It's INSANE to give an obesity drug to some fat mess (ie the majority of your population) with zero willpower FOR LIFE that DOES NOT WORK but has horrendous "side effects" (an incorrect term, they are simply "effects" meaning those you desire and those you dont) the cost of the drug alone is MORE THAN HEALTHY FOOD you absolute morons. You hope he will be around for a long time? Friend they don't call it "morbid obesity" for no reason. Clue is in the name... Morbid means a disease that'll cause death with the "disease" being the rigged SAD food system and a complete lack of willpower or education. Apt acronym at least but you Americans are INSANE spending more on a drug than what a HEALTHY DIET OF HEALTHY FOOD WOULD COST. A short unfullfilling diseased life is ZERO to laugh about. Poor things
Soooo because he's hilarious you want him around for a long time? Seems selfish to me...if I wanted someone around to make condescending comments on CZcams for a long time it would be you. Smh
I’ve always loved Gabriel since back when he was on Comedy Central. I hope he’s done really well in his career and life. He’s full of positive energies.
I'm 43 and weight loss has probably the biggest struggle in my life as well. The number of things that are normal to your diet that you know you have to or at least should say no to are legion and you know exactly what they are. But self-denial is a mother of a thing to get control over for some people like me. I smoked for about 5 years and quit cold turkey like it was nothing. I WISH I could do the same with things like sugar and carbs. I applaud Gabriel for continuing to fight.
Using Ozempic or Semaglutide is not "continuing to fight". It is cheating. It is a temporary solution for a permanent problem. You have an eating disorder. Using a cheat-code drug for a year to help you shed 50lbs isn't going to do anything for you, because as soon as you get off that medication, you are going right back to your old habits and putting all that weight back on.
I've struggled with weight too, but for me, it's more about the convenience than the cravings. It's so difficult to find healthy food options on the road, especially at night, so I usually end up eating at whatever's open (usually just pizza or burger joints.) If they had healthy fast food options at night, I'd probably be a good 30 lbs leaner.
About time he’s on Joe Rogan. I performed in front of Gabriel at the Ontario Improv back in 2013. Very down to earth guy, He gives a vibe like you’ve like you have known him since childhood.
I lost 35lbs in 5 months by only eating 1 time a day. Radically changed my lifestyle after seeing how fat I was after being skinny my whole life. The first week is tough. After the 3rd week, your stomach shrinks and your appetite is gone. And now you’re losing weight fast. All done with NO exercise. Now I’m starting back at the gym. But 35lbs lighter and I don’t have to struggle and get discouraged.
@@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C do it without it. It’s really isn’t that hard if you just stop snacking (absolutely) during the day. And if you manage to meal prep (ground turkey, Mexican spicy tomate sauce, zucchini, & white rice). You’ll avoid sugar and most bad processed foods in America. Fasting is in the Bible and Quran for a reason. It really is the superior diet for your health. And the app “Fastic” explains Fasting as a science more in depth. But you really don’t need drugs of ANY kind.
This is probably the most honest conversation I have heard about weight loss & what being heavy does to the body in a very long time. As someone who has had a life long struggle with my weight, I appreciate what both men brought to the conversation. What Joe said about how the extra weight is so taxing on your natural, physical resources needs to be shouted from the roof tops. As a society we have tried to gaslight people into thinking being obese is okay & even healthy. I need to lose about 50 lbs myself, but am prescription free & my blood work is always great. HOWEVER, the wear & tear on my joints, back & various systems of the body need to be acknowledged if things do not change. Modern medicine does not worry about that. I may not need meds now, but if I stay this course, I will eventually, and that is great for them. What Gabriel says about how difficult it is to lose weight is truly relatable. I have anxiety & ADD. I find the focus & will power to stick to whatever I am doing is really hard to come by. I have moments where I literally forget that I am not supposed to do x,y, or z or eat a,b, or c. Then I feel so guilty about messing up. This is the kind of conversation we need to be having. Thank you!
@@vladislavno He's saying that Gabriel is literally/was literally dying from this DISEASE, while people like SI are advertising that disease on their cover. It's like SI is having a pro cancer issue, and calling people bigots for getting mammograms and colonoscopies.
if anyone is struggling with weight loss, I know it's by no means easy. some of the best advice I got personally though was to focus on adding things vs removing. e.g. eat some veggies before whatever meal you were planning already, or some fruit before a dessert. it will help fill you up a bit on something healthy, and in the long run will help you reduce your cravings. (Jesse Inchauspe also shares a lot of info about all the benefits of having a veggie starter in helping regulate your hunger, mood, satiety, even aging). it's also really helpful to do some produce prep. you don't have to do full meal prep, but just spend 10 minutes chopping up some fruit or veggies so that they're easier to eat or add in to your meal. seems like a small change, but making fibrous foods easier to access will make a surprisingly big difference in how often you eat them.
Yep. I’ve seen friends and girlfriends restrict their food choices, “I can’t eat this, I can’t eat that,” and next thing you know, they’re starving and eating fast food, or whatever’s closest, or empty calories like candy and snacks. But if they focus on what TO eat rather than what not to, it will help.
