The man who fasted for a year was Angus Barbieri of Tayport Scotland. He was 27 years old and weighed 456 lbs when he began the fast in July 1966 and 180 lbs when he ended the fast 382 days later. The whole time his fast was supervised by doctors at Maryfield Hospital who monitored his condition and recommended vitamin and electrolyte supplements as necessary along with coffee, tea and water. I don't know how he came to get so heavy but his family kept a fish and chip shop which may have had something to do with it.

"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." - Mike Tyson. Many people see these videos and when it comes to work they get a taste and quit. They want instant results. These stories are extreme and have a person motivating. The accountability is how you get through it. At the end, you have to look at yourself. The guy that lost all that weight and gained 100 back will most likely gain even more weight than he had previously. Its easy when someone is telling you to do something. When you have to motivate yourself, many people quit. I wish this wasn't true but most people will quit.
Yes, and no. Your joints kill but tired is tired. As long as you stayed hydrated it's just dealing with the pain. The mornings suck. So much stiffness and pain. 1h plus of stretching just to get moving. If you can deal with that it's doable.

The most weight that I gained after a bodybuilding show is 20 lbs in a week. It totally shocked my system. The reason that guy gained so much weight afterwards is that he was on a very unrealistic diet. I’ve found that best way to loose weight is to put or go on a realistic diet. Eating fruits and vegetables at all times isn’t realistic. Been there done that, the moment you eat normal you will start to put on weigh.
1. No soda, or any other drink with chemicals. Just water, natural tea or homemade lemonade. Everything else is a no no. If ppl did that they'd lose weight without even doing anything else. 2. Find out what type of eat schedule works for you. Some ppl need a little often, some do better with more food, but in longer intervals. 3. Chew and eat slower than what we're normally accoustum to. 4. Mild portion control, it doesn't need to be some Nazi rations either, just not a be Asshole. 5. Obviously move around pshyically, but if you do the first 4 things than you don't even need to kill yourself to maintain a average body.
Nathan Henson Good advice. My advice based on the current scientific literature: eat plenty of fruits and vegetables with fiber, good fibrous grains, dairy, seafood, legumes, nuts & seeds, lean meats. Avoid excessive intakes of saturated fats, added sugars, refined starches processed meats. That doesn’t mean you can’t have some. But the totality of the literature indicates we should keep these items on a low to moderate limit. Avoid extended periods of overeating.
I stopped working out after I met my goal of losing 41 lbs after having 13 pulmonary embolisms. Went from 216 to 175lbs. I have an at home gym I've built up over the years, I just lost motivation. I needed to hear this Joe, thank you. Hopefully in the future I can link up with some people that'll keep me straight. I dropped 41lbs in 2.5 months with intermittent fasting, clean eating, & macro counting. I wouldn't workout more than 2 hours a day(typically a strenuous 45min-1hour), dropping my caloric intake based on what my weight was for that week. I even had the calories I burned in my sleep accounted for. Side note: I had the embolisms because I sat too long in the car on a 1300 mile road trip. No previous issues, nothing. Healthy heart, liver, all was good. Just sat too long. Thankfully I was always extremely active when I was younger, otherwise I'm not sure if I would've made it.

What Joe describes at the end (100 pushups/ChinUps/situps) is actually how I started to lose 120lbs. Eventually doubled it to 200 and then into more full body cardio/plyo excercise, but starting with cumulative goals like Joe suggests is actually a great way to begin.

Joe talking about making a schedule as a motivating tool. Definitely what's helped me the most these past couple of years! Though with me it's more about making up a 'streak' and keeping it going. Learned French every day for two years straight! Went through a bunch of books, online courses, youtube series, apps,... just to keep that streak going and keep pushing forward. Took cold showers straight through winter for like 5 months, every day. Worked out for a couple of years there, for nine months I worked out every day. Read classic literature every night because it was just something I always wanted to do. Right now I'm 27 days into teaching myself how to play the piano. Was always something I wanted to do, learn an instrument, could never get it together, seems to be going fine now, finally. Also wrapping up a 4-month diet. Been writing down everything I ate, really paid attention to it, skipped some meals, had a bunch of smaller-than-usual-for-me meals, nothing too complicated. Went from 210 down to 177. With the ultimate goal being 'under 176 lbs, or under 80 kg.' I'm 6'4'' so I'm kinda skinny, but that's what I wanted.:D Hey, I'm not perfect, a lot of the stuff I've started through this time, I've also quit, like working out!

