ITT: Fitness/Health fads from the past
Every 40yo mom had one of these
>>77569528P90 was cringe but I wouldn't really call it a "failed" fad. Getting people to sweat is pro health no matter how cringe the program is. Movement is movement.
>>77569539failure isn't a prereq to postwish I could remember p90x's less intense sibling
>>77569524Keto!!!!
>>77569539Thats not how you use quotation marks
>>77570506Actually you're wrong.
>>77569524Low carb and low fat
>>77570511I still dont know how they got away with the whole "fat in your food is the first to turn into bodyfat" thing
>>77569528p90x was fucking based and almost everyone who did it was happy with their results in fact most of the faggot on this forum would greatly benefit from it>various forms of movement>mix of cardio and strength>low time commitment>very little equipment requiredthis is how i looked after doing it back in 2010
>>77570506Quotation marks aren't words. Nice try sounding smart though.
>>77570545Who's "they"? I don't recall anyone ever saying this or people believing this end masse?
>>77570688U 2 young to remember
>>77570634Were you the weirdo that ate raw pork that posted back then
>>77569524Everyone had tae bo
>>77569524These were delicious. They still make the tastiest protein shakes.
>>77571371So nobody then. Gotcha.
>>77572908>he hasn't reduced his AIDSISHYGDDT
>>77572352>Stacker 2 is an energy supplement company developed by NVE Pharmaceuticals in 1997. It got its name from "Stacking" which was what bodybuilders routinely engaged in by stacking and ingesting Ephedrine HCL, caffeine and aspirin to acquire more energy for a workout.So it's not the world's strongest far burner!™. I guess it has the right color at least.
>>77573090What
>>77570545people are insanely dumb about nutrition. you can convince them of basically anything because they simply dont stop and consider how it might actually work.
>>77573090>Ephedrine HCL, caffeine and aspirin to acquire more energy for a workoutholy fuck what? man the 90s were a different time
>>77574429
>>77569542I believe it was called INSANITY, or some such
>>77574360DNP is yellow
>>77572908>chocolate flavour fudge typewut
Only 30's kids will remember Pervitin. I guess it's not a fad because it actually worked so well that they made it illegal
>>77574884not really, 90s kids remember this shit. used to snort rails off the toilet in school

>>77570545>the whole "fat in your food is the first to turn into bodyfat" thingthat is literally how it worksyour body is always attempting to to follow the least energy intensive biomechanical processesthe composition of your bodyfat will mirror the types of fat you eatassuming a caloric surplusif your body wants to turn carbs or protein into fat, it first has to convert them to fat which is a process requiring extra labor and energyif your body wants to turn fat into fat, it's a much simpler processyour body will always prefer to use protein for muscle synthesis before using it for energy or fat storage, carbs for energy before using them for fat storage, and fat for fat storage before using it for energy
Raw veganism/fruitarianism from the early 2010s
>>77569528>>77569539>>77570634p90x relies on someone being somewhat fit and having decent cardio to begin with otherwise they spend all the time just building up
>>77569524there are several different brands that do the same thing now.
>>77569524Eating meat.
>>77575075true but this was back in 2010 when even "out of shape" people could still sprint up a hill the good part of the program was how easy it was to adjust the intensity, skip certain workouts, or simply take breaks because it was about accomplishing the workout/video and not MUH PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD
>>77572352Kinda nutty that we used to have a DNP general.
>>77574932The fat you eat is the fat you wear thing is real. Body will rather store fat as fat than anything else or using it as an energy source. Carbs are used for energy and replenishing glycogen and body will basically burn it off as a heat long before it even considers storing it as a fat because it's highly inefficient.
>>77574893They still give em out I think, I had them in 2016. If I would've known that these are valuable, I would've sold em for profit.
>>77569535Need to bring it back.
