The fact that the author writes for supplement companies actually earned him less credibility from me from the start. I'm not saying that the entire video was rubbish - there were a lot of "correct" facts, but there was a load of crap salt and peppered in there. I actually listened to both videos in their entirety, a few of the good/bad highlights.
Good points:
-it's all about diet (it is)
-appropriate weight loss rate 1-2lbs a week
-weighing in once a week
-problems with carbohydrates too low (poor workouts)
-Omega-3 fatty acid facts: they're good
-3-5 days resistance training a week
Bad Points:
-4 to 5 meals a day (false)
-carbs "make or break" abs (false - that's calorie balance over time)
-complex vs simple carbohydrates (wrong - once again, it's all about calories)
-limit your fruit intake to only and immediately after workout (lol)
-insulin spikes (lol)
-dietary fat from specific sources (not as big a deal as the OP would like you to believe)
-50% of your calories from protein is overkill (at 2000 calories per day that's ~250 grams of protein - too much)
-pretty much
EVERYTHING in the 'supplement' portion (aside from multivitamin): Is this guy getting kickbacks/perks from the industry?
-BCAAs (...lol)
-OEP burning fat in "problem areas"
Overall, I give the author a C+. All the important facts were included (good points), but there were just too many inclusions from the textbook of brosciencology to rate it any higher. The entire section about the supplements felt like someone was trying to sell me a specific, unnecessary product. My critique will likely be ignored as the person seems to be deeply in bed with the industry.
The trick to getting abs and definition is a lot simpler than most people would like you to believe:
-dietary deficit over time (calories in vs calories out)
-a diet that hits minimum recommendations for macronutrients
-resistance weight training
-patience
-time
All the other rubbish is precisely that: rubbish.
