There, you said it, "Consistently REAL"! Who wants that when we have V-Shred making fake videos and others lifting fake weights and making one FEEL GOOD!
Thank you for making these video's, I was in the military for 7 years and when I found another job my motivation for being in shape was gone. I have been working out, watching your video's and I feel ten times better. I will be turning 45 in august and feeling like 43 again. Thanks for doing what you do
Thank you so much for this content James. Yesterday you did the impossible and flicked a switch in my partner to make changes. I asked him to watch your video and actually pay attention to the message. He's big, so am I and I'm losing slowly but he scares me with his inactivity and eating habits. He has ptsd and depression and when he trys to get help for his weight or mental health he is told he's depressed because he's fat and he should 'not be sad', in reality he is fat because he's depressed with no coping mechanisms or support. After watching your video he had a completely different energy, he got on my treadmill and discussed doing a little more each day, ate a small snack rather than binging, was more present rather than hiding in his ps5 bubble. He made better decisions and talked about changes for the future. Oh I'm rambling but thank you. 'It's not your fault but it's your responsibility' really hit home with him, it was exactly what he needed to hear. Thank you 💜
@@JamesSmithPT you should be so proud! You got a 400lb bloke with mobility issues off the ps5, on to a treadmill talking about his future. This is the guy who I check if he's still breathing when he sleeps if I can't hear him because his size terrifies me. My next step is to get him to read book 1 😉
@Bnk he's doing really well. He now sees a dietician and has made loads of progress with his mental attitude about food. He's losing slowly and we're a great team. We're supporting each other and our overall health is improving. Getting the motivation to move is the hardest bit for him and he still has bad days but I'm so proud of him. Thanks for asking!
I was in a deficit for about 2 months of around 1800 a day (including weekends!) losing around 1kg a week, then I went up to 2300 a day and continued to lose weight, obviously at a slower rate. But, I feel so much happier, more energy and PR'ing everything in the gym. So far lost 39kg, now I'm at the really really slow phase of losing the last few kg of fat I don't want.
Easy to understand, not pretending to be cheerful, funny, backed up by science, push your product in a cheeky low key way, sometimes go off topic. You are just a likeable chap James!
Genuinely fascinating. Watched a lot of videos about weight loss etc. and this, and the others James does, are the most informative. Gave me a real insight into weight loss and calorie deficits work.
I find your content so informative because you cut out the BS and call out those who are full of c*ap. I’m a 40 year old female who is on a journey to undo a lifetime of mis-information, has lost years of my life punishing myself with cardio, and eaten a diet high in processed ‘health’ foods. I love your no-nonsense approach. I started strength training 3 months ago and I’m loving it! I am in the process of kitting out the garage - I have the motivation, I just need the knowledge to be safe and effective. I feel so energised and ready for life! I still feel like a novice so I always appreciate posts regarding form and adaptions to overcome limitations. I now need to start refining my diet so I can achieve some fat loss. I’d love to see some female specific content - how to train around hormones etc. Caloric deficit around the menstrual cycle. Or does training and diet even need to be adapted around the menstrual cycle? Is an intuitive approach best? If I’m feeling rubbish, just have a download week?
Your timing on this subject is spot on. I have started calorie deficit as I’ve piled weight on due to menopause. Getting massively ahead of myself, I was starting to think that if I didn’t eat enough my body would go into starvation mode. But now I know it’s BS! Thank you. And I love your videos and how you talk straight. No gimmicks
I really like how you are straight forward and give us the information we need without all the bullshit. Also how you help us understand the bullshit, so when bad influencers try to sell us gimmicks we don’t fall for it. Your honestly and bluntness is very much appreciated ❤ as a suggestion for future videos… more doggo 😂
No bullshit approach is what I like about your content. Very rare to come across these days especially when it comes to fitness and health related. Keep up the good work!
I’ve wondered about this for so long, I knew it didn’t make sense to me but didn’t know why because no one ever explained it properly until this video!
James I got to this a bit late mate (video is 8 months old) but I love the humour and the fact that you call out all the marketing crap that is out there. I used to subscribe to certain Men’s Health magazines😉 but found that the advice regularly contradicted itself from month to month which just caused confusion. Genuine facts, advice and support is much appreciated.
love the no BS, bit funny and actually has the most information I have found without having to go through text books. been a great help for me to thanks!