I lost 100lbs in 6 months while eating tacobell and bologna sandwiches. I worked out for one hour every morning just doing mild weights and a treadmill. It's not about what you eat it's about how much.
fasting helped me lose about 30 lbs. I felt amazing. I had so much energy, felt light as a feather, but the only downside is how boring it gets. You don't realize how much of your day is occupied by eating until you don't. The longest I ever went was a week and I probably could have gone longer but not eating is boring and "weird" to others. Which, if our ancestors had to follow herds of mammoth across miles and miles of field, they probably _did_ eat only once or twice a week.
Been weight lifting since may 13 2020. 5'2 23 y/o female 170lbs start weight . I am 2 months In I'm 160lbs. Its slow and steady, no cardio. It's slowly but this feels more of a lifestyle change and I have been a part of these diets before where you limit yourself to only lose muscle, water and dignity. I eat what is normal meats veggies. I do indulge in fast foods here and there. Nothing is planned, Just making better choices and like Greg Doucette says, TRAIN HARDER THAN LAST TIME...♥️♥️
Being obese is NOT acceptable. Some people don't get a chance at life, children born prematurely or not at all, people are taken before their time in freak accidents or disease and then there's some people who decide to use their chance by abusing their body and taking it for granted. Honestly its disgusting and they're no better than drug addicts, this is coming from someone who used to be 120kg (264lbs) now i weigh 79kg (174lbs) work out 5-6 times a week, go boxing, hike up mountains, rarely drink or eat junk food, dont do social media and just generally live a more fulfilling life. If you're overweight and are wanting to make this journey i wish you all the best and if you start you're already better than most, take control of your body and mind, be disciplined and formidable.
i listened to some of the "vegan propaganda" and there is so many stories similar to this. its genuinely mind boggling how a raw plant based diet can flip your life around! Same thing happened to me; i went fully plant based and virtually every single health problem/struggle i had magically vanished within 3 months. Got my life back when i was so certain it wouldn't even be healthy...
@@aritenenbaum391 I haven't noticed any physically visible aspects as I'm still young but I've had rheumatoid arthritis since birth and the pain from that prevented me from working out and getting fit overall, and now on a plant based diet I'm pain free for around 7 months now 🥰. Kudos to you for doing that for so long now! At first I had severe doubts about the whole thing but with the insane changes I've noticed there is no way I'm not sticking to it! Xoxo friend!
Especially for 20 miles everyday, going on rough terrains! His knees must have been begging for help. But if he was indeed not bullshitting then shoutout to that dude, must’ve felt like hell for him yet he kept going everyday.
@@AJAMbaybay I think Cena is exaggerating. You shouldn't push somebody to the extreme on day one, anyway. That shit can cause suicide. Always best to 'taper' off a dangerously bad habit.
I’ve never been obese (I’m almost 6’6”), but I’ve lost 100lbs in a month...TWICE. 300-200. It was just constant exercise and clean eating. I never felt better.
nat banz I cut my caloric intake in half, cut out simple carbs, and ate 1g of protein for every pound I wanted to weigh, a day. Only ate poultry, raw veggies, and low-glycemic carbs. Supplemented with Nordic Naturals fish oil, creatine, milk thistle (liquid), whey isolate, 200mgs of caffeine 2x a day, tribulus, 4000iu of vitamin D, and BCAA aminos. I was at the gym every day. I’d train weights every other day, with a 30min cardio session to warm up, and worked my way up to 90 mins on the elliptical on the days I wasn’t lifting. Sometimes I’d cardio 2x a day. Trick is, to get your heart rate between 130-150 during cardio, and keep it there as long as possible. Nothing else matters-ignore distance. Ignore resistance and interval training, until you’re able to do those 90 minutes easily. A great weight-training program to start? www.mensjournal.com/health-fitness/eternal-beach-body-workout-plan/ Here’s a source to determine your daily caloric intake. Cut your daily need by 50%, and don’t increase until your fat stores are depleted: www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html Don’t even weigh yourself, because you’re going to be building muscle, and the number will discourage you. Just look in the mirror, and notice how your clothes fit. Good luck!!!
