Can you give an example please? I watch Ben for a few years now and I have never noticed arogance. Maybe you mistake "you are full of shit" jokes with arrogance?
@@jvbcz Xenophobic idiots don't recognize the difference between a legitimate accent and a slight lilt some people get when speak arrogantly and somehow manage to conflate the two. That's pretty much the only thing I can think of that would make any of these idiots think this way.
Ben, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your content. I am a woman who has had a negative self-image and have tried everything from starving myself to exercising to the point of exhaustion because it’s hard not to compare myself to all of the “perfection” I am inundated with on a daily business in the media. I found your channel one day while trying to figure out if V-shred was a scam because it seemed too good to be true (it is, thanks for confirming)and it has been such a wake-up call to make me face how much I was buying into the bullshit . You are making a difference and I really appreciate you clearing the air on all of these fads and scams that don’t actually translate to being healthy. Fan for life!!!
You & your wife are both sensible & realistic people doing videos on a healthy lifestyle & debunking crap the weight loss industry is constantly pushing. I bought your book & am working my way through (with lots of highlighting), and I know I can trust you & your research. I am almost 60 & would like to lose weight, which isn't going to happen most likely. I am mostly trying to take better care of myself & live a more healthy life. You've helped me do that, so thank you! Please keep doing what you're doing. It's very needed. Oh, and congratulations to you & your beautiful wife on your marriage! I wish you both a lifetime of love & joy. ❤
Ben, whoever called you out is clueless. You have one of the best channels on TH-cam. Your videos are informative, honest, and positive. The kinds of people who take issue with you should be celebrating your content , not criticizing it. The person or persons who called you out are surely a minuscule minority of the population. Keep up the excellent work.
The fitness industry and social media in general could use more guys like you Ben. Unfortunately in both a lot of people are getting attention and/or are making money with BS. I guess people who actually know what they're talking about and can therefore smell the BS from far away are a threat to them and to their followers who prefer to be covered in fresh warm BS every now and then over someone telling them to put in some effort to climb out of it. Your content is very valuable to anyone who's doing their best to become or stay healthy and thus highly appreciated.
Your information is always solid and straight forward. You're one of the few fitness channels I subscribe because you deliver info with no BS and no sales pitch. Just short quality info that delivers the information. Thanks for all the free content. I hope the book sells well.
Haters are generally dumb and usually just jealous of the content they are hating on and looking for a magical shortcut to fat loss. You're content is perfect and accurate.
I can't speak for anyone else. I can only tell you that I appreciate the work you do. I feel better about myself after watching your videos. I laugh a lot. Thank you.
You are the best at explaining all the science and even talking about both sides without putting blame on anything or anyone. Please don’t ever stop for these idiots.
It sucks when ppl accuse content creators/entrepreneurs of selling out while expecting free shit and not giving anything to that creator, in this socio-econimic system. It's very leechy.
You have every right to profit off of years of acquiring knowledge and improving your method of presenting it. You provide value, and if some people want to buy your book to get more value and then pay you for it, that speaks in your favor, not against you.
Wouldn’t give a milli second thought to the person who called you out. Firstly the subject of fat loss is super common these days and education is key. The poster lives in dreamland if they so soft to not want to discuss this topic. Secondly…. Regarding the poster himself … There is an old adage: opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one 👊🏽
I discovered you, I'm pretty sure, with your German Volume Training video. You've always been a stand-up guy. As a fellow fitness industry person myself (ten years this year), you always seemed among the most concerned with helping people avoid being harmed in their fitness journey, being that there are so many scumbags, fraudsters, nutjobs, and stupid shitheads in this industry. So yeah. This "critic" of yours is just misguided. With any luck, they'll see this and realize their error
To foolish words, deaf ears, mate. Just keep informing, serving and rocking as always. Your content is fire, bro. Period. Science is on your side. Cheers & congrats for your book! 😎
You’ve helped me so much, Ben! I’ve made positive changes in my life because of the information you provide. I’m exercising more, eating better, not feeling guilty about eating, and I’ve even been ignoring societal expectations and doing what makes me happy. Thank you!
I read your book but I am not a verified purchaser because I borrowed it from the library. It was very helpful to me. Your book provides reasonable, sustainable advice. You tie weight and fat loss into the bigger picture of good health. You urge people to determine their big picture goals and then provide suggestions for reaching their goals and sustaining their achievements. All of that is praiseworthy, not objectionable.
Thank you. I know some people are not verified purchasers because they got it from a library. In the early days it wasn't possible (obviously it takes time for the book to be available once requested and then for someone to read it), but I am super happy it's available in libraries for more people to read for free. :)
His wedding speech in Korean did it for me. The love, commitment and humanity he expressed convinced me of his honesty, and I only came across him today (bought the book BTW).
Ben, all your videos are "must watch" for me. I've learned so much from your page over the last few years, and it has definitely one of the things that has helped me to have a better understanding of my body and more respect for it. I can more about being healthy (using working out to feel good) than I do about losing weight or changing my size, and that's been so freeing. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you so much. I am super happy that a lot of my fat loss content has helped you focus towards being healthy without being obsessive. That's a huge motivator for what I do :)
I just found your channel. I'm more interested in being healthy then weight loss. I found out a little over a year ago that the health issues that I've been experiencing the last 20+ years are all attributed to a condition called POTS
Your content is good, your intentions are good, you are not predatory, you offer quality advice that focuses on health without judgement or criticism. I'll say it because I know you can't - fuck anybody who intentionally misunderstands this.
I bought your book and it’s sooooo good!❤ People commenting or leaving bad reviews for your book, have not read it😂 Or they would know that it’s not what they think
I saw a video of you and your wife on reddit speaking korean and I liked it. The most voted comment there said your names and I came here looking for your channel. This is the first video I see here and I decided between that video on reddit and this one, I really like your personality so I guess I'll stick around and see what this channel is all about. Wish you the best. PS. I hope I made a clear comment and didn't made mistakes. English is not my first language.
Anyone who has read your book would not say the stuff he said. I legit have never read a more positive, science based book on fat loss that takes also takes into account the unique differences between us as people.
Thank you for the great content. Some people want to normalize obesity but obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes, hypertension, miocardial infarction, thombosis, heart failure, chronic joint pain, motor disabilities, and the list goes on. Obesity may be quite common but its not normal and should not be normalized.
I just found 5 year vid by you about a rice diet, would you or anyone in the comments recommend it as a way to try to lose weight fast? I am in the military but due to the course I am enrolled in I don't get time for excercise too often but have taken up a challenge program thing so will be running at minimum once a month, but I need to lose fat as well and need to change my food intake.
i like a lot of your content. what you think about for obese people to do a PSMF aproach for 12 weeks?(to go from obese to overweight(like if you have 40--50kg+ to lose, in this 12 weeks you could lose maybe half than do a maintence and than a diet))
You have a lot of people watching these videos. It’s an unfortunate reality that some of them are going to form uninformed opinions and spurt them out. You can’t avoid it. You are the only person who can judge yourself. You have to ignore the mindless noise. Nobody is forced to watch your videos or read your book. Responding to criticism only gives life to a nonsense criticism. Don’t let the idiotic 1% dominate the massive majority who see that you are as careful and thoughtful as you can be.
@@MRS320ablenot even close. He is a friend of mine and he has been making content for a few years, but hasn’t been in the industry as long as I have or making content for as long as I have
Ist nothing wrong with making a profit. Spreading ill advice and hurt people in order to make profit would be unethical. There a lot samples in YT. But to write a book of course is fine. What I see her in YT is good advice, specially because ist backed by science,
Ben is one of the few people on social media who actually seems genuine in his advice. Just the most civilised and educated content creator out there.
He is also very arrogant
Can you give an example please? I watch Ben for a few years now and I have never noticed arogance. Maybe you mistake "you are full of shit" jokes with arrogance?

