That is called unhealthy obsession.
Every excerpt from her video was self-obsessed and hugely tedious. That's my main issue with characters like this, along with how generally irresponsible their banging on about diet is.
I don’t think Linda should be posting online about something she should very clearly be in therapy for…it’s sad to see her air her ED to the world and get so much validation from others
Is there a way you can make sure you’re eating enough without counting calories?
I had an eating disorder where I would count calories and control how I eat. I’m scared to do it again to spiral but I want to eat enough for my muscles 💪
Thank you for your videos!
I’m not an expert by any means, but my experience with overcoming over restriction and calorie obsession while trying to build muscle has been to eat to satiety. Any time I feel hunger, I eat something until I’m not hungry anymore. Honoring my hunger cues has been difficult at times because my anxiety tells me I shouldn’t feel hungry or I’ve had enough, but I talk myself through it and eat anyway. No idea if I’ve gained or lost weight eating this way the past two years, as I’ve not weighed myself, but I know my clothes still fit and I can consistently lift heavier/perform more reps.
Also no expert but I'd consider tracking your progress in the gym, are you lifting heavier etc. and if you notice you're lacking energy in workouts or sth similar, you'll probably need to add in a snack... Otherwise I would say as long as you're getting stronger and noticing that a muscle you've been working on is growing just a little it's all good... For now just focusing on how you're feeling is probably the best, trying to monitor your eating for building muscle can also result in orthorexia and if you're prone to that it's best to avoid any of those behaviours. Maybe someday you will feel comfortable with tracking macros but focusing on getting in high quality protein, carbs for energy and fat for hormone health etc. is probably a good gentle approach
Also I pay attention to what I eat in a day - am I happy with anything, or am I craving specific foods. Just like when you're thirsty and cold watermelon sounds amazing, if you're always reaching for the peanut butter you're looking for nutritionally dense, protein and fats. If you are always ready to smash a chocolate biscuit your blood sugar is probably low and you should eat more to fuel yourself for longer between meals and snacks (and then eat the biscuit 🍪)
I think you can measure certain foods using the palm of your hand as a guesstimate But you'd prolly have to check calories at least one time to make sure it is accurate.
Wow! Thank you all for your responses.
I find her view toward food concerning because as a fitness youtuber people do look to her for direction. When you say I love food and it makes me happy so I'm going to eat whatever I want, as much as I want, and not limit myself in anyway its problematic for two reasons. Looking toward an external factor to provide happiness and possibly bandaid deeper issues is a problem. A two just because it makes you happy doesn't mean having unlimited amounts of it is good for you. I.e. treating myself to nice things makes me happy but if I racked up $30,000 in credit card debt would it be responsible to keep encouraging the behavior under the guise of well it makes me happy so it must be okay. On a sidenote- too often people mistake pleasure for happiness. Good food gives you pleasure, spending money gives you pleasure, finding the perfect shade of lipstick gives you pleasure. All of which are temporary and can be used as a band aid to avoid dealing with deeper issues. Happiness is more lasting and less transient. Having a supportive family, good friends/support system, growing as a person those are examples of things that can bring happiness vs pleasure.
I unsubscribed to her ages ago because she had the same words in each video and I noticed her body hadn’t changed ever. There nothing wrong with her body; but how can it be a channel that gives me whiplash on her loving her body and then hating it and working out in ways that obviously don’t change or better herself at all.
The pep talk I needed today
Have you considered selling merch? I really want your hoodie 😆
New merch is in the works!
Working on it :) Just having some issues with shipping stuff at the moment!
The comment about body fat percentage being 40% at 5’6 and 130lbs could be possible. I ran into a similar problem when I did a DEXA scan because essentially I had very little lean body mass. I have started incorporating more protein into my diet and introduced resistance training to help build up my lean muscle mass so I’m not “skinny fat”. The medical term for it is Metabolically Obese Normal Weight. I have my next Dexa scan in a couple of months to see if the percentages have shifted with the changes I’m currently implementing
Interesting , I guess looking at her I just don’t see 40 %bf .. yes skinny fat is a thing but generally it’s not that high . I’m 5 foot and weigh 120 and I don’t like loosing weight because I don’t want to be skinny I’m muscular body fat in low 20s maybe sometimes less so just looking at people I guess I just couldn’t imagine she was more then 30 percent .
Hi! I really appreciate your content! :)
I have a question and I wondered if you could help me with it
I started taking my mother in law to the gym (she is 67) since she has not worked out in forever and her age is catching up with her due to that.
The problem: she really struggles with lunges. She is not able to do a single one. All other exercises are fine.
She feels really insecure while going up the stairs and is afraid to fall and I feel working on lunges would help her with this, but how to train lunges if she cannot do even one?
Can she do reverse lunges? I find them easier. Also step ups are a good alternative as well.
Would she consider doing something like reformer Pilates? I am not an older adult but have found it to be really beneficial for my knees, ankles, and overall joint stability.
Knees over toes has a program that builds knees and hips at any age with zero weight she should really start there . Backwards walking , quit doing the lunges if it’s painful and build from the ground up
love the vids
Question: What kind of movements could I consider if I don't particulary like 'working out'?
