Crazy how many people can relate. I made this video as its something I needed to see when I was first starting out. I just want to be clear that being genuinely healthy will not ruin your life. Health is balance. the video was to show how what I (and many others) thought was healthy was actually extremely unhealthy. Thanks for the video Greg, it really helps raise awareness for something you have already helped many with🙂

This except I do make allowances for aging and injury because otherwise realising you can't do things you used to is depressing as fuck. My upper body is way better now but I ignore how much worse some leg muscles are since I majorly broke it and can't ever get it back to that level of functionality (killer arthritis as well as other damage, it's totally fucked lol). Therefore, upper body is the focus

[@PopularMMOs]

I felt this as a teenager and early 20s. I never ate one unhealthy food for 10 years. Never even had a birthday cake lol. And refused to go on vacations or go out to eat because it would mess up my diet. Never missed one workout and would workout 7 days a week, and still hit the gym when sick with high fevers above 103. Had very little social life. Took a long time to live a mentally healthy life after. I wasn't even until the last few years, I had ever consumed things like pie, burgers, tacos, and many other things for the first time in my life.

@@jelleposthuma8786 I feel good now. But it took awhile to get use to living a more mentally healthy lifestyle. Now I still workout a few days a week and eat pretty healthy. But with a social life and being able to go out regularly. In retrospect I feel I should have had a social life, and went out and just ate healthy choices. But I was such a perfectionist it didn't seem good enough at the time. But now I realize it would have made little to no difference. Still remember one of my dates in highschool, bringing raw broccoli and a protein shake to go play miniature golf lmao.

I just took a rest week off after hitting some intense leanness for me (11-12%?) Taking a week off of exercising, my body shedded an extra 5 lbs of water weight surprisingly. Now lean and light, I can tell my body wants more food in my first day back to exercise. Like I ate extra earlier and still got shaky. Time to pull the reins, feed my activity and have less hungry time so my body can acclimate to this. If I'm too lean I will return to higher fat, I have pics of my peak to remember the good times.

Didn’t see myself accurately in the mirror even though everyone else thought I was in great shape. The fake natty’s of those days & misinformation in magazines messed with my head before I learned more & knew better. It’s harder than ever today because of what a mess the fitness space is on social media, youtube, & regular media. Beginners have no way to know what’s legit information vs. what’s not, or what’s a reasonable & achievable natural goal vs. what’s only achievable by heavily abusing PEDs. I genuinely feel bad for people today who are looking for legit help & advice, & unfortunately end up getting it from the biggest names in the industry who also happen to be some of the worst in the industry (think VShred & others like him…..), as it only makes these issues Josh discussed even worse.

Couldn't eat at restaurants because I didn't know the full macros and calorie content. Couldn't hang out after work because I had to get in my 2nd session of legs in for the week. Couldn't go on vacations because there wasn't going to be a gym. I'm glad I got injured right before COVID lock down. It made me realize what was really important.

God bless you. I needed to hear this. I was once 340 pounds. I’ve been slowly loosing weight over the last five years but the last six months I’ve become obsessed. Weighted as low as 128. I still wasn’t happy and was accused of being anorexic. Ive decided to change my weight goal to 155 but still struggle to get to that weight because I work out too often and don’t eat. I’m going to try and get to that 155 goal now

[@xRhev]

I was in the same boat last year. My lowest weight was 116 pounds as a 5’8” 17 year old male. I was OBSESSED with the scale and calories. A year later and I’ve finally recovered enough to find a healthy balance between diet, exercise, and my daily life. I’ve learned that the only person to compete against is yourself, and that as long as you’re making a conscious effort to achieve optimal health, you’re on the right track!

[@turtlerumpgames]

I mean I’d still congratulate you man. 340 to 128 that’s ducking amazing. As for eating try ingesting/smoking some weed. I know it sounds suggestive but appetite is the number one thing weed can help with along with sleep and so on

[@Wollestar]

I do struggle to get enough calories in, while trying to keep a "clean" diet. I just don´t want to eat junk food all the time. So what really helps me is using peanut butter on a lot of snacks and food during the day. Of course it helps, that I like it, but maybe it can help you as well, since it is really calorie dense. Avocado is one of those foods as well. Just make some selfmade guacamole (mashed avocado with lemon, salt an pepper, very easy to make) and put it on bread for example. Or it just works as a side dish for many meals. Greg also has quite some videos on calorie dense and low dense foods, that might help you find the right foods for you. But I do understand the struggle to actually eat more calories, even if you want to. So keep trying. Wish you all the best

