- quickdirt.com has several articles that I've written about my weight loss. They are related to mountain biking because that is the theme of the blog, but they will give you a good picture about why I started losing weight and some of my methodology. See the links below.
I originally started losing weight because I was worried about the direction of my health, but I've experienced so many other positive side effects that I am hoping I can share my story with others and inspire a few people to make a change.

How Losing Weight Helped Me Get Faster On My Bike

The About Page - an overall story of the blog, but it begins with the weight loss
quickdirt.com/about/
I started by only looking at calories, but eventually the lifestyle choices led me to some of the same type of eating that you would find in this book - The Paleo Diet. I stick to the diet about 70 percent of the time, but the overall themes are very much in line with my values. Here is a link:

yeah... you said 3 months but the papers behind you show it was 5 months
This is a response to all the people who have told me I didn't need to lose weight because I looked good as I was or that I lost too much weight. I just want emphasize that I didnt start losing weight for cosmetic reasons. I started to feel unhealthy and my health was heading in the wrong direction. It wasn't about how much weight I had put on. It was about the speed that I was putting weight on and shifting course before it got out of hand. I wanted to avoid the chronic health problems that are associated with obesity. I did make losing 50 pounds a goal for this video, but my goal was not to maintain a 50 pound weight loss. Right now my weight is 165 and I feel good about where I'm at. I eat lots of fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. I continue to bike, run and stretch. I feel much healthier now than before I lost the weight.
+James Knott Without knowing your actual height, assuming you're around the high 5' - low 6' range, 204 lbs is considered well over obese, so shedding the weight was for the better, regardless of how you felt. Congrats on the goal met! We all just wish beer didn't come with the cost of bidding farewell to the BBA.
+James Knott I lost 100 lbs. in 5 months from just eating healthy fruits, veggies, lean protein and walking. People were always asking if I had cancer, or if I was sick and didn't look right. My theory of that all was that people get so used to you looking one way for so many years, that when you finally lose all that weight quickly people aren't used to it and think you don't look right. Regardless of what they thought I looked like, I never felt better in my life. Congrats on your weight loss!

+Archie Abalos No such thing as a skinny pill FuckTard!
+James Fuck skinny pills all they are is energy pills that make you feel hotter and energized like a pre workout for example.
Great job James! When I finally met you in person I was shocked by how much you had trimmed down compared with earlier videos. Cheers!
James,Out of all the videos,yours is the most detailed and accurate considering time lapse. Even if you did it in 5 months,...great job!
Nice job on the video! and the weight loss. I'm glad you put a little back on, I think you look better not quite so thin. I'll be watching for more info!
Good vid, very interesting to see. I am using the same methodology you did (careful nutrition control and exercise) and have so far gone from 226 to 203 (at last weigh in, which was over a week ago so probably a bit lower now). I am aiming for around 154 too as I am also 5'10". Oh, and great to see that you havent given up on the ale, I'm a big beer fan myself and want it to be part of my life again, just not for a while!
Well done! How did you stay motivated to go to the gym/work out? Did you have any 'bad' food days during the 3 months?
Nice job and congrats on losing the weight. How tall are you and what was your calorie intake like when you started dieting? 50 pounds in 3 months is very rapid weight loss.
Very inspiring!! Congrats!
I would like to know what kind of diet and exercise you did. Awesome Job Dude!
Congrats on your success
Nicely done James! I was on my way to losing more weight but then this whole craft beer thing took hold. I'm happy I'm at least maintaining in the meantime. But for me weight isn't everything as I'm as strong as ever. Losing body fat but putting on muscle doesn't make for dramatic weight loss. How loose my pants fit is more important.
It's really not about how much you weigh as it is about how healthy you feel. If you feel good, that's what really matters. There was definitely too much beer in my life at that point. The big difference is that now I know how many calories are in each one and I have benchmark to guide my consumption.
James Knott
Awesome job, James! I think you hit a REALLY big point of craft beer drinkers: drinking way TOO much and I think that is why I am leaving the beer world. It makes it so hard to be an example of restraint and discipline(without ever trying to make people do it) when there are some craft beer drinkers that drink more beer in a month or two then I will in 2 to 3 years. Thanks for this and keep it up! I am a biker too and do it everyday but maybe not as intensely!
Great work...Wow, that is impressive!
Great job! How did you get past your "weight loss plateau"?
What was your meal plan ? I'm 240'want to weigh 185 how many calories should I be consuming ?
James, how many calories per day did you consume when you were losing? I'm trying around 1600 per day. I weigh around 190 trying to get down to 170.
How many miles do you cycle a day? I have a desk cycle and I cycle 20-30 miles a day, but I do it over the course of 1.5-2.5 hours so its not strenuous. If its too strenuous I burn out and lose ability to keep going.
I lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks, I have 30-40 more pounds to lose. thank you for this amazing video!
Well done. It takes a lot of will power and hard, strenous work to get the results you desire.
James I'm happy for you. Matter of fact I'm going to celebrate your success with a 6 pack of high abv beer and some baked ravioli!
What was your exercise routine?
And what did you eat?
Nice work, James. A few years back, I managed to work myself down about a hundred pounds, so I know how much work and dedication this takes.
I can't believe how many negative comments you got on this vid. Hope you ignored them all. Congratulations--you did a great job--whether over 3 months or 5. That's way more than most people do AND you've kept it off. You must be an inspiration to a lot of heavy people. Shared.
Can give us a demonstartion of what a typical diet for a day or week would be? It would help me understand. Also, what were you eating before you went on keto, and was it just a reduction in calories that made you lose weight? Thanks.
James could you reply on God Bless Texas's comment? Im on my third week and lost 11 pounds,..did you really do it in three months?
Good job man. I just got back into my groove. I was 243# at my heaviest at 5'10". lost 10# few years back. Lost 10# more last year, now I'm around 212#, and looking I think to drop 30# more. Feels good seeing results.
Love your time lapse. I eat 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. every day. Was 192 on 1/1/16 and am 152 on 11/12/16. Lately I stop eating at 8 p.m. on Saturdays and eat again at 4 p.m. on Mondays = 44 hours. The lighter I get = the better I feel.
How tall are you? Was wondering because this greatly factors into your weight.
Awesome Time Lapse Videos
It is very inspiring to see! Please just give a few tips - what kind of foods to avoid and what exercises to focus on.
Lots of fruits and vegetables - especially veggies. They are more filling, they have plenty of fiber and nutrition.
Three cheers for you! Lean healthy people are often told they look fine and don't need to lose weight. This typically comes from people who do not lead a healthy life in regard to exercise and dietary intake. I applaud you for your commitment to health and wellness.
Why do people sit in CZcams comments and just Hate!! Shut up the man did something positive and is inspiring others as well tf

