At 65 years old I was a chain smoking alcoholic and obese at 350 pounds. On my 65th birthday I quit smoking. Then a year later I quit drinking alcohol and started on the Keto diet. 30 months from my 65th birthday I was a non smoking, non drinking svelt 190 pound guy. 6 years later I’m 71 years old and still no smoking, no drinking and under 200 lbs.👍
I’ve been 348 pounds for about a year now. Used to be able to eat 5 jack in the box entrees just for dinner alone plus whatever I would have for lunch and breakfast and snacking constantly. Back in April starting on the 12th I started making changes to my diet including spiralized vegetables in place of pasta and cauliflower rice in place of regular rice in addition to cutting out most bread and lactose and cutting down a lot on sugar plus I drink acv every day. Today I weighed in at 301 pounds. My goal was to get below 300 by September 20th(beginning of fall). Thanks to these simple changes and now only eating 1-2 meals a day, I am less hungry, have created a caloric deficit, exercise daily, and I will be shattering my goal by almost a month. After I get below 300, my new goal will be 275 by the end of the year.
Keep it up. Exercise especially. I used to be that weight, used to be around 350. Im around 235 right now. Took a couple years. I started losing weight at the start.of the pandemic.
That’s awesome! It’s crazy how much changing simple things make a big impact. Hope your journey takes you where you want to go. I reached 297 about a week ago. Now the road to 270 before the end of the year begins. Past couple weeks, starting to notice muscle building in my arms. Gonna keep on the grind. Respect to you!
Hey man, great progress! we're here for you. don't forget that progress isn't linear, you'll have highs and lows but as long as you make it past that then you'll reach your goal. I believe in you
@@mahimer-bb5kg thank you, friend. It’s good to see people across platforms supporting and building each other up. Down to only 295 due to plateauing a bit but still building muscle and eating healthy. Peaks and valleys will happen as you said but just staying consistent is key
I am 42. I was fit and now I am overweight. I start the gym next week and I am not living my life as a fat person anymore. I got alot of respect and attention when fit. I hate that people look at me and treat me differently. I have a Mrs and kids and want to be a better example to my son's. So I am going to use that as my fuel and nail not only weight loss but feeling better in my mind. I have anxiety and have been worried about exercising while over weight, but it's a battle in my mind for my life and I need to win.
Hey man good for you I hope it goes awesome. Don't worry about exercising while overweight, I struggle with it mentally too but a fat person in a gym or walking is way more admirable than a fat person at the drive through 💪 we've got this
For me losing weight was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I lost 70 pounds in 6 months ( from 230 to 160 ) . Good thing I’ve been able to maintain a healthy weight since then using a good diet/ good exercise routine . But it was so hard at the beginning , People say it’s easy to just “ put the fork down “ or to just “ stop eating this and that “ but in reality it’s no where close to being that easy especially when your diet is really bad and you eat a lot. Honestly the only reason why I was able to go on my diet in the first place and last throughout it was because I started to have stomach problems so I had to. If it wasn’t for the stomach problems I probably would have stayed the way I was .
Appreciate your honesty and sharing your experience. Congrats and it shows everything has a silver lining. Stomach problems = the weight loss you wanted. Hope your stomach issues are resolved
That’s good man. It’s crazy how people react differently to their appetites. For me personally I can ignore hunger easily. I can go a day easy with no food. I force myself to eat 3-4 times a day to keep up with my weightlifting gains. Sometimes I stray from my diet and end up losing 20 pounds lol, just because sometimes I’m too lazy to make food.
I lost 10 kgs at the start of the year. I was almost at 80 kgs and got back to 70 being vegan. At 80 I was like wow man time to do something about this. I could really notice it myself. I think fat people are just really irresponsible.
130 lbs down since June of 2018.. This podcast was a *MASSIVE* turning point. EDIT: As of February of 2021, I am now down a total of 150 lbs. Thanks so much for all of the encouragement!
Circassian Dude I lost 130lbs in a very unhealthy way and gained it all back, now I have lost 100 lbs eating fruit veggies nuts and lean meat a tip I could give you is you have to pick a lifestyle you can stick with for the rest of your life hope this help
I struggled with weight growing up, I drank a lot of soda, I weighed 215 in 8th grade, was 6 foot 2+ but, when I got to be an adult I got in great shape. Last year in December I went to the doctor, I weighed 300 pounds. I couldn't believe it, the most shocking part was that the doctor was obese himself and didn't even mention it. I knew then I had to do something. But I continued to do the same things I had been doing. I was speaking to a coworker one day and said, yeah, I eat horrible food every day and it makes me feel like sh!t, it made me open my eyes seriously. I took a long look in the mirror, lost 100 pounds and feel like I'm in my twenties again. I have a toddler, and want to set the best example I can. Another thing that helped was coaching my son's tee-ball team. Those kids 3-4 year olds, didn't care about baseball, didn't even know what it was, but every day we played or practiced, they tried their hardest. I said why don't I do that? Anyway, as you can probably imagine, my life has improved, my relationship with my significant other has improved, I'm a better parent, worker, and person. Diet really matters.
probably about 15 pounds water weight, 7 pounds muscle, and only 3 pounds actual fat. Just an fyi, the body prefers to burn muscle mass instead of fat when people go super low calorie diets.
I watched this 6 months ago when I was almost 300 lbs. I’m now 245 and still going 💪 **edit** wow you are all my motivation! Thank you for making this such a positive thread!! The quarantine definitely threw me off track a bit... I used some that nice stimulus $$$ to get a new bike!!! The grind never stops keep going strong!! Update I’m 240 and back on it!
M L intermittent fasting! I try to eat smaller meals between 12 PM and 8 PM. Started to introduce more veggies in my diet. I cut out the sugars and sodas my first month and dropped 10 lbs. the hardest part getting started was training my stomach to stop being so reliant on carbs and sugars. Once I got past that it became a lot easier!
This 6 minute video took me 45 minutes because i had to pause every 5 seconds to google these terms this man was using. absolutely love it and learned so much. Thank you
My youngest son was 260 pounds, he decided that he didn’t want to be that weight anymore and started doing what he needed to to loose weight. It took him some time, but he went from 260 to 170 and he did it himself. I’m so proud of him.
You might want to insert his height for reference. That could help. I weigh 260. I'm 6 ft 3. I'm proportionate. Might want to put the height in their stupid
I'm down 28lbs, stopped eating fast food, smoking and sodas. Got off my fatass and started walking and working out. I'm getting stronger and losing weight every day. Thanks Goggins.
@@Sunflower-ug3eh while excess fat is never good, it’s also not good to be overly skinny. It’s good to have a little meat on your bones. Congrats on losing weight! But my opinion is my opinion, keep doing what benefits you and helps you feel better. 🤙🏼
Thank you for talking about this subject. I had a beautiful woman friend that could not stop eating so she had surgery. Now she is normal size but still wants to eat but literally doesn't have the stomach for it. What she eats now doesn't look to be enough to support a healthy body. Still I remember her eating an entire pie all by herself on Thanksgiving after every one of us had finished eating the meal and completely stuffed but my lovely friend could eat more. THAT BROKE MY HEART!!!
she will gain it all back watch. Coworker did the same thing..after about a yr it came back. "Surgery didnt work" came from her mouth, somehow the Dr fault. Naw....ate too dam much lol
That dude was lying about fat people eating like average bodied people. All the fatties I know take huge portions and eat junk. They don't drink water either. I only eat when I'm hungry and I'm mindful of my gut size. Normal people take responsibility for their body and don't make excuses.
I love the fact Joe listens to his guests. Never interrupting, never has to be the center of attention. That's one of the reasons he has millions of listeners.
I'm post menopausal, 5'4" and 115 lbs. The key for me is intermittent fasting. I still consume sugar in small bits, but it's mostly protein, veg, and fats.
People will misinterpret this as "it's not your fault that you're fat". That is not what he's saying, you still need to play an active role in your weight loss.
It's funny how staying active and eating healthy your whole life will keep you from getting fat. My dad is fat as fuck and my mom isn't exactly in shape but I turned out just fine. Genetics are just a tiny part of it, your actions are the real determining factor.
Yeah just means you have more work to do. The amount of calories someone needs to sustain their body mass can vary up to 30% by person. That's huge. I'm average size and my body runs on about 1600 kcal. Gotta go to around 1400 to start loosing weight. Meanwhile by every account I should be having a 400 calorie deficit at 1600 but nope. Just gotta work extra hard. And building muscle mass helps burn more at rest.
My doctor told me not to go low-carb and just count calories even though I was showing signs of insulin resistance. She also told me not to worry so much about building muscle or exercising because weight loss is 90% diet. I’m a 5’2 woman with PCOS and I was gaining weight eating 1200 calories a day, and going for a jog 3 times per week. I followed doctors orders despite this and ended up with nutrient deficiencies and ovarian cysts. My cortisol levels were also borderline too high. My doctor assumed I was lying about diet and exercise. I’m so glad I actually learned about endocrinology and nutrition in college enough that I could read into the latest research and eventually understand that my doctor’s advice was ridiculous. I needed to improve my sensitivity to insulin by taking inositols, building muscle, doing yoga, eating low carb, intermittent fasting, eating anti-inflammatory foods and managing stress. I can eat 1400-1600 calories per day and still be in a deficit now that my insulin resistance, vitamin deficiencies and inflammation are addressed. Work smarter before you work harder! And don’t assume your doctor is up-to-date on the latest research!
You probably were not actually eating 1200 calories. If you stay on deficit long enough all those benefits will come without doing all that nonsense. All you’ve done is increased activity and indirectly gone into a higher deficit. Changing the other patterns that you mentioned literally do nothing, if anything it does the opposite of balancing anything.
@@williamdiazsantos7418 In most definitely know how to count calories, I’ve been doing it my whole life with registered dietitians teaching me. I gained weight at that time because I put on lots of inflammatory fluid from The over exercise and hormonal imbalances, and my metabolism slowed down so much I was actually referred by my endocrinologist to be studied in a university lab. My BMR was only 1090 at the time. No offense but I’m going to trust literal scientists on this over you internet stranger. I was not able to lose fat without eating so little I developed nutrient deficiency. My hair was out in chunks, I was fainting regularly, I was deeply depressed and unable to focus, my nails were brittle, I looked like I was going through chemo. It’s not super common for cases to be this extreme but it does happen and people need to understand how to lose the weight by working with their body rather than against it. Why would I lose weight in a way that made me sicker and more miserable when I could just lose it in a way that made me healthier? My insulin and cortisol level are almost completely normal now and my BMR is closer to 1200, so as long as I’m active I can eat way more while still losing weight because of it. It’s a no-brainer.
You should have run for the hills when your Dr didn't say "lower your carb intake" How long is it going to take to get this in the zeitgeist Carbs are Sugar and you must lower your sugar intake to lose weight. This has been proven now for at least 20 years. Saturated fat is not the culprit! Sugar is!
@@williamdiazsantos7418it doesn't work since food and water are getting more and more modified with all sorts of chemicals causing our bodies to go crazy. Also kortizol is one hell of a demon it can literally block your whole metabolic system and you will either keep on losing weight you will start losing your hair and teeth skin will get ichy and dry or you can gain fat fast unable to lose a single pound no matter what.
Keto done properly and lean into Carnivore. It’s a way to drop insulin resistance and diabetes. Eat fats. Use them. Sugar and carbs and low fat diets make everything worse. Bloodwork doesn’t lie. I’ve improved in every metric.
I am 300 pounds so I started fasting and every time I want something to eat I just ask myself do I love eating or do I want to see my 3 year old grandson grow up. One month down 22 pounds.
Michael Noland thanks . After smoking for over 20 years my stepdaughter was getting severe nosebleeds so the doctor told her it was because someone in the house smoked. Of Course I said bull to that so I made her a deal I would quit smoking until she got another nosebleed 25 years latter I still don’t smoke. Sometimes you just need the right motivation in life.
The thing that broke me and made me want to change was at the age of 12 I said if I ever go over 200lbs I would not eat and starve myself to go back down. At 13 I hit 207. I was so close to losing it and just not eating anything for the rest of my life but I tried to give weightloss one last shot, its been 3 months since I turned 13 and I am now down to 189lbs by intermittent fasting and some exercise, I still have a long way till im down to my goal but im glad im here. Although sometimes it feels as if nothing changed, cause nobody except my family knows and kids at school still make fun of me and even outside of school ive been told to kill myself because of the way I look, so it almost doesnt feel real and it feels like im the same as i was before, anyway the reason im writing this post is to say that if anybody else is going through a similar situation of mine then please know that you can do it, no matter what others tell you.
Keep it up man. You’ll be a happier person on all levels. Trust me. I’m turning 40 this year and I’ve been plump/fat half of my life. I lost weight a couple of times but always striggled with yo-yo. The hardest thing is consistency and keeping the weight down. Do it while your young. The older you are, the harder it will be because of stress and other stuff.
I was obese an lost all my weight it took about two years almost but I still lost it people friends family dont even recognize me anymore lol still till this day I'm proud of it. Hard work dedication
I love this. I have been reading about all of this for over two years now, and this dude just broke it down in 7 minutes. This information is PURE GOLD!