>>77569535OH LAWDY THAT LADY IS HOOOOOT
every boomer couple had one of these in their bedroom covered with clothes in the 90s kek
>>77574865Fudge for the fudge packers
>>77574940Didn't the bitch die? Sucks because she looks really fucking hot, and had a ton of potential.
>>77572908https://youtu.be/Up0HiH4yCYw?si=5UOP4wQhdji7jQmb>Ayds helped me lose 46 pounds!Imagine having a great idea, a product that is selling well for 40+ years... you're on top of the world, then suddenly some queer disease ruins your business. They tried to rebrand but it was over. Maybe they should have just leaned into it.>Thin, flamboyantly gay guy at a party>two people watching him from across the room>[A] Michael is looking really slim... oh dear, he didn't get AIDS did he?>[B] no, he just got Ayds!>[V.O.]:Michael always practices safe sex, and takes Ayds when he's feeling hungry so he can stay lean and trim at his favorite cruising locations. >[Michael] Don't get AIDS. Get Ayds!The gays would have bought it
>>77578105Cum for the cum throne.
>>77572908
>>77573090>>77572352I use to work there, the boss and the company is stuck in the 80s. All the boomers there are sycophants, and all the illegals work in the goyslop factory. After the CEO went to prison for putting meth in those stacker pills, he moved onto gummies, most of them fucking sucked, except the melatonin one. There's an old Asian guy by the name of "Phil" who would come into work extremely shit faced, tell people to shut up bitch and go back to drinking. Pic related, the goyslop drinks the company would produce. Also, video related. This company is such a fucking parody.https://www.c-span.org/person/robert-occhifinto/1007276/
>>77577873my parents had the original nordic track skier. looks so easy on tv! in reality it was hell and clunky as fuck. that thing held laundry for 15 years before they got rid of it. now they have a treadmill they've used approximately 10 times in 4 years.
>>77569524This was (and might still be) a thing.
>>77579358becoming rich as a boomer must have been so indescribably easy.>easiest time ever to get a business loan>entire generation of stupid people desperate for consumerist shit to blow their vast disposable income onliterally all you needed was>an idea for some gimmicky pile of shit that was easy to mass produce>pay for a slot on a shopping network>appeal to boomers' gullibility, obsession with image and vast egos>profit
>>77579492Even easier than you might think. Remember that the fat fucks bought chia pets and pet rocks.
>>77569535get it girl!!
>>77578872vgh, sovl
>>77571402That’s on Youtube, just like the Jane Fonda workout tapes
>>77569524
>>77570545That's true, actually. The fat you eat is the fat you wear meme is true. It really goes straight to fat tissue, no conversion required. Efficiency of moving fat from food to fat on belly is 99%. Meanwhile carbs convert to fat anywhere from 0% to 70% eaten, depending on glycogen stores, hitting high double digits requires massive overfeeding. If glycogen stores are depleted no conversion to fat happens. Look it up. That's why runners and cyclists can remain in 5% body fat despite slamming carbs even during races.
>>77570634I know that mongrels are dysgenic, but it's still always shocking to see.
>>77569524Exercise tapes of varying credibilityhttps://youtu.be/uRbI3cL7GKo
>>77569524This was a great idea and ahead of it's time. It was just a 'milkshake' of protein powder and they told you to replace two of your three meals a day with it. I bet the women who followed it properly lost weight, but I imagine 99% of them just cheated or gave up after a week.
>>77587085Slimfast original wasn't a "protein shake". It was actually incredibly low in protein.
This fucking snake oil peddler.
>>77587222
>>77575330>>77574893as someone who's only tried amphetamine, how does this compare?
>>77584197NON-NEGOTIABLE
>>77569524I used to drink my mom's slim fasts as a kid. They were tasty.
>>77569535Humanity peaked here.
>>77585265
>>77569528p90x was retarded but based
Lord I wish I still had time for p90x and beachbody insanity every day and do that on top of current lifting and martial artsI'd be like a fricking gazelle or like a jaguar
>>77569524every boomer in my country was obsessed with bruce lee and kung fu