Don’t have a strong take on like or dislike, but I’d love to see a video about what goes into writing a book! Think it could be a great promo for the new book, but would be super interesting as someone who’s reading your first book.
I'm enjoying watching your videos. I just finished your not to diet book, and slowly, I'm listening to what you're saying and trying to implement your strategies suggestions
Honestly, the content is perfect. Busting the myths and explaining the truth in an easy to grasp way is exactly what I need. Motivating too , because simplified, it suddenly becomes manageable. So glad I’ve found you!!
About the question at the end of the video: i would appreciate to see more of you preparing meals (like the breakfast burrito of some days ago) Anyway, great content. Keep going!
I really like the no bullshit way that you approach things in these vids, it makes it seem really personal. Also, love the shots of "real life" through this like with the skateboarding and going to swim in the sea. I really look forward to starting my morning watching these and getting motivated for my day to make the right choices.
Brilliant! Your channel is my new favourite :) A PT I've used in the past and talk to on Watsapp frequently has been saying what you do on your channel for years, it's brilliant to see him being backed up by someone unrelated. No BS fitness truths! Sean Nalewanyj has a good channel talking no BS like yours.
These are great! What is helpful? 1. Science behind weight loss 2. Motivation/suggestions on how weight loss can be achieved e.g. 'tick two things that you do every day' 3. A little bit of insight into how you do this personally. The most important being the first two, for me.
Along with easy, informative and non deviating info, I also like the ‘taking us out and about’ should include more of that, nice to see different side of the world!
What I love is how quickly you get to the topic, how succinct you are, and no freaking drama with logos and StarWars bs music in the beginning. Some content on tips for people over 55 or sixty who are still active but need some tweaks versus what you younger blokes and gals are doing. Thanks James
I’m watching your videos while I lie in bed breathing with my mouth open suffering from COVID again I love your videos. You saved me 99 US dollars I was going to buy AG1 I just ate some apple slices. Keep doing the videos and I subscribed
Last few videos have been fantastic! Really enjoying the mixture of educational content and snippets of normal life, feels like a video representation of what you talk about in your books/ talks. 👍
love the variety of content...these short, informative, multidimensional straight shot visits talk to me in a recognizable, sensible language (also the levity required to maintain sanity). thanks for the assistance to this 75 year old's journey.
Loving the extended format - don’t get me wrong I think some of your Facebook stuff is good - sometimes very amusing! But we get more detail on this format - and see a different side of you. I’m learning more - and who doesn’t like seeing a bit of Sydney life ! And looking forward to seeing the dog !
ha ha! I went under 92 today, first time in a long time! Thanks for the content, I might fall off massively now and again, but your methods work, trust the system.
I'm really enjoying this series. Can't think of anything I would want you to do differently. I always watched your FB lives but I do like the RUclips format.
I appreciate the time and real consideration that you put in these videos. I'm soon to be 50 years young and I have a lot of weight to loose...50kg +. You're my starting point Mr Smith. Keep the videos coming.
For me this is one of your best videos. Partly because I learned you're a skater 😀 but also the information is given in a logical, scientific and straightforward way without dumbing it down too much but still being clear and simple, that takes skill. Funny as ever too
Mate, thank you for this content. You show me more than anything how important balance is. Even down to the vlogs I get a real sense of balance. You teach, you show us something lighthearted. You mythbust, you have a laugh. You provide us with a gym tutorial, you have a chat with us. I’ve just started my journey into finding my personal fitness goal and achieving it but so far I have your channel to thank for the inspiration and understanding to do it right and do it healthily. Keep it up bud, you won’t find a negative from me so far.
Thank you for all the honest, free advice. I really appreciate it. I've heard so many different things that it all became so confusing until now. Thanks again.
I just love your honest no nonsense no BS attitude and delivery. My son has just qualified as a PT, he has a similar attitude to you and helped me loose 15lbs of weight I gained during menopause. We're coming to see you in Edinburgh in Sept. As a young man just starting out on his career I'm sure your next book and show will be hugely beneficial. Keep the videos coming......
I’d love to see more content on women’s health and weight affected by hormones and PCOS and such. As a women, it’s hard to find good and reliable information, even from doctors. 🙏please and thank you!