johnny j losing weigh is easy .... 1. Remove fast food. 2. Cut down sugar. 3. Add apple cider vinegar to water ( 15 ml ) daily .avoid if ulcer. Add lots of veggie and less white flour .
@@mirabella2154 sounds like you don't know how to get out of the rabbit hole. Depression like alcoholism is a disease that can be overcome, it doesn't happen overnight, but it's possible.
I have massive respect for joe rogan and enjoy his podcasts and joe is very knowledgeable but his facts on obesity could not be misguided. Really glad he had this very knowledgeable guest on .my brother in law was 388.00 pounds and lots of work redirecting his food intake and eating the right foods he is down to 237.00 lbs and no longer dealing with type 2 diabetes.
What they say in the first 2 minutes is SO TRUE! A guy I went to college with lost like 50 pounds because instead of consuming 2500 calories in one meal once a day, he started consuming those 2500 calories in smaller meals over the course of the day. Gave him more energy during the day so he started doing more physical things like going on walks more. It’s so true that sometimes, overweight people are not eating an insane amount compared to others. Just eating incorrectly.
For me and many many thousands of others, eating once a day or eating in a small window of time has had the same effect. It is not wrong, and I am not saying eating many times a day is wrong. Although eating many times a day spikes your insulin many times a day which makes it harder to lose weight for many many people. I broke my back and gained tons of weight because of the inactivity. Went to intermittent fasting and cut way back on carbs and lost over 40 pounds while recovering and with zero exercise. Lost even more now that I can move. So there are many ways to lose weight and the intermittent fasting is just one large very proven method that works. It is just as important what you eat as to when you eat. 2,000 calories of high carbs can slam the weight on you much faster than 2,000 calories of healthy fats and low carbs. Calories are not all alike.
Food addiction is also a real problem. Like, my friends dont understand that if I start eating potato chips or pizza, it's incredibly hard for me to stop. Thats why I'd rather just ignore what people are eating and try to eat my own healthier foods.
Yup, there are tons of meals that I can eat at a very specific portion, weighed out, and be very satisfied. But if a pizza is in my house, I basically can't stop eating it until it's gone. It's better to not have it around.
thats because of the shit they put in chips and food. They put additives that make you want more and crave more. Thats why its best to eat fresh, non processed foods
@@LoGiCcLaN2 I knew there had to be something in those foods other than they just taste better because some really don't, but I still find myself not being able to stop eating them. Thank you so much for sharing this!! Knowing this will change my life for sure. That is very empowering to know!!
@@NJLev refined carbs* eating your junk carbs like chips and bread will definitely make you want more but if you get your carbs from, lets say rice, youll be fine and should be full
I am 5' 11" tall I was 320 lbs for many years. I went from 320 lbs to 185 lbs in less than a year (no carbs, not sugar no snacking after diner). Then I went to the gym and built 25 lbs of muscle. I am so happy for the huge prize I won. The prize of health, fitness and good looks. I feel amazing and can run, climb, go on roller-coasters, ride bikes, hike, buy nice clothes. I won a major prize by loosing weight and I owe it all to myself which feels amazing. I never looked back. That was in 2013 and I am still in shape today.
I eat all the carbs i want..ur brain needs it so does ur muscles...i get it when ur obese..but dont start with the carb thing when ur a bodybuilder etc
@@bradleyzum Umm the average person....(beginner) can build 25 lbs of muscle in around a year...beginners do it all the time....It plateues after that.....Schwarzenegger had quite a bit more than 25 lbs of muscle mass than he would have as a beginner....I dont know why you think this is unattainable..It is quite common in a bodybuilders early lifting advancement.....
If you’re watching this video and believe you can’t lose weight, I promise you, it is possible. I was 240 lbs back in April/May 2023, and in November 2023 I’m about 205. I started walking 3 miles per day before work, and started doing a small exercise while making dinner, whether it’s 100 push ups, 100 body weight squats, something like that. Find small gaps throughout your day that give you an opportunity to do something active, it’ll do wonders.
Stress effects so much. I didn’t change my diet just my job and lost 40 pounds in a month over covid. I had a high stress job where I was in constant fear mode. I didn’t change my eating and dropped weight so fast it was crazy.
I was 330 at my highest, and all I can say to people who are overweight and who want to be a normal weight, it will likely be the toughest AND most rewarding thing you've ever done.
Just dont eat at night and stop eating rice spaghetti and bread... this is what works for me, when i want to cut i just dont have dinner, not easy but possible... harder if you dont have a job or something to do trough the day
I was 6"3 and 320. In January stopped eating shit, not eating after super, no carbs, limited sugars, and moderate to heavy weights 3-4 times a week, light cardio. Im down 70 pounds.
It really is the most rewarding thing you can ever do. I have lost 102 pounds since the start of my weight loss journey 9 months ago. I was 298 pounds. If you put in the work and stay consistent with it and just overall are living a healthier lifestyle, then you will see results. It all just takes time. Don't give up!
I weighed 500 pounds at my heaviest, i'm down to 280 now. Still pretty far off from being healthy.. but i think its a decent improvement in my overall health. Biggest thing is occupying my mind, boredom is my single greatest enemy in weight loss.
For me the hard part is getting myself to go out and also dealing with depression. Last time I lost 150 pounds I had to hit my rock bottom I couldn't live with how I felt about myself so I did something about it at walked every day for 3 years and lost the 150 pounds.
I like how joe just sits there and listens and doesn’t not interrupt him at any moment. He always gives his guests the opportunity to express their opinion no matter if he agrees with them or not.
He talked over a lot of guest, usually he gets distracted by others in the studio. Notice when he shuts up it’s because Bravonand others aren’t there. Get the wrong person in the room interviews like this never go well.
Some of us aren’t eating like crazy. After my hysterectomy, my thyroid stopped working correctly. There wasn’t a diagnostic test until I developed a goiter. During that time I gained 65 pounds. I have never had energy again like I used to. I gain weight every time my THC test is out of normal limits. It is awful to be a normal healthy weight to being fat. It is terrible on my self-esteem. There is no help if you don’t have diabetes or high blood pressure.
@Joshua Sipple You should watch his video where he talks about the art of conversations. And how we lost it. Even guys like Neil deGrasse Tyson suck at it.
If he explained it so everyone would understand he wouldn’t have a business lol. All he said is people who are losing weight need to cut down on anything that makes them produce large quantities of insulin which promotes fat storage
I set a goal of losing ideally 40 lbs but realistically 20 lbs at the beginning of summer and now at the end I'm down 36, from 364 to 328. I'm hoping for 315 by the end of the year. Most people lose weight easier in warmer weather but I'm the opposite as I struggle with sweet drinks to help with the heat, and replace it with unsweetened tea in cold weather. So I'm hopeful! My end goal is to be 220 in 4-5 years. I have a broad frame and I am some what taller so a somewhat muscular 220 would be a good weight for me, not looking to be in model shape, I'm in my mid thirties and have been hit by to many injuries and illnesses to delude myself with that being realistic for me. A stocky build is doable and vastly better than I am now. Replacing pasta with unprocessed grains and potatoes, way upping my fat intake, focusing on protein and reducing carbs to a realistic degree.
@4:00 1) Lower Insulin (prolong fasting, intermittent fasting, alternate-day fasting, or ketogenic diet) 2) Lower Cortisol (less stress, more sleep, better relationships) 3) Higher Testosterone (high intensity interval training, lift weights, play sports, or supplement) 4) Lower Estrogen (eat leafy greens and lose weight) 5) Hormone Sensitive Lipase & Growth Hormone (stand & walk more) CZcams video: “Top 5 Exercises To Lose Belly Fat Naturally At Home” Visceral Fat is 95% Diet Problem and 5% an Exercise Problem 1) Insulin - Eating too often and too much 2) Cortisol - Too much Stress, and/or not enough sleep 3) Fatty Liver - Too much sugar/alcohol/carbohydrates Best Exercises: Walking, Treadmill, Elliptical, Stationary Bike (keep it Aerobic, low intensity) Crunches, Planks, Pilates, Core Strength, Yoga High Intensity Interval Training: Burpees, Bike, Stairs, Weightlifting: High Intensity, Low Reps (NOT circuit training) Increases Human Growth Hormone, Increases Metabolism, Improves Muscles & Brain.
6 months ago I decided to change my lifestyle. I started monitoring what I was eating. Using the Lose It App to set Calorie Limits for myself. I drink much less Soda than I used to. Overall I eat much less than I used to. I don’t eat snack food between meals anymore. That, along with working out more often and longer. Made a big difference. I’ve lost over 30 pounds. My T-Shirts weren’t fitting me and were too small, and now they all fit again. Simply being self aware, and having portion control, I think can make the biggest difference.
How long was the process over time for you? I'm working on getting rid of all processed foods and sugar in general. Water tastes so much better after 3 weeks of no sugar.
Well...its going but every year is a cycle, winter almost 90kg and by august im 80kg...3 years in a row now :D (Im 18 yo, 185cm - not really trying to loose weight but gain muscle, doing something wrong obviously)
Keep at it kid, you're at an age where you have a fast metabolism and with a healthy diet and some exercise, you'll lose the excessive fat in no time :)
The main takeaway; High Stress = Fat. This is incredibly accurate. I’ve been exercising properly and intensely for many years, eat very clean, all my vitals are ideal for my age and my doctor even said I have “above average cardio levels for my age” (24y/o man). However, I have severe stress which makes me looks chubby, especially around my midsection and face. But I’ll notice when my stress levels go down, I lean up quite significantly. When they go up, I puff back up.
People dont realize is If what you say is really impossible, you would be litterly a super human, Back in time where you have fat to cover days were you dont have any food and your Body goes to your fat, now Imagine you eat less and your Body dosent Go to your reserve, thats Not how the human Body works izs Impossible
It does not eatingto much does I used to have tha6 problem lost 150 pounds by simply eating less and exercising Mai tailed it despite eating the same way I did as an obese guy justless of it
@user-ij9vy3oy1y nice to see someone here other then me tha6 gets this and isn't a total fucking moron thank you sir for your level of common sense this guy in the video Isa fucking moron more poepleneed to realize it other than me and you
@@piraat070 That's just your mentality. If you have weak mental it's hard to quit things. I drank soda everyday, at least 4 sodas a day, I am 24 and been drinking them since i was a kid. I realized what it can do to me long run i.e my teeth, weight. Next day I just quit soda and haven't had 1 in 6 months. If you really want something you will do it, simple.
A year ago I was 62 years old 5’7 275 now Im 42 years old 6’ and 185. All it took was watching a bunch of CZcams videos on how to lose weight and gain muscle. To be clear, I didn’t DO what they said but I watched a lot of videos! Information is power!
@@phantomfire7205 it depends on height and body composition as well. 180lbs at 6ft (185cm) is good on paper but if you're carrying a high amount of adipose/fat it would paint a different picture.
A great thing about creating a diet for a certain length of time is how it translates your mood into creating more disclipline for yourself in other fields. Organising and rearranging that one aspect of your life will spill into other areas of your life and improve them. For example, you get up earlier, or start becoming more productive with your time. Take up a new hobbies, begin new projects - because food becomes a substinence and no longer an indulgence to you. This will have a positive impact on your hormone levels. So for many, including me, our diet is our discipline. Which diet did I take? "Zero" carb, for a month. Eating was hella boring, but taking up excercise felt like the best compliment for it. I lost practically a stone in 2 weeks.
Just graduated from a nutrition course after finishing this video. However, I had no idea of enrolling in the nutrition course when I started playing this video.
Found this out about 10 yrs ago. Cortisol primarily has quite a bit of a dominant role as we age, coupled with eating foods with past 2-3 day shelf life even tefrigerated. I looked back at photos of my grandparents. They ate at home. A protein, veggies, and a starch with a full glass of water AND a cup of wine every night. Took walks after dinner. Dressed well. Hair neat. Always in shape. Not all habits were “good” but the majority were….
I have a dear childhood friend who's always been big. Ever since we were little tots, he's always been bigger than everybody else. His parents fostered him to eat more than he should, so for him, eating too much is simply in his nature. He doesn't know any other way. Because of this, losing weight is incredibly, incredibly difficult. I really hope things change for him, but I'm not optimistic.
I remember working security with this guy who was about 430. He was dispatch and would drink a 2liter coke, eat lunch and snacks throughout the shift. He got a crush on a co-worker and she worked out with and coached him through it. Dude is now 180 and stuck in the friend zone but damn what a journey. He said for lunch he would go to White Castle and get a 10pc Moz sticks. 4 burgers,fries and drink. When he started counting calories he had no idea that one meal was almost his daily intake. The 10pc alone was over 1000 calories. I need to step up myself I'm close to 300 now. I should probably give him a call.
@Rhaegar Nope, she became a police officer so she's getting banged out by other officers and he is still her best friend. He's most likely going to sit idly by until she is ready to settle down.
That’s another thing people don’t understand. The amount of food that people actually consume in a caloric sense is so much higher than they think. When you go to McDonalds one burger is or above 1000 calories. Then you eat a second and fries and a coke. That shit adds up. Lastly when you eat healthier you feel better. I used to feel sluggish after I ate. I was constantly napping after meals. Not anymore. Also don’t eat past like 7:30 - 8 if you can.
Intermittent fasting, eating mainly protein and vegetables, and working out 2-4 times a week will get you in good shape. Also avoid sugar, fast food and processed foods.
I've been looking into intermittent fasting... wouldn't the healthy diet of protein/veg, no processed food work on its own? I don't understand the reasoning for doing it although I'm very interested.