Yea writing it down works, my rules is I write my workout for the day on the board and underneath it I write “once it’s on the board, it gets done” so I don’t cut it short
What's the point of making someone walk 20 miles a day and putting them on an unsustainable diet? It sounds like they just used this guy to get his extreme makeover to promote whatever they're doing. For a diet to work longterm, they have to be able to sustain it. It's the biggest reason people gain back weight after dieting. Keto is a great example of that. Why wouldn't you give the guy protein? Eating high protein gives you satiety. I'm a complete junk food junkie, but eating high protein got me over it.
Exactly. It has to be about sustainable lifestyle adjustments. He could have spent the time after he got the guy down to a functional human weight, to reprogram his mind to a way of eating and exercising that will last forever. The results wouldn’t have been so dramatic, but there is more chance that the guy would have continued to lose weight and gain strength, instead of immediately blowing out.
Absolutely This guy lost ALL credibility. I get you aren’t into the psychological aspects of dieting, but give these ppl a fighting chance by offering a reasonable diet while exercising. You’re no better then The Biggest Loser. There’s a reason why TBL doesn’t have reunion shows
Yup. I found the whole interview annoying. Spartan Races have changed the lives of so many people but never by promoting hard work---not fad diets. Why spend so much time trying to prove to Joe and his listeners that you are a moron with these stories? A highly motivated and motivating moron but a moron nonetheless.
The people that believe this guy are low IQ types who believe in fad diets to begin with. Blown away this video has more likes than disliked when he's clearly lying.
I have done this. Ate only fruit and vegetables and salad. Lost 1 pound a day. Could only stand it for a week or 2, when I added small amounts of protein lost 1/2 pound a day. If I added 2 slices of bread I lost NO weight. If I wanted to lose weight fast I would go on the fruit and veg diet. But it gets boring before long.
When I was in my late teens, if I went to McD's for breakfast, I would order a large coffee and 5 McMuffins. I was 6'3 and about 175lbs at the time. I think metabolism plays a big part in becoming obese vs not becoming obese. Now that I'm 51, I don't go to McD's anymore, I eat (mostly) healthy, but I'm up to about 210 lbs. Obviously my metabolism has slowed down. I'm also nowhere near as active. So I guess that doesn't help.
You’re brave and Plz keep going! I’m 18 and my mom tells me to enjoy the crazy energy of me eating a lot on not being heavy. As you get older your, body slows down. I’m losing belly fat as smart as I can.
As you get older, you lose muscle. Something like 1% per year. But muscle is closely linked to your resting metabolic rate. When you control for muscle mass, ageing doesn't cause weight gain. Different for women, who have hormonal chsnges going on. But anyway, you're doing well for your age, but I'd say if you lifted, some of that fat would fall off!
I did a juicing fast for 90 days an lost 150 lbs. i was at 430lbs at my heaviest currently im at 225 its been 5 years since i started my weightloss journey it definitely worked for me
Andrew Gundy day 1-3 were easy day 4-6 started getting hunger pains an cramping a little bit but after that my body adjusted to it an it became very easy
Nah what it means is this guys methods are apsolute bullshit and you dont lose actual weight. You also can’t lose 100 pounds in 30 days. I don’t even know why people are praising it
@@conormackey204 Agreed. This guy was completely full of shit. Right off the bat, you have a 600 pound dude walking 10 miles a day? Bullshit. Joe Rogan knew it was bullshit and was questioning this guy about how many hours it took.
Joe you’ve got to meet Dr Jason Fung he’ll explain it all re: fasting & excess skin, it’s called Autophagy the discovery of which led to an Nobel prize.