Thanks, Coach Greg! I'm 35, and I naturally walk around at 125-130 lb at 5'7" if I'm eating well, which puts me at like 19 BMI, but I have no desire to be bulky. Still, I want to be healthier, so I started running 2-5 miles a few times a week, only to be hit with V-Shred ads telling me that running will make me skinny fat (lol). Since finding Coach Greg, I'm learning to understand more about diet, feeling fine about my increased cardio, increased my fruit intake, stopped worrying about protein intake, and finally began to understand that as long as you're maintaining or improving your health, you should follow the routine that motivates you that you can maintain, and there isn't some magically efficient workout routine that works for everyone,

@@avocadochony211 thank you. I have a very addictive personality and I know this is another thing I'm adding to the list. I don't do anything "extra" except weed but I can tell my overdoing it is becoming a problem.

[@DoAsYouWish]

In my mid 30s, weight 153 , 5 "11. Been trying to add some muscle and have been eating "healthy " . I'm seeing some results but I definitely needed to see this. I'm going to in and out to get me a double double.

[@kanebesil8910]

It is, I'm becoming to lean and amazing that everyone in my circle of friends is starting to hate me... I'm just an average dude who got engaged to cardio, lifts and an anabolic cookbook. I didn't know the burden of being more amazing than last time.

[@ygalel]

You have no idea lol Not a single family member or relatives of mine are ACTUALLY happy that I lost 100lb.

[@sasuke1212naruto]

Could be your ego thats scaring them away.

Haters gonna hate. Most people get mad when I won’t eat what they cook😂😂😂

This came at a good time for me. I’ve lost 174 pounds now. I know I’m looking good, especially compared to what I looked like at over 400 pounds. I’m crazy with the tracking.

[@edi6722]

Good job man

[@gaeborg]

you are wonderful

[@salenzar]

Yup. Just watch is vid yesterday and saw your comment on it. It really was a fantastic video.

[@elysianfields1671]

Being healthy will never ruin someone’s life. Being silly, crazy, obsessed, exaggerated will. And that isn’t healthy…

[@MegaSolidninja]

Yes I agree.

[@jp05598]

Right, the title of the original video is an oxymoron

[@gracey62uk]

For us here in the UK can I just say how I love it that the video ended with one of the chuckle brothers and giving fitness advice… for those who don’t know the chuckle brothers used to have a kids TV show here in the UK 😂

[@xlifty217]

Keep up legend👑🤙🏼

[@joshschaeffer7963]

Thank you Greg. I really needed to hear this video. I used to be extremely overweight over 400 pounds and I've lost about 200. I wish I could feel happy about my results, and I do in short bursts. But little comments get to me, and unflattering glances at myself in the mirror deflate my ego. So, anyway I took your advice and compared myself to my old photos I feel way better now. Your videos have helped me alot in my journey and I really appreciate you!

[@edi6722]

Great job on losing weight

[@awemanyfit]

I knew coach Greg would redo this video, I'll remake mine too

[@chrisn4892]

U gotta love coach Greg, one of the few fitness influencers spitting facts. Amazing video as always

[@osamatarek7862]

1:57 I am now at the same age , looks even better that and yet not happy for the same reason coach Greg said , can't describe how I felt after coach Greg said ", how amazing he looks " that literally mad my day , week and life! Thanks coach doctor nutritionist kinesiologist greg

[@rickylozada7994]

This is the video I didn't know I needed coach. Thank you :)

[@rudymelo880]

For those that dont know, when he says ED he means eating disorders not erectile dysfunction lol

[@iamatlantis1]

I experienced a double meaning moment too, extreme dieting can lead to eating disorders, but also it's very well known to cause potential erectile disfunction when you're malnourished also. I've only experienced the second one, luckily no eating problems aside from not enough appetite sometimes.

[@liamsloan5410]

Although one can lead to the other

[@rudymelo880]

Its true hard dieting can kill sex drive for sure. Only time I dieted hard I was young so ED wasnt a problem at that time from what I remember

[@IdidntReddit]

Thanks Greg, really an eye opener. Change my perspective on my own goal setting.

[@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988]

Spectacular video. Thanks for sharing it 👍👍👍👍👍🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧

[@user-kz8bt1os1i]

Coach greg is very wholesome but some people dont stay long enough on the video to realize it

[@xRhev]

I was once in that boat. A year later and I’m the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been with my mindset for training and living. As long as I’m making a conscious effort to be healthy, I’m happy. The only person to compete against is yourself! 💪

[@pasqualinamichelaconsiglio9391]

Thank you! Balance. Going to watch his video. Bravo to you, Greg. Also, is it possible we could get an update on your sister. Even if it's a little mention. I hope she is doing well.