@@caliv0608 It could work, but way faster with the hormonal effects of intermittent fasting. HGH and insulin sensitivity especially. I do wonder if eating frequently is fine as long as your lover never really fills up, which if I'm right means not much insulin would be needed. Basically don't eat a big handful of nuts late at night (healthy, but calories so your liver will never empty) and skip breakfast or have it late/early lunch, and you'll be rocking.
Never was a fan of intermittent fasting unless it fits your lifestyle and you like to do that. I could be wrong though. I think calorie deficit with 4-6 small meals a day could be more beneficial, and you'll probably feel better throughout the day. But if 1 big meal a day fits your life, then fasting is probably the best thing to do.
@@LucianoOGgt I just don't think it's natural to eat so many times every day. Do hunters/ people long ago eat 6 small meals? 2 or 3, and once a week 0 might be ideal. I think our bodies aren't set up for food so frequently and never go into autophagy without breaks. The benefits of autophagy are undeniable imo.
I just got into middle age, I'm 38 going on 39, and I am just realizing how hard it is to control weight gain and losing weight is a massively hard thing to do now.
He is actually a doctor named Peter Attia...he gave a TED talk once about the way diabetes is being wrongly classified based on a life experience. czcams.com/video/UMhLBPPtlrY/video.html
I'm a medical student who recently learned about everything he just talked about. The thing I've realized as a medical student is you don't need to be a medical student to understand this stuff (at least with wikipedia on hand). Just need to sit down (with some good learning material...like my favorite go to source, wikipedia) and work it out. I used to be critical of morbidly obese people, but now I am starting to realize staying a healthy weight and body composition is much more difficult for some people They didn't go into how our brains are wired. In our hypothalamus we have what is called the lateral nucleus that makes us hungry and the ventromedial nucleus which makes us not hungry. If either one of those is destroyed (as happens sometimes in a stroke) the affected individual will feel either extreme hunger or no hunger at all. These nuclei are in turn stimulated or inhibited by ghrelin (makes you hungry) and leptin (makes you full). No person's brain is the same, so it's a given people will differ in how much hunger they feel. I for example AM ALWAYS HUNGRY. Two of my uncles were morbidly obese and died from that (one at 48 yrs and the other at 55 yrs). Most of my family members are obese. I used to be obese. I had grown up with all this bullshit advice that "you need to eat breakfast to be healthy" and eat well so your brain can function. Bullshit. Out brains do just fine using ketone bodies (from fat) instead of glucose (sugar) for energy (unless we are diabetic (don't produce enough/any insulin) as explained in the youtube clip). Anyways, I lost 40 pounds in a year and now my BMI is 24 (down from 30) and am very healthy. However I am ALWAYS HUNGRY. I can eat two gallons of ice cream in a day and still be hungry. How did I bring my weight to a healthy weight? =>By restricting my calorie intake through intermittent fasting (I eat 1-2 times a day and sometimes don't eat at all some days). Does that mean I am not hungry? No, far from it. So please, if its not hard for you to keep off weight don't judge those who do struggle. It may be a 100x harder for them to not eat. That said, if you are like me (always hungry) accept that you have to have some mild hunger most of the time in order to not become obese. Nothing is wrong with you, it's just that your ancestors must have evolved an overactive lateral nucleus in your hypothalamus in order to not have starved to death (hunger can be a powerful motivator in pushing a person or animal to get food). That's my theory anyway.
@@shawnreed7876 Hunger signals or not, it's all about eating healthy. You know what I do when I'm hungry? I eat meat or nuts or ANYTHING without sugar. You said yourself at one point you could have eaten 2 gallons of ice cream and still be hungry... Why would you choose to eat ice cream when you're hungry and expect not to be fat? Morbidly obese people eat like shit. It IS their fault that they're in the state they're in.
@@ohlord3650 Exactly. Ice cream has too many calories. By consuming too many calories one becomes fat. In my case if I am to remain "unhungry" I become fat. Once I embraced hunger I came down to a healthy weight.
I knew one personal trainer who had one non-negotiable rule. He was asking his clients if they were willing to change their eating habits by eating cleaner and healthier and in the beginning, even go with stricter diet. If they weren’t willing to change their diet, he wasn’t accepting those customers, even if they wanted to pay a lot of money. He knew how important of a role the food played in achieving results.
That's actually a good business move on his part as well. Those clients that were willing to change their diet on average lost so much more weight compared to their counter parts that weren't willing. That made him look like a more competent trainer & made him more attractive to new clients. The long game at it's finest.
I think there is a lot of underdianosed endocrinology issues as well. Pituitary adenoma's or cysts - Low T for men, moderate cushings syndrome or hypercortisolism, thyroid. These things can be borderline for a long time until a major issue is found, and the issues can be chalked up to "getting older", "havent been eating quite as well.."
In 1980, people probably didn’t sit around and watch CZcams. This is especially true for children, who make up a large portion of that increased percentage. Kids played outside and learned to be active. They didn’t have to have their parents helicopter over them the whole time either. It was normal to see groups of kids riding bikes together or playing games. Now with the 24-hour new cycle, everyone is paranoid that the streets are infested with perverts and child predators. These days, if you let your kids walk to the park by themselves, you are a bad parent. Better to let them play video games inside where it’s “safe”.
in 2022, if you want start a real fight, just say people are fat because they eat too much calories…it way much more dangerous than politics or religion…lost some friends ( the worst are the mother of fat kid, they cannot accept that fact without going bananas, like you judge theirs kids) The business succedd to paint who say that physics thruths as judmental
I’m 6’7” - 260lbs (200cm - 18.5 stone) and considered obese by the BMI while everyone in my life says I’m too skinny. 🤷♂️ Maybe the definition is skewed ignoring the increasing height of people?
I was obese at 270 pounds at my peak with sleep apnea, fatigued, tired, asthmatic, and borderline diabetic. In 2½ years I managed to lose over 100lbs. I'm now 46 years of age 5'11" at 164lbs size 32 waist and building ab muscles. I'm more active than ever. Did two triathlons last year, do a lot of hiking, kayaking, running, bicycling, weights. I don't get fatigued anymore. I'm sleeping better than ever; breathing better than ever, eating better than ever; feel better than ever. It's amazing.
@@jasmines.6325 The first year of weight loss the only thing I did was cutting thr pasta, the bread and the rice completely out of my diet. I never liked sodas so that wasn't a problem. But I did occasionally ate sweets. I changed nothing else in that first year. I drop only 20 lbs. So that wasn't enough. So I completely changed my diet to more veggies and less meats. A LOT of veggies. That's when the change really kicked in. Then after I lost about 50 or 60 lbs then I started incorporating exercises. Now I have been at 162lbs and keeping it there.
I was 67kgs before pregnancy, then I reached maybe 100kgs during pregnancy. Apart from the fact that I had fluid retention, I ate so much junk food (gained fat) to the point I couldn't breath. After I gave birth, I started counting kcals, and I losed 35kgs. Now I am in my second pregnancy, have cravings, but I don't do the same mistake. It depends on the body type I guess. I am mesomorph, have thick bones and I can easy make body muscles, but generally, when I eat more then usual (not without control) I can bulk very easy without even trying which as a woman I hate it because I don't like to get broader arms or calves.
Also has to do with climate. I think people whose genetics come from more northernly latitudes who live closer to the equator will find it more difficult to lose weight. If they moved to places like Canada, or Alaska, they might find maintaining their weight much easier. Activity plays the biggest role, however.
I’m 6’4 and at 305 right now and trying to accomplish the same goal Just started my first week of hard intermittent fasting and keto diet with 8 hour food window , and doing a lot of H I I T workout 3 days weekly and lots of yoga and calisthenics and so far I haven’t felt more sore or more better in a long time Sedimentary lifestyle, inconsistent diet and exercise schedule, letting stress control job All caused me to balloon Fasting and exercise immediately can re train your mind and rekindle your spirit quickly if you can get over that first 20 to 24 hour hump of the first fast
I started at 314 lbs and I didn't really feel that bad, I had my friends and family who loved me and I was known as funny big brother. and then one day my younger brother wanted my help on a math problem. he's on the second floor of my house. by the time I got up the stairs I had a tight shortness of breath. I started seeing spots and I had to take a breather. I am supposed to be the example and I was being weak. so I finally bought a scale and every day I jogged as far as I could and walk back. I only drank water and only ate once my stomach really growled. it's been about 5 months and I'm down to 246 lbs. it was hard and my shins hurt and my stomach never growled much but It's been progress. I do feel better and stairs don't scare me as they used to but the reason I did it was so I could keep being the funny big brother and not the dead big brother in 15,10 or 5 years. I know it's gonna be a life struggle but you gotta do it for yourself and the people that love you. do it for them man.
Very inspirational! have you ever heard of hiit training? it worked wonders for me. Andd a faster way to lose weight in a shorter amount of time. All it took was 20 mins a day. I reccomend it for anyone trying to lose weight.
Read Dr.Atkins book titled Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. He explains ketosis and low carb dieting very thoroughly in this book, it's so easy to understand. Its the book my dad followed to loose 275 lb in a year and 2 months. He kept with low carb eating, he ate all the meat and fat he wanted and got healthy. He started with zero carbs and no caffeine for a week to get the body into the state of ketosis. He used Keto Sticks they are urine test strips. After the first week he gradually added more carbs but not exceeding 40 grams of carbs per day through out his weight loss journey. If the body is in the state of ketosis it can not store fat it can only shed fat and other toxic weight so he ate all the fat and calories he wanted to keep himself satisfied while ketosing. There is no need to count calories as long as you are keeping your carb intake low enough to keep you ketosing. Forty grams of carbs per day is a recommended limit to keep the body in the state of ketosis. If you have a cheat day or cheat meal your body may stop ketosing because of overconsumption of carbs so all you have to do after a cheat day is start over by eating zero carbs and no caffeine for a week to get yourself back into a nice deep ketosis. Caffeine spikes insulin thus slowing weighloss so some people restrict it completely even after the first week to avoid slowed weightloss. Eating fat , especially rich animal fats , while ketosing causes the body to ketose more heavily, provides energy, satisfies appetite healthily, lubricates intestines , eyes and skin and is crucial for organ function including the brain. Animal meats should not be restricted either they are too important for replenishing the muscles and organs. Also, no colon cleansers are needed on a diet that causes the body to ketose, in fact it can be detrimental. I made that mistake and almost killed my kidneys it hurt so bad so I quit colon cleansers while keto dieting and I felt so much better. Ketosis causes the body to naturally cleanse itself including the colon. The body works hard enough while ketosing to shed weight on its own. There are veggies allowed in the first week about 1 cup per day they are practically zero carb. They are listed in Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution book. He also wrote a book giving carb count content of many foods to help you stay on track. I've read both of these books. Keto Sticks are urine test strips. Test every day. If your test shows pink/purple color it means you're ketosing. The darker the pink/purple color means the heavier you're ketosing meaning the faster you are loosing weight. If your test shows no pink/purple color it means you are not ketosing not loosing weight but gaining weight so you have to keep eating zero carbs and no caffeine until pink/purple color shows on your test. Eating practically zero carbs for a week should get your body into deep ketosis. Sorry to repeat myself but I hope this info helps people loose weight fast like my dad did. I don't rely on the Atkins foods for weightloss though because I don't like the sweeteners and other ingredients in alot of them. I mostly eat meat, fat, low carb veggies and low carb fruit ,nuts not so many cashews, unlimited butter, full fat sour cream and mayo. I pray you understand it completely in Jesus' name. God's blessings to ya! 😉
I'm glad someone said it. I'm the most health conscious and healthy person I know. I fast regularly, juice and stay active by either running or walking almost daily, yet I'm also one of the biggest people I know. It's frustrating but at least I'm not gaining weight.
I've started fasting for 20 hours and stopped consuming foods with excess sugar. I'm nearly 20 pounds down since Jan. Drink lots of water. It's easy sticking to my fast because it's something I developed throughout my life from skipping breakfast and lunch in school.
Right?! He was truly learning, listening in deep and I feel he's still hurt about his friend's passing away. You can tell he was concerned tho. 💚 Love Joe. RIP to his dear friend 💙.
i was 90kg in 2022 but now after ditching fast food and chicken and daily workout..im back to 62kg as today,feel like im on my teenage age..video like this encourage my to lose my weight❤❤❤
Great explanation. I have spent long periods of time overseas and every time I leave the United States I seem to lose weight and every time I return to the United States I gain weight. I have identified several factors that have affected me personally. First, is the large amounts and low quality of foods that we consume here. We have to stop eating fast food and junk food or we are never going to get a hold of the obesity problem. Second is the sedentary lifestyles we have. Without a question we need to move our bodies more. Third is the relatively poor healthcare system we have. We have good facilities, good doctors, hospitals, medications, etc., but it is expensive and inaccessible to many, and fourth, the stress. We live in a very stressful country where they have sold us the idea that we should be working, working, working all the time and we get excited when we get two weeks vacation per year. We are stressed out, fatigued, and addicted to junk food.
@@SAMSARALIVEEEEEE not really, you just have to buy nutritious 1 ingredient foods. Even if it still cost more then junk it cost less in terms of medical surgeries.