If you consistently pursue pleasure and avoid discomfort you may never know how amazing it feels on the flip side. Once you really embrace discomfort and take control of unhealthy pleasures - your physical, mental and spiritual health just skyrocket. AND there’s no crash. You stay elevated as long as you continue. Do the do’s and you’ll get the gets.
IT IS NOT GENETICS! Prolong FASTING has your body breaking down cells to use for fuel; like fats, skin, etc. The best part about fasting is that the body will FIRST break down the damaged cells.
I’ve yo-yo dieted all my life. I’m 43. I don’t need motivation to lose weight a single more time in my life. How? I started eating predominantly whole plant foods, as much as I want within the grains, beans, veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, and herb categories. I even use honey and maple syrup and milk-free choc chips. I eat tons of whole grain bread! I LOVE my food! And more than that, I love the freedom from addiction to food and from the stress of constant dieting :-). The Bible and the Blue zones research contains all the information and proof you need to know that this is the right way to eat to be truly free! I haven’t counted a calorie in a year. My body stays at its ideal weight for the first time in my whole life! And I enjoy food as much and more than ever. No guilt. And as Wim Hof would say, “no force.”
Alpt of fruits and veggies have ridiculous amounts of sugars and carbs in them. I keep my fruits to only blueberries and strawberrys. I dont eat high carb veggies or potatoes, etc. I eat cabbage , spinach, mixed greens, etc. I incorporate healthy fats like olive, avacodo, almond oil , as well as ghee. I dont eat red meat, it inflames me super bad. I eat chicken and fish. Basically it's a version of keto. I've lost 90 lbs. I'm learning to tweak things here and there.
.....your the bomb dude.....I run in the sun at noon here in Siam....why? Cause it's outside my comfort zone.....been doing it for 15 years. I come up with new runs every now and then to spice things up...."The avoidance of discomfort" remark really rang true with me....
Mansplainer ideally bf% / 20 = % of weight you should lose every week. Throw in a diet break at caloric maintenance the last week of the month & that turns out to be roughly 60lbs in a month for someone at 600lbs. In 72 weeks that puts them at roughly 200lbs. That’s an incredibly long diet so that’s probably still not feasible
@@tann_man some who is fat and stagnant, and suddenly becomes active all day will see more extreme results. Most differs so not work because that do not address lifestyle changes.
700 pounds man on his feet for 7 hours doing a race?? Straight bull shit there is no chance someone that size could be upright that long +you started a 700 pound man hiking ten miles a day no chance bruh...
At the end joes right. Prisons removed gyms because the prisoners were overpowering the guards. Now they use their body as their equipment and they still come out fucking jacked. It’s crazy
That thing he spoke about-"way before Wim Hof" that's the real cultural appropriation. It isn't that people shouldn't use useful things from other cultures, but that it must be acknowledged. In the case of India, the west has always portrayed us as insignificant or whacky while at the same time benefitting from our knowledge systems. Rajiv Malhotra has done important work to uncover some of it..
Dr Jason Fong does lots of good research on fasting, and has lots of videos out on how to do this safely. I see the quick results in this video. It's probably not the best way to do it. And leads to rebound and metabolic set point issues and other issues. Better to actually research to make lasting improvement. It's often better just to straight fast with water than to eat some.
That 3 dollar bill is better than nothing! Nothing is that beer and Taco Bell. The dollar bill can actually help you through the hard struggle you lazy ass🤡🤣👍🏽

Didn't know Bill Burr had a brother
I can see the joke you’re makin but he does have siblings already. Lmao you didn’t know?
I can't unhear or unsee it.
He lives in the forest. His real name is Tim Burr.
Been weight lifting since may 13 2020. 5'2 23 y/o female 170lbs start weight .
I am 2 months In I'm 160lbs. Its slow and steady, no cardio. It's slowly but this feels more of a lifestyle change and I have been a part of these diets before where you limit yourself to only lose muscle, water and dignity. I eat what is normal meats veggies. I do indulge in fast foods here and there. Nothing is planned, Just making better choices and like Greg Doucette says, TRAIN HARDER THAN LAST TIME...♥️♥️
Good for you. Sounds like you made a really great change and it's working.