Thank you for doing what you do.
Well said. How do you only have 51k subscribers? Because you don't do bullshit content, that's why. Keep doing what you are doing.
I do not need your book at this time, but would have bought it to support you. Hopefully this is as good a way.
I don't even know what to say. This is so kind. Thank you so much for being a lovely human. The world needs more of you.
@@BenCarpenter You’re very welcome. You and your wife have brought me lots of joy in consuming your content. Thank you for what you do!!!
I absorb A LOT of fitness content and have for years. Yours is absolutely one of the best! Drive on!
Thank you. I am glad you have found my content useful over the years!
You’ve helped me so much, Ben! I’ve made positive changes in my life because of the information you provide. I’m exercising more, eating better, not feeling guilty about eating, and I’ve even been ignoring societal expectations and doing what makes me happy. Thank you!

I just got your book yesterday and love it! Very eye opening and its making me look at my journey to health differently.
His wedding speech in Korean did it for me. The love, commitment and humanity he expressed convinced me of his honesty, and I only came across him today (bought the book BTW).

I mean this from the bottom of my heart…fuck em.
I think you do amazing work. I personally feel more educated to make my own decisions about what I want and what works for me. Thank you :)
Thank you so much. This is very kind
I'm new to the channel and find you incredibly level headed and I think you've mentioned the book only in maybe 5% of the videos I've seen 😂
I love that you say fat loss rather than weight loss
Anyone who has read your book would not say the stuff he said. I legit have never read a more positive, science based book on fat loss that takes also takes into account the unique differences between us as people.
Thank you. I am glad you found it useful, and interpreted my intentions of writing it in the first place :)
People are dickheads. I follow you and jordon syatt because you both have a no bs approach with really useful information.
Thank you very much. Also a big fan of Jordan Syatt. :)
I get it. But.......please don't think profit is a dirty word. It may mean you can create more time to inform and help people even more?
Thank you for the great content.

Hurts to see you being hated. Luv ya
What is your upcoming book? And when will it be released?