Lol. Same.
Nice!!!

At 65 years old I was a chain smoking alcoholic and obese at 350 pounds.
On my 65th birthday I quit smoking. Then a year later I quit drinking alcohol and started on the Keto diet.
30 months from my 65th birthday I was a non smoking, non drinking svelt 190 pound guy.
6 years later I’m 71 years old and still no smoking, no drinking and under 200 lbs.👍
That’s awesome

@@PickleThePigwhy so negative bruh? Compensating for something?
@G41251 Congratulations man, that's huge. Glad your still here, good to know you have finally found peace in life.
Incredible
I’ve been 348 pounds for about a year now. Used to be able to eat 5 jack in the box entrees just for dinner alone plus whatever I would have for lunch and breakfast and snacking constantly. Back in April starting on the 12th I started making changes to my diet including spiralized vegetables in place of pasta and cauliflower rice in place of regular rice in addition to cutting out most bread and lactose and cutting down a lot on sugar plus I drink acv every day. Today I weighed in at 301 pounds. My goal was to get below 300 by September 20th(beginning of fall). Thanks to these simple changes and now only eating 1-2 meals a day, I am less hungry, have created a caloric deficit, exercise daily, and I will be shattering my goal by almost a month. After I get below 300, my new goal will be 275 by the end of the year.
Keep it up. Exercise especially. I used to be that weight, used to be around 350. Im around 235 right now. Took a couple years. I started losing weight at the start.of the pandemic.
That’s awesome! It’s crazy how much changing simple things make a big impact. Hope your journey takes you where you want to go. I reached 297 about a week ago. Now the road to 270 before the end of the year begins. Past couple weeks, starting to notice muscle building in my arms. Gonna keep on the grind. Respect to you!
Update: Achieved 299 pounds on August 30th. New end of year goal is 265 pounds
Hey man, great progress! we're here for you. don't forget that progress isn't linear, you'll have highs and lows but as long as you make it past that then you'll reach your goal. I believe in you
@@mahimer-bb5kg thank you, friend. It’s good to see people across platforms supporting and building each other up. Down to only 295 due to plateauing a bit but still building muscle and eating healthy. Peaks and valleys will happen as you said but just staying consistent is key

