@@garyanderson4451 You haven't got to starve yourself. You know exactly what is good for you.

You've just been inundated by 'fitness gurus' claiming there's a new way to get lean. There isn't and never has been. Eat natural foods and do plenty of exercise. It's that simple and yes it's that hard. But if you're honest about getting healthy then why would you care how hard it is?

@@iamvulgar8188 I would ask a dietician or nutritionist for advice on that front. Im saying this as someone that isn't against doctors but doctors aren't trained in disease prevention or nutrition. They're trained in fixing what's wrong at the moment for the part of the body they specialize in. Also they're human they can't know everything. So take advice from someone that specializes in nutrition.
I always found it hilarious how their “calorie deficits don’t work, cardio doesn’t work” ads popped up right around the time I had successfully lost significant weight from calorie deficit and exercise.
On top of that it's an example of the motte and bailey fallacy, using the statement that cardio and calorie deficits don't work (which has truth to it in the sense that they don't work for everyone especially if it's an insulin or stress issue), and they use that relatively grounded statement to try to legitimize their insane statement that eating pizza and taking this pill will make you lose weight and get jacked lol
It’s literally impossible to lose fat without a calorie deficit, anyone who has ever lost fat has been in a calorie deficit, any diet that works for fat loss works because it creates a calorie deficit
Lost 20 pounds in a month and a half by cutting out beer drinking and eating one meal a day with light snacks in early-mid morning. As soon as you get over a shitty week, it gets better. Telling me that putting the fork down and stop drinking won’t get me out of trouble since it was what got me in trouble is a load of crap.
yea but u have to be careful to not eat too low calories otherwise the body will start blocking the weight loss process and will consume way less energy and start storing fat. Some people think that the lower calories you eat the more you lose weight, which is wrong and dangerous. at max you have to eat 500 less calories than you burn, no more.
I am so happy that I have accidentally watched a video for exposing him and researched and found this one, because recently they have bombarded me with advertisements and I have sometimes wondered if I should check their program and what they are offering. But now I am glad that I didn’t. Thanks 🙏🏻
I myself enjoy working out, primarily body weight exercises. But why would I want to fall for the scams of weight loss? I'm interested in GAINING weight since I'm almost comparable to the skinny guy in the old Charles Atlas ads from comic books who gets sand kicked in his face by the infamous beach bully.
@@stanleybroniszewsky8538 Go for it..be healthy ..put in the work..eat RIGHT. Take just protein powders/vitamins & minerals. Lots pure water. That's it. You will look great your whole LIFE. Like me 🙏 👍🏻
after spending 2 years getting fit myself, i've learned that 98% of fitness products and services are a scam. consistent and safe workouts, water and clean food is all thats needed. period
Same here, and how I ended here as well, it's sad that marketing tactics are more relevant than actual facts with the mass public, and I am not even in the US.
Not sure if I happened to let that ad play out, but I swear I don’t recall ever seeing a straight answer to that question in the ad. I probably skipped it halfway 🤦♂️
yeah right. Is this Josh Brett channel or is this a repost? Because if this is orig content, 2.07k subs (at the time of this posting) makes no sense to me. This is very profressional Netflix-documentary quality stuff.
Dude, I fell for it and im not even a gullible guy. because i was a beginner, he put me through sooo much pain. now that i moved away from his product and independently found ways to loose weight my way.. I have lost 25 pounds in almost 3 and a half months.
@@ryanbutler8518 oh... I thought his product actually gave you pain as in kidney injury and needed dialysis or something along those lines... I see there was a lot of frustration there ok ok... Thanks.
Wow! I almost purchased one of their programs, but I didn't have the money (thank goodness!). Then the YT algorithm slowly started suggesting this kind of vids to me. Thanks for taking the time to share the truth. Appreciate it!
Wow the man himself! Thanks Simon, been a fan of yours since Rock reacts, you've got to be one of the nicest/ most uplifting people in the industry, thanks for the support 😁 PS that v shred ad you done was impeccable😂😂
@@brettjosh Very kind, man. Appreciate it! Always good to hear. If you want to chat more about how you put all this together give me a shout. Maybe we could do a chat over Zoom or something for a future video 👍. No worries if not.
I’ve never heard of this guy or company. No idea why TH-cam algorithm even put this video into my feed, but it was a very interesting and informative 13 minutes. Very well-researched and well-presented. Glad I watched it, so thanks for putting out such important content.
V shred s videos in a nutshell: "Yeah, so basically, almost, you have the, actually, triceps, no, stretching the cable, biceps,uh,...cardio, body type, yes, take the body type quiz NOW
In the ads about body type, he talks for like, 40 minutes like this: "Yes, in this video, we will present you with the key to the best shape you've ever had. This secret is so awesome and never thought about before, and we will tell you in a minute" *40 minutes later* *bulshit* *keeps beating around the bush* *doesnt say it* So that s why we value this very thing so much, and instead of telling you it, I ll pressure you to buy my supplements".
Never seen it. But depending on your specific goal, when you do cardio can be almost as important as doing it at all. Still sounds like a terrible ad. "Cardio burns fat, wrong cardio burns less fat and is less efficient" I guess is what the idea was.
Same! Always felt so sketchy for some reason. Glad I work in the industry to realize why. Unfortunately there’s too many who don’t and get duped with the “super secret and simple solution” he peddles.
I once fell for one of his ads and went to his website where I watched him talk for 40 mins. It wasnt even the end of the video, I just got so bored and realised that he had clickbaited me into watching that. I hate him with a passion
To be honest I'v been dragged to a similar ad and watched the whole 40 mins and in the end bought the program for 50$ 🤦♂️ shame even though I searched before buying I didnt find any negative reviews. I hate myself now
Thanks for the video , i just got vshred ads through facebook and seen this iterating 30min video and from my first perspective "a normal guys without fitness knowledge" i thought to buy it , but the way was so suspicious that i had to do the research about him and literlity after 5 min google search on youtube and reddit i felt like a stupid to believe him. Thanks again for sharing this info you saved a soul today Edit: i need to add that it was waaaay weird to say it's a one time sale and it will be gone if you leave the sit.
Great video! I almost got into V-Shred! Since I am an auditor and investigator of fraud and corruption, I just did my research and KNEW it was all BS. This video proves what I found in my research. Good job, Josh! GOOD JOB!!!
TH-cam only cares about $$$ Not its creators or viewers. They will censor any video for "false information" with the facts and evidence to back it up but let ads run that are 100% false info. They just want the money from ads
@@oscarperez3615 Mafia City, The Raid... All just pay to win to skip the grind fraud games. Should be illegal to advertise those products at all. But youtube is fucked up. And I wont buy a premium just because they forced commercials to youtube when it wasn't the case always.
@@chopzmasta07 I know barely anything about any of these channels being talked about, but cut the dude some slack, he was being humble and positive towards another and just sharing positive feedback. It's ok to rag on people when they are messing up, but not when they are doing something positive.