[@Whiskyunicorn]

I felt this. I dove into lifting as a female , hit my genetic limit , and have felt like a failure because I don’t look like a shredded fitness model , despite my logical brain knowing they’re on a cocktail of drugs. Perfect doesn’t exist , fitness culture is largely smoke and mirrors , and I’m focusing on maintaining what muscle I have built and having fun trying new sports

[@clncrvl]

I had a phase like this when I turned 13. I was overweight and wanted to get skinny. I started to eat way less. I remember my lowest I ate in a day was 600 calories. I did lose weight, but too much. I also was exercising excessively. I’m glad I’ve mostly recovered and am at a healthy weight now.

[@fxng4564]

Great video dad! Another interesting discussion would be around the idea of whether people want to be "healthy" for the sake of being healthy or for the clout/fame/money that can come from it.

[@300detailersuccess]

I knew this video was coming

[@justinfiddler3193]

This is definitely the truth. you build yourself, the process is slow but steady 👌👌

[@jcolterh]

I was watching this and my dad got up and started looking out the window. Then he said, "do you hear that? Sounds like people are arguing outside." No, dad. It's just Coach Greg.

[@NickWebbSax]

Great video. The only people you should be trying to be better than in the gym are you from yesterday, you from last week and you from last month... Being leaner than last time isn't the be all and end all of life. Also, Coach Greg + The Chuckle Brothers' Paul Chuckle is the Mashup I never knew I needed.

[@victoriagregoire567]

This was the first summer that I actually enjoyed my life outside of a gym. I went on vacation and stayed active while also being mindful of my eating with some treats here and there. My friend had to remind me yesterday was the first time she saw me eat cake in 2 years. I honestly had to learn the hard way with the proper diet and exercise must be balanced especially with weight training. I agreed with your quote saying that your dream body once you get there, you will want more. Unfortunately that feeling is too real and it’s sad honestly I wasted so many years of my life worrying about how I looked. There are days when I have to check myself when those thoughts come about one arm being bigger than the other or picking apart my physical appearance. It’s never okay to be in this cycle as being happy and healthy is something I thought I could never be.

[@raby760]

Hello, Greg! How would you go about calculating my caloric maintanence level while on TRT? Before TRT, it was around 1,900 calories/day. Now, I can eat more than before and sometimes even lose weight, lol.

[@alexandrebeaudry8377]

“It is important in life not to be strong, but to feel strong". I was always puzzle by that quote (from Into the WIld) until I get rid of pain from my back. I slowed down my training to avoid the pain (still at the same level because resting does miracle) and I finally understand the meaning of that quotes. I feel powerfull and stand tall doing nothing compare to never be satisfied. My advice, learn to feel and heal.

[@buffcanuck83]

I like how we can hear Gerdy, in the background doing whatever he's doing. Lol

[@jeanshelbybooks4154]

This is such a helpful tongue lashing, as always. I’m in this cycle, always thinking ONE DAY I’ll look like those perfectly skinny girls instead of being fine with my 10 extra pounds.

[@tobiasrohrenbacher1548]

Bro I was watching Jeff cavalier trying to lose fat and gain muscle at fucking 135lbs lmfaoo. Gave up on fitness after senior year highschool and now I'm trying to come back into it with a much better mindset.

[@tafua_a]

Honestly, more people need to see this. I don't have orthorexia (a family member of mine had the misfortune of having similar EDs, so I immediately understood how risky that mindset is), but I used to be pretty overweight (according to the BMI, at my fattest I was around 15 kg overweight, which more or less 33 lbs) so I was convinced by my family to go through a pretty drastic diet that made me lose 25 kg (55 lbs). Everyone complimented me on my drastic transformation, but I felt like shit. I honestly felt worse than when I was at my fattest, still to this day I struggle with doing exercises that I had an easier time doing when I weighed 40 lbs more, and every time someone asked me my secret, my answer was always "I don't think you really wanna know". Now I'm doing better, my diet is way more normal, and maybe I just had to go through something drastic to "detox" from my more self destructive eating habits (I'm 5'9 and used to weigh almost 200 lbs, now I'm at a more manageable 150, but at my lightest I was at 145), but during that time I was miserable in every aspect.
