Someone accused me of being hypocritical and implied I was being dishonest with you. Personally, I take this seriously. Out of all the character traits I value, honesty is very high up the list. And although I have talked about this repeatedly and for many years, now is perhaps a good time to revisit this topic. So, let me talk about Crohn's disease, my body, and the responsibility I feel having a platform on social media. | Ben Carpenter

The most honest treadmill review you will ever see (probably). I recently realised that if I want to see honest reviews about a product, I turn to forums, not social media. Why? Because social media has a lot of reviews from people who were paid to promote a product. This isn’t a bad thing. I have nothing against paid partnerships. But sometimes, it’s refreshing to see honest reviews from the other side. So, let me give you an honest review of our treadmill, and unfortunately it is not good. P.S

I hate calorie comparisons. Not all, but a lot of them. Not because I don’t see value in them, but because so many of them are going to extremes. No, I don’t need someone to say “instead of eating one tasty croissant you could eat 500 raspberries” because no number of raspberries will ever fill a croissant shaped hole in your heart. That’s not really how food cravings and food psychology work. But I think this calorie comparison (by lewisnevard on Instagram) is pretty legit. Because he specifica

As you can see, I got tagged in this A LOT. When someone goes on a popular podcast and talks about a very specific 36-hour fast that is the ‘most beautiful way to unstick weight loss resistance’, you can bet your arse people are going to be interested. Here is basically what the study says. If you tell people to avoid food for over half their life (36 hour fasting, 12 hours eating, repeat again and again), they do what? *Drumroll* Eat less food. I know, groundbreaking. Now, many people are inter

You know what pisses me off? When people complain about bigger models being featured in sportswear adverts. This isn’t “glorification of obesity” lol. Sports brands care about money. They are businesses. They are advertising to a group of people who have been neglected by sports brands in the past. If you were a size X, Y or Z, you couldn’t buy sportswear in the past. It’s that simple. Now, brands are finally making sizes X, Y and Z, which makes exercising more accessible. And, if by some miracl

When I first posted this, it went viral. Recently, there has been a lot of hatred aimed towards oatmeal. Apparently oatmeal is not fit for human consumption, you wouldn’t even give it to horses. Oatmeal is anything from a toxin that robs your body of nutrients, right up to the worst thing you can eat in the morning. Personally, I find these videos hilariously bad. Because, they immediately tell me that the person making them probably doesn’t actually work with humans, ever. Do you know why? Beca

Fitness industry, we need to chat. When I was a teenager, before social media was really a thing, I used to take "fitness" advice from magazines. Small problem, the dietary advice I picked up was from pro bodybuilders and fitness models sharing their own meal plans. You know what that means? I thought eating chicken and broccoli 6 times a day was the way to go. Now I say this to all of you, you will realise how fucked up this is, right? Teenage me with 6 months in the gym is trying to follow a h

In 2007, a 21-year-old wheelchair user named Ben Carpenter was dragged by a vehicle for miles after becoming tangled in the vehicle’s grill. While crossing the street, his wheelchair became entangled with a semi-truck, causing him to be inadvertently carried along by the vehicle. Remarkably, Ben was pushed by the truck for approximately 4 miles at a speed of around 50 mph, all while being held in place by the truck’s grill. It wasn’t until another driver noticed Ben and alerted the truck driver

We filmed every pregnancy test we took, because capturing big moments on camera are sometimes nice to look back on. After many negative tests, we were so confident this was negative we didn't even bother putting pants on (hence us fiming in our underwear before bed). | Ben Carpenter

My most popular posts of 2024. As it’s the end of the year, it’s a nice chance to do a little recap of some of my most popular posts. Because if lots of you enjoyed them when I posted them many months ago, it means those of you who missed them might enjoy seeing them for the first time.