One of the GREATEST comics ever. First saw Fluffy when I was 11 years old in Denver, CO in 2012. Funniest 2 hours of my life and I wasn’t even a teenager. Thank you so much for having him on Joe
I agree with Gabriel on how hard it is to lose weight. Especially hitting plateau’s. That is the worst feeling, working your absolute ass off, just to find you somehow gained half a pound after a week of diet and exercise. For me the journey has not only made me physically healthier but I’ve become much more mentally strong as well. You learn how to punch the voice in your head saying negative shit and keep pushing through.
@okalright3947i had a friend that would say the same thing. Fast forward 4 years yes gained the weight he wanted and when I asked about it he told me “there’s more than one way to gain weight, the hardest way is to try to eat more.”
@@spikedmo agreed. I didn’t know how much water weight affects your overall weight until I started my journey. I’ve lost 75 lbs now with 15 more to go for my goal.
I love fluffy soooo much! I am so happy to hear he has been able to tackle his weight because I want to keep laughing at his comedy for many years to come!
The first work out is what usually gets people to jump off the horse. Usually when I train with someone new, we start off with a really short jog and a 1/2 mile walk. After that we do some barbell (bar only) squat, And barbell bench (bar only). We follow all that up with some fun work outs. Like rows and biceps. But keeping it light. Then we make time with some flexibility training. For active people this could look like a really light training/warm up. But my goal is to get peoples blood flowing. I don’t want someone being sore for two weeks. After a couple of weeks of that. We jump straight into weight and activity that they could tire themselves on. They’ll be sore but usually ready for the next session.
Man Gabriel’s “inside voice” is a WHISPER compared to his stage voice! I know that probably seems dumb to say, but he sounds like he is actively trying to speak quietly, like he’s a kid trying to stream when his parents are asleep in the next room 😂 Like he’s gonna get in trouble or something. Also love the shirt he chose to wear to this appearance, top notch.
It's ironic how he was losing his voice right when he was on Joe Rogan's podcast 😂 at first I thought that was his normal speaking voice when he is about to go deep into his stories.
I am so happy some of my favorites personalities are finally in the same podcast together. This is one episode I definitely won't miss. Gotta love fluffy 😎🇲🇽🇺🇲.
It is a challenge to loose weight. I have done intermittent fasting and lost over 100lbs. It was still challenging because it love food. But it has worked for me. With weight loss it takes dedication, determination, and discipline.
Maybe Gabriel can look into hiring a personal chef to travel with him when he's on the road & while he's working on the show prep his chef can do the shopping & meal prep, so he can continue to eat healthy.
Yea, it's crazy what just 25 lbs difference makes. I've been doing OMAD and exerciseing more for the past 2.5 months, and I'm down around 25 lbs. My knees and hips feel soooo much better, and I sleep better too! Gaining the weight happens slowly, and I just didn't realise at the time how much more impact that weight really had on my health and joints.
@@zz-if1ic I normally eat around 3/4 pm then usually bed time around 1am. It's more that I am sleeping more soundly, and not waking up multiple time a night like before. My sleep hours are still janky because I drink too much caffeine.
I got on OMAD 2 years ago. Lost 40lbs in the first 6 months. Not even watching what I ate much except for avoiding sugar or any artificial sweetener. Then dropped another 20 in 6 months. Leveled out, some bread crept into my diet but I maintained. I would eat mid day, nothing after 5. My goal was to give my body as long as possible without needing to digest so it could do some clearing out. 3 months ago I cut the bread and ended more keto meat/veg. Lost a bit, but then ended up carnivore (ish) for the last few weeks and losing faster.
I’m on ozempic right now for weight loss threw the VA. and my doctor said I can take it for as long as I want, there is no time limit. Best thing that ever happened to me.
I have such great respect for the struggles overweight people go through to try and exercise, and to lose weight and control their weight. For someone like me it's relatively easy, for them it's like walking uphill pushing a huge boulder in front of them.
Thank you for being able to appreciate that not every single body is the same. Not everyone reacts to a 5k on the elliptical and a healthy diet by losing 10 pounds a week
@@LindaC616 You're welcome. My best friend is overweight and I've seen firsthand how hard he works on it, and how painfully slow the results have been.
@taylorlibby7642 I remember my dietitian, who was overweight for a nanosecond when she was sixteen, asked me, after I had lost the first 35, if my clothes size had changed. That was when I discovered that she had never been above a size 16 and only for a nanosecond. Once a woman is over a size 16, the difference between one size and the next one is not a mere five or ten pounds. It's a question of 30 to 35 lb per dress size. Which can be a real motivation killer... and I pointed that out to her so that she would keep it in mind when working with her clients.