@@Jennydear12 Same here, I always kept getting that ad, while listening to music and doing some work on another application. Then this ad pop up with that line. I just replied in voice "oh really?!" and skipped it. Etoro and Vshred ads like a nightmare for me.
@Charles Please include a reference on this, because nowhere has anyone said this. The only possibility of losing muscle from cardio is doing it too much without complementary weight training and proper nutrition, losing muscle from slow pace cardio is pure bullshit.
I can understand how someone who's tired of being overweight, has low self-esteem and lack own motivation can totally fall for anything that promises to help. But... honestly, as soon as I saw the first video of Vshred I immediately knew it wasn't real, scientific, or helpful. Remember guys! The best exercise is the Exercise That Gets Done. Don't start off with too high goals, start easy. Love you all.
Fake people with these ads are too easy to spot nowadays "If you want to increase your testosterone then stop drinking your food." He doesn't actually say that but it's close enough
@@thatsroughbuddy1407 The first one I ever saw he was like "stop eating the wrong foods and JUMPSTART YOUR TESTOSTERONE BRO!" and it was just pictures of burgers and steak/potatoes. Honestly I was initially put off by him because he's just douchey in the ads. His actual videos are nicer but only because he's doing his best to plagiarize AthleanX
This was an amazing informative video. Thank you so much for that mate. Seriously been thinking about clicking the link and getting advert after advert "Vincent" is clearly gaslighted in to something he "personally" can't endorse because he seems to be "under the thumb"... again .... thank you mate Jaiben x
I sadly fell for V Shred’s advertisements and bought their clean bulk programme last year as I was starting to gym I thought it good but after the 3 months of sloppy results I realised that I’d been scammed and that it was so bad. Thankfully now I’ve found a proper programme and am making real gains
@Boruch Ber People should still eat what they want but LESS and avoid binge eating. Crash diet or forcing yourself in a specific diet would just backfire in the long run, not everyone has the discipline to maintain so anyway. Exercising and not binge eating is the key to losing weight gradually in my opinion, gradual weight loss is the best way rather than crashing yourself and end up going back to the usual habits of eating when they have achieved their weight.
@Boruch Ber Yeah, I read Zuby's Strong Advice fitness book and he preaches this very thing - you need to go into a caloric deficit, you need to strength train and do cardio, but most importantly - you need to go into a caloric deficit. He's also big about not being on your phone when you're in the gym.
I have seen these ads for YEARS and I never trusted or believed them. They would always give me an off feeling. I hope the world will see through the lies. Thank you for confirming my suspicions
As a middle aged lady I of course looked at the handsome guys commercial. He was so supportive and understanding. Yeah, I have seen those guys before. Never trust them.
A vshred ad just popped up so seamlessly that I thought I was still watching the video for the first 5 seconds of the ad. Even better it was for their “test boost max” right after the shot of a snake oil salesman. Flawless!
@@tahaghassemi2381 I think he means in mobile game ads they make the game seem really good and interesting but they’re really shitty just like V shread’s products
Got a V shred ad while watching this, lol, he just said “ahhhhh this woman is working out so hard and somehow gains” Edit: Why is this getting so many comments stop
@@rise_and_reborn4048 haha yeah kinda. Greg has beef with almost all people who he calls out and don't take it as constructive criticism and either ignore him or don't take his advice and in either case sometimes they keep on doing what they were called out for
@@rise_and_reborn4048 Alan and Jeff have this friendship/bromance thing between them and when Greg said something about Jeff that Alan didn’t like tensions slowly began to rise from there
Athlean-X ain't much better, tbh. Straight up lying that he uses gear. Sorry, but hating V Shred doesn't mean you have to love Athlean-X... The moral of the story might be to not trust anybody who "lies for the purpose of selling you something". Period.
@@demun6065 The difference is that athlean x's workouts and tips are actually useful. V shred's advices are 90% of the time absolute dogshit but athlean x knows what he's talking about.

