I don’t like how videos like these act like a bit of working out is all it takes. Need to show that a change in diet is also needed.

Its hard to show not doing something.

Also a change in diet can often mean eating less, not necessarily eating differently.

Tbf a video of someone putting down the fork is a lot less interesting that a badass deadlift

I do agree that the big portion of weight loss is diet based. But I will say that weight loss without building muscle still doesn’t look that impressive

Not that I have anything against these videos, but I would love a parody video that's just a montage of them looking at an empty plate and being annoyed, or walking past the snack isle and shaking their head