You can tell he's lost weight and watch one of his recent specials and there's a big difference indices doing this for his house because he is a super funny and nice guy and we want to see him around for a long time
I was 376 about a year ago and now I am around 315. My doctor put me on Ozempic about a year ago because my sugar was borderline high. Ozempic and some light supersize fixed my sugar. Once the sugar came down he suggested I keep using it because I was losing consistent weight. I think the medication effects people in different ways. My side effects are really just no appetite. Maybe a little nauseous on the day of the injection. But nothing that would keep you home from work and I have never thrown up. I have been consistently and slowly losing for a year and have not plateaued yet. And the effects do not seem to be changing over time. I do about 30 minutes of very light yoga 3 or 4 times a week. I never feel hungry for those first 5 days after injection. Those last few days I can start to feel it wear off. It almost feels like a mental thing. Food is an afterthought. You just don't care about it. You would be just as happy with a handful of crackers as you would a Cheeseburger. To give you an idea of what it like. I can get a chik-fil-a combo with fries and a drink and it last me the entire day. Not because I feel sick from eating. I just don't want it. Its hard to explain. I can eat some of the fries on the way home if I even get those. Cut the sandwich in half and eat part then and then part later in the day. My biggest struggle is I have kids constant;y around the house. There is always bad food around and we all know the bad food is always the easiest to make. So when the time comes to fix something. Because I am not really interested in preparing a bigger healthier meal, I end up fixing something quick and easy just to get by. I know for a fact if I could fix that I would have lost even more. I just think it works for certain people and others its temporary like anything else. Once I stop using it altogether will I gain it back? Maybe. I did take a 2 week vacation and did not take it for 3 weeks last summer. Maybe its because we were so busy doing things I lost 7 or 8 pounds on the vacation. I ate mostly normal but we stayed busy. So who knows. Its all about lifestyle. Maybe the Ozempic was a good tool to get me on the right track. Or close to it.
Well if you’re on it long enough your stomach itself will shrink so you’ll be fuller much faster, you’d have to re-stretch your stomach until you could eat the same quantities again. I got sick and went from chunky to skeletal when my body rejected everything I ate, so I’d eat and then spend two hours throwing up till my stomach was empty. Most end up on feeding tubes, I chose to either figure it out or die, still inbetween. My point was, if not clear, when you hit whenever you want to be weight wise, your body will have adjusted to eating less and such, it’s only if you choose to push that again will it reverse. I even go to a point where I knew if I ate I’d get sick so I began to get sick before I even ate cause my brain jumped the gun.
😂😂 they gave you pre-diabetic medication 💊 U only lost weight cause u we’re taking drugs So expect to gain all the weight since you can’t discipline yourself without drugs
I’m 35 and I lost 100 lbs in 9 months doing keto and fasting. Eating only Whole Foods. I feel fucking amazing. My energy is way higher from the diet and being in better shape. I had major clinical depression and suicidal ideation and now my mental health is so much better. I feel happy consistently. This was before I really started losing weight too. Just from the diet switch.
I have to admit. If it wasn't for the caption title, I wouldn't have believed he lost weight . Would have to see his whole figure. In any case, I'm glad he finally took this route . I remember his vid clips/pics from 10+ years ago n even then I said he should consider a weight loss program soon.
He looks like he probably has more to lose to get within the healthy weight range, but just what he has lost already will probably have made a big difference to his health.
Thanks Joe! He is in the same boat as many of us are and it’s really hard for us all because we always put each other ahead of ourselves. Osempic, Trulicity and GLP-1 works in the body to slow absorption and to keep you feeling full longer. It helps to take control of cravings and bad behavior which is huge. It’s clutch to fight obesity which is a larger problem for many now a days and might be genetically related too. I’m doing HMR food program which is amazing but the key is low calorie high volume diet. Keep full and don’t drink too much and eat late
Real ones remember Gabriel on Adam Carolla Pod, drunk in 2013 and got mad when Adam kept asking him to say, “Booooodweiiiissserr” in the Mexican accent lmao Adam the goat
Hey Joe, I have been on Ozempic for over a year to help with my diabetes. I have never been an over eater in my entire life. I was an athlete. I had an accident and ended up gaining 50lbs!!! Talk about depression, not feeling fine any minute of the day, and the physical pain as you are explaining it. It has been a mind blowing experience over the years. I do not nor have U ever taken anything for pain due to the fact it will murder my kidneys, liver, etc. I did not want to begin the Ozempic. The insulin and pills was disgusting enough to my body . The Ozempic like, Gabriel has stated immediately helped to regulate my sugar level to the point of my doctor says I will be able to get off the insulin after 7 years of injections twice a day. The 30 lbs of fat loss was over 6 months . I do not have high blood pressure and never have. I believe it is because of my constant activity level prior . I have never appreciated your comments in overweight people before even though I was not in the category but I did appreciate your explanation today with the vest on. Blessings
I was almost 300 lb 6 ft tall until I found out I had gallstones and then I changed my diet to rice and chicken with some vegetables for like 6 months and I went down to 235.
I saw him in San Jose :) i hope everyones stopped bringing him cake lmao. Im pregnant with my son who im naming Gabriel, not after fluffy but, i just may call him fluffy as a cute nickname😅
I take Ozempic too and everything Gabriel says is accurate. First 2-3 days i barely wanna eat. My taste has also changed immensely, i’m pickier on foods than i used to be. Some days i want something, then a week later that thing sounds revolting to me. Good news is i’ve lost weight though
@@Ex_877 coz you will be hungryyyyy. The trick is to still eat but modify diet to eat more filling vegetables and protein coz vegetables and protein are lower calories but fill you up so you don't eat junk food or snacks when hungry. What u think?
@raymondqiu8202 this is exactly the answer. Eat more filling foods like veggies and proteins and the lower calorie count will keep you mostly satisfied.