@@ehjeieusywyay5165 Yea lmao, there are other things though, like being honest, funny and all of that.. but people value attractiveness a lot.. Those people in the ads are blinded by their own beauty
I get his stupid "pizza vs salad" ad before every video even though I've already skipped it 20 times. I also get that girl in a bikini with the same conning tone telling me to stop doing cardio for fat loss. Girl I already stopped 6 years ago, leave me alone!!
“Why the bench press will never get your chest any bigger” I don’t know how anyone in the fitness industry could say that and not know it’s utter bollocks. BTW, the work and professionalism in this is bloody amazing. Subbed.
This. I started off by doing push-ups when I didn't have much muscle on my chest. Now I'm doing bench presses and my muscles just keep on growing. That is honestly one of the dumbest lies I've ever heard.
"Avoid vshred at all costs" That's funny because avoiding vshred doesn't cost me anything. Avoiding vshred saves me hundreds it sounds like. Easy. Done.
His commercials come on ALL the time. He’s an obvious fraud to me because he spouts nonsense, but it’s very professionally produced which gives it a weird sense of legitimacy.
Mike chang had the EXACT same strategy back in the day. Sadly its very effective because most of these guys cash out and leave TH-cam once they've made bank.
I actually remember seeing a bunch of his ads way back when I just started getting into working out. It's kinda unbelievable how accurate the advertisement algorithm has gotten, to the point it can distinguish the beginners from everyone else and drown them in ads.
Not hard to do really when a lot of people Google things like "how to start working out" and "workouts for beginners." Remember that TH-cam has been owned by Google for a while so every Google search you do is recorded and used to determine what you might want to watch when you get on TH-cam. We're literally telling them what we want word for word, there's no real magic in it. The rest is just how confident they are in the fact that we are beginners based on the number of times we do similar searches and how recent our searches were.
The amount of times that I’ve almost fallen into his scheme because of these ads. He had me convinced that I was doing everything wrong, and I just need to listen to him to lose weight
The ad algorithms are very very accurate. I don't remember when and where but at some point some store built an algorithm so they could target ads better. They got into trouble because they started recommending baby related ads to a 16 year old girl so they had to apologize. A few weeks later the girl's dad came in and told them he is sorry and the girl really is pregnant. The algorithm examined what she was buying and came to a conclusion that her shopping pattern is similar to the pattern of pregnant women. Data is pretty fascinating
@@cactusmalone yup and gave me a fantastic home workout during the pandemic that helped me keep shape without weights. No one is perfect but he's got valuable insights
Thank you for this video. When I saw these V-Shred videos I knew something was not right and when he started selling those "burn" supplements I did some research on them and the side effects 😮 reminded me of those medication commercials they show on TV. When I was younger I struggled with my weight and was made fun of so I am no stranger to fat burning supplements. I took so many of those that it's a miracle I am still alive. My friend was a bodybuilder and she took fat burners... She had to get her gallbladder removed. Losing weight and keeping it off takes discipline. It can be done. I had several great personal trainers and I have learned a lot from them. You just have to do your research.
You don't need to do cardio to lose fat, it's not very effective for it actually it's mainly for cardiovascular health. You just need to be in a calorie deficit(eating less calories than you burn), eating enough protein, and preferably lifting weights to help hold onto muscle while losing the fat.
@@dgtsm9217 Yeah it would which isn't a good thing by the way you never want to do an extreme deficit unless you're around about 300 pounds give or take. It's best to stay around 300-500 calorie deficit.
This is something all beginners need to see!!! I know I’ve been bombarded with his ads, I categorized them as scams and always skip them I didn’t realize to the extent of the problem. GREAT VIDEO!!
Same, there was a period when his ads would pop up non-stop and it annoyed the hell out of me. I'd get livid just seeing his face when he'd start uttering some outlandish bullshit. For some reason, I don't get his ads anymore. I hope it stays that way or I'll punch through my laptop like that guy at the end. EDIT: My ad block is usually activated on my laptop but sometimes I turn it off if I'm watching a video from I creator I really like so I get exposed to all sorts of crap. I don't have it on my cellphone but I'm seriously considering using it because YT has become impossibly obnoxious with their ads (I don't wanna install YT Vanced because I'm afraid my phone will get infected with tons of malware).
Damn, it felt like i was watching a professional documentary on a serial killer, the tone of voice was so captivating, and the graphics were top quality. Super entertaining
Proper Psychological programming. They've learnt from the previous experience. They now treat you like a women. Focus on your looks your appearance your outside.

