REACTING TO ITV's SAVE MONEY LOSE WEIGHT!

[Music] sorry I had a sudden urge to cough sorry you ready yeah hi everyone hello welcome to another juicy Vlog today we are sitting down again we are sat down yeah we are sat down we're not vlogging so today we are talking about a program that was on ITV recently we watched this program and we watching mean to watch it we're watching it like we can't believe our eyes so we just had to make a video to talk about it talk about some of the things we were thinking whilst watching it and we're not the only ones doing this like Twitter went crazy so we didn't mean to watch this program we made a nice healthy dinner as you do in January we then went to sit in the lounge to eat it we put the TV on we got always quite a healthy TV program on let's watch that get inspired it's about dieting or like eating healthy this program is called save money lose weight on ITV it was on from 8: until 9:00 on Thursday the 5th of January let's just say we don't agree with any of it we were also saying we find it funny that in January like December adverts are all like oh indulgent food this is what how you can make this this is a chocolate cake then by the time you get to January it's oh my God stop eating chocolate get your gym membership out this is dieting this is what you need to do and we've seen loads and loads of programs like it recently about dieting about different ways to lose weight it's a commercial world so the first issue we have is the title save money lose weight now save money fine why would you want to lose weight now for some people in some cases this this again this video probably isn't generic this won't work for everyone in my opinion and your opinion health professionals opinions I hope losing weight isn't how you want to be when you go to the gym you're exercise and you're eating well you'll be gaining more muscle from doing this exercise and muscle as everyone says muscle weighs more than fat so technically you shouldn't really be wanting to lose the weight you should just be wanting to gain muscle or tone up or feel Slimmer the wording is just not right it should be lose fat yeah we totally understand why it TV named it that it's going to get viewers in it's a shame because there's been a lot of work done recently like Joe Wix people like that they've done some really really good work training people on how to think like don't count calories it's not about low calories it's not about losing weight it's not about going on a certain diet it's about having a good diet all the time your diet should be good you should eat clean it's it's a it's a lifestyle thing ITV are just they've gone into ATT track that mass audience and you know completely understand why they've done it cuz they want to get all they care about is ratings they want to get their ratings up but it's not fair on people that I say uneducated I don't mean as in like not intelligent I mean uneducated in that subject in that topic of Health and fitness and we know we know we're not like oh we've got six packs and we sit here we don't ever eat takeaways we do we're like everyone else but we're not preaching but we're not there saying you should go on these diets because we don't agree with them and ITV were kind of they'll probably defend themselves by saying they were just showing samples of each diet at the same time they didn't give any overall advice on which one was better or the best one no they did that's that comes to the second issue so issue number two for me is about the different diet plans and the way they measured which one was best so the Six diet plans they went through were let's see if I can remember them paleo which is like which is eating like a lot of meat a lot of veg a lot of fruit but no carbs am I right leaning 15 by Joe Wix which is what we use a lot and and that's all about eating fresh healthy food and exercising and eating from the earth and making everything from scratch as opposed to having processed stuff then you've got lighter life is it called which is like um they're like saet that you add like I honestly I don't know how it works basically yeah and you just mix it up and eat it and it looks exactly diet Chef which is the one that's like ready meals and they I say ready meals they make that the food is already there ready made for you and it gets delivered your house and you heat it up and eat it you don't know what's gone into it a juicing diet which is when you replace a couple of meals a day with juices and lastly the 52 diet which is when you eat normally for 5 days you run about 1,600 calories depending on the person and then you have about 600 calories for your two fasting days we think it's really good that ITV actually listed all these out they put them out there they put six people on a diet each and explain the results but they've really really missed a trick here they had this was a really good opportunity they completely missed the point to measure the results of this diet they firstly looked at how much weight people lost that was the number one measurement and the second measurement was how much money it cost to lose each pound so they measured how much the diet was per week and then worked that out to how many pounds they lost and then did so many pounds per pound if that makes sense so this was like completely missing the point because the one that came out best was the shake one right life yeah so I think or one of the most price efficient was the meal replacement the shakes the powder that you put in a shake and then you drink it and ITV said this is the cheapest one you're going to lose the most weight it said nothing about health it said nothing about how these people feel I think they really missed a trick here in my opinion if you're putting yourself in meal replacement you're not enjoying your food I might be wrong I personally I can't stand here and preach and say I don't like lighter life I've never tried it I don't know enough about it to be able to be saying this but I know that it's not going to be the same as eating fresh food every day and exercising because on top of all of that they don't talk about exercise either and although they say 80% of your sort of health is made in the kitchen is that right yeah or 70% so there is a figure exercising is still really important and you can sit there and eat fresh food every single day and sit on your bum all day not do anything maybe you'll feel like better than eating rubbish all day but if you're not getting up and moving and exercising there was very very little mentioned in this show about exercising and stuff that apart from leaning 15 actually obviously Joe recommends 20 minutes hit a day or whatever when you're starting out on the Leaning 15 program the real problem is you should be eating good food to be healthy there was no mention of Health they didn't ask these people how they felt during the research you could see it they were filming themselves like tired and not feeling well and if you're hungry still after eating and you feel you've got no energy which yes sometimes when you go from having a really poor diet to a really healthy diet you will feel that but when it's constant and you just feel rubbish you need need to be eating more you need to be eating slightly