"You are asking for a very short life span" he's fucking savage 😂😂😂

[@iloveublossom]

hahaha sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind

[@katieg5794]

Josue Lopez I mean, he's right though. Scientifically, it's been proven that belly fat is fully connected to diabetes, heart disease, and other terrible health issues that shorten your life span and absolutely negatively impact quality of life.

People need to hear things like this sometimes to change. As a nurse, I need to be truly honest because I care about my patients and I want them to live happier, healthier lives.

Losing fat is better than gaining it in most circumstances

[@onlypurr]

Yeah because weight doesn't really matter that much. What matters is to lose that body fat and replace it with muscles and have the same weight, but still look skinny and fit. I started eating healthy and working out and noticed visual differences in my waist, legs and arms, but my actual weight didn't change that much.

[@annabby]

C for Cat yeah like I understood and I agree could've been worded better. It's just that can be misleading to those who are uneducated. Because when words like that are put out there diabetics are attacked with all sorts of hate so that's why I and many others get so defensive to those statements cause I know I'm definitely tired of that bs and many others are.

Asians care for their look A LOT that most female asians use umbrellas when it's sunny and drink a crap tone of green tea

[@TheIMISSDADDY]

People are saying it might be her skin care routine but honestly it might not be. I'm asian and get asked about my skin constantly but a lot of us don't do anything, its genetic.

[@-FragileFawn-]

Then I guess I'm asian too 😏

[@Hauraki94]

Zachary transformation is so inspiring! I hope he keeps it up he’s done an amazing job

[@BennyHarfenes]

There's no way Zach was 28 percent body fat in the beginning - he's between 32 - 35.

[@fangdachen9744]

Maybe he just has naturally pretty loose skin and the type of fat that is hanging outside so it gives us a illussion that he has much more bodyfat. That's just my guess, because based on those before and after pictures he looks like he has 5-12% more bodyfat not gonna lie.

[@stratoskonstantoudakis9245]

people store fat in different places more for example maybe he has more fat stored between his organs instead of the outside layer under his skin for example you can also notice his back is too thick at the beginning so definitely he store fat symetrically

[@pandemonium3910]

I will have to back you up on that. Ive seen that trainer in another video use callipers to calculate body fat percentages and his reading were way off too.

[@racheldarmawangsa9589]

nah I started off with 31% body fat and I certainly didn't look it. I was 5'3 and 131 pounds. Ppl carry weight differently!

[@pyrrosdimas5798]

Agree not 28%

[@erinpickels6814]

I don't normally like Buzzfeed, but this. THIS. I love this.

[@highcotton63664]

LOL was gonna say the same thing! Not a big buzzfeed fan since they seem pretty biased most of the time but this vid shows real people and the importance of losing body fat, not watching the numbers on the scale.

[@oliviatreip9007]

Im glad that buzzfeed is acknowledging that being fat isnt all fine and dandy. Yea you shouldnt hate yourself for it, but its undeniably unhealthy.

[@razorgodzz7898]

True

[@Dyenney]

Olivia Treip Agreed. Self-love is an action. It is taking good care of yourself, both mentally and physically. Torturing your body with too much fat or starving yourself is not self-love

[@viyorel]

this is honestly really motivating. same with the one with evan and kelsey, though theirs is much more intense. i'm glad i found this one. edit: i also love steve's training! motivating, realistic, and very respectful.

[@SP-ir4er]

This trainer is awesome. Seen a few of his videos, I wish I could get trained by him 😋 never have I come across a trainer who's so intellectual. Hats off to all of you for your determination and hardwork. And ofcourse the end results 😍

[@lydiarebekah513]

I love these types of videos I just wish it went into more specifics and even had a daily update or at least a weekly update so we could steal some of their recipes, tips and tricks. It would also really show the development more too! Looking forward to more videos like this, hopefully with more helpful tips!

[@caitlynjowett]

LYD KW Sadly they don't do this to protect the business of both that trainer and many, as to get those kinds of tips you have to pay trainers. That's why there's no detail, it's almost like pirating a song in a way except its pirating a workout plan (which is specifically catered to them anyway so it probably wouldn't work for many other people as well lol)

[@lydiarebekah513]

I just wish they had more information in each persons development so we could track what they were doing right!

[@mishmash918]

LYD KW 100days with John Green and Chris is kind of similar. They document a 100 days of them trying to get fit It doesn't focus much on the food aspect but it does have exercise discussions etc .

[@AznDramaticaFantv]

look up superhero in training on youtube. Same trainer but they give more details.

[@grugg1]

how much BCAA they take? and how about cardio?

[@abbie794]

that mans transformation was insane!!!! he seems so motivated and commited

[@biatravessa5234]

Claire went from "I love K-pop" to "I'm a K-pop superstar"

[@Esandeech2]

Bia Travessa actually many of the kpop superstars just starve because they dont have time to workout as much as Claire did.