You are an inspiration.
Wow great motivation and transformation
I think you looked best around 175 personally. But whatever feels best for you is what is important.
Just watched this video. I too weigh 205 and am 5’10” tall and have a love for imperial craft brews. I really need to lose about 40lbs. It is difficult. So congrats on your success my friend.
James,
Quick question, how many times a week, and for how much time did you went cycling?
Thanks in advance mate
I ride about 3 times a week and run twice. Average rides are 2 hours each and average runs are about an hour. What's more important though is your diet. It's very easy to offset any amount of exercise that you do with a big meal or unhealthy snacks.
Did you stick to your fruits, veggies and lean protein during these 3 months, or did you allow yourself something sweet every once in a while?
I usually had one "cheat" meal per week.
Best side by side comparison on internet
hi ,first good job . but i wanna know how old are you ?
How did you loose all that weight what did you do
I think he look fine before. Was it health reasons to lose weight?
how tall is james knott ?
How tall are u james.
I weighed 230lbs starting this year and i lost 30lbs already and i am around 200-203lbs right now i am just wondering how you shed it in 3 months time? that is amazing sir! I just use treadmill and jog 5 times a week... Whats your diet and beer intake like? Any Special exercise or training?
Mostly I was just very strict about counting calories. It wasn't easy, but I'm glad I did it.
I probably drink about two alcohol drinks per day. I aim for something lower in calories than before my weight loss. I exercise 5 or 6 times a week. Mostly cycling.
James Knott from September -October 2014 I went from 189 to 161 and I didn't reach my goal of 157lb. I did it by jogging/running and eating healthy. Halloween, Thanksgiving , Christmas and New Years day came and I kinda maintained the weight but, after that until now I went back to 189-90lb. In May of 2015 I fell and hurt my knees and I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis. If I would have realized earlier I wouldn't have done all that strenuous running and jogging I did and I may have delayed the osteoarthritis from developing. Maybe not having that fall may have helped too. I probably already had it but, I may have ignored the symptoms and worsened it by running and jogging. I take one aleve and one advil together for a day's pain relief everyday. The pain isn't really much if i don't take the medication but, for sure I know the osteoarthritis is progressing. My question is, what is your suggestion for me to get back to 161lb or even my goal of 157lb with my osteoarthritis present. I'm not suppose to do any high impact activities to my knees at all and I have to watch my activities eveyday so I don't aggravate my arthritis. Please help.
Have you tried biking? A "well-adjusted" bike is very easy on your joints. Also, it's all about calories in being less than calories out. So, you don't even need to exercise as long as you count your calories correctly. Although, I think exercising is good for your health. Maybe you should consider swimming or aquarobics.

