Calling Out Terrible Fitness Influencers (Ft: Stephanie Lange)

[@elena_1776]

She's not highlighting those influencers as being good in the beginning, she was explaining the way they make money as influencers! The point was to give examples of how much money people can make as fitness influencers, to show the motive the influencers might have for misrepresenting things.

[@TipTheScales27]

She worded it badly

[@marguaritetherese3156]

She worded it "there are a lot of fitness influencers who are selling products that I think are doing it in the right way, such as..." How could this wording be interpreted any way other than her highlighting those influencers as good examples?

[@JohnNathanShopper]

“Nobody can look like their instagram pictures in real life. We breathe out!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀 I knew it! I knew all I had to do to achieve my fitness goals was to stop breathing!

[@judeemclaughlin7394]

I think most people are not actually failing because they are not trying. They are "failing" because they have been fed an unrealistic expectation for weight loss.

[@julianaflorez1792]

Not gonna lie, the first part of this video really stressed me out because it's clear that Stephanie didn't say that those influencers are doing something right. She is calling them out 😅

[@skybluekittty]

Same. I was cringing so hard.🤦‍♀️ 😬

[@RachelReduces]

3:08 Stephanie states she feels there are some doing things right and shows "individual" plans that include detoxing. That's what had John and others confused.

[@magda_pie]

around 3:10 mark, she does say that the influencers are selling products the right way- but the description of the products they're selling (fitness guides, apps, meal plans) are a bit off, like "eat and train to look like X influencer". So I understand his confusion because the description or "promises" advertised by these influencers are feeding further in diet culture yet she's saying they're doing it the right why, while disagreeing with their message. I think she's trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and doesn't want to come across as rude, seeing different perspectives, but I think she's blurring the lines and doesn't say her point clear enough :)

[@dismurrart6648]

So she says immediately before that these are examples of them selling the right way. There's a mix of fitness programs but then threw in Chloe tings clothing line which is arguably the most harmless of all the big influencer stuff. Tbh I don't find it particularly self evident based on that alone

[@magda_pie]

@@dismurrart6648 that's true

"Some people.... they got a fat dump truck from birth"- John David Glaude.

[@sierraroselyn]

I think you misinterpreted! I’m pretty sure she’s calling all these girls out.. she’s not saying they’re the ones doing things right (she just said that as a side note and then continued with the video)

[@skybluekittty]

Yes! I watched her video when it came out and I didn't think she was agreeing with the things they were doing. She calls people out all the time. He definitely misinterpreted. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@SevenHunnid]

Some people say i look like “yeat” anyways i record food reviews while I’m high off that zaza on my youtübe chännęl😮

[@RachelReduces]

I understand where you're coming from and I thought the same thing at first, but Stephanie clearly says "there are a lot of fitness influencers who are selling products that I think are doing it the right way such as Tammy Hembrow....Daisy Keech...." John was just stating that he was confused by that, nothing against Stephanie.

[@universalmind0]

Fast forward to 3:10 in this video and explain her comment then, please.

[@sierraroselyn]

@@RachelReduces yeah watching it back, she did say "such as" tammy hembrow! which is weird... but then I noticed she also added text saying "to an extent"... so yeah, definitely kinda confusing but she was still calling them out for the most part

[@CrazyVideosLater]

Can you do a video on how people treated you when you were obese vs how people treated you after weight loss?

[@Princess.McBetch]

I believe he has touched on this topic in many videos

[@CrazyVideosLater]

@@Princess.McBetch oh my bad. Thanks for letting me know I’ll try to find them

[@Princess.McBetch]

@Bruno The Puppy I'm not sure if he has a dedicated video about it but he definitely does talk about it, if I remember where any of the clips are ill link you!

[@CrazyVideosLater]

@@Princess.McBetch thank you

[@CanopusLux]

No video needed. You get treaded bad if you bigger

[@natashasullivan4559]

So stressed 😅 still in the beginning where he missed that she said they're not doing it right

[@marguaritetherese3156]

Where? She absolutely says she thinks they are doing it right at 3:10 when she goes into the list.