@@Ex_877 i don’t know if i can really understand it myself. It’s just like routine or bad habits. It’s like waking up, getting out of bed, using the restroom, taking a shower, going to work, any other daily activity. It’s not like a switch that can be turned on or off. People also eat as a form of stress or coping, and then stress about eating thus creating a cycle
Joe has an holier than thou attitude on weight loss. I used to as well. I always had bad genetics. I gain weight easily. But I could control my weight with diet and exercise up until my late thirties. Then it became super hard, even with very low calorie diets and intense exercise. I think in my case it's stress related but also just a nature of aging. I tried ozempic and it barely moved the needle. The only thing that works is speed (I did dabble in that shit for a year). Of course, if I had millions of dolalrs, I would probably have tons of time to work out all day but like 99% of people, I have a 9 to 5 jobs with kids and stress and shit and working out is not as easy as it used to be. I still do lots of it but I don't do those extreme workiouts I did in my twenties. Anyway, Joe is a little ignorant about weight loss. And I can see he judges Gabriel when he says he's on Ozempic yet Joe is clearly somethings, probably T and HGH. So maybe he should take that atittude down a little.
Joe Rogan is an Elitist to the bone. It's what makes him great but also his greatest fault. Huge ego and fanatically competitive willing to do shit other people won't to do just to say he's the best. Almost always comes attached with the attitude to look down upon those that aren't at his level.
@mexcellent227 everybody's competitive, bub. Some people just have life path's that make them look defeated. People wouldn't be so avoidant when they fail if they weren't competitive in the first place. Total losers have an ego too, they just act on impusle. This idea that only hyper successful men are competitve is idiotic. Joe has a good understanding of how grinding amd discipline leads to success but he juxtaposes the results he got to the average Joe. Very successful people have a good mindset but they often ignore all the luck they had, meeting the right people and timely opportunities. They rewrite their story and claim they earned it all by themselves. I know a dude who was a Canadian Tae Kwon doe champion and he ended up as a jaded cop. Joe acts like his competitive drive as a teen made him earn millions and millions. He lacks self awareness, humility and grace. I just make a 100k a year and I am able to admit that there was a tremendous amount of luck in my career path. Joe's best quality is curiosity. The rest of his personality isn't getting better as he surrounds himself with grifters and suckups.
You're not wrong but I never said only hyper successful men are competitive. I'm only pointing out that if you realize Joe is an absolute Elitist most of his personality traits start to make complete sense. But anyway, I enjoy his content and everyone has faults. I just know that type of personality and at the end of the day the thing that drives those people the most is being better than everyone else. And I don't think that's 100% wrong for the record.
Joey Diaz hasn't been on xanax for like 3 years now. He got his shit together for his little baby daughter and wife. He still might take half a bar or some shit before he does a stand-up bit, but that is understandable.
This is such an important conversation. An endocrinologist can give you a rigth plan for you. It can be done without extreme dieting or expensive treatments.
I love how humble and soft spoken Gabriel is. He's right--if you struggle with weight, losing and keeping it off is the hardest thing in the world.
I’ve personally found that it’s not losing the weight because I’ve done that a hundred times. It’s keeping it off and not getting content just because I may have the body I want .

Been a fatass my whole life. Keto is the only thing that worked. Gotta fight the cravings though and everything else will take care of itself.
Congrats to you for continuing too 👏 I have the opposite, can be very strict with my diet but not the smokes
People who are overweight generally don't have any idea what healthy food is and how to prepare it.
Using Ozempic or Semaglutide is not "continuing to fight". It is cheating.
It is a temporary solution for a permanent problem. You have an eating disorder. Using a cheat-code drug for a year to help you shed 50lbs isn't going to do anything for you, because as soon as you get off that medication, you are going right back to your old habits and putting all that weight back on.

I'm 48. I was at 300lbs with HP, HChl, Goit,type2 daibetes. Now at 168lbs. No meds. Walk and eat clean.
Congrats! ❤
I lost 35lbs in 5 months by only eating 1 time a day. Radically changed my lifestyle after seeing how fat I was after being skinny my whole life.
The first week is tough. After the 3rd week, your stomach shrinks and your appetite is gone. And now you’re losing weight fast.
All done with NO exercise. Now I’m starting back at the gym. But 35lbs lighter and I don’t have to struggle and get discouraged.
I am doing exaCTLY THAT.
Happy for you! Keep it going!
@@AlexT004 Thank you. I also just started Ozempic ten days ago.
@@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C do it without it. It’s really isn’t that hard if you just stop snacking (absolutely) during the day. And if you manage to meal prep (ground turkey, Mexican spicy tomate sauce, zucchini, & white rice). You’ll avoid sugar and most bad processed foods in America.
Fasting is in the Bible and Quran for a reason. It really is the superior diet for your health. And the app “Fastic” explains Fasting as a science more in depth. But you really don’t need drugs of ANY kind.
How do you manage your hunger?
This is just so soothing and nice. Just listening to two people being real with each other. It's relaxing listening to Gabriel like this😂
This is probably the most honest conversation I have heard about weight loss & what being heavy does to the body in a very long time. As someone who has had a life long struggle with my weight, I appreciate what both men brought to the conversation.
