Because social media is designed to show off what you have. And only the positive things. So you are spammed with tweets like "hey look i just bought a car, I just dropped 30 kg of weight, I bought a puppy, I got hired to this insanely well paid job". And people don't realize that, that person might only have tweeted a positive thing in their life once, but because you scroll through your feed you get spammed these messages from multiple people across the globe. So to you it seems like everyone has their life together and always get what they want, when that's just far from the truth. And the other half of the time you get all the hateful and negative comments making you dislike humanity. It's just bad for mental health overall.

[@GGGmod1]

imo its a really stupid thing. Hormones from pregnancy could severely develop your breasts effectively adding pounds of breast tissue only, something you cannot remove without surgery. How in the world is this diffcult to understand that having a certain weight isnt indicative of a certain status. You can be stuck being over the weight you were before the pregnancy but that doesnt mean you are fatter. It could literally be just extra development of a lot of things that add some weight. And being at the body fat percentage you were at beforehand will not put you at the same weight.

everytime i diet down its always the same rules, "eat less, work out more" simple as. only thing id add is figure out what your maintenance caloric intake is (that is how many calories you need to eat to maintain your current weight) and take away 200-400 calories off of that maintenance intake. personally if i take off anymore i start to feel really shitty because im not eating enough or inversly i end up binging because im starving myself. Each person is different and loses weight or gains it differently, the idea is to experiment without falling into one of the categories talked about in this video because then you will be at risk of really hurting yourself. do your research, fallow genuine health/fitness channels who use scientific studies to back what they are saying (and not just cherry picking one obscure study when every other study says different) and listen to your body as i mentioned before when i explained why i dont go lower than 400 caloric defecit.

Really great video, Josh! I was aware of the negative effects that social media can have so I stopped using all social media many years ago, except for KZbin. Social media is not inherently bad but, speaking for myself, I'm able to navigate KZbin while maintaining a level head. It was much easier to fall into dangerous comparison behavior on other platforms. However, since I haven't been on other social media, I wasn't really aware of the variety of negative experiences that social media has been causing. I love that you are telling others to be wary and have balance. Great video.

[@schuletrip]

Mate, your videos are absolutely brilliant. Really nicely produced, great sound effects, great points and great narration! Good. Stuff. Keep em coming!

[@fredbyoutubing]

I follow a lot of Artist's Instagram and this video makes me realize they probably have similar effects. Comparing you work to theirs and getting false illusion of progress. "You don't need art schools, just follow my advice and live from your art!"

[@alexanderledermiller1963]

This is a top-tier documentary. Really good bro

[@IlyaPhoenix]

This is a very needed video to watch to expose the reality that stands behind pretty pictures on social media. Thank you, Josh!

[@TheSilverwing999]

Please do more of these. We need these deep diving videos on the internet. This is the type of video that I would show my kids in the future to teach them to look out for themselves. You are awesome.

[@mickeyari2628]

there are alot of deep dive videos on the internet... This guy just makes it extremely easy to watch and he is quite entertaining. Not to mention the video quality and structure.

[@digdug2507]

He’s the Sunnyv2 of fitness

[@raider7790]

I saw all these things, but I couldn't tell people it the effective way without going out of my own way. Thanks for making the video.

[@simonramzi2406]

Watching this again, you really are one of the most grounded fitness-related content producer out there at the moment. Promoting a healthy lifestyle rather than a "get shredded quick" method is so important, and you are out there spreading a really important message. Keep fighting the good fight and I can't wait for the next video to drop in my subscriber inbox.

[@leonro]

honestly it's crazy how he only has one video with fewer views than his subscriber count

[@fikkitchen]

I'm getting MAJOR Kiana Docherty vibes from these topics and I freaking love it!!! Keep up the amazing work!

[@Cjsingh91]

The algorithm hates you. You deserve more views and subs

[@Catherine04647]

I’m on my 3rd day of deleting Instagram I feel better about myself but, every time I look in the mirror you remember how ugly you feel and all because some girl photoshopped her body and her face to an unreasonable standard. It’s horrible, sometimes I cry about it. The fact that girls bullied me at school also didn’t help. To be called fat and ugly at 5,8 and 130lbs is horrific, I was also spat on at one point. It got really sick and lost a lot of weight. If you feel like Instagram is part of the problem delete it.

[@egor373]

Same I've deleted mine insta id 😋

[@Icemario87]

damn, girl

[@JurassicRod]

I dated a fitness instagrammer once. In her photos she would be at the gym in trendy gym wear looking lean and muscular. She had thousands of followers who all looked up to her, companies sent her free gym wear and protein bars etc. But in real life she was just malnourished. The only food she had in her kitchen were the free protein samples sent to her. She was unhealthily under weight but could go to the gym in her trendy gym wear, tense her body to look lean and muscular for pictures and then post on instagram. It was all BS. I'd say she was pretty unhealthy.