[@joshuapaulsen7414]

Great video, John. As usual. Always look forward to your posts on KZbin. I'll let my Grandmother know that the mystery of her missing sunglasses has been solved...lost them during a summer day at Huntington Beach in 1956, been looking for them ever since. Glad you found 'em brother, you rock the hell out of those shades. 😄

[@oulamansour5646]

😂😂😂😂😂 yesss mystery solved!!

[@JudasAdorus]

I did not expect to get to hear you say "double checked up" more than once today. What a beautiful day.

[@msslwht]

I love this man. 🙏🏻 always keeping it real. 💪🏻

[@rlynn5985]

A BUGS LIFE WAIST💀😂💀😂

[@paperigangsta]

one thing to add is that for most of these fitness influencers it's their JOB to be a fitness influencer=to look like they do. their job is to eat a certain way, to train a lot, and... well that's pretty much it if you exclude shilling useless supplements and sub par quality leggings. so of course they have more time to do all that also, a lot of them get surgery or body fillers (sculptra)

[@mmillsrd]

John I hear ya. Someone should do a video about men. So much bs that’s out there. You have to be careful. I love your comment “ at some point you have to take responsibility “. Yep yep. Thanks as always for keeping it real. Have a good one.

[@luanavieira9561]

Dr Mike said a recipe for detox that I never forget: 1) have a liver. The end.

[@LilyLuluko]

I don’t think influencers are doing anything different than ads for gyms or athletic clothing or protein supplements haven’t been doing for years. We all know that it promotes unrealistic standards. We all know a lot of it is BS. We all know they’re making money off people’s insecurity. We just get disproportionately offended by influencers because when they advertise to us, it’s designed to feel like word of mouth advice, which we’re more inclined to take seriously and are therefore easier to scam/take advantage of. To me, that’s actually the problem, and it would be the problem regardless of what they’re selling.

[@bethreacher5538]

Ok but those glasses are fire

[@WomanWearingRed]

“I think some of them are bad people” 🤣

[@josiebee9437]

I love Stephanie and I think she came from a good place when making this video. However the fitness industry may not be in her niche of content that she consumes. So I can understand how this video can conflict itself.

[@SuperBlargle]

Thé best part of this is johns sweet shades lol😂❤

[@_Mamimi]

I went to high school so with a girl who looks just like the blonde lady and she was the fakest, biggest liar in the whole class lol.

[@1800JCful]

I enjoy 'what I eat in a day' videos because I like to see what people eat and how I could change their meals to something I might like that is still healthy. Just me, though. 🤷‍♀

[@annabees]

I like watching them from time to time too because they often have some nice post work-out (or regular) snacks ideas (I already have plenty of meal ideas lol). Like, the avocado toast with egg. Would never have thought of that before watching that kind of content. Then I tried it and now when I know I'll have a big meal one day of the week, I have that additional "mini meal" option for that day 😃

[@1800JCful]

@@annabees For sure. I tried the avocado toast with egg one time and I had to toss it. I don't know why I bothered. I'm a texture person and avocado and I do not get along. I thought it had been a long time since I tried an avocado, so I thought I'd give it another go and it went flop lol.

[@annabees]

@@1800JCful I didn't like avocado before but it grew on me. I prefer avocado toast with seeds on it and well toasted for the texture too 😉

[@Ikine557]

Where do you get off being so cool? You better have shades for the rest of us!

John is savage this video!! 😁

[@ruemakesit]

I forgot about Brittany dawn til now 🤢 awful human

[@FitLabb]

IMO basically all the people she recommended have poor quality to generic or even snake-oil programs/products they’re selling. Booty blasting workouts, detox diets, belly fat burning exercises, etc, is all total nonsense…

[@Pugetwitch]

She wasn't recommending them.

[@RachelReduces]

I'm looking to lose 4 inches from around my arms in 15 minutes. Which influencer's customized coaching plan should I go with? 😬

[@malamaurer4043]

Awesome glasses 👓 thanks so much for bringing logic to the table John

[@saracode9566]

Mh yes, but I dont think that you really understood what Stephanie was saying in the video. Like the general sense of the video

[@Goonerette75]

It would be different if these influencers catered for different body types. It's very easy for unsuspecting customers to be sucked in and expect to achieve the exact same results as the influencers. This video alone should get people asking questions before investing time and money.