Been walking about four miles a day and I feel damn good I’m proud of that guy he’s a trooper and will be motivated to push more....love the animosity
Being obese is NOT acceptable. Some people don't get a chance at life, children born prematurely or not at all, people are taken before their time in freak accidents or disease and then there's some people who decide to use their chance by abusing their body and taking it for granted. Honestly its disgusting and they're no better than drug addicts, this is coming from someone who used to be 120kg (264lbs) now i weigh 79kg (174lbs) work out 5-6 times a week, go boxing, hike up mountains, rarely drink or eat junk food, dont do social media and just generally live a more fulfilling life. If you're overweight and are wanting to make this journey i wish you all the best and if you start you're already better than most, take control of your body and mind, be disciplined and formidable.
i listened to some of the "vegan propaganda" and there is so many stories similar to this. its genuinely mind boggling how a raw plant based diet can flip your life around! Same thing happened to me; i went fully plant based and virtually every single health problem/struggle i had magically vanished within 3 months. Got my life back when i was so certain it wouldn't even be healthy...
I've been plant based for 15 years. I'm 38 and people think I'm 25. I always credit my diet.
@@aritenenbaum391 I haven't noticed any physically visible aspects as I'm still young but I've had rheumatoid arthritis since birth and the pain from that prevented me from working out and getting fit overall, and now on a plant based diet I'm pain free for around 7 months now 🥰. Kudos to you for doing that for so long now! At first I had severe doubts about the whole thing but with the insane changes I've noticed there is no way I'm not sticking to it! Xoxo friend!
@@WTFisMYname24 What was your diet before?
@@ablebodied175 I was vegetarian for 15 years before that.
@@aritenenbaum391 I bet that wasn't "raw" vegetables, though. Which will make you faint, and eventually lose brain function.
I have a hard time believing a almost 700 pound man could even walk let alone do anything else
Especially for 20 miles everyday, going on rough terrains! His knees must have been begging for help. But if he was indeed not bullshitting then shoutout to that dude, must’ve felt like hell for him yet he kept going everyday.
You'd be surprised! Tall fat people can be deceptively heavy and move around.
Same. How could you hike 10 miles a day at 700 pounds and not either die or get serious knee/ankle injuries....
ikr?
@@AJAMbaybay I think Cena is exaggerating. You shouldn't push somebody to the extreme on day one, anyway. That shit can cause suicide. Always best to 'taper' off a dangerously bad habit.
Look into Autophagy. Cellular recycling that occurs after 42 hours of fasting, hence no loose skin.
Is that where your body is so starved for calories that it eats your skin?
@@joshuamcdowell1460 No... google it bro
What was his motivation?
De Sena: I took his keys and wallet
I’ve never been obese (I’m almost 6’6”), but I’ve lost 100lbs in a month...TWICE.
300-200. It was just constant exercise and clean eating.
I never felt better.
what'd you eat and what kind of exercises did you do?
nat banz I cut my caloric intake in half, cut out simple carbs, and ate 1g of protein for every pound I wanted to weigh, a day. Only ate poultry, raw veggies, and low-glycemic carbs.
Supplemented with Nordic Naturals fish oil, creatine, milk thistle (liquid), whey isolate, 200mgs of caffeine 2x a day, tribulus, 4000iu of vitamin D, and BCAA aminos.
I was at the gym every day. I’d train weights every other day, with a 30min cardio session to warm up, and worked my way up to 90 mins on the elliptical on the days I wasn’t lifting. Sometimes I’d cardio 2x a day.
Trick is, to get your heart rate between 130-150 during cardio, and keep it there as long as possible. Nothing else matters-ignore distance. Ignore resistance and interval training, until you’re able to do those 90 minutes easily.
A great weight-training program to start?
www.mensjournal.com/health-fitness/eternal-beach-body-workout-plan/
Here’s a source to determine your daily caloric intake. Cut your daily need by 50%, and don’t increase until your fat stores are depleted:
www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html
Don’t even weigh yourself, because you’re going to be building muscle, and the number will discourage you.
Just look in the mirror, and notice how your clothes fit.
Good luck!!!
TheGalwayjoyce Thanks! I appreciate it!