The only thing he’s good at making are paradoxes and cliffhangers. I might jump off a cliff if I hear someone bought his products.
in the actual video he says "it won't be this mf rabbit food you little bitch" and then he slams a tub of burn
I always found it hilarious how their “calorie deficits don’t work, cardio doesn’t work” ads popped up right around the time I had successfully lost significant weight from calorie deficit and exercise.
On top of that it's an example of the motte and bailey fallacy, using the statement that cardio and calorie deficits don't work (which has truth to it in the sense that they don't work for everyone especially if it's an insulin or stress issue), and they use that relatively grounded statement to try to legitimize their insane statement that eating pizza and taking this pill will make you lose weight and get jacked lol
bro SAME. I'm just glad I knew better before this idiot's ads popped up in my feed
It’s literally impossible to lose fat without a calorie deficit, anyone who has ever lost fat has been in a calorie deficit, any diet that works for fat loss works because it creates a calorie deficit
Lost 20 pounds in a month and a half by cutting out beer drinking and eating one meal a day with light snacks in early-mid morning. As soon as you get over a shitty week, it gets better.
Telling me that putting the fork down and stop drinking won’t get me out of trouble since it was what got me in trouble is a load of crap.
yea but u have to be careful to not eat too low calories otherwise the body will start blocking the weight loss process and will consume way less energy and start storing fat.
Some people think that the lower calories you eat the more you lose weight, which is wrong and dangerous. at max you have to eat 500 less calories than you burn, no more.
I am so happy that I have accidentally watched a video for exposing him and researched and found this one, because recently they have bombarded me with advertisements and I have sometimes wondered if I should check their program and what they are offering. But now I am glad that I didn’t. Thanks 🙏🏻
I myself enjoy working out, primarily body weight exercises. But why would I want to fall for the scams of weight loss? I'm interested in GAINING weight since I'm almost comparable to the skinny guy in the old Charles Atlas ads from comic books who gets sand kicked in his face by the infamous beach bully.