What Joe said about how the extra weight is so taxing on your natural, physical resources needs to be shouted from the roof tops. As a society we have tried to gaslight people into thinking being obese is okay & even healthy. I need to lose about 50 lbs myself, but am prescription free & my blood work is always great. HOWEVER, the wear & tear on my joints, back & various systems of the body need to be acknowledged if things do not change. Modern medicine does not worry about that. I may not need meds now, but if I stay this course, I will eventually, and that is great for them.
What Gabriel says about how difficult it is to lose weight is truly relatable. I have anxiety & ADD. I find the focus & will power to stick to whatever I am doing is really hard to come by. I have moments where I literally forget that I am not supposed to do x,y, or z or eat a,b, or c. Then I feel so guilty about messing up.
This is the kind of conversation we need to be having. Thank you!
Proud of you Iglesias!!! Keep up the grind man!! You are an inspiration bro!!
Gabriel is telling you how he saved his life while Sports Illustrated is trying to put people with a story similar to his on the cover.
Right
World has gone insane. Woke culture gotta go!
What
@@vladislavno He's saying that Gabriel is literally/was literally dying from this DISEASE, while people like SI are advertising that disease on their cover. It's like SI is having a pro cancer issue, and calling people bigots for getting mammograms and colonoscopies.
Fluffy is a comedy OG for me. His specials on comedy central were some of the first i saw along with the roasts. Living legend.
if anyone is struggling with weight loss, I know it's by no means easy. some of the best advice I got personally though was to focus on adding things vs removing. e.g. eat some veggies before whatever meal you were planning already, or some fruit before a dessert. it will help fill you up a bit on something healthy, and in the long run will help you reduce your cravings. (Jesse Inchauspe also shares a lot of info about all the benefits of having a veggie starter in helping regulate your hunger, mood, satiety, even aging).
it's also really helpful to do some produce prep. you don't have to do full meal prep, but just spend 10 minutes chopping up some fruit or veggies so that they're easier to eat or add in to your meal. seems like a small change, but making fibrous foods easier to access will make a surprisingly big difference in how often you eat them.
Yep. I’ve seen friends and girlfriends restrict their food choices, “I can’t eat this, I can’t eat that,” and next thing you know, they’re starving and eating fast food, or whatever’s closest, or empty calories like candy and snacks. But if they focus on what TO eat rather than what not to, it will help.
One of the GREATEST comics ever. First saw Fluffy when I was 11 years old in Denver, CO in 2012. Funniest 2 hours of my life and I wasn’t even a teenager. Thank you so much for having him on Joe
I agree with Gabriel on how hard it is to lose weight. Especially hitting plateau’s. That is the worst feeling,
working your absolute ass off, just to find you somehow gained half a pound after a week of diet and exercise. For me the journey has not only made me physically healthier but I’ve become much more mentally strong as well. You learn how to punch the voice in your head saying negative shit and keep pushing through.
@okalright3947i had a friend that would say the same thing. Fast forward 4 years yes gained the weight he wanted and when I asked about it he told me “there’s more than one way to gain weight, the hardest way is to try to eat more.”
Have you tried adderall?
@@spikedmo agreed. I didn’t know how much water weight affects your overall weight until I started my journey. I’ve lost 75 lbs now with 15 more to go for my goal.
Funny you should mention that I did think about going to the doctor to ask for some 😂
@@chadgrovcan’t be fat if you’re addicted to meth
Can't believe how much weight Gabriel lost! Way to go man! I hope he's still doing stand up I haven't really heard much about him recently
Gabriel is one of the coolest dudes! I met him at the Tempe Improv after a show, not during a meet and greet, and he was so cool.
Love Gabriel. This should be legendary.
me and my stepdad used to watch every gabriel special we could find, some of our best memories were because of this man, truly a hero!
I love fluffy soooo much! I am so happy to hear he has been able to tackle his weight because I want to keep laughing at his comedy for many years to come!
The first work out is what usually gets people to jump off the horse. Usually when I train with someone new, we start off with a really short jog and a 1/2 mile walk. After that we do some barbell (bar only) squat, And barbell bench (bar only).
We follow all that up with some fun work outs. Like rows and biceps. But keeping it light. Then we make time with some flexibility training.
For active people this could look like a really light training/warm up. But my goal is to get peoples blood flowing. I don’t want someone being sore for two weeks. After a couple of weeks of that. We jump straight into weight and activity that they could tire themselves on. They’ll be sore but usually ready for the next session.
Man Gabriel’s “inside voice” is a WHISPER compared to his stage voice! I know that probably seems dumb to say, but he sounds like he is actively trying to speak quietly, like he’s a kid trying to stream when his parents are asleep in the next room 😂 Like he’s gonna get in trouble or something. Also love the shirt he chose to wear to this appearance, top notch.
Listen to the whole video.
He lost his voice. Now you don't have to bow to this ^ momo
It's ironic how he was losing his voice right when he was on Joe Rogan's podcast 😂 at first I thought that was his normal speaking voice when he is about to go deep into his stories.
I am so happy some of my favorites personalities are finally in the same podcast together. This is one episode I definitely won't miss. Gotta love fluffy 😎🇲🇽🇺🇲.
He is a gem!! Humbleness and class. Joe! Phenom
i just wish everyone well with their struggles. Whatever it may be. You are worth fighting for.