I am 42. I was fit and now I am overweight. I start the gym next week and I am not living my life as a fat person anymore. I got alot of respect and attention when fit. I hate that people look at me and treat me differently. I have a Mrs and kids and want to be a better example to my son's. So I am going to use that as my fuel and nail not only weight loss but feeling better in my mind. I have anxiety and have been worried about exercising while over weight, but it's a battle in my mind for my life and I need to win.
Hope your journey goes well, you got this🤘
@@vincentrock5601 Thanks alot.
Hey man good for you I hope it goes awesome. Don't worry about exercising while overweight, I struggle with it mentally too but a fat person in a gym or walking is way more admirable than a fat person at the drive through 💪 we've got this
@@thecinematicexperience420 yes that it bro, we have got this 💪
Start walking and work your way up slowly. Try to have a balanced diet at least 80% of the time, it may take longer but the weight will fall off.
For me losing weight was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I lost 70 pounds in 6 months ( from 230 to 160 ) . Good thing I’ve been able to maintain a healthy weight since then using a good diet/ good exercise routine . But it was so hard at the beginning , People say it’s easy to just “ put the fork down “ or to just “ stop eating this and that “ but in reality it’s no where close to being that easy especially when your diet is really bad and you eat a lot. Honestly the only reason why I was able to go on my diet in the first place and last throughout it was because I started to have stomach problems so I had to. If it wasn’t for the stomach problems I probably would have stayed the way I was .
Appreciate your honesty and sharing your experience. Congrats and it shows everything has a silver lining. Stomach problems = the weight loss you wanted. Hope your stomach issues are resolved
@@micksuff8422 thanks, and as for the stomach issues they gotten better so far but I’m still working on it
That’s good man. It’s crazy how people react differently to their appetites. For me personally I can ignore hunger easily. I can go a day easy with no food. I force myself to eat 3-4 times a day to keep up with my weightlifting gains. Sometimes I stray from my diet and end up losing 20 pounds lol, just because sometimes I’m too lazy to make food.
@@amazinglats6020 refined foods create “chemical cravings” it’s like you’re going through withdrawals for food
I lost 10 kgs at the start of the year. I was almost at 80 kgs and got back to 70 being vegan. At 80 I was like wow man time to do something about this. I could really notice it myself. I think fat people are just really irresponsible.
130 lbs down since June of 2018.. This podcast was a *MASSIVE* turning point.

I struggled with weight growing up, I drank a lot of soda, I weighed 215 in 8th grade, was 6 foot 2+ but, when I got to be an adult I got in great shape. Last year in December I went to the doctor, I weighed 300 pounds. I couldn't believe it, the most shocking part was that the doctor was obese himself and didn't even mention it. I knew then I had to do something. But I continued to do the same things I had been doing. I was speaking to a coworker one day and said, yeah, I eat horrible food every day and it makes me feel like sh!t, it made me open my eyes seriously. I took a long look in the mirror, lost 100 pounds and feel like I'm in my twenties again. I have a toddler, and want to set the best example I can. Another thing that helped was coaching my son's tee-ball team. Those kids 3-4 year olds, didn't care about baseball, didn't even know what it was, but every day we played or practiced, they tried their hardest. I said why don't I do that? Anyway, as you can probably imagine, my life has improved, my relationship with my significant other has improved, I'm a better parent, worker, and person. Diet really matters.
Good on you for taking the responsibility and being there for your kids. Hope you're still doing ok.

Thats really not the case though maybe you need to rewatch the video.
I'm post menopausal, 5'4" and 115 lbs. The key for me is intermittent fasting. I still consume sugar in small bits, but it's mostly protein, veg, and fats.
Do you fast one day a week? Or do you do time-restricted eating?
People will misinterpret this as "it's not your fault that you're fat". That is not what he's saying, you still need to play an active role in your weight loss.
That's the reality of black and white thinking.
I bet you are thin and never struggled with weight.
It's funny how staying active and eating healthy your whole life will keep you from getting fat. My dad is fat as fuck and my mom isn't exactly in shape but I turned out just fine. Genetics are just a tiny part of it, your actions are the real determining factor.
Yeah just means you have more work to do. The amount of calories someone needs to sustain their body mass can vary up to 30% by person. That's huge. I'm average size and my body runs on about 1600 kcal. Gotta go to around 1400 to start loosing weight. Meanwhile by every account I should be having a 400 calorie deficit at 1600 but nope. Just gotta work extra hard. And building muscle mass helps burn more at rest.
@@octagonocologist that's not how genetics work. Good for you on being fit with fat parents but take a look at epigenetics. Its a fascinating subject.

My doctor told me not to go low-carb and just count calories even though I was showing signs of insulin resistance. She also told me not to worry so much about building muscle or exercising because weight loss is 90% diet. I’m a 5’2 woman with PCOS and I was gaining weight eating 1200 calories a day, and going for a jog 3 times per week. I followed doctors orders despite this and ended up with nutrient deficiencies and ovarian cysts. My cortisol levels were also borderline too high. My doctor assumed I was lying about diet and exercise.
I’m so glad I actually learned about endocrinology and nutrition in college enough that I could read into the latest research and eventually understand that my doctor’s advice was ridiculous.
I needed to improve my sensitivity to insulin by taking inositols, building muscle, doing yoga, eating low carb, intermittent fasting, eating anti-inflammatory foods and managing stress. I can eat 1400-1600 calories per day and still be in a deficit now that my insulin resistance, vitamin deficiencies and inflammation are addressed.
Work smarter before you work harder! And don’t assume your doctor is up-to-date on the latest research!
You probably were not actually eating 1200 calories. If you stay on deficit long enough all those benefits will come without doing all that nonsense. All you’ve done is increased activity and indirectly gone into a higher deficit. Changing the other patterns that you mentioned literally do nothing, if anything it does the opposite of balancing anything.
@@williamdiazsantos7418 In most definitely know how to count calories, I’ve been doing it my whole life with registered dietitians teaching me. I gained weight at that time because I put on lots of inflammatory fluid from The over exercise and hormonal imbalances, and my metabolism slowed down so much I was actually referred by my endocrinologist to be studied in a university lab. My BMR was only 1090 at the time. No offense but I’m going to trust literal scientists on this over you internet stranger. I was not able to lose fat without eating so little I developed nutrient deficiency. My hair was out in chunks, I was fainting regularly, I was deeply depressed and unable to focus, my nails were brittle, I looked like I was going through chemo. It’s not super common for cases to be this extreme but it does happen and people need to understand how to lose the weight by working with their body rather than against it.
Why would I lose weight in a way that made me sicker and more miserable when I could just lose it in a way that made me healthier? My insulin and cortisol level are almost completely normal now and my BMR is closer to 1200, so as long as I’m active I can eat way more while still losing weight because of it. It’s a no-brainer.
You should have run for the hills when your Dr didn't say "lower your carb intake" How long is it going to take to get this in the zeitgeist Carbs are Sugar and you must lower your sugar intake to lose weight. This has been proven now for at least 20 years. Saturated fat is not the culprit! Sugar is!
@@williamdiazsantos7418it doesn't work since food and water are getting more and more modified with all sorts of chemicals causing our bodies to go crazy.
Also kortizol is one hell of a demon it can literally block your whole metabolic system and you will either keep on losing weight you will start losing your hair and teeth skin will get ichy and dry or you can gain fat fast unable to lose a single pound no matter what.
Keto done properly and lean into Carnivore. It’s a way to drop insulin resistance and diabetes. Eat fats. Use them. Sugar and carbs and low fat diets make everything worse. Bloodwork doesn’t lie. I’ve improved in every metric.
Lost 50 pounds in London once, still pissed about it to this day.
Lmao
Really? Smaller portions?
@@franceshankin2131 Pounds is the currency in the UK, he lost money, not weight.
I get it!
@Max Wentworth but he said he lost pounds not money? I wonder what kind of diet he was on the day? Fasting?
I am 300 pounds so I started fasting and every time I want something to eat I just ask myself do I love eating or do I want to see my 3 year old grandson grow up. One month down 22 pounds.
Brilliant. Fasting is the best thing I ever did to lose weight. Well done.
Congrats man
God be with you sir, an honorable goal
Michael Noland thanks . After smoking for over 20 years my stepdaughter was getting severe nosebleeds so the doctor told her it was because someone in the house smoked. Of Course I said bull to that so I made her a deal I would quit smoking until she got another nosebleed 25 years latter I still don’t smoke. Sometimes you just need the right motivation in life.
Congrats keep goin!
Im 6 months into my diet, definitely going to start tomorrow or start of the week, or start of the months, might wait till the start of the year.
The thing that broke me and made me want to change was at the age of 12 I said if I ever go over 200lbs I would not eat and starve myself to go back down. At 13 I hit 207. I was so close to losing it and just not eating anything for the rest of my life but I tried to give weightloss one last shot, its been 3 months since I turned 13 and I am now down to 189lbs by intermittent fasting and some exercise, I still have a long way till im down to my goal but im glad im here. Although sometimes it feels as if nothing changed, cause nobody except my family knows and kids at school still make fun of me and even outside of school ive been told to kill myself because of the way I look, so it almost doesnt feel real and it feels like im the same as i was before, anyway the reason im writing this post is to say that if anybody else is going through a similar situation of mine then please know that you can do it, no matter what others tell you.
Aye man keep up that hard work people around you are proud and inspired. Makes me want to get In the gym right now
proud of you! keep going! If you stay constistant, you will only improve EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Keep it up man. You’ll be a happier person on all levels. Trust me. I’m turning 40 this year and I’ve been plump/fat half of my life. I lost weight a couple of times but always striggled with yo-yo. The hardest thing is consistency and keeping the weight down. Do it while your young. The older you are, the harder it will be because of stress and other stuff.
Out of interest how tall are you? Well done though
It takes a true psychotic to tell another human to commit suicide. I’m glad you were strong. Keep it up, you are worth it!