Agree completely - progress is not linear. I struggle to believe there’s one person in the world who’s had the perfect linear fitness journey, who’s hit all their session targets and their food goals 100% of the time consistently for years on end. Humans aren’t perfect, so why do we put this pressure on ourselves to have the perfect fitness journey?
like a lot of other people said, I stopped watching her because what she said just got so redundant lol but I think she says the same things over and over and have the same thoughts and patterns bc that’s what got her popular. Like if it’s not broke don’t fix it and a lot of people still LOVE her content so she probably just feels like that’s what she’s gotta do to keep up her relevance
Video time!
Hi Harry! I look forward to your videos. I was wondering if you could do some 'Bits and Bobs' on Kim French. I'd like to know your opinion. She also has a workout plan. Thanks Kim😀

Hi! Just wanted to share something, which is very specific to myself so please do not come at me if that's not how you feel :) I've had bulimia and binge eating disorder since I've been a kid. And Linda's videos promoting to eat that much has been so toxic for me, as that's what I've been doing for years, and not understanding why I didn't look like her or other similar girls. Eating "as much as you want" just does not work for me and it makes my ED far worse. I need to learn how to eat it normal and healthy amounts, and that's where youtubers like you and Greg have really helped me. So thank you!
How is everyone determining their maintenance (and from that, weight loss) calories? I've heard a lot of distrust in the online calculators but I wouldn't know where to turn if not there. I was using the numbers from a calculator to lose and it worked a small bit but I've felt recently I plateaued.
And I know a common sense response would be to lower my calories more but I already feel I burn through my calories too fast to get the amount of protein in g that I hope for.
can you please make a video on taylorkayteee deciding to stop training? i feel like it's a topic that isn't really talked about in the industry
CQotW: if you plateau on a lift in terms of a specific weight and rep target, how many cracks do you take at that target before you change something? What do you change? How long do you give it before you then go back to trying your original weight and rep target again? Did I just squeeze three comment questions into one?
Yes. Yes I did.
Woah! Almost first??
she has also stated that some of her videos take weeks at a time ti film and edit... so even though she may have filmed it almost a month previous to when we're seeing it... and she also states in her videos a lot that she knows she's not doing well and is trying to rebalance her life and fix those things... these videos aren't just for "viewers" there also for herself, and thus meaning you can be a bad sate of mind and try to have good days and take in moments and still feel not the best at the end of the day. I think that she's very much aware of where she is in life but also knows the step she needs to take, and these videos are her not only reminding us but herself that there are things in our control that can be changed and is trying to actively do those things... but to the main point you made ill reiterate... she has stated that most of her videos take weeks at a time to film and edit because she writes a whole commentary for them... starting YT myself to do it all is very time-consuming and to got he extra mile of writing a sprit to go with it.... dang. So even though she may have filmed it weeks or even a month or two previous to when we're seeing it.
i'm someone with diabeties,my diet and caloric intake are bit restricted; i was trained to stay away from sugar since i was a kid;therefore i decided to avoid any thing that get me involved with food ,i don't binge i don't over or under eat however i'm worried about falling into an eating disorder trap because the less i eat the more i feel proud that i protected myself from a rise of suger level or any complication. is this okay?
Heya, fellow diabetic here. No solutions, but I feel you. Definitely had days I put off eating because my sugars were behaving and I didn't want to ruin it. I spent a lot of time unpacking it in therapy, coupled with some family history of diet culture. A lot of it was feeling like I was being graded by the numbers, and changing that mindset to it being a number to respond to, plus focussing on how it felt rather than fixed metrics. If your mood is being affected by thoughts of diet or your numbers, I'd say go see a counsellor (imo, not a professional)
I’m not a diabetic myself, but I can see why there would be a struggle between wanting to enjoy certain foods while also worrying about your health long term. That is absolutely a valid concern. Seeing a therapist to help reframe your thoughts is a good suggestion. To add on to Cassy, you may also want to speak with your doctor/endocrinologist and maybe see a dietician as well to help work what you’d like to eat into your treatment plan.
@@Cassandra2739 thank you for sharing your struggle ,I can see myself having the same attitude,but my mood isn't all time effected however i'mma take you suggestion into consideration;it seems like a good approach to this problem.
@@melissathelioma2890 yea, if i was living by myself it could be less restraining,it's somehow a challenge to have all of this sugary food and carbs,and no one's actually helping;it's confusing, therefore consulting a specialist will be my first attempt to have a good insight, since I never thought doing it and always wanted to do it by own.thanks again.
that trigger warning was so wholesome ♥
thank you for this video, harry.
but i think people in the comments should be kind with her, some of them are just... painful to read. it's uncomfortable to see somebody commenting on somebody else lifestyle and mental health, mainly if we know that linda struggles a lot with yt hate and we really don't know what is hapening in her mind. some of you aren't worried, you're just hating on her.
She didn't have to make a bunch of videos for public consumption that are talking about her issues. If she really wanted to deal with them, she would take a YT break.
What is life?