Tremendous quality again, love everything about them. As a 🇨🇦, i totally get the Celsius refences but have little clue of KG or Metres (I am old, we switched half way through elementary school, messed me up) Not sure why i shared that but i did. Great video.💪
Brilliant, you explain everything so we'll so it's easy to understand and it doesn't leave me confused (you make the videos fun too). When I first found you I had come from another plan which left me completely lost and confused not knowing how to carry on, I emailed you about it and you got straight back to me which I really appreciate. I now know what I'm supposed to be doing and how to do it alone (without a plan) Thanks James you're Awesome 👍
What I like? That you give informative information. Promote a natural healthy lifestyle. Things like your little skateboarding thing in this vid. What a great little tip. Incorporating different ways to live a healthy lifestyle. I.e not just all about gym.
Hey James you're the first person I've seen that in the fitness industry that has introduced the importance of NEAT in weight loss and just good health in general. Thanks for clearing all the bullshit up one step at a time
loved the skateboarding content, I used to skateboard every single day to school, college and uni. Now I am an adult with a car I barely skateboard unless I go to the skatepark, I will definitely try to use skateboarding as a fun way to increase my deficit other than just the gym
Hello from Idaho! I have followed you for awhile; love your humor and matter of fact manner when you call out the falsehoods other fitness influencers spew. I ended up at this video because I’ve been subsisting on 1200 calories per day for the past 5 months, yet this past week my weight went up two pounds so I of course was freaking out. This video really helped me to understand what is more than likely going on. I really like content that explains things with facts rather than buzz words or pseudoscience. Thank you for all you do!
I have bad news for you, and a solution. You are going to gain the weight back. This is what the evidence actually says. Once you gain it back and I have been proven correct, hopefully you will check out my ideas and lose the fat permanently. I can show you how to do this...
Great vid man structured well with the board type section then skateboard interval it worked well to make me not lose enthusiasm as can happen with classroom type teachings
Loving the vlog-style content. I feel like it sinks in a bit more for me but also nice to see a bit more of your personality come through as you said in another video.
The amount of information you can get into a short video is amazing. In addition to that you have a way of making the information easy to understand. Keep up the good work…
Great content as usual, what I like the most is that your videos are bite size so anyone who’s completely green to nutrition and fitness will find these easy to understand. I’m a recently graduated nutritionist (soon to be starting a uni degree/masters in dietetics) and these videos would be great for me to show clients just for that extra clarification, they’re quick and just get to the point, which I love. The knowledge base I have between you and the study I’ve done so far and what I’ve been doing the last 6 years on my own will influence how I interact with prospective clients (I lost 60kgs on my own from 2016 to 2019 but gained 20 back during lockdown but I’ve lost 13 of that 20) so thank you!
I just love have easy you make it to understand all the science behind it all. I recently signed up to a plan on your app and I’m absolutely loving it and feeling really good and strong 👍🏻 Would love to see more day in the life videos but keep doing what you are doing as it’s fab!
Well done on making a break in the middle of the video showing yourself skateboarding to work :) Nothing negative to report yet. Love your book too. read both and member of your academy for couple months years ago.
Great video. Love understanding the science of weight loss. I also really like when you explain what drugs people cheat with to lose weight - it actually inspires me to know that not everyone is 'playing fair' and gives me a more realistic target
Hi James, loving the no BS content. I recently consulted a PT on the exact same topic. I basically I found that I've been living in a deficit for a loooong time, but still have areas of fat. I'm training 4-5 times a week n all that so I was somewhat confused. Basically, his answer was I was that my prolonged caloric deficit has caused an imbalance in my hormones (not enough testosterone, too much estrogen), and triggered the 'starvation 'mode'. The answer: My HIIT and Circuit Training should be changed to Resistance Training, and I should increase my 1600 cal diet to 2600. Would love to know your thoughts on this...
Thanks for the videos, im an experienced gym goer and play rugby! I know the basic principles of caloric deficits and maintenance but the simplification your videos provides has broadened my knowledge and allowed me to speak to others about it easily too, cheers
How hasn’t someone explained this as simply as this before now???? This is awesome. I really enjoy the videos. Can’t think of a way to improve them. The bits in between like the skateboarding or airing out the budgie smugglers breaks it up well so it’s not just a big scientific punch in the face (although what you say it’s totally understandabe) nice 👍🏻
Quick comment on your vid fornat and quality: was stuck to the screen for the whole vid 😂 as I'm sure you know from your recent diagnosis (congrats btw) watching youtube with ADHD means I often get distracted so I really appreciated the skate break, the simple verbiage and not reiterating the same points 5000 times or padding out the run time with pointless cliffhangers. Very informative, bite-size content and I can't wait for you to cover more topics!