[@katiehake3365]

I love the sunglasses John

[@rhpets_25]

Honestly I hearing that the people who do what I eat in a day videos are likely not showing everything they eat is very relieving to hear lol. I always feel so self conscious on how much I eat compared to all these girls who live much more active lifestyles but eating so much less than me....

[@annabees]

Never feel self conscious of how much you eat. If you either are at a healthy weight and not gaining significant amount of weight, or if you are gaining weight to get at a healthy weight (whatever the reason), you are doing things as best for YOU. I basically eat 50 to 100% bigger (yup twice as much) portions as before, because I did a reverse diet which allowed me to get back to normal portions to sustain my sport sessions and normal life without yoyo-ing 🤗

[@rhpets_25]

@@annabees thank you so much for your kind comment! And congratulations on your reverse diet!! That is so awesome 👏👏

[@WeEducateAndTutor]

she contradicts herself

[@Showmesomethingbeautiful]

Yeah, this woman is slamming fitfluencers and yet promotes her faves. Make that make sense. Detoxing? Pft. Also, I remember the person who said she was Kim K's trainer was making videos on how to get her butt...yet hers was small, lol.

[@jodiewhitham6850]

Ironic that she's saying they're wrong then telling her followers to eat hello fresh...

[@alyssanavratil9216]

Hello fresh has nothing to do with diet culture 😂 it’s fresh groceries with recipes to making home cooked meals easier lol

[@MHSMagicLuver]

@@alyssanavratil9216 and they are actually high in calories. Even the “lower calorie” ones. Like a meal is anywhere from like 500-1000 calories from what I have seen.

Hello fresh isn't a diet though, it's just a standard meal service

[@Uneclipsed]

Fact: you can grow or shrink your bones. Bone mass corresponds to usage. More resistance = thicker bones. Less resistance = thinner more brittle bones. I know that’s not what she’s talking about but she’s still factually incorrect. Someone who does resistance training will likely have thicker bones compared to a person who does exclusively cardio. You also lose bone mass when you don’t use or maintain use of bones.

[@susanmiller6357]

Nothing to do with the content of the video, but I was surprised to see a Led Zeppelin and Beatles album covers in the background. 😸

John...I love your glasses😎

[@AprilTheRockStar]

As a woman who's got the booty to end all booties (not that it's the best booty ever, although I think it's pretty high up on the list, but it's just huge and has its own orbit, basically), it bothers me to see all these booty-specific workouts. Because I know for a FACT that I only have this booty thanks to genetics. I didn't have a big butt before I started lifting, but after 8 years of lifting, it's gargantuan. 30" waist, 43.5" butt. And Im not all that strong, to be honest. I work out with women waaay stronger than me, but they don't look like me. It's always a disappointment to people who ask me how I get my legs and butt to look like they do, and I tell them, "I don't do anything specific. I show up to my gym and do what my coach writes on the whiteboard. Genetics did the rest." I'd love to look like these tiny little muscular girls, but instead I have huge shoulders, a wide back, and a booty that requires me to size up at least one size in pants. I'll be 39 in 4 days, and I still haven't learned how to be happy in my body. Maybe one of these days 🤞🏼

[@mmmmmmmmaria]

honestly from that description your body sounds like an absolute dream body for so many women. i'm tall and lanky but chubby at the same time, prone to gaining weight but it's depositing very uniformly all over my body, and i'd love to have a strong back and a nice big butt. don't be so hard on yourself, i hope you find more self love and acceptance

[@Reppintimefitness]

I wonder how good my info is 🤔

[@FrauYaU]

It kind of bothers me that she says "all people, especially women, are built differently." Implying that each woman is more different than each man, which is simply untrue. There's an equal amount of diversity regardless of gender. This is something I've noticed a lot with the body positivity community, where in a round a bout way they're promoting sexism. It's like they find something they don't like about their body (particularly something that they could change if they wanted to) and then claim that there's nothing they can do because they're women and that's just the way they are. Which is not the case at all. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but it's something that has always turned me off from the "body positivity" stuff.

[@Moose92411]

The moment you bring up Chloe Ting as someone who is influencing "the right way," your credibility is gone. Gone. Zero. Bye bye.

Brittany isn’t a fitness influencer anymore and hasn’t for years. She admitted fault and changed her life a total 180. Not sure why she’s on this video as an example of current fitness influencers.