I love when Joe has the very best comedians on the podcast.
Like Iglesias, Burr, Chappelle and Schaub.
Wog?
Schaub😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol, he thought we wouldnt notice
Thought he was going to sneak that last name in there 😂
In Baseball you're batting
2 for 4 = 500... Anywhere else you're a coin flip....
Keep it up man! Live as long as possible we need you!
What a legend, hope he keeps his healthy habits up so he can continue to have fun making people laugh.
Love ya dude🤘
Ive never thought about it as putting on a 75 pound vest. Great analogy
It simulates to the brain that you’re carrying more weight so the body adapts to do more work to burn calories … weighted vests are interesting
Great job Fluffy!! Well done with your weight loss! Keep up the excellent work man! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Wow, I was waiting for this Interview for years
It is a challenge to loose weight. I have done intermittent fasting and lost over 100lbs. It was still challenging because it love food. But it has worked for me. With weight loss it takes dedication, determination, and discipline.
Maybe Gabriel can look into hiring a personal chef to travel with him when he's on the road & while he's working on the show prep his chef can do the shopping & meal prep, so he can continue to eat healthy.
Gabriel is such a sweet honest guy
I love this guy , good episode.
This is going to be an amazing episode 🤝🏾💯
Gabriel was a proud part of my family comedy we watched together
Great information. Thanks for sharing. Joe Rogan. I watch all your utube videos. They are great.
We love Gabriel Inglesias ! He's appearing here in South Carolina in August so we're so excited.
Yea, it's crazy what just 25 lbs difference makes. I've been doing OMAD and exerciseing more for the past 2.5 months, and I'm down around 25 lbs. My knees and hips feel soooo much better, and I sleep better too! Gaining the weight happens slowly, and I just didn't realise at the time how much more impact that weight really had on my health and joints.
@@zz-if1ic I normally eat around 3/4 pm then usually bed time around 1am. It's more that I am sleeping more soundly, and not waking up multiple time a night like before. My sleep hours are still janky because I drink too much caffeine.
@Azralynn congrats 25lbs in 2 months is incredible!!!
I got on OMAD 2 years ago. Lost 40lbs in the first 6 months. Not even watching what I ate much except for avoiding sugar or any artificial sweetener. Then dropped another 20 in 6 months. Leveled out, some bread crept into my diet but I maintained. I would eat mid day, nothing after 5. My goal was to give my body as long as possible without needing to digest so it could do some clearing out.
3 months ago I cut the bread and ended more keto meat/veg. Lost a bit, but then ended up carnivore (ish) for the last few weeks and losing faster.
Joe is sleep walking through this one
He's lookin' a lil haggard.
Is it illegal to be tired?
What if he's stressed at the moment with life troubles?
You tired lad? You energetic are you?
Twat.
Damn straight! Looks like the TRT man hasn't shown up this week 😂😂
It’s hard to explain food addiction to someone who’s never experienced it. Gabriel’s overcoming though and that is so awesome!
hearing this guy in such calm and relax voice is so refreshing
So love Gabriel 🥰 wishing him all the best 🙏🏽💓
I’m on ozempic right now for weight loss threw the VA. and my doctor said I can take it for as long as I want, there is no time limit. Best thing that ever happened to me.
How much have u loss so for
And what happens when homeostasis takes over? You're going to have to stop at some point, right?
Make sure you get your protein and fats.
The duo I didn’t expect, but glad it happened.
Great job Gabriel. God bless ❤️
I have such great respect for the struggles overweight people go through to try and exercise, and to lose weight and control their weight. For someone like me it's relatively easy, for them it's like walking uphill pushing a huge boulder in front of them.
Thank you for being able to appreciate that not every single body is the same. Not everyone reacts to a 5k on the elliptical and a healthy diet by losing 10 pounds a week
@@LindaC616 You're welcome. My best friend is overweight and I've seen firsthand how hard he works on it, and how painfully slow the results have been.
@taylorlibby7642 I remember my dietitian, who was overweight for a nanosecond when she was sixteen, asked me, after I had lost the first 35, if my clothes size had changed. That was when I discovered that she had never been above a size 16 and only for a nanosecond. Once a woman is over a size 16, the difference between one size and the next one is not a mere five or ten pounds. It's a question of 30 to 35 lb per dress size. Which can be a real motivation killer...
and I pointed that out to her so that she would keep it in mind when working with her clients.
Seems to be a learned habit and once you’ve been raised a certain way eating certain things its hard to change those cravings
You can tell he's lost weight and watch one of his recent specials and there's a big difference indices doing this for his house because he is a super funny and nice guy and we want to see him around for a long time
I just saw Gabriel at the Improv. Super excited to see this pod
He looks amazing. So happy he is taking care of himself. One of my favorite comedians.
Very softly spoken, nice vibe.