Love the content and now with the added drawings when needed/necessary, love that it's informative and basic/easy to understand, you're not throwing big words around just to sound smarter... The "in the life of" parts threw me off a bit in the first couple of vids but am use to it now, so no dislikes so far... Honestly, always quality!!
James, I’ve never left a RUclips comment in my life…You good man have just taken my cherry! I can’t thank you enough for this. I’m a newly qualified PT and although I’ve never really fed into the whole idea of starvation mode, I did want to get my head around this and AT so I can discuss it confidently. I asked this question on 1 of your IG ‘ask me a question’/story the other day, it might be coincidence that you’ve made this video but if you’ve done it off the back of my question (& im sure others might have asked) well done sir. Thanks again. Keep up the good work. 🤙🏽
Really enjoy the videos and most of your content. I like the fact you're honest and informed and passing on knowledge for free and without endorsements. I don't like the fact there was an advert for Burger King below the video but I guess that's out of your control 🤣
I love your content, found you on TikTok and so glad that I did! Honestly I enjoy every part of the youtube content you make. I really like how you add in parts of your life with the advice and education, not something I've seen a lot of on other channels, keep up the amazing work and thank you for everything you're doing! Also, your commute into work on that skateboard is gorgeous!
Great video James. Short, to the point. Nice little break up of a quite scientific content with some refreshing visuals. I'd love to see some workout content
Great stuff. Since you asked, I kind of like it when the educational stuff is separate from the day in the life stuff. Sometimes its distracting when I'm trying to digest the information you're presenting. But in this particular video I liked it because the activity of skateboarding to work to keep up your NEAT went along with what you were talking about, so it wasn't distracting and enhanced the content.
How has this guy not got millions of subs? Consistently REAL, good content.
I know!! His page is great

What I like? That you give informative information. Promote a natural healthy lifestyle. Things like your little skateboarding thing in this vid. What a great little tip. Incorporating different ways to live a healthy lifestyle. I.e not just all about gym.
Hey James you're the first person I've seen that in the fitness industry that has introduced the importance of NEAT in weight loss and just good health in general. Thanks for clearing all the bullshit up one step at a time
loved the skateboarding content, I used to skateboard every single day to school, college and uni. Now I am an adult with a car I barely skateboard unless I go to the skatepark, I will definitely try to use skateboarding as a fun way to increase my deficit other than just the gym
Hello from Idaho! I have followed you for awhile; love your humor and matter of fact manner when you call out the falsehoods other fitness influencers spew. I ended up at this video because I’ve been subsisting on 1200 calories per day for the past 5 months, yet this past week my weight went up two pounds so I of course was freaking out. This video really helped me to understand what is more than likely going on. I really like content that explains things with facts rather than buzz words or pseudoscience. Thank you for all you do!
I have bad news for you, and a solution. You are going to gain the weight back. This is what the evidence actually says. Once you gain it back and I have been proven correct, hopefully you will check out my ideas and lose the fat permanently. I can show you how to do this...
Great vid man structured well with the board type section then skateboard interval it worked well to make me not lose enthusiasm as can happen with classroom type teachings
Recovery?.. like a breakdown of why, how and when. Videos are awesome 👌🏽
Loving the vlog-style content. I feel like it sinks in a bit more for me but also nice to see a bit more of your personality come through as you said in another video.
The amount of information you can get into a short video is amazing. In addition to that you have a way of making the information easy to understand. Keep up the good work…
Blunt..No BS and educational. Keep up the good work lad 💪👍
Great content as usual, what I like the most is that your videos are bite size so anyone who’s completely green to nutrition and fitness will find these easy to understand. I’m a recently graduated nutritionist (soon to be starting a uni degree/masters in dietetics) and these videos would be great for me to show clients just for that extra clarification, they’re quick and just get to the point, which I love. The knowledge base I have between you and the study I’ve done so far and what I’ve been doing the last 6 years on my own will influence how I interact with prospective clients (I lost 60kgs on my own from 2016 to 2019 but gained 20 back during lockdown but I’ve lost 13 of that 20) so thank you!
