Weight loss is that its one of the most lucrative parts of the fitness industry. Where there is a fortune to be made, companies will gladly lie to make a buck. Here are the 7 things they are afraid to tell you about weight loss: Thanks for reading Scooby’s Substack! Subscribe for free to receive new posts.
Have been following you for a decade or so Scooby-- thank you for the straight talk and the great advice over the years. Looking forward to seeing you on substack!
Great topic on discussing depression and priorities. I’ve suffered depression for years and I’ve had to have the conversation with my MD of what’s more important to me, medication (giving me side effects such as major fatigue among other things 🙄 for years) or my fitness goals. I chose the latter. It may not be the best choice for everyone, but it’s what I prioritized. Although I still prioritize my therapy with my psychologist. THANK YOU for sharing!!
I think the point you don't deserve nothing is so important not only in fitness but also in achieving goals. " I'm going to take a break from my project because I deserve and been working a lot lately" I'm guilty of this too.
I have been following you on Youtube for at least 15 years. Thank you for all your work, you are an inspiration for a lot of people. Looking forward to reading you here!
Thank you Scooby for being such a decent chap. I have tried to sign up. Not sure that it has worked. I suffered with illness and your work helped me so much.
The point about food being too delicious really hits home with me. I love cooking delicious food, it is an interest of mine. Maybe I should get rid of that one. Priorities, priorities.
I started following you like 19 years back in my teens. I got into sports more and more and had a lot of fun. I am very happy you are back, i love how you at least back in the days focused on doing exercise while being careful of injury and warning about it .
I got back to you after a longer time as right now i have decided to again go back to strength training due to wanting to be a kickass older person. Able to life great grand children etc.
Thanks for being such a blessing to the exercise Community.
Hello Scooby, followed you 12 years ago on Youtube. You were my first introduction to weight Lifting and Training. So happy to see your Posts re-newed with your wisdom back!!!
Check with your local community college for mental health resources. They might have a free/low-cost program that allows you to talk with a mental health student. They need the practical experience and it's a good place to start or a way to supplement your other mental health resources. Sometimes, all you need is someone to listen.

My experience is that Mental & Emotional Health are key drivers of obesity. Rarely do obese people lack the knowledge of how to eat healthy, nor do they lack the desire to do so. Food Addictions or Eating Disorders are more challenging because there is no means to quit (cold Turkey), and the daily exposure to indulgent marketing.
Love the platform Scooby - been following you as a fan - for many years

Rock on. Your approach is rock solid and works like a Swiss clock. People truly lack patience when it comes to working hard, but have all the patience in the world when it comes to stacking fat - and when they do have the patience to work hard at fat loss, they go ahead and ruin it with the "i deserve it" attitude! Jesus, how many times did i use to do this.
Great to have you back Scooby. By the by what do you think of the modern Youtube fitness community? It seems to morph yearly, with everyone having a new astounding never-before-heard secret. Lol.
Glad your back in the mix mate. Life seems to have inspired you to get back in the information spreading game. Like the new newsletter, gradually picking my way through the early posts.