A few years ago, a follower messaged me and told me I was their role model. Not even joking. Those were their actual words. “Role model”. Not because of my personality or anything I had done. They saw a photo of me and said that I had the physique they wanted to achieve, so I was their physique role model. Whilst flattering, this also slapped me in the face and made me a little sad. I *hated* the idea that somewhere, some teenage boys (or any other age now I am getting older and more grey) were

Exercise is amazing. It can be amazing for mental health. BUT this should not be exaggerated. Exercise should not be viewed as an omnipotent replacement for actual mental health services.

Sunscreen (or ‘sun cream’ in England) has been getting a lot of hate lately. Predominantly, people who think natural is always good and artificial is always bad. There is no shortage of scary videos talking about the dangers of ‘chemical sunscreen’ and often natural alternatives are recommended. In extreme cases, people are recommending you putting things like olive oil, coconut oil or beef tallow on your body instead. Let me mildly sacrifice my body to science to show why a lot of these videos

You need to watch out for this. Normally, if someone is a ‘sponsored athlete’ or an ‘influencer’, they should put hashtag ‘ad’ in their post. This is a mandatory disclaimer in many countries to clearly show you as the consumer that they are being endorsed to promote a product. But ‘influencing’ is evolving, and some people don’t have commission codes from brands, but instead get commission from affiliate links, like promoting products on Amazon. In this example, someone repeatedly makes claims a

MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN! If you live in America, or even if you don’t, chances are you will have seen a lot of people talking about the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement. And, with anything political, it of course causes a lot of arguing. Because people who like one politician often refuse to say anything remotely negative about them, and people who dislike one politician will often refuse to say anything remote positive about them. Thus, any time ANY politician is mentioned, the con

Ok, this annoyed me. Believe it or not, I don’t *love* calling people out. I get a lot of backlash for it because every time I make a response video, it inevitably annoys a group of people who support the person I am responding to. But I *HATE* unnecessary food phobia. I have been someone who was unnecessarily afraid of carbohydrates. I spent years like that when I was a teenager.

What is the LEAST amount of exercise you can do and still get results? A new study (published ahead of print) tested the effect of just one set per exercise. They actually tested this under two conditions (going to failure, or going just short of failure) to see if one was better than the other. And whilst that is an important conversation, I think it’s perhaps not as important as the summary. BOTH conditions caused an increase in muscle mass and strength. All for the sake of just ONE HOUR PER W

How much do you slow down as you age? I used to be a pretty athletic kid. I would run, play sports and lift weights as a teenager. But as I approach my 40s, when I tried running outside for the first time, I was kind of blown away by how uncoordinated I felt. Running was hard. I used to do it all the time but now I felt like I was learning it for the first time. My technique was terrible. I looked awkward AF, like Bambi learning to walk.

I saw this video (drewsendscience on IG) and genuinely lol’d. I know it is a joke, and a good joke at that, but I wanted to give another perspective. Because I actually did a similar experiment myself. It wasn’t a mile every single day. In fact, I actually started even smaller than that, and jogged less than half a mile just 2-3 times per week. After a month, my fitness had noticeably improved (I could feel it, and my Apple Watch also estimated it). The other bonus is from a behavior change pers

One day, the dog ran away. Sohee couldn’t find Ollie the pug. He had vanished. Apparently, he had followed the smell of tacos and gone to a nearby restaurant. She later found him inside the kitchen. That’s not even a joke. He loves his Mum (Sohee) to pieces, but if he can smell food, Sohee may as well not exist. See, some people are thinking about food all the time. When they see food, their desire to eat it is higher than it is for other people. I am more like Jellie. I can go all day without e

I was tagged in yet another video from someone having a negative experience in their gym. Two young guys coughing under their breath, calling someone an ‘ogre’, should be grounds for a membership termination, in my opinion. Fat shaming can literally deter people from going to the gym completely. If we really cared about peoples health, we would have a zero tolerance policy on it. However, this story had a pleasant surprise, and the woman explained that a stranger was really supportive to her com