Great job listening from joe, and asking a great question at the end which I was wondering too
I love this. I have been reading about all of this for over two years now, and this dude just broke it down in 7 minutes. This information is PURE GOLD!
I never know if Joe is genuinely surprised or just suuuper high
Yes
...Can't it be both?
I think it's a combination; he's so high that almost any information genuinely surprises him.
Yes
High
Being obese is like being depressed. You know what to do to beat it but it's incredibly hard to get the momentum going
But it's entirely on the person to need to do it, not want it like a cupcake - need it like water in a desert.
johnny j losing weigh is easy .... 1. Remove fast food. 2. Cut down sugar. 3. Add apple cider vinegar to water ( 15 ml ) daily .avoid if ulcer. Add lots of veggie and less white flour .

Stupidity at it's best. You can't change being depressed, dummy. Educate yourself on depression.
@@mirabella2154 sounds like you don't know how to get out of the rabbit hole. Depression like alcoholism is a disease that can be overcome, it doesn't happen overnight, but it's possible.
I have massive respect for joe rogan and enjoy his podcasts and joe is very knowledgeable but his facts on obesity could not be misguided. Really glad he had this very knowledgeable guest on .my brother in law was 388.00 pounds and lots of work redirecting his food intake and eating the right foods he is down to 237.00 lbs and no longer dealing with type 2 diabetes.
What they say in the first 2 minutes is SO TRUE! A guy I went to college with lost like 50 pounds because instead of consuming 2500 calories in one meal once a day, he started consuming those 2500 calories in smaller meals over the course of the day. Gave him more energy during the day so he started doing more physical things like going on walks more. It’s so true that sometimes, overweight people are not eating an insane amount compared to others. Just eating incorrectly.
For me and many many thousands of others, eating once a day or eating in a small window of time has had the same effect. It is not wrong, and I am not saying eating many times a day is wrong. Although eating many times a day spikes your insulin many times a day which makes it harder to lose weight for many many people. I broke my back and gained tons of weight because of the inactivity. Went to intermittent fasting and cut way back on carbs and lost over 40 pounds while recovering and with zero exercise. Lost even more now that I can move. So there are many ways to lose weight and the intermittent fasting is just one large very proven method that works. It is just as important what you eat as to when you eat. 2,000 calories of high carbs can slam the weight on you much faster than 2,000 calories of healthy fats and low carbs. Calories are not all alike.
Food addiction is also a real problem. Like, my friends dont understand that if I start eating potato chips or pizza, it's incredibly hard for me to stop. Thats why I'd rather just ignore what people are eating and try to eat my own healthier foods.
Yup, there are tons of meals that I can eat at a very specific portion, weighed out, and be very satisfied. But if a pizza is in my house, I basically can't stop eating it until it's gone. It's better to not have it around.
thats because of the shit they put in chips and food. They put additives that make you want more and crave more. Thats why its best to eat fresh, non processed foods
@@LoGiCcLaN2 I knew there had to be something in those foods other than they just taste better because some really don't, but I still find myself not being able to stop eating them. Thank you so much for sharing this!! Knowing this will change my life for sure. That is very empowering to know!!
Carbs make you want more carbs.
@@NJLev refined carbs* eating your junk carbs like chips and bread will definitely make you want more but if you get your carbs from, lets say rice, youll be fine and should be full
I am 5' 11" tall I was 320 lbs for many years. I went from 320 lbs to 185 lbs in less than a year (no carbs, not sugar no snacking after diner). Then I went to the gym and built 25 lbs of muscle. I am so happy for the huge prize I won. The prize of health, fitness and good looks. I feel amazing and can run, climb, go on roller-coasters, ride bikes, hike, buy nice clothes. I won a major prize by loosing weight and I owe it all to myself which feels amazing. I never looked back. That was in 2013 and I am still in shape today.
So u did a keto diet. Im obese and want to lose weight and im planning on doing keto and working out.
I eat all the carbs i want..ur brain needs it so does ur muscles...i get it when ur obese..but dont start with the carb thing when ur a bodybuilder etc
No way you built 25 pounds of muscle. 25 pounds of muscle you would look like Arnold schwarzenegger
@@bradleyzum Umm the average person....(beginner) can build 25 lbs of muscle in around a year...beginners do it all the time....It plateues after that.....Schwarzenegger had quite a bit more than 25 lbs of muscle mass than he would have as a beginner....I dont know why you think this is unattainable..It is quite common in a bodybuilders early lifting advancement.....
@@bradleyzum Yes you can. Also Arnold did steroids
If you’re watching this video and believe you can’t lose weight, I promise you, it is possible. I was 240 lbs back in April/May 2023, and in November 2023 I’m about 205. I started walking 3 miles per day before work, and started doing a small exercise while making dinner, whether it’s 100 push ups, 100 body weight squats, something like that. Find small gaps throughout your day that give you an opportunity to do something active, it’ll do wonders.
100 push-ups 😂😂😂😂😂 okay buddy
@@Nachoprobl3m2he didn’t say in a row
Stress effects so much. I didn’t change my diet just my job and lost 40 pounds in a month over covid. I had a high stress job where I was in constant fear mode. I didn’t change my eating and dropped weight so fast it was crazy.
I was 330 at my highest, and all I can say to people who are overweight and who want to be a normal weight, it will likely be the toughest AND most rewarding thing you've ever done.
Just dont eat at night and stop eating rice spaghetti and bread... this is what works for me, when i want to cut i just dont have dinner, not easy but possible... harder if you dont have a job or something to do trough the day
I was 6"3 and 320. In January stopped eating shit, not eating after super, no carbs, limited sugars, and moderate to heavy weights 3-4 times a week, light cardio. Im down 70 pounds.

I like how joe just sits there and listens and doesn’t not interrupt him at any moment. He always gives his guests the opportunity to express their opinion no matter if he agrees with them or not.
You've not been watching this show very often have you?
its not always the case, but hes a good interviewer no doubt of that
He talked over a lot of guest, usually he gets distracted by others in the studio. Notice when he shuts up it’s because Bravonand others aren’t there. Get the wrong person in the room interviews like this never go well.
Wait that’s an opinion? Sounds like he is stating facts.
Yeah, i am no big fan of Joe Rogan as a person, but he is the best interviewer I have ever seen.
Great video, really helpful…fasting works somewhat for me, but never understood why
Some of us aren’t eating like crazy. After my hysterectomy, my thyroid stopped working correctly. There wasn’t a diagnostic test until I developed a goiter. During that time I gained 65 pounds. I have never had energy again like I used to. I gain weight every time my THC test is out of normal limits. It is awful to be a normal healthy weight to being fat. It is terrible on my self-esteem. There is no help if you don’t have diabetes or high blood pressure.
Joe Rogan is such a great listener! I like how he let's his guest speak without interrupting them. Great video!
There are a few videos where he does interrupt them but his more recent ones have been about just listening and I admire the growth.
He is just picturing the guests naked..
Not when a guest is trash talking the weed
Just dont bring up something he is dead set on. Like weed and testosterone.
@Joshua Sipple You should watch his video where he talks about the art of conversations. And how we lost it. Even guys like Neil deGrasse Tyson suck at it.
This guy explained complicated science in an understandable way for dummies like me.
Tbh I was still lost😂
He also talked a lot of bollocks
If he explained it so everyone would understand he wouldn’t have a business lol. All he said is people who are losing weight need to cut down on anything that makes them produce large quantities of insulin which promotes fat storage
Brotha if you are here, you are smarter than you think.
@@stevestelly1086 HAAHAHA, you think listening to Joe Rogan makes you smarter? Bro you are insane.
I set a goal of losing ideally 40 lbs but realistically 20 lbs at the beginning of summer and now at the end I'm down 36, from 364 to 328. I'm hoping for 315 by the end of the year. Most people lose weight easier in warmer weather but I'm the opposite as I struggle with sweet drinks to help with the heat, and replace it with unsweetened tea in cold weather. So I'm hopeful! My end goal is to be 220 in 4-5 years. I have a broad frame and I am some what taller so a somewhat muscular 220 would be a good weight for me, not looking to be in model shape, I'm in my mid thirties and have been hit by to many injuries and illnesses to delude myself with that being realistic for me. A stocky build is doable and vastly better than I am now. Replacing pasta with unprocessed grains and potatoes, way upping my fat intake, focusing on protein and reducing carbs to a realistic degree.
Stay consistent and the results will show

2) Lower Cortisol (less stress, more sleep, better relationships)
3) Higher Testosterone (high intensity interval training, lift weights, play sports, or supplement)
4) Lower Estrogen (eat leafy greens and lose weight)
5) Hormone Sensitive Lipase & Growth Hormone (stand & walk more)

Andrew Derry Dr.Berg👁
Nicely done good sir
6 months ago I decided to change my lifestyle.
I started monitoring what I was eating. Using the Lose It App to set Calorie Limits for myself. I drink much less Soda than I used to. Overall I eat much less than I used to. I don’t eat snack food between meals anymore.
That, along with working out more often and longer. Made a big difference. I’ve lost over 30 pounds.
My T-Shirts weren’t fitting me and were too small, and now they all fit again.
Simply being self aware, and having portion control, I think can make the biggest difference.
I used to be 250lbs it took me a year but i managed to bring it down to 145lbs. Ive kept it off for about 10 years.
How long was the process over time for you? I'm working on getting rid of all processed foods and sugar in general. Water tastes so much better after 3 weeks of no sugar.
I hope anyone trying to lose weight has good luck with it.
Well...its going but every year is a cycle, winter almost 90kg and by august im 80kg...3 years in a row now :D (Im 18 yo, 185cm - not really trying to loose weight but gain muscle, doing something wrong obviously)

The main takeaway; High Stress = Fat.
This is incredibly accurate. I’ve been exercising properly and intensely for many years, eat very clean, all my vitals are ideal for my age and my doctor even said I have “above average cardio levels for my age” (24y/o man).
However, I have severe stress which makes me looks chubby, especially around my midsection and face. But I’ll notice when my stress levels go down, I lean up quite significantly. When they go up, I puff back up.