How is February 2 to July 2 three months??? On my calendar that's 5 months.
Great job!
How tall are you?
Man I'm 30 pounds down from 224, currently staying somewhere between 190 and 194 depending on if I jogged the day before or not. My goal was to lose 40. Any tips to shed that final ten? It's a real pain in the ass for me.

Wow! how old are you, how long were you 50lbs overweight and did you experience any skin sagging? doesnt look like it from the pics
Late response but to avoid loose skine you do not wanna lose more than 3 pounds a week
as weird as this video started I think this one is going to motivate me more on my journey of weight loss, why? I looked at the lbs. lost and days, lbs would go up then down but you would look better that's what's bothering me in my mind right now I'm going to the gym but the scale says other wise, but it's not true
Your right, it is no secret. Oh, I'm sorry, there is one, its called patience!!
I was wondering, how did you do the time lapse? Did you just have the camera in one place and never moved it? And how did you know how to stand in what seems to be the exact same spot every day?
awesome video
great transformation man
Thanks! I'm so glad I made the effort. I'm feeling much better.
may I ask your height?
Well done.
Nice work James! I could really see the weight loss in your face.
I'm wondering, what type of diet and exercise did you maintain during the first 3 months? For example, how many calories did you eat on a typical day? How many calories did you burn?
I was cycling 4 times a week and walking. I was down to about 1500 calories a day plus I ate to offset the exercise calories burnt. If I burned 400 calories riding then my total eating was 1500 + 400 = 1900 calories. I now keep my base calories at 2000 a day and add my exercise calories to that.
What's your height?
How did you do it. I’m 250 and wanna lose 50 lbs

Why did you remove your beard?
I'm 12 and weigh 224 and u wanna get down to around 155 or some where around there I don't wanna have health issues and I wanna get it off quick how can I do that
you'll get it quicker if you start now. you got this
I'd try eating more vegetables and fruits and making sure you get out and move every day, even if you start out with just walking around your neighborhood. Get used to being a little more active and try to control your portions so you're not eating too large amounts.
You got this!
Listen, you don't have to eat fruits and veggies to lose weight but it helps with your health, portion control is the main factor, people tell you to eat fruits and veggies because you can eat a lot of them and it will fill you up, but if you ate a normal portion of pizza, or just below it, you'd also lose weight, a long with some increased activity, you'd see an slow and steady weight loss, for me I used to weigh 225 pounds, and now I'm 175, 50 pounds!
So just remember portion control, and activity! :).
go outside and play like a normal kid, you dumbass.

Uncut vers pls
Lookin good!!

driftwud1978 He said he lost it in 2 months.
He either fucked up or is a shitty liar
p.s. please bring back The BBA :)
How you slim down so fast
Great job. What is your daily calorie intake? I lost several 15 pounds easily using a low calorie plan. However, my personal trainer don't want me to get "skinny fat".
When I was losing weight I was down to about 1500 calories a day plus the calories I burnt exercising. Now I am at 2050 a day plus the calories that I burn exercising - which is about 2800 calories per day.
How tall are u
5'10"
After 160lbs you just lost muscle.
Pretty cool! I'm at a loss for words!
I'm on my way too lose it! What exercise ?
Keep up the good work! I use running and biking to help me stay in shape.
How did it work out for you ?
Keep going, you can go to 150 or 140 according to BMI.
🤔 I'm gonna need a bigger before and after sign.
Hi
So how tall are you? Hello?
Kind of crucial information to just leave out, no?
5'10" tall - the height of the average American male.
James Knott do you still drink beer? I've noticed that ever since I took up the "hobby" of drinking craft beer my waistline has expanded. :(

+Eryxias only if you knew how important carbs can be
Six weeks ago I was 242 pounds (110kg). I'm now 220 (100kg) and have lost it by cycling and healthy eating with no snacking (except for fruit). My goal is 165 (75kg). No rush, lifestyle change. Exercise routine and diet, not 'fad' diet which is not sustainable......
Well done by the way and thanks for fuelling my inspiration.
+Alan Franks you can do it! Stay focused! I weighed in at 162 this morning. It is possible to lose weight and keep it off.
James Knott
I watched this video back in febuary at 216 lbs.
I said, no more excuses.
This morning, I was 181 lbs.
When it gets rough I watch your video.
Thanks man.
nice job man. pays off, huh?
Ive been vegan and eating raw til 4 for a few months and jan. 2014 I weighed 302 and now I weigh 253 and still losing. Check out freelee the banana girl and durianrider on youtube. The info they gave me changed my lifestyle for good!

Keto
Did you quit drinking?
No. But, I did cut back. Also, I don't drink nearly as many "imperial" - high ABV beers. They have a lot of sugar in them. One imperial stout can have 300 calories. That's 1/6th of all the calories a person who is losing weight can have in a day.

I just drink liquor with soda water now.