[@AcuteAngl]

everyone has time rofl

[@Esandeech2]

Angel OiTz im talking about kpop stars. Do you even know their schedules? They dont work from 9 to 5.

[@stan8489]

Hani Actually, I think part of the practicing is a work out. Some do starve themselves but they usually become way too skinny and their body becomes unhealthy looking.

[@tadah5319]

famboiant but Ashley gained a lot of muscle mass, while Kpop star will loose just fat and maybe increase a little bit muscle,but muscle need resistance training to grow as opposed to cardio

[@awesomealondra7507]

don't be skinny, be healthy

[@StarLove00]

Awesome Alondra some can be both. It depends on their natural body type.

[@awesomealondra7507]

StarLove00 I'm aware, I'm one of those people. I'm talking about mentally.

[@McDo]

Awesome Alondra don't be fat be healthy

[@woahslowdown8173]

Unless you're naturally skinny (I am) then be skinny & healthy :)

[@zoombae]

No you're skinny fat

[@sydneycarroll4903]

They all look so great. And you can see how much better they all feel especially Zach. U can tell he is so much more confident and happy

[@OkraDayss]

This is so motivating. I'm putting this comment here as a reminder to hold myself accountable, and to actually take steps to being my fitness journey.

[@meganhulan]

I love Ashley, she's my spirit animal. you can really see how much weight she's lost over the years though!

You are pumpkin pie, don't worry, you are PERFECT

[@selene5645]

lol same

[@NotoriousBBB]

Then start getting ready for next summer.

[@CakiePieSquared]

I LOVE this video!! It is SO helpful to see real examples of how real people can enact healthy eating and workout habits and see significant decreases in body fat and the REAL resulting weight changes. I can't believe that with all the "healthy lifestyle" videos I've watched, no one's ever pointed out that you might not lose many pounds on the scale (or even gain a few!) and still look and be much healthier and fit. I tried eating healthier and working out and got so exasperated because I didn't continuously keep losing weight. Even though my clothes felt looser and I thought I looked slimmer in the mirror, I believed it was all in my head because I wasn't losing pounds. This is so encouraging. THANK YOU!!!!

[@pg2300]

Claire’s healthy food recipes were amazin!! I wanna know/see her food recipes in a video series!

[@abbyconnors1377]

Anyone else get really motivated by these videos and then don’t do anything?

[@rotciv1486]

nope, I'm on a fitness journey myself haha.

[@jorgenvonstrangle000]

actually, i made a change again, I mean again as in 3 years ago went from 220 to 189 in 1 and half month, and i actually wanted to do a youtube video followups but i ended up just making 2 ridiculous videos, so im on a journey so far, i lost the weight before except what happened was actually i ended up getting lazy once i started working customer service so i had to make a change recently, but I started not only cardio but added exercises as well as adding protein to my diet and eating lots of fruits and vegetables

[@lingnoelle2563]

He looks like a grown Clay Jensen

[@kay9301]

Haha yeah, I watch these and mentally make a plan of what I have to do and how and then totally forget about it or just give up like 2 days in. Or I just plainly feel like yea I can do this and I’m still laying in bed not doing anything

[@Michael-ct6bt]

Abby Connors Ahem yes!

[@universemusthavemyback8890]

Would love to see an update. I've watched this video over time and have had my ups and downs with fitness and health.

[@haismat083]

I like how real these progress interviews were and not editing words out. "B, I'm not eating cookies!" So authentic.

[@TheVegetarianBaker]

I wish I worked for a company that paid me to work out for a video. :) Good for them for getting healthy though :)

[@Richenzo_99]

The Vegetarian Baker you're lowkey triggered. I feel you.

[@TheVegetarianBaker]

HAHAH! :) I'm a bit jealous. I currently wake up at 4 AM to go to the gym, but I'd love to do it for work and get paid for it. Just a nice bonus :)

[@Richenzo_99]

The Vegetarian Baker definitely. Lol

[@kaycgrocks]

The Vegetarian Baker buzzfeed should do a getting strangers fit series and give people who can't afford doing this program a chance for free

[@TheVegetarianBaker]

sign me up.