You fat eshit go 😂😂😂😂 uoi know what weight loss is ?
A great thing about creating a diet for a certain length of time is how it translates your mood into creating more disclipline for yourself in other fields. Organising and rearranging that one aspect of your life will spill into other areas of your life and improve them. For example, you get up earlier, or start becoming more productive with your time. Take up a new hobbies, begin new projects - because food becomes a substinence and no longer an indulgence to you. This will have a positive impact on your hormone levels. So for many, including me, our diet is our discipline.
Which diet did I take? "Zero" carb, for a month. Eating was hella boring, but taking up excercise felt like the best compliment for it. I lost practically a stone in 2 weeks.

How long did this take? I’m very proud of you! I’m trying to figure out how long or how far I should walk to get into shape myself.
Found this out about 10 yrs ago. Cortisol primarily has quite a bit of a dominant role as we age, coupled with eating foods with past 2-3 day shelf life even tefrigerated.
I looked back at photos of my grandparents.
They ate at home. A protein, veggies, and a starch with a full glass of water AND a cup of wine every night. Took walks after dinner. Dressed well. Hair neat. Always in shape. Not all habits were “good” but the majority were….
No it's what you eat vs what you burn that's how the laws of thermodynamics works
I have a dear childhood friend who's always been big. Ever since we were little tots, he's always been bigger than everybody else. His parents fostered him to eat more than he should, so for him, eating too much is simply in his nature. He doesn't know any other way. Because of this, losing weight is incredibly, incredibly difficult. I really hope things change for him, but I'm not optimistic.
I remember working security with this guy who was about 430. He was dispatch and would drink a 2liter coke, eat lunch and snacks throughout the shift. He got a crush on a co-worker and she worked out with and coached him through it. Dude is now 180 and stuck in the friend zone but damn what a journey. He said for lunch he would go to White Castle and get a 10pc Moz sticks. 4 burgers,fries and drink. When he started counting calories he had no idea that one meal was almost his daily intake. The 10pc alone was over 1000 calories. I need to step up myself I'm close to 300 now. I should probably give him a call.
@Rhaegar Nope, she became a police officer so she's getting banged out by other officers and he is still her best friend. He's most likely going to sit idly by until she is ready to settle down.
Sounds more like you should give _her_ a call
That’s another thing people don’t understand. The amount of food that people actually consume in a caloric sense is so much higher than they think. When you go to McDonalds one burger is or above 1000 calories. Then you eat a second and fries and a coke. That shit adds up. Lastly when you eat healthier you feel better. I used to feel sluggish after I ate. I was constantly napping after meals. Not anymore. Also don’t eat past like 7:30 - 8 if you can.

Intermittent fasting, eating mainly protein and vegetables, and working out 2-4 times a week will get you in good shape. Also avoid sugar, fast food and processed foods.
I've been looking into intermittent fasting... wouldn't the healthy diet of protein/veg, no processed food work on its own? I don't understand the reasoning for doing it although I'm very interested.
When u fast your insulin level goes down and yur body uses the stored fat.
@@caliv0608 It could work, but way faster with the hormonal effects of intermittent fasting. HGH and insulin sensitivity especially. I do wonder if eating frequently is fine as long as your lover never really fills up, which if I'm right means not much insulin would be needed.
Basically don't eat a big handful of nuts late at night (healthy, but calories so your liver will never empty) and skip breakfast or have it late/early lunch, and you'll be rocking.
Never was a fan of intermittent fasting unless it fits your lifestyle and you like to do that. I could be wrong though.
I think calorie deficit with 4-6 small meals a day could be more beneficial, and you'll probably feel better throughout the day.
But if 1 big meal a day fits your life, then fasting is probably the best thing to do.
@@LucianoOGgt I just don't think it's natural to eat so many times every day. Do hunters/ people long ago eat 6 small meals? 2 or 3, and once a week 0 might be ideal.
I think our bodies aren't set up for food so frequently and never go into autophagy without breaks. The benefits of autophagy are undeniable imo.
I just got into middle age, I'm 38 going on 39, and I am just realizing how hard it is to control weight gain and losing weight is a massively hard thing to do now.
calories in/calories out. Calculate what you are eating a day and eat less, it doesnt get harder with age