V shred s videos in a nutshell:
"Yeah, so basically, almost, you have the, actually, triceps, no, stretching the cable, biceps,uh,...cardio, body type, yes, take the body type quiz NOW
And signup for my free workout plan which tells you shit you already know and boom you get with that "pay 100 bucks now to reach your body goals"
In the ads about body type, he talks for like, 40 minutes like this: "Yes, in this video, we will present you with the key to the best shape you've ever had. This secret is so awesome and never thought about before, and we will tell you in a minute"
*40 minutes later*
*bulshit*
*keeps beating around the bush*
*doesnt say it*

“I eat like shit, and look like this, take my body type quiz”

good question?
@Charles Please include a reference on this, because nowhere has anyone said this. The only possibility of losing muscle from cardio is doing it too much without complementary weight training and proper nutrition, losing muscle from slow pace cardio is pure bullshit.

You need some form of cardio to boost your metabolism or you'll hit a wall.
@@cemarz you lower calories but don't go too low
@Boruch Ber People should still eat what they want but LESS and avoid binge eating. Crash diet or forcing yourself in a specific diet would just backfire in the long run, not everyone has the discipline to maintain so anyway. Exercising and not binge eating is the key to losing weight gradually in my opinion, gradual weight loss is the best way rather than crashing yourself and end up going back to the usual habits of eating when they have achieved their weight.
And supplement v shred BURN.
@Boruch Ber Yeah, I read Zuby's Strong Advice fitness book and he preaches this very thing - you need to go into a caloric deficit, you need to strength train and do cardio, but most importantly - you need to go into a caloric deficit. He's also big about not being on your phone when you're in the gym.

“Why the bench press will never get your chest any bigger”
I don’t know how anyone in the fitness industry could say that and not know it’s utter bollocks.
BTW, the work and professionalism in this is bloody amazing. Subbed.
Really since my chest got more defined when I started my chest workout so when I saw comments like that I know people are full of it.
I headbutted the desk when he said that. What the hell is he on about?
It’s a psychological trick. Confident contrarians will always sound plausible and intriguing to any novice in any field.
Reacted at that too, bench press for me atleast was the only training i did for my chest a while and it was enough for growth.
This. I started off by doing push-ups when I didn't have much muscle on my chest. Now I'm doing bench presses and my muscles just keep on growing.
That is honestly one of the dumbest lies I've ever heard.

I actually remember seeing a bunch of his ads way back when I just started getting into working out. It's kinda unbelievable how accurate the advertisement algorithm has gotten, to the point it can distinguish the beginners from everyone else and drown them in ads.
Not hard to do really when a lot of people Google things like "how to start working out" and "workouts for beginners." Remember that TH-cam has been owned by Google for a while so every Google search you do is recorded and used to determine what you might want to watch when you get on TH-cam. We're literally telling them what we want word for word, there's no real magic in it. The rest is just how confident they are in the fact that we are beginners based on the number of times we do similar searches and how recent our searches were.
The amount of times that I’ve almost fallen into his scheme because of these ads. He had me convinced that I was doing everything wrong, and I just need to listen to him to lose weight
The ad algorithms are very very accurate. I don't remember when and where but at some point some store built an algorithm so they could target ads better. They got into trouble because they started recommending baby related ads to a 16 year old girl so they had to apologize. A few weeks later the girl's dad came in and told them he is sorry and the girl really is pregnant. The algorithm examined what she was buying and came to a conclusion that her shopping pattern is similar to the pattern of pregnant women. Data is pretty fascinating
I literally got an ad for V-Shred while watching this
Same