I was 376 about a year ago and now I am around 315. My doctor put me on Ozempic about a year ago because my sugar was borderline high. Ozempic and some light supersize fixed my sugar. Once the sugar came down he suggested I keep using it because I was losing consistent weight. I think the medication effects people in different ways. My side effects are really just no appetite. Maybe a little nauseous on the day of the injection. But nothing that would keep you home from work and I have never thrown up. I have been consistently and slowly losing for a year and have not plateaued yet. And the effects do not seem to be changing over time. I do about 30 minutes of very light yoga 3 or 4 times a week. I never feel hungry for those first 5 days after injection. Those last few days I can start to feel it wear off. It almost feels like a mental thing. Food is an afterthought. You just don't care about it. You would be just as happy with a handful of crackers as you would a Cheeseburger. To give you an idea of what it like. I can get a chik-fil-a combo with fries and a drink and it last me the entire day. Not because I feel sick from eating. I just don't want it. Its hard to explain. I can eat some of the fries on the way home if I even get those. Cut the sandwich in half and eat part then and then part later in the day. My biggest struggle is I have kids constant;y around the house. There is always bad food around and we all know the bad food is always the easiest to make. So when the time comes to fix something. Because I am not really interested in preparing a bigger healthier meal, I end up fixing something quick and easy just to get by. I know for a fact if I could fix that I would have lost even more. I just think it works for certain people and others its temporary like anything else.
Once I stop using it altogether will I gain it back? Maybe. I did take a 2 week vacation and did not take it for 3 weeks last summer. Maybe its because we were so busy doing things I lost 7 or 8 pounds on the vacation. I ate mostly normal but we stayed busy. So who knows. Its all about lifestyle. Maybe the Ozempic was a good tool to get me on the right track. Or close to it.
Well if you’re on it long enough your stomach itself will shrink so you’ll be fuller much faster, you’d have to re-stretch your stomach until you could eat the same quantities again. I got sick and went from chunky to skeletal when my body rejected everything I ate, so I’d eat and then spend two hours throwing up till my stomach was empty. Most end up on feeding tubes, I chose to either figure it out or die, still inbetween.
My point was, if not clear, when you hit whenever you want to be weight wise, your body will have adjusted to eating less and such, it’s only if you choose to push that again will it reverse. I even go to a point where I knew if I ate I’d get sick so I began to get sick before I even ate cause my brain jumped the gun.
😂😂 they gave you pre-diabetic medication 💊
U only lost weight cause u we’re taking drugs
So expect to gain all the weight since you can’t discipline yourself without drugs
@@alex4088 Unless they learned better habits while on it. Otherwise you’re correct
I love Enrique Iglesias
finally its happend!! Ive wait years for this pod!
Wild these 2 finally got together
Some real good points made here! Well done on your weight loss journey! Perhaps we will have to dedicate a video to you haha
I’m 35 and I lost 100 lbs in 9 months doing keto and fasting. Eating only Whole Foods. I feel fucking amazing. My energy is way higher from the diet and being in better shape. I had major clinical depression and suicidal ideation and now my mental health is so much better. I feel happy consistently. This was before I really started losing weight too. Just from the diet switch.
FLUFFY! ❤ Going straight to Spotify
About freaking time! 🎉
I have to admit. If it wasn't for the caption title, I wouldn't have believed he lost weight .
Would have to see his whole figure.
In any case, I'm glad he finally took this route .
I remember his vid clips/pics from 10+ years ago n even then I said he should consider a weight loss program soon.
Men don’t have figures; they have physiques.
He looks like he probably has more to lose to get within the healthy weight range, but just what he has lost already will probably have made a big difference to his health.
Love watching Joe just hold back when it comes to diet and exercise 😅
Fluffy, I missed ya! Keep up the good work
Thanks Joe! He is in the same boat as many of us are and it’s really hard for us all because we always put each other ahead of ourselves.
Osempic, Trulicity and GLP-1 works in the body to slow absorption and to keep you feeling full longer. It helps to take control of cravings and bad behavior which is huge. It’s clutch to fight obesity which is a larger problem for many now a days and might be genetically related too. I’m doing HMR food program which is amazing but the key is low calorie high volume diet.
Keep full and don’t drink too much and eat late
Real ones remember Gabriel on Adam Carolla Pod, drunk in 2013 and got mad when Adam kept asking him to say, “Booooodweiiiissserr” in the Mexican accent lmao Adam the goat
That was a wild ride!😂
Fluffy!…..Isn’t as fluffy anymore…..good for him 👍
He's still fluffy... just a healthier fluffy.
I followed him on CZcams shorts. Very funny. Best of luck to him in future. Always great when a comedian piss takes themselves
I used to love this guys music, "Hero" was the love song of the decade!
Hey Joe, I have been on Ozempic for over a year to help with my diabetes. I have never been an over eater in my entire life. I was an athlete. I had an accident and ended up gaining 50lbs!!! Talk about depression, not feeling fine any minute of the day, and the physical pain as you are explaining it. It has been a mind blowing experience over the years. I do not nor have U ever taken anything for pain due to the fact it will murder my kidneys, liver, etc. I did not want to begin the Ozempic. The insulin and pills was disgusting enough to my body . The Ozempic like, Gabriel has stated immediately helped to regulate my sugar level to the point of my doctor says I will be able to get off the insulin after 7 years of injections twice a day. The 30 lbs of fat loss was over 6 months . I do not have high blood pressure and never have. I believe it is because of my constant activity level prior . I have never appreciated your comments in overweight people before even though I was not in the category but I did appreciate your explanation today with the vest on. Blessings
Are you aware of how much muscle mass you've lost while on Ozempic?