Very educated man. This is more of what we need in fitness and health
He is actually a doctor named Peter Attia...he gave a TED talk once about the way diabetes is being wrongly classified based on a life experience. czcams.com/video/UMhLBPPtlrY/video.html
I'm a medical student who recently learned about everything he just talked about. The thing I've realized as a medical student is you don't need to be a medical student to understand this stuff (at least with wikipedia on hand). Just need to sit down (with some good learning material...like my favorite go to source, wikipedia) and work it out. I used to be critical of morbidly obese people, but now I am starting to realize staying a healthy weight and body composition is much more difficult for some people
They didn't go into how our brains are wired. In our hypothalamus we have what is called the lateral nucleus that makes us hungry and the ventromedial nucleus which makes us not hungry. If either one of those is destroyed (as happens sometimes in a stroke) the affected individual will feel either extreme hunger or no hunger at all. These nuclei are in turn stimulated or inhibited by ghrelin (makes you hungry) and leptin (makes you full). No person's brain is the same, so it's a given people will differ in how much hunger they feel. I for example AM ALWAYS HUNGRY. Two of my uncles were morbidly obese and died from that (one at 48 yrs and the other at 55 yrs). Most of my family members are obese. I used to be obese. I had grown up with all this bullshit advice that "you need to eat breakfast to be healthy" and eat well so your brain can function. Bullshit. Out brains do just fine using ketone bodies (from fat) instead of glucose (sugar) for energy (unless we are diabetic (don't produce enough/any insulin) as explained in the youtube clip).
Anyways, I lost 40 pounds in a year and now my BMI is 24 (down from 30) and am very healthy. However I am ALWAYS HUNGRY. I can eat two gallons of ice cream in a day and still be hungry. How did I bring my weight to a healthy weight? =>By restricting my calorie intake through intermittent fasting (I eat 1-2 times a day and sometimes don't eat at all some days). Does that mean I am not hungry? No, far from it. So please, if its not hard for you to keep off weight don't judge those who do struggle. It may be a 100x harder for them to not eat. That said, if you are like me (always hungry) accept that you have to have some mild hunger most of the time in order to not become obese. Nothing is wrong with you, it's just that your ancestors must have evolved an overactive lateral nucleus in your hypothalamus in order to not have starved to death (hunger can be a powerful motivator in pushing a person or animal to get food). That's my theory anyway.
@@shawnreed7876 Hunger signals or not, it's all about eating healthy. You know what I do when I'm hungry? I eat meat or nuts or ANYTHING without sugar. You said yourself at one point you could have eaten 2 gallons of ice cream and still be hungry... Why would you choose to eat ice cream when you're hungry and expect not to be fat? Morbidly obese people eat like shit. It IS their fault that they're in the state they're in.
@@ohlord3650 Exactly. Ice cream has too many calories. By consuming too many calories one becomes fat. In my case if I am to remain "unhungry" I become fat. Once I embraced hunger I came down to a healthy weight.
id love to have a trainer like him
I knew one personal trainer who had one non-negotiable rule. He was asking his clients if they were willing to change their eating habits by eating cleaner and healthier and in the beginning, even go with stricter diet. If they weren’t willing to change their diet, he wasn’t accepting those customers, even if they wanted to pay a lot of money. He knew how important of a role the food played in achieving results.
That's actually a good business move on his part as well. Those clients that were willing to change their diet on average lost so much more weight compared to their counter parts that weren't willing.
That made him look like a more competent trainer & made him more attractive to new clients. The long game at it's finest.
I mean,I understand.
Yeah cool, but how can he know what they're eating everyday ?
@@cmmats624 They tell him? How else would he know?
Thank you. This clown Rogan interviewed is a moron. Anything short of a complete lifestyle overhaul will fail.
Super interesting this pod cast !!
I think there is a lot of underdianosed endocrinology issues as well. Pituitary adenoma's or cysts - Low T for men, moderate cushings syndrome or hypercortisolism, thyroid. These things can be borderline for a long time until a major issue is found, and the issues can be chalked up to "getting older", "havent been eating quite as well.."
The obesity rate in 1980 was ~ 7%. Now it’s 25%.
And we’re supposed to believe the problem lies with physiology?
Yeah, this episode just said being obese is something u can't control, they didn't tell the bitter raw hard truth
Yeah, all this guy said was complete BS😂
In 1980, people probably didn’t sit around and watch CZcams. This is especially true for children, who make up a large portion of that increased percentage. Kids played outside and learned to be active. They didn’t have to have their parents helicopter over them the whole time either. It was normal to see groups of kids riding bikes together or playing games. Now with the 24-hour new cycle, everyone is paranoid that the streets are infested with perverts and child predators. These days, if you let your kids walk to the park by themselves, you are a bad parent. Better to let them play video games inside where it’s “safe”.
in 2022, if you want start a real fight, just say people are fat because they eat too much calories…it way much more dangerous than politics or religion…lost some friends ( the worst are the mother of fat kid, they cannot accept that fact without going bananas, like you judge theirs kids) The business succedd to paint who say that physics thruths as judmental
I’m 6’7” - 260lbs (200cm - 18.5 stone) and considered obese by the BMI while everyone in my life says I’m too skinny. 🤷♂️ Maybe the definition is skewed ignoring the increasing height of people?
I was obese at 270 pounds at my peak with sleep apnea, fatigued, tired, asthmatic, and borderline diabetic. In 2½ years I managed to lose over 100lbs. I'm now 46 years of age 5'11" at 164lbs size 32 waist and building ab muscles. I'm more active than ever. Did two triathlons last year, do a lot of hiking, kayaking, running, bicycling, weights. I don't get fatigued anymore. I'm sleeping better than ever; breathing better than ever, eating better than ever; feel better than ever. It's amazing.
Good shit
How?
how did you do it? im basically in the same boat now
@@jasmines.6325 The first year of weight loss the only thing I did was cutting thr pasta, the bread and the rice completely out of my diet. I never liked sodas so that wasn't a problem. But I did occasionally ate sweets. I changed nothing else in that first year. I drop only 20 lbs. So that wasn't enough. So I completely changed my diet to more veggies and less meats. A LOT of veggies. That's when the change really kicked in. Then after I lost about 50 or 60 lbs then I started incorporating exercises. Now I have been at 162lbs and keeping it there.
@@tomasdiaz1974 I’m tryna lose body fat will running everyday help?
I was 67kgs before pregnancy, then I reached maybe 100kgs during pregnancy. Apart from the fact that I had fluid retention, I ate so much junk food (gained fat) to the point I couldn't breath. After I gave birth, I started counting kcals, and I losed 35kgs. Now I am in my second pregnancy, have cravings, but I don't do the same mistake.
It depends on the body type I guess. I am mesomorph, have thick bones and I can easy make body muscles, but generally, when I eat more then usual (not without control) I can bulk very easy without even trying which as a woman I hate it because I don't like to get broader arms or calves.
Also has to do with climate. I think people whose genetics come from more northernly latitudes who live closer to the equator will find it more difficult to lose weight. If they moved to places like Canada, or Alaska, they might find maintaining their weight much easier. Activity plays the biggest role, however.
May 2nd I was 327 pounds. A little over 4 months later I am 256 and plan on being able to join the army in another 3 months
You go glen coco!!!
Whatre doing for workouts/eating, bro?
I’m 6’4 and at 305 right now and trying to accomplish the same goal
Just started my first week of hard intermittent fasting and keto diet with 8 hour food window , and doing a lot of H I I T workout 3 days weekly and lots of yoga and calisthenics and so far I haven’t felt more sore or more better in a long time
Sedimentary lifestyle, inconsistent diet and exercise schedule, letting stress control job
All caused me to balloon
Fasting and exercise immediately can re train your mind and rekindle your spirit quickly if you can get over that first 20 to 24 hour hump of the first fast
Great job!
Been 3 months. Make it?
I started at 314 lbs and I didn't really feel that bad, I had my friends and family who loved me and I was known as funny big brother. and then one day my younger brother wanted my help on a math problem. he's on the second floor of my house. by the time I got up the stairs I had a tight shortness of breath. I started seeing spots and I had to take a breather. I am supposed to be the example and I was being weak. so I finally bought a scale and every day I jogged as far as I could and walk back. I only drank water and only ate once my stomach really growled. it's been about 5 months and I'm down to 246 lbs. it was hard and my shins hurt and my stomach never growled much but It's been progress. I do feel better and stairs don't scare me as they used to but the reason I did it was so I could keep being the funny big brother and not the dead big brother in 15,10 or 5 years. I know it's gonna be a life struggle but you gotta do it for yourself and the people that love you. do it for them man.
Right on man!
Might I suggest cycling instead of jogging half the time to help prevent the shin pains.
All the best!
Very inspirational! have you ever heard of hiit training? it worked wonders for me. Andd a faster way to lose weight in a shorter amount of time. All it took was 20 mins a day. I reccomend it for anyone trying to lose weight.
You're awesome.
Read Dr.Atkins book titled Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. He explains ketosis and low carb dieting very thoroughly in this book, it's so easy to understand. Its the book my dad followed to loose 275 lb in a year and 2 months. He kept with low carb eating, he ate all the meat and fat he wanted and got healthy. He started with zero carbs and no caffeine for a week to get the body into the state of ketosis. He used Keto Sticks they are urine test strips. After the first week he gradually added more carbs but not exceeding 40 grams of carbs per day through out his weight loss journey. If the body is in the state of ketosis it can not store fat it can only shed fat and other toxic weight so he ate all the fat and calories he wanted to keep himself satisfied while ketosing. There is no need to count calories as long as you are keeping your carb intake low enough to keep you ketosing. Forty grams of carbs per day is a recommended limit to keep the body in the state of ketosis. If you have a cheat day or cheat meal your body may stop ketosing because of overconsumption of carbs so all you have to do after a cheat day is start over by eating zero carbs and no caffeine for a week to get yourself back into a nice deep ketosis. Caffeine spikes insulin thus slowing weighloss so some people restrict it completely even after the first week to avoid slowed weightloss. Eating fat , especially rich animal fats , while ketosing causes the body to ketose more heavily, provides energy, satisfies appetite healthily, lubricates intestines , eyes and skin and is crucial for organ function including the brain. Animal meats should not be restricted either they are too important for replenishing the muscles and organs. Also, no colon cleansers are needed on a diet that causes the body to ketose, in fact it can be detrimental. I made that mistake and almost killed my kidneys it hurt so bad so I quit colon cleansers while keto dieting and I felt so much better. Ketosis causes the body to naturally cleanse itself including the colon. The body works hard enough while ketosing to shed weight on its own. There are veggies allowed in the first week about 1 cup per day they are practically zero carb. They are listed in Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution book. He also wrote a book giving carb count content of many foods to help you stay on track. I've read both of these books. Keto Sticks are urine test strips. Test every day. If your test shows pink/purple color it means you're ketosing. The darker the pink/purple color means the heavier you're ketosing meaning the faster you are loosing weight. If your test shows no pink/purple color it means you are not ketosing not loosing weight but gaining weight so you have to keep eating zero carbs and no caffeine until pink/purple color shows on your test. Eating practically zero carbs for a week should get your body into deep ketosis. Sorry to repeat myself but I hope this info helps people loose weight fast like my dad did. I don't rely on the Atkins foods for weightloss though because I don't like the sweeteners and other ingredients in alot of them. I mostly eat meat, fat, low carb veggies and low carb fruit ,nuts not so many cashews, unlimited butter, full fat sour cream and mayo. I pray you understand it completely in Jesus' name. God's blessings to ya! 😉
Hi Theresa, your story is amazing, are you still on your journey? if I may ask, best regards from Denmark
I'm glad someone said it. I'm the most health conscious and healthy person I know. I fast regularly, juice and stay active by either running or walking almost daily, yet I'm also one of the biggest people I know. It's frustrating but at least I'm not gaining weight.
I've started fasting for 20 hours and stopped consuming foods with excess sugar. I'm nearly 20 pounds down since Jan. Drink lots of water.
It's easy sticking to my fast because it's something I developed throughout my life from skipping breakfast and lunch in school.
I've never seen Joe Rogan as concentrated, he barely spoke in the video.
Very interesting podcast
@@_itzriazpvp9869 yo felt the same way, espcially since english isn t my first language but I bet Rogan was quiet cuz of the same thing lmao
@Random X that's true xD he's got a lot of 'em
@Random X will do when I go back to the gym. Thanks for the recommendation. I got a headstart with Neil Degrasse podcasts xD
@Random X৷ You missed out Edward snowden's podcast
Wow, Joe Rogan barely talked.
he was too high
Right?! He was truly learning, listening in deep and I feel he's still hurt about his friend's passing away. You can tell he was concerned tho. 💚 Love Joe. RIP to his dear friend 💙.
That's a good thing.
Really good show. Truly
i was 90kg in 2022 but now after ditching fast food and chicken and daily workout..im back to 62kg as today,feel like im on my teenage age..video like this encourage my to lose my weight❤❤❤
I eat when I’m sad, I’m sad when I eat
kev lee it’s ok bro keep your head up and don’t let life get you down
Is this an Austin Powers Fat Bastard reference, or just a coincidence?
Don’t eat when you’re sad
It's a vicous cycle
I eat because I’m unhappy, and I’m unhappy because I eat.
*I notice Americans love calling it “weight” like in “lose weight” but the guy is right, ITS BOUT FAT not weight.*
Nah, I like to call it weight cause every time I take a shit I make progress
I’ve heard other nationality’s call it weight aswell, why do you people have to make these things an exclusively American thing?
People in the UK call it weight too you mong
DIVINES LEGACY many copy Americans
@@WelfareDude innovations come from foreign scientists who happen to migrate to the USA. Meaning that Americans dont do much
All I can say. Is martial arts has changed my life for the better. I love jiu jitsu and I love boxing
Great explanation. I have spent long periods of time overseas and every time I leave the United States I seem to lose weight and every time I return to the United States I gain weight. I have identified several factors that have affected me personally. First, is the large amounts and low quality of foods that we consume here. We have to stop eating fast food and junk food or we are never going to get a hold of the obesity problem. Second is the sedentary lifestyles we have. Without a question we need to move our bodies more. Third is the relatively poor healthcare system we have. We have good facilities, good doctors, hospitals, medications, etc., but it is expensive and inaccessible to many, and fourth, the stress. We live in a very stressful country where they have sold us the idea that we should be working, working, working all the time and we get excited when we get two weeks vacation per year. We are stressed out, fatigued, and addicted to junk food.
American food is terrible. Americans visiting Europe end up losing weight because they walk more over there and the food is healthier
Lets not forget that it is difficult to find a prepared food in the US that does not contain some form of added sugar.
Then prepare it yourself. It allows you to make your own serving size and gets you to do other things then sitting on the couch.
Just make your own food tho lol
sean the problem comes with cost. It’s less expensive to buy junk than to buy shit from the store. That’s just a fact
@@SAMSARALIVEEEEEE not really, you just have to buy nutritious 1 ingredient foods. Even if it still cost more then junk it cost less in terms of medical surgeries.
cartesian plane Well most people don’t see it in that way. They just think “cheaper food? i’ll buy it either way since i’m already poor as shit”.