[@harishrajkumar3425]

This man puts out such amazing, well researched, well edited videos. Respect for putting out such quality content

[@EveryDayWisdomEWD]

one of the best videos on the entire internet OF ALL TIME! love you man

[@asgerkrog9315]

I have now seen all of your 4 videos, and how are you only at 7.000 subs. This is some of the best videos I have seen on yt in a long time. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your next video. I’m stunned

[@zubayerhossain7551]

26.3k now O_O

[@asgerkrog9315]

55,5 k subs

[@mikefigure]

I messed up my eating routine from intermittent fasting by eating two meals a day for the past two years and I’m trying to eat breakfast again on an earlier time but, I can’t because I feel like throwing up and I’m not used to eating breakfast besides lunch and dinner. Hopefully I could eat breakfast again at 8 am. These diets are messing people up and brainwashing them into “fitness gurus” which aren’t healthy at all.

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

DANG, the intensity of this video 0_0 Also this dude is speaking facts

[@BammyQ]

The production value and information value in these videos are always ridiculously high. Respect

[@mbah8011]

You deserve the money and fame of these influencers. You do such great work. Your videos are done very well and the info is always on point. If I did not know this was KZbin Id say this was done professionally.

[@Rob-cy5xj]

Its so simple, I only get influenced by people who have the degree and the scientific proof that something is good for me. I wish more people had that way of thinking about "influencers"

[@theartifact1193]

This felt like I was watching a BBC2 mini-documentary.

[@losasakarosa9050]

This channel is painfully underrated

[@darth_bagel]

I’ve been recovering from orthorexia myself. After I realized what was happening I briefly tried “intuitive eating” which has some nice principles but I nearly fell completely into the fat acceptance movement. It’s thanks, in part, to rational, caring, honest and intelligent content creators like yourself that I have finally found a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Subscribed.

[@jasengriffin485]

He is truly speaking the truth. So much image crafting in social media.

[@abhijitprasanth1153]

I love how every time the moment he mentions plastic surgery, the kardashian family pops up xD

[@FitLabb]

This was an incredibly well made video, and also absolutely correct about the sorry state of the fitness and nutrition industries right now. Thank you for making this. 👍

[@gamergirl209]

This reminds me of a thing I saw about how movie stars get 'ripped' for roles, Jason mamoa, henry cavill, hugh jackman, and how unhealthy it is to maintain long-term. But also the idea that it's their only job to get this way for the role. The average person doesn't have the sheer time and resources to do that. And it's not recommended anyway

[@flooby1338]

this is why ~~celebrity trainers~~ are bullshit, celebrities whose careers are dedicated towards fitting an aesthetic for certain roles are going to have the time, lifestyle, and resources to do it as a full time job. Even with that their physiques are not sustainable. PEDS are an open secret. They are not normal people so why should normal people expect to look like a celeb?

[@Wolf462]

Yea flooby nailed it. The fitness industry as a whole is a scam. 95% of the supplements are useless in the first place. On top of that most don’t even have what’s on the label. And thirdly the people pushing this shit or the people in movies are in no way shape or form natural. They are all on some type of performance enhancing drugs and so there is NO WAY normal people can look the way they do no matter what supplements they take even if you are one of the very very few with the genetics to look that way you still will not look the way they do without doing major harm to your body with drugs and horrible diets that are not sustainable in any way. I work out A LOT. I’m natural. I research everything I do and take. I’m not an expert by any means but I’m speaking the truth here.

[@peace5745]

as someone suffering from high performing anxiety and orthorexia , you dont know how much i needed this today

[@SombreroBeanieHat]

I think the only Awnser to this issue especially those with image issues/insecurity is to get off social media. If you are not in a place you want to be and seeing all these motivated fitness instructors having success, it’s probably for the best to not be on these platforms that are not realistic to reality. Been off social media and I can honestly say I’m so glad I got off it!

[@MedWithSheikh]

Love your production quality! Can't wait to see more content in future!

[@dappaecentral6262]

I have being waiting for a documentary type channel like this linking to fitness. Post notification on.

[@gymovements]

Thanks so much for raising our awarness and potentially saving us from the harm of having high expectations from influencers.🙏🏼💯 May all social media users will get to see this video🤞

[@shootdang8618]

Man the info here is priceless. The editing on this video is crazy good. You've got skills man.

[@rommeldelgado8626]

what a masterpiece of a video. This really needs so much more recognition