Lol so he held him hostage ?!? Jesus dude
He was walking 20 miles a day, he could have walked home.
Yea writing it down works, my rules is I write my workout for the day on the board and underneath it I write “once it’s on the board, it gets done” so I don’t cut it short
i like that system, you’ll visually see it daily
When he initially said “the farm,” I really through he meant, “The Farm!” LOL
I never understood how someone could AFFORD the groceries it would require to get to 700lbs?
Some people have very slow metabolisms so it might not take them eating as much as others to reach that weight
What's the point of making someone walk 20 miles a day and putting them on an unsustainable diet? It sounds like they just used this guy to get his extreme makeover to promote whatever they're doing.
For a diet to work longterm, they have to be able to sustain it. It's the biggest reason people gain back weight after dieting. Keto is a great example of that.
Why wouldn't you give the guy protein? Eating high protein gives you satiety. I'm a complete junk food junkie, but eating high protein got me over it.
Exactly. It has to be about sustainable lifestyle adjustments.
He could have spent the time after he got the guy down to a functional human weight, to reprogram his mind to a way of eating and exercising that will last forever. The results wouldn’t have been so dramatic, but there is more chance that the guy would have continued to lose weight and gain strength, instead of immediately blowing out.
Absolutely This guy lost ALL credibility. I get you aren’t into the psychological aspects of dieting, but give these ppl a fighting chance by offering a reasonable diet while exercising. You’re no better then The Biggest Loser. There’s a reason why TBL doesn’t have reunion shows
Yup. I found the whole interview annoying. Spartan Races have changed the lives of so many people but never by promoting hard work---not fad diets. Why spend so much time trying to prove to Joe and his listeners that you are a moron with these stories? A highly motivated and motivating moron but a moron nonetheless.
The people that believe this guy are low IQ types who believe in fad diets to begin with. Blown away this video has more likes than disliked when he's clearly lying.
I have done this. Ate only fruit and vegetables and salad. Lost 1 pound a day. Could only stand it for a week or 2, when I added small amounts of protein lost 1/2 pound a day. If I added 2 slices of bread I lost NO weight.
If I wanted to lose weight fast I would go on the fruit and veg diet. But it gets boring before long.
“No I think that’s it” “Obviously we’re both morons” -Joe “Jamie pull that up” Rogan 🤣🤣🤣🤣
autophagy is the mechanism by which fasting removes the loose skin
that is... your cells eat themselves, and they start with the junk material.
When I was in my late teens, if I went to McD's for breakfast, I would order a large coffee and 5 McMuffins. I was 6'3 and about 175lbs at the time. I think metabolism plays a big part in becoming obese vs not becoming obese. Now that I'm 51, I don't go to McD's anymore, I eat (mostly) healthy, but I'm up to about 210 lbs. Obviously my metabolism has slowed down. I'm also nowhere near as active. So I guess that doesn't help.
Tbf 175 lbs for 6’3 is skinny do 210 is very good weight for 6’3 especially at 51 nice one dude
You’re brave and Plz keep going! I’m 18 and my mom tells me to enjoy the crazy energy of me eating a lot on not being heavy. As you get older your, body slows down. I’m losing belly fat as smart as I can.
Same weight and similar age. I notice I can eat a bunch and not pack on weight quickly. Not as good as you but still good imo.
As you get older, you lose muscle. Something like 1% per year. But muscle is closely linked to your resting metabolic rate. When you control for muscle mass, ageing doesn't cause weight gain. Different for women, who have hormonal chsnges going on. But anyway, you're doing well for your age, but I'd say if you lifted, some of that fat would fall off!
I legit thought it said "Now that I'm 5'1"
Listening to this as I'm doing my 60th day workout from an online app. Its possible and it still kicks my butt haha.
I weight 300lbs and I have to wedge myself into an airplane sear. That’s fucking ridiculous. I will never fly again unless it’s a dire emergency.
It is very important to note that what they are saying is completely anecdotal and is very dangerous to do.
I wasnt sure about this guy before but after listening to this podcast its changed my mind
This is Bill Burr if “Frank Murphy” stayed in the military.