differently everyone is different you can't just say I'm going to eat exactly this from this recipe book and that's going to make me feel better because you are different everyone is different it comes back to people wanting a quick fix for health and there's no such thing there's all these diets to take pick off the shelf you pay your money a lot of it frustrates us which is part of the reason we're making this video if you want to be healthy just eat food you don't need to just eat you don't need to buy these diets and pay these people you really don't at the end of the day I think you're going to save money by doing that instead of having to pay for these Mill replacement shakes or for diet Chef when they make all your food for you yes it might be more expensive than your normal food shop if you go and buy more fresh stuff than like frozen breaded chicken or whatever you buy I don't know I think if you work out it's either going to be cheaper or it'll be very similar to your normal food shop and remember before I can I can imagine us getting some comments in this video but remember everything we're saying is our opinion we've done research like we are not experts at all no but this is just our opinion surely life is about feeling good being healthy eating fresh food the Earth has provided everything we need to sustain as a race everything is out there like proteins plants the food industry it's a whole it's a whole other topic but become so commercial everything's a product now yeah and a lot of people were saying this is point three a lot of people have been saying that it's so expensive that they can't afford to feed their families that way yes I understand you wouldn't want to I wouldn't want to give children a lighter Life diet obviously people have been saying that it's so expensive um doing things like the paleo diet or which I personally wouldn't do cu no carbs but love your carbs let's just talk about L 15 for second it's not a diet it's really not it's just fresh healthy meals yes initially you buy the 3 months and you do have to pay for it yeah but it's teaching you how to rethink about food and think about fresh food and cooking your own meals you don't have to do that you can if you wanted to go sort of like like Salon with it yes you by the plan and Joe sends all yourself through but what we do is we've got the cookbooks and we've got him on Instagram he's got his like blog and things and we literally just get recipes from there we take his advice we cook in the same way as he does we cook similar meals like I was saying before it's not totally different to how we would normally cook but we just change certain things like tweet some meals he makes he may have like spinach instead of rice like as your extra and it's fine like it's really tasty and it's things like that that like you were saying it retes you it gets a whole diet thing out the window doesn't it and it's like he encourages you to have fats but healthy fats avocado nuts and things like that just to give us as an example our weekly food shop for the last couple of weeks since we've been really healthy in January £32 a week yeah and that's nothing and we've had meat every evening so we've had like chicken or like f fish yeah and vegetables and a amount of carbs we've had fresh lunches every day we've had like cuscus we've had soup we've had Nutri bullets with juices we've had loads of different things like fresh eggs for the morning and we've not been like holding back and having like cheap things like it's been like everything we want but it's just kind of basic is food yeah £32 a week is ridiculous for two people how much is that each £16 for S days per person and that's breakfast lunch and dinner and I'm not showing off for anything obviously that's cheap actually yeah that's cheap that is really cheap we're we're not showing off or anything like that it's just the fact that just it can be done it doesn't have to there's all these things that are so expensive out but if you just want to be healthy and you're not buying into alls ands that are there and you genuinely want to be healthy like we want to try and be um then you can do it so as we said guys we aren't the only ones reacting to this yes oh sorry if we going to punch me we're not the only ones who share the same thoughts as soon as it happened I took to Twitter as I do when things are a bit controversial go on the hashtag save money lose weight and it was mad like it was literally like a minute after the program finished and they'd announced that um Li life one and leaning 15 and paleo were last so it's literally gone crazy so I'm going to read some out now and like share other people's opinions with you so no one has heard of fresh fruit vet I can't speak and I read out loud sorry guys fresh fruit veg meat and exercise everyone wants results without working for it take responsibility how the hell did they spend over £600 on leaning 15 would love to hear Joe Wick's thoughts H let's have a look Sarah I do not believe in any diet plan all about a good balance and plenty of exercise thumbs up emoji cucumber Emoji Banana Emoji wet Emoji # save money lose one more # money lose weight are you kidding me recommend probably the most dangerous diet in the country well done the thing is there's part of us that thinks that ITV may have done this on purpose and they wanted to spark a reaction cuz it's getting people talking about it it's getting people like us making videos about it people will probably now go and watch the show everyone's tweeted they've heard about it it gets the word out there so they may have just done it on purpose yeah we are saying this all but apparently I think was it next week let's have a look one next week saying save money got laptop here save better health or something it has something to health it do you remember so we're hoping they're going to redeem themselves but on this show alone I don't know how many viewers ITV gets but it's obviously a lot it's like a step backwards to change people's way thinking about food and thinking about dieting and fresh food and stuff and to me it just it just was like something from 10 years ago so let us know if you saw the show guys comment below your thoughts and opinions go on the hashtag on Twitter have a look through don't think we're nasty people either as we said a couple of things we're not experts these are just our opinions we just wanted to say what a lot of other people are kind of thinking if you have done lighter life or Diet Chef let us know what it's like let us know how it made you feel we are interested we're not just saying don't ever do that we want to know what it's like in our opinion like eating fresh fruit and vegetables and meats and stuff is a lot better than putting a bit of powder in a shake and then drinking that I don't know I don't know I don't know again we're not experts we don't know enough about it but this is our opinion we just wanted to start a conversation so let's continue it in the comments see what you guys have to say about it and we'll go from there if you enjoyed this kind of video guys also let us know in the comments and give it a big thumbs up if you enjoyed watching it and we will see you next time oh subscribe if you're new we'll see you soon bye [Music]