@@flameguy3416 I was not on Ozempic for weight loss reasons. It was strictly diabetic. My physical therapist is amazed at how strong my muscles are..
I was almost 300 lb 6 ft tall until I found out I had gallstones and then I changed my diet to rice and chicken with some vegetables for like 6 months and I went down to 235.
did you work out too? or just the diet did it?
@@RetroShyt Just the diet.
Congrats man. We’re all proud of you!!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE FOR SO LONG!!!!!!!!!
Gabriel is always so great to see
I'm happy Gabriel has defluffed a little.
Joe wants you to do more. I think you have done fantastic.
I saw him in San Jose :) i hope everyones stopped bringing him cake lmao. Im pregnant with my son who im naming Gabriel, not after fluffy but, i just may call him fluffy as a cute nickname😅
I love his voices.
"I hear the bell!"
This episode was really good loved the vibe
I take Ozempic too and everything Gabriel says is accurate. First 2-3 days i barely wanna eat. My taste has also changed immensely, i’m pickier on foods than i used to be. Some days i want something, then a week later that thing sounds revolting to me. Good news is i’ve lost weight though
Help me understand why you can’t simply eat less
Yeh but now u gotta be in ozempic forever lmao sucked in
@@Ex_877 coz you will be hungryyyyy. The trick is to still eat but modify diet to eat more filling vegetables and protein coz vegetables and protein are lower calories but fill you up so you don't eat junk food or snacks when hungry. What u think?
@raymondqiu8202 this is exactly the answer. Eat more filling foods like veggies and proteins and the lower calorie count will keep you mostly satisfied.
@@Ex_877 i don’t know if i can really understand it myself. It’s just like routine or bad habits. It’s like waking up, getting out of bed, using the restroom, taking a shower, going to work, any other daily activity. It’s not like a switch that can be turned on or off. People also eat as a form of stress or coping, and then stress about eating thus creating a cycle
Dude does impressions so good and happy he is losing weight
That's one of the best comedians ever!
This is great news. We've lost a number of talented comedians/actors too darn early from obesity. Happy for him; very funny talented guy.
I always wondered why Gabriel was never in the podcast, he's a great comedian and a great person with lots of stories
I remember falling asleep on the couch like 10-12 years ago and waking up to his rerun specials funniest shit ever
One of the best episodes it was funny and chill.
Joe has an holier than thou attitude on weight loss. I used to as well. I always had bad genetics. I gain weight easily. But I could control my weight with diet and exercise up until my late thirties. Then it became super hard, even with very low calorie diets and intense exercise. I think in my case it's stress related but also just a nature of aging. I tried ozempic and it barely moved the needle. The only thing that works is speed (I did dabble in that shit for a year). Of course, if I had millions of dolalrs, I would probably have tons of time to work out all day but like 99% of people, I have a 9 to 5 jobs with kids and stress and shit and working out is not as easy as it used to be. I still do lots of it but I don't do those extreme workiouts I did in my twenties. Anyway, Joe is a little ignorant about weight loss. And I can see he judges Gabriel when he says he's on Ozempic yet Joe is clearly somethings, probably T and HGH. So maybe he should take that atittude down a little.
Wow you must be a mind reader!
Joe Rogan is an Elitist to the bone. It's what makes him great but also his greatest fault. Huge ego and fanatically competitive willing to do shit other people won't to do just to say he's the best. Almost always comes attached with the attitude to look down upon those that aren't at his level.
@mexcellent227 everybody's competitive, bub. Some people just have life path's that make them look defeated. People wouldn't be so avoidant when they fail if they weren't competitive in the first place. Total losers have an ego too, they just act on impusle. This idea that only hyper successful men are competitve is idiotic. Joe has a good understanding of how grinding amd discipline leads to success but he juxtaposes the results he got to the average Joe. Very successful people have a good mindset but they often ignore all the luck they had, meeting the right people and timely opportunities. They rewrite their story and claim they earned it all by themselves. I know a dude who was a Canadian Tae Kwon doe champion and he ended up as a jaded cop. Joe acts like his competitive drive as a teen made him earn millions and millions. He lacks self awareness, humility and grace. I just make a 100k a year and I am able to admit that there was a tremendous amount of luck in my career path. Joe's best quality is curiosity. The rest of his personality isn't getting better as he surrounds himself with grifters and suckups.
You're not wrong but I never said only hyper successful men are competitive. I'm only pointing out that if you realize Joe is an absolute Elitist most of his personality traits start to make complete sense.
But anyway, I enjoy his content and everyone has faults. I just know that type of personality and at the end of the day the thing that drives those people the most is being better than everyone else. And I don't think that's 100% wrong for the record.
@mexcellent227 OK i get ur point
This is Joey Diaz without the Xanax
Lol Diaz is totally opposite sorry
Joey Diaz hasn't been on xanax for like 3 years now. He got his shit together for his little baby daughter and wife.
He still might take half a bar or some shit before he does a stand-up bit, but that is understandable.
This is such an important conversation. An endocrinologist can give you a rigth plan for you. It can be done without extreme dieting or expensive treatments.
Wow that's amazing keep up the good work you look great and stay healthy cause life is short.
He's always been energetic on stage so it will be even more energetic now that he's lost a lot of weight.