Same it was awesome
Yeah me too
Same
Athlean X is such a great channel. I am so thankful for the work their doing and knowledge they are sharing.
I still can’t believe that we get his content for free
Jeff is a hero
The fake weights guy - a Zero not Hero. Think you had a typo.
Red delta project isn't bad either
@@cactusmalone yup and gave me a fantastic home workout during the pandemic that helped me keep shape without weights. No one is perfect but he's got valuable insights
Thank you for this video. When I saw these V-Shred videos I knew something was not right and when he started selling those "burn" supplements I did some research on them and the side effects 😮 reminded me of those medication commercials they show on TV. When I was younger I struggled with my weight and was made fun of so I am no stranger to fat burning supplements. I took so many of those that it's a miracle I am still alive. My friend was a bodybuilder and she took fat burners... She had to get her gallbladder removed. Losing weight and keeping it off takes discipline. It can be done. I had several great personal trainers and I have learned a lot from them. You just have to do your research.
So this is the guy who is on almost every TH-cam ad. I didn’t even know his name until this video.
Yeah. His ads are so annoying.
Same here. I only heard his name from Doctor Greg making fun of hin, but I had no idea who he was nor what he looked like
He's the worst of the worst. Gives fitness a bad name.

The moment you know v shred was full of B-Shred (BS)
You don't need to do cardio to lose fat, it's not very effective for it actually it's mainly for cardiovascular health.
You just need to be in a calorie deficit(eating less calories than you burn), eating enough protein, and preferably lifting weights to help hold onto muscle while losing the fat.
@@deathdeath1381 its almost as if burning calories would increase the deficit
@@deathdeath1381 you can't burn more calories with lifting weights than doing cardio dum@ss
@@dgtsm9217 Yeah it would which isn't a good thing by the way you never want to do an extreme deficit unless you're around about 300 pounds give or take.
It's best to stay around 300-500 calorie deficit.
This is something all beginners need to see!!! I know I’ve been bombarded with his ads, I categorized them as scams and always skip them I didn’t realize to the extent of the problem. GREAT VIDEO!!
The fact that I clicked on this video and there was a v shred ad right before it was pure comedy 😂
I’d be rich if I had $1 for every one of his stupid ads I’ve gotten...
His ads show up everywhere it's really annoying
I got one of his ads on this Video
Same, there was a period when his ads would pop up non-stop and it annoyed the hell out of me. I'd get livid just seeing his face when he'd start uttering some outlandish bullshit. For some reason, I don't get his ads anymore. I hope it stays that way or I'll punch through my laptop like that guy at the end.
EDIT: My ad block is usually activated on my laptop but sometimes I turn it off if I'm watching a video from I creator I really like so I get exposed to all sorts of crap. I don't have it on my cellphone but I'm seriously considering using it because YT has become impossibly obnoxious with their ads (I don't wanna install YT Vanced because I'm afraid my phone will get infected with tons of malware).
I was in a zoom call and the host was streaming a TH-cam video for us and we got one of his ads
id be rich if I got a penny per ad lol
Damn, it felt like i was watching a professional documentary on a serial killer, the tone of voice was so captivating, and the graphics were top quality. Super entertaining
I swear fitness community is becoming more and more like the beauty community drama
Proper Psychological programming. They've learnt from the previous experience. They now treat you like a women. Focus on your looks your appearance your outside. Soon you'll be panicking like women that you have gained 3 grams of weight or have 1 grey hair or a wrinkle. The more macho on the outside the more fragile on the inside
Damn haha
It’s the male version of the beauty community
@@fcarter2941 absolutely
@@fcarter2941 Came here to say that
The saying “If it looks too good to be true, it probably is” has never been proven wrong! Thanks so much for this great video.
I was thinking about seeing what he had to offer, but luckily this popped up on my recommendations, you've honestly saved me wasting my time and money