Stumbled across a video ages ago where you explained t2 diabetes in simple terms, can’t find it now. Love to see a new video on it
Excellent, I definitely slow down in a deficit
I just love have easy you make it to understand all the science behind it all. I recently signed up to a plan on your app and I’m absolutely loving it and feeling really good and strong 👍🏻
Would love to see more day in the life videos but keep doing what you are doing as it’s fab!
This was proper interesting. Simple explication.Thank-you.
I like the information you put in your videos
Well done on making a break in the middle of the video showing yourself skateboarding to work :) Nothing negative to report yet. Love your book too. read both and member of your academy for couple months years ago.
Love the living life while being educated parts thanks love for great content
Great video. Love understanding the science of weight loss. I also really like when you explain what drugs people cheat with to lose weight - it actually inspires me to know that not everyone is 'playing fair' and gives me a more realistic target
Keep your vids short and to the point like you have been 👏🏻anything over 9 or 10 mins and I usually scroll past 🙈😀 Thumbs up for your content 😎
You're a good bloke. Cheers fella.
Would love longer vids with more bts of your work life!
Hi James, loving the no BS content.
I recently consulted a PT on the exact same topic. I basically I found that I've been living in a deficit for a loooong time, but still have areas of fat. I'm training 4-5 times a week n all that so I was somewhat confused.
Basically, his answer was I was that my prolonged caloric deficit has caused an imbalance in my hormones (not enough testosterone, too much estrogen), and triggered the 'starvation 'mode'. The answer: My HIIT and Circuit Training should be changed to Resistance Training, and I should increase my 1600 cal diet to 2600.
Would love to know your thoughts on this...
Thanks for the videos, im an experienced gym goer and play rugby! I know the basic principles of caloric deficits and maintenance but the simplification your videos provides has broadened my knowledge and allowed me to speak to others about it easily too, cheers
How hasn’t someone explained this as simply as this before now???? This is awesome. I really enjoy the videos. Can’t think of a way to improve them. The bits in between like the skateboarding or airing out the budgie smugglers breaks it up well so it’s not just a big scientific punch in the face (although what you say it’s totally understandabe) nice 👍🏻
Quick comment on your vid fornat and quality: was stuck to the screen for the whole vid 😂 as I'm sure you know from your recent diagnosis (congrats btw) watching youtube with ADHD means I often get distracted so I really appreciated the skate break, the simple verbiage and not reiterating the same points 5000 times or padding out the run time with pointless cliffhangers.
Very informative, bite-size content and I can't wait for you to cover more topics!
Love the content and now with the added drawings when needed/necessary, love that it's informative and basic/easy to understand, you're not throwing big words around just to sound smarter... The "in the life of" parts threw me off a bit in the first couple of vids but am use to it now, so no dislikes so far... Honestly, always quality!!
Love it
Educational with a hint of David Brent
James, I’ve never left a RUclips comment in my life…You good man have just taken my cherry!
I can’t thank you enough for this. I’m a newly qualified PT and although I’ve never really fed into the whole idea of starvation mode, I did want to get my head around this and AT so I can discuss it confidently.
I asked this question on 1 of your IG ‘ask me a question’/story the other day, it might be coincidence that you’ve made this video but if you’ve done it off the back of my question (& im sure others might have asked) well done sir.
Thanks again. Keep up the good work. 🤙🏽
Really enjoy the videos and most of your content. I like the fact you're honest and informed and passing on knowledge for free and without endorsements. I don't like the fact there was an advert for Burger King below the video but I guess that's out of your control 🤣
I love your content, found you on TikTok and so glad that I did! Honestly I enjoy every part of the youtube content you make. I really like how you add in parts of your life with the advice and education, not something I've seen a lot of on other channels, keep up the amazing work and thank you for everything you're doing! Also, your commute into work on that skateboard is gorgeous!
Great video James. Short, to the point. Nice little break up of a quite scientific content with some refreshing visuals.
I'd love to see some workout content
Stuff like this is why I subscribe!!
Great stuff. Since you asked, I kind of like it when the educational stuff is separate from the day in the life stuff. Sometimes its distracting when I'm trying to digest the information you're presenting. But in this particular video I liked it because the activity of skateboarding to work to keep up your NEAT went along with what you were talking about, so it wasn't distracting and enhanced the content.
