Richard Simmons "Deal Your Way to Health" VHS Tape 1993

This was a very popular and effective method of weight loss, "Deal A Meal" brought to us by Richard Simmons, a health and weight loss icon and Guru of the period. A kind and compassionate man who understood the burden of being obese being obese himself. Listen to his heart felt explanations and his understanding of the burden of overeating. For several years this guy was a phenomenon. He is alive somewhere and lives a quiet, private life as of March 2023. May Richard Rest in Peace. May he exercise with all the angels and the saints. 7-13-24

Rest easy Richard.

[@daniaa.oliva-pena7338]

I feel happy just listening to him talk to me and motivate me .

[@joanmary90]

Love Richard. I still sweat to the oldies. No gimmicks here. Just sensible portions. Should work for anyone.

[@megadrivexsg2505]

R.I.P. Richard Simmons. I miss him so much, when I stay healthy.

[@catneedham4913]

This was 30 years ago and there’s still good info in here

[@Matt2chee]

I always liked how he actually cared about people in spite of what was thrown at him.

[@catneedham4913]

@@Matt2chee Agree!

[@mipps5370]

Love this man so much! Gentile, wise, compassionate, loving, inspiring, positive, smart, entertaining, enthusiastic, supportive, and so much love to give. We need more people like him in this world, especially these days.

[@Matt2chee]

I think thats why he dropped out of sight. It's to hard trying to please everyone.

[@Noah-yw6uv]

Gentile??

[@rachaelmorgan4025]

I think it had to be a mistake not that it matters but Richard s mother was Jewish

[@rachaelmorgan4025]

I still have my deal a meal goodbye Richard my litter prince. I will see you later

[@brian4019]

This is a pretty good system, actually

[@skelter1153]

I watch this all the time because I wish Richard was my friend.

[@mukbangsareawesome6335]

RIP Richard Simmons

[@debbiesunshinegirl7854]

I own the deal a meal. I've owned it ever since it came out. The problem is that through the years pieces of a got lost because my kids got into it. But it is the best weight loss plan that I've ever seen. Because it's not just weight loss it is a way of eating. It's healthy and it keeps you in control. I have tried to order this program again I was hoping that there was someone somewhere who had a box in their basement that wanted to sell it on ebay. When I used it before I lost 32 lb. And it's a sound program. And it does help you to stay in control. Richard's enthusiasm at helping everyone get to where he is is amazing Richard is an amazing person who has shared his own life with the rest of us. Thank you Richard exclamation point you've helped me in many ways in my life.

[@Matt2chee]

We are lucky to have a person who understands the burden of weight-loss.

[@Jeangrey567]

I used it and lost weight too. It was great because it made me aware of what healthy portions and an adequate diet looks like. Even though the food pyramid is outdated, the food cards can still be used in different, updated amounts. Richard did good. May he rest in peace.

[@Matt2chee]

@@Jeangrey567 He made me aware of portion sizes it took a while to get used to them. I could eat like a horse.

[@29Stumps]

There are currently a couple of Deal-A-Meal sets available on EBay today. Good Luck. RIP Richard Simmons

[@andywkit]

I love that even then he was telling people fat free = chemicals

[@fringestream990]

I didn't hear that fat free was bad until maybe mid-00s. Don't eat eggs and drink your skim milk.

[@bradleybrown8428]

I'm about 5 minutes in, I just wanted to look this guy up and now, now i want to check out this entire video.

[@Matt2chee]

He is sincere.

[@SFVGIRL]

Who doesn't love and appreciate Richard? I hope he is happy in his heart? I wish him peace. Thank you for everything you give! ❤❤❤

[@freddybell6169]

Just found out he died RIP Richard Simmons

[@Honeybadger7]

So many key points. Richard did a wonderful presentation of reconnecting with food in a healthy way. Being truthful with yourself about your relationship with food then taking the steps to where you want to be.

[@MathewRyan111]

This is a very well-thought out program and I have no doubt it works. RIP Richard and thank you for all you did to help the collective. You were truly a light worker.

[@dreamofskye7400]

Wow, he was ahead of his time.

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

Yes he was. He was one who talked about how a number of overweight people overeat to deal with emotional issues before healthcare professionals addressed it, and he was one who talked about how people’s bodies are different, and not everyone should be a certain weight.