I did a juicing fast for 90 days an lost 150 lbs. i was at 430lbs at my heaviest currently im at 225 its been 5 years since i started my weightloss journey it definitely worked for me
That's incredible! Good for you. It's not easy.
Jesus, I mean do you feel okay? That sounds terrible
Andrew Gundy day 1-3 were easy day 4-6 started getting hunger pains an cramping a little bit but after that my body adjusted to it an it became very easy
That’s amazing can’t imagine losing that much well done
"Obviously we're both morons but.. " 😂😂
😂😂 “this is our Jared this is our subway”
“Seek Discomfort”
Joe should get the Yes Theory guys on the podcast!
Gained 18 pounds back in a day? That's impossible.
Nah what it means is this guys methods are apsolute bullshit and you dont lose actual weight. You also can’t lose 100 pounds in 30 days. I don’t even know why people are praising it
@@conormackey204 Agreed. This guy was completely full of shit. Right off the bat, you have a 600 pound dude walking 10 miles a day? Bullshit. Joe Rogan knew it was bullshit and was questioning this guy about how many hours it took.
Joe you’ve got to meet Dr Jason Fung he’ll explain it all re: fasting & excess skin, it’s called Autophagy the discovery of which led to an Nobel prize.
You should watch Layne Norton's latest video. He is debunking Dr Fung
@@stevend481 his latest video? Where he repeatedly calls him Dr Dung? On his site where he's trying to aggressively sell his own product and service? The only thing he's "debunking" is his own credibility.
Wings of redemption should watch this for motivation 😂😂
He said we found our Jared from the subway commercials haha
Bill Burr's little brother is fucking hilarious and inspirational
Good post, Joe from Joe. Just a couple of Joes! :^) Merry Christmas.
The guy went from SUPERSIZE ME to DOWNSIZE ME lol
Never seen this guy before. Love him
If you consistently pursue pleasure and avoid discomfort you may never know how amazing it feels on the flip side. Once you really embrace discomfort and take control of unhealthy pleasures - your physical, mental and spiritual health just skyrocket. AND there’s no crash. You stay elevated as long as you continue. Do the do’s and you’ll get the gets.
IT IS NOT GENETICS! Prolong FASTING has your body breaking down cells to use for fuel; like fats, skin, etc. The best part about fasting is that the body will FIRST break down the damaged cells.
Glad the guy lost weight but damn it sounds like he did it in a unnecessarily difficult and miserable way.
I heard "raw foods and vegetables" about 300 times
Yes sir Joe. I will. I'm 50 lbs overweight.
I’ve yo-yo dieted all my life. I’m 43. I don’t need motivation to lose weight a single more time in my life. How? I started eating predominantly whole plant foods, as much as I want within the grains, beans, veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, and herb categories. I even use honey and maple syrup and milk-free choc chips. I eat tons of whole grain bread! I LOVE my food! And more than that, I love the freedom from addiction to food and from the stress of constant dieting :-). The Bible and the Blue zones research contains all the information and proof you need to know that this is the right way to eat to be truly free! I haven’t counted a calorie in a year. My body stays at its ideal weight for the first time in my whole life! And I enjoy food as much and more than ever. No guilt. And as Wim Hof would say, “no force.”
Alpt of fruits and veggies have ridiculous amounts of sugars and carbs in them. I keep my fruits to only blueberries and strawberrys. I dont eat high carb veggies or potatoes, etc. I eat cabbage , spinach, mixed greens, etc. I incorporate healthy fats like olive, avacodo, almond oil , as well as ghee. I dont eat red meat, it inflames me super bad. I eat chicken and fish. Basically it's a version of keto. I've lost 90 lbs. I'm learning to tweak things here and there.
Whats my jared mean .. why dont u say that? Lol
How can I come out to the farm? I’m nowhere near 600 but I could use help using weight and getting healthy.
Man, wish i had the ability to go out to this guys farm and drop this last 150 lbs.
.....your the bomb dude.....I run in the sun at noon here in Siam....why? Cause it's outside my comfort zone.....been doing it for 15 years. I come up with new runs every now and then to spice things up...."The avoidance of discomfort" remark really rang true with me....