[@Saladlover]

BuzzFeed do this same video but for broke people who can't afford a gym or trainer

[@Xentrolis]

goo.gl/nijYBH That routine is pretty much the only routine you will ever need. The few or so equipment needed, you can make at home. There's also an app for it, if you don't feel like going through the trouble to figure out the routine on your own: goo.gl/wsh5hp I don't take supplements. I do this routine about three days a week, fasted cardio everyday (with HIIT on Tuesdays and Thursdays). Drink plenty of water and if you have a couple of not-so-great food days, that's okay. Just make sure you're below your daily caloric allowance. Learn moderation when eating. Look up "hara hachi bu". I'm a little more extreme than most people. I also do a full day fast every couple of weeks, mostly as a mind over body exercise, to help me reaffirm that I'm in control. I know some people who also go on keto every few months for three weeks. I went on keto for one week recently, and the results were pretty amazing. I wasn't miserable the entire time, either. I went onto Diet Doctor and found delicious recipes to cook at home. It was a little more expensive than my normal diet, so that's a minus. People swear it's not expensive, but that's only if you buy the same cheap food items in bulk and eat the same thing for almost every meal. I lost about 3 pounds and went from 11.8% body fat to 10.3%. I wasn't going to the gym as hard as I wanted to, so I'm sure there was potential to maximize on it even more. My wife had similar results (she's a much larger woman). We're gonna try again in February. When it's not the holiday season. I'm no expert or anything, by the way. Just a regular guy who found what worked for him. Good luck!

[@caesar4940]

For most people who aren’t doing high intensity sports, or your average joe, intermittent fasting and/or a calorie deficit keto diet would be the easiest way to lose fat. A 5 by 5 program would be the best program for building muscle for beginners in my opinion. You shouldn’t do this for more than a few months but the program is good for building a strong base for future lifting. Also when intermittent fasting, one shouldn’t really do anything too difficult. Light cardio is recommended when your body is in that state.

[@jmarshall9127]

Caesar Tuguinay what is a 5 by 5 program please?

[@ihadtodancetosurvive1824]

This.

[@homahashime9137]

Xentrolis thanks m8

[@blueangel7504]

I wonder how Zach is doing! I hope he is still keeping at it!

[@jeanann7840]

I can't be the only one who absolutely loves Zach for how motivated he is in this kind of videos

[@DaniDacey]

This is motivating af. I usually get discouraged when I don't see any change on the scale. It's helpful to be reminded that weight is not the only metric that changes when you work out.

[@mikafairystar]

Danielle Lacey stuff the scales! Make healthier choices and exercise more efficiently, improve on something every week (cutting food out, increasing water intake, increasing exercise) look for somewhere near you that does body scan to get a clear number on how much fat you lost, you can lose inches & gain weight at the same time

[@SayonDragon15]

Wish we could have seen the actual workouts

[@akiraic]

you can search for it on dozens of youtube channels. You can actually find better ones, probably

[@JugglerBradley]

That would put people like the trainer in the video out of work :/

A lazy person would always find an excuse. You have the internet... and common sense. you can even do deadlifts at home with some 10-20 pound dumbell, squats, push ups and pull ups. All you need, pretty much. And don't eat like a hippo

[@cupcakejessie6859]

I am very proud of them, and this is so motivating!

[@littlebuggles]

Way to go, you guys look great! So cool, seriously impressive work!

[@heysoph-9]

yay i'm glad they had "skinny fat" claire on this - someone i can relate to. i'm quite slim but not toned at all, it's hard to work out what i even need to do to get rid of body fat.

[@a_johnson7386]

heysoph9 I am the same as well but I'm a competitive athlete who trains on average 10 and half hours per week, I have scaled down due to a shoulder injury but even when I working out the full 10 and a half hours I had very little definition, a lot of my problem I think comes from eating really unhealthy, since I train so much I think I can eat whatever I want but now that's starting to impact my body and performance success, being quite short as well I often look larger than I actually am, I think I'm going to try and really scale down on my sugary carb intake

[@laurenc9458]

I'm really skinny too but I work out really. People always say I'm too skinny so if I work out then i hink I'm gonna lose more weight

[@laurafisher6469]

lift weights! if you can, lower the cardio down to 2x per week, concentrate on 1500 cals of healthy foods per day (if you want a caloric deficit) and just keep lifting! I lost basically no weight during my body transformation but I've replaced so much fat with muscle and my clothes fit so much better. All the best to you :)

[@ebbandflowph]

Same here! My trainer asked me to cool it on the cardio (though I don't cut it out completely, I just do more LISS) and now I'm focusing on eating healthier meals.

[@reagan7653]

ikr! having her on this video actually made me very motivated to start to get more fit

[@valericool]

It's amazing how much they changed in only 6 weeks. That is the result of true discipline, you guys. They stuck to their diet and to their everyday workout routine and the results quite fast.

[@Soaring_Seajay]

This is great! 👏🏻 Good job guys. Is there an update as to where they are now?

[@lastname354]

damn that girl can cook, wow.

[@ShaudaySmith]

Right?!? If she was prepping my diet food, i would eat diet food.

[@shawnaddis688]

Whyou Wannaknow she needs to make a diet food cook book! food like that we would all eat diet foods!

[@howardlam6181]

but I don't have time to prepare the food like that. It's easier to prepare food in bulk and the easiest way.