[@Shivaismysaviour]

A man who never calmed down He can finally rest. You did a great job Richard 👏 Youll be helping people for next few hundred years +

[@drearydancer]

Nice presentation and he makes it look like a lot food. RIP Richard.

[@tylermunden4370]

40:05 this man is a treasure.

[@Sam-kg1ft]

Thank you for this video

[@Anakalia13]

he was ahead of his time. we really need these kinds of diets and just overall positivity back into the world. He made working out look fun and doable for anyone. Tired of hearing about keto and all these stupid nonsense diets

[@aracelypadilla4658]

Loved these cards. I bought his "Dance your Pants Off" kit with videos, cards, and toning bands. The videos were effective!!

[@treasalynam8940]

Love you Richard so much. I have lost a stone after going up and down my whole life since my teenage years and i think i finally have it down by being sensible and reasonable and honest with myself and finding other ways to enjoy or cope with life besides food. Your message can save lives. YOUR THE BEST !!!!!!

[@guardianofthemoon]

I love that people are still learning from Richard he is so amazing!

[@I-Yupp]

​@@guardianofthemoonwhat a nice comment 😊😊

[@leo-unddieAnderen]

It is great. He is teaching people how to learn a routine with the food cards and wallets. And people like activities where they learn. And it makes it interesting. He is a smart person and sweet too. Encouraging.

[@wolfman8449]

Not demonizing fat is actually a big deal for this time period when the world was like "fat = fat people" A good one in an industry full of grifters

[@xaviergough9359]

Well, his target audience were usually very obese people who had no business eating high fat diets.

[@retrochickt7947]

This looks good.

[@zachhoran]

Richard Simmons was a oontestant on the July 13, 2024 episode of Celebrity Bucket Kickers.

[@billyhw5492]

He had genuinely good intentions and cared about people, but the diet and exercise paradigm turned out to be completely wrong.

[@tylermunden4370]

6:28 made me feel good about being over 35 years old, just made it!

[@Nay-kp6uu]

"Ohhhh HAAIIII!" lol

[@11shadowdweller]

I bought this and don't know what happened to it. I really wish I could buy it again.

[@Dixon193]

you can. Ebay

[@user-wu5ql2zc1m]

A person said, there are two kinds of people, one starts their day asking, what am I going to eat today. The other kind starts their day asking, what am I going to do today. I tried both, one kept me thinking food, food all day. The second one kept me so busy doing, doing all day, 3pm suddenly realized I forgot to eat, feed children all day, forgot I was suppose to eat .

[@kellyanderson611]

I wish he would re release this or have something similar

[@kite6864]

i wonder what richard thought of ozempic and the GLP-1s meds coming out

[@barbywithaWHY]

Beth has slim arms and hands. I think she might already be at goal weight....(BTW, I lost 100 pounds by sweatin' to the oldies in the early 90's. Thanks Richard!!!)

[@cassandrajames1634]

I find it fascinating that instead of decreasing calories after a week you increase it

[@user-wu5ql2zc1m]

Breath in,now breath out. Was the exhale very low? My body hoards calories when the breath out is low. Walking helps, rxs help, mints help, (1918 flu red cross gave shot of brandy from back of wagon to line of waiting people. Caption on picture was one shot of brandy each was all they had to give them but it saved a lot of lives). One third to one half shot of brandy in cola helps me when desperate. Richard would say, ask your doctor.❤

[@katharsis3754]

That adult film music lmao

[@silentbob3208]

Jokes on Richard. I don't own the VHS tape but I am watching it anyway. But....why?

[@tracieh215]

There are similarities to Weight Watchers here

[@Nay-kp6uu]

WW was mostly a scam. You had to go to them and you had to subscribe. Richard of course sold stuff, but he would come to YOU and communities. WW told you how to eat, got to meetings. Richard just wanted people to eat reasonable and "get up and move!"

[@jackschissler255]

I bought this but it only works if you are home all the time to cook, being on the road all the time it did not work, I gave up after a few months.

[@kellyanderson611]

I kinda feel the same way about the Sweatin/Disco workout videos. When I lived at my parents they had a big room so I could do it. Now I have limited space. I'm doing the 7 days abs but with the cardio you need a fairly big room

[@baseemabaseema1415]

This reminds me a lot of how weight watchers used to work back in the 90s/00s. So much with moving the cards and keeping track of everything. We are so lucky to have everything on our phones these days, so much easier!