Joe you say Dom deAugustine I say Dom DeLuise, 😂
He goes to this wrestling club that I go to and his workouts r no joke. This guy is an absolute nut but I respect it. He’s a fucking beast.
Please help me find the video/documentary of this, I can't find it...
It’s not a surprise these guys rebounded. This guy is not someone I’d recommend for diet advice
I don’t know who he is but he is clearly an advocate for Crash dieting, which 95% of the time, doesn’t keep weight off. So I agree
@@xChocoFudgeZz2012 18 months isn't really a crash diet
Mansplainer 300lbs is a lot no? And 100lbs in 30 days, each to their own but I’m putting my money on crash diet
Mansplainer ideally bf% / 20 = % of weight you should lose every week. Throw in a diet break at caloric maintenance the last week of the month & that turns out to be roughly 60lbs in a month for someone at 600lbs. In 72 weeks that puts them at roughly 200lbs. That’s an incredibly long diet so that’s probably still not feasible
@@tann_man some who is fat and stagnant, and suddenly becomes active all day will see more extreme results. Most differs so not work because that do not address lifestyle changes.
does anybody know the name of the 600 pound guy?
Joe rogan firing me up to work out at the end there boooooy 👏🏽👏🏽
700 pounds man on his feet for 7 hours doing a race?? Straight bull shit there is no chance someone that size could be upright that long +you started a 700 pound man hiking ten miles a day no chance bruh...
At the end joes right. Prisons removed gyms because the prisoners were overpowering the guards. Now they use their body as their equipment and they still come out fucking jacked. It’s crazy
Bert?
Well that is a no brainer that #2 gained all the weight back and more when you are told to eat only apples for 30 days.
Joe Rogan helped me drop from 300lbs to 190lbs.
wow fascinating story, gotta listen to the entire podcast
It's finding something sustainable so you don't do these massive rebounds from fit to fat
Speak about Dr Sebi and his theories Joe !!!
Yup. Make it so regular that it becomes part of your daily routine, and then, get it done.
So only fruits and veggies? That works?
That sounds incredible, I'm not obese or even mostly overweight but I'd love to just go somewhere and cut out all the distractions
Good video uncle joe
That thing he spoke about-"way before Wim Hof" that's the real cultural appropriation. It isn't that people shouldn't use useful things from other cultures, but that it must be acknowledged. In the case of India, the west has always portrayed us as insignificant or whacky while at the same time benefitting from our knowledge systems. Rajiv Malhotra has done important work to uncover some of it..
India's wisdom is vastly underappreciated.
A problem in todays society is the acceptance of obesity. Nobody should be shamed or insulted but we need to encourage healthier lifestyles
Dr Jason Fong does lots of good research on fasting, and has lots of videos out on how to do this safely. I see the quick results in this video. It's probably not the best way to do it. And leads to rebound and metabolic set point issues and other issues. Better to actually research to make lasting improvement. It's often better just to straight fast with water than to eat some.
Ah yes, the reverse Supersize me
Well obviously he was starving himself and there was nutrients in the skin so his body used it
A 720 degree turn? So he turned around twice and was still looking the same way?
This guy is as trustworthy as a three dollar bill. Im gonna order some beer and taco bell in protest.
That 3 dollar bill is better than nothing! Nothing is that beer and Taco Bell. The dollar bill can actually help you through the hard struggle you lazy ass🤡🤣👍🏽
@@damianmigginis1157 that dollar is gonna get me a bean burrito. Your mother.
8 egg McMuffins per day for breakfast lmao
Joe De Sena is the guy that gets punched in the face at a bar, by a guy thats 300+ and then calls his dad to tell him what happened
crash dieting worked for me. I was 974 lbs and dropped down to 171 lbs.
Seek Discomfort
Put glasses and a rug on the dudes head and he'll look like Ralph Cifaretto's twin.
John you're talking about health benefits of caloric restriction.
Whale’s Willy caloric restriction has very different results from fasting and intermediate fasting
I went from 650 to 250 what a difference from 6x 7x shirts to 2x
