Ethan mentioned his wife at one point. Imagine having a wife who’s stayed with you in those hard times and being able to come home all ripped and know she was your wife for the right reasons.
Amazing interview. I was 360 lbs 4 years ago. The Bert and Tom fat shaming podcast on JRE turned things around for me. Am now I am a gym rat, 239 lbs loose skin and all. Ethan is a true inspiration. #bertisfat.
@@JUMPMAN-uu3bg man since he moved everything to Spotify I can’t find it. It was like 4 years or so ago. It was him and and Tom and they made a bet with Ari about loosing weight. At the time they started the hashtag bertisfat.
All I can say is good for you. I have little spikes here and there and then recover, but it’s a big thing for me - more going from being miserable to being super happy and productive. I can’t imagine going through that kind of transformation. It’s not just life changing for you, dude. You inspire people. So good job and thank you. Please keep it up.
Is the loose skin really bad? I was 375lbs 3 months ago, dropped to 340lbs, and then for the last 10 days I’ve been meal prepping and working out hard as hell. I’m lifting hard and do have a lifting background. I’m hoping to not have a shit load of skin left.
I really liked this: "It is so much different than with drugs; for me, drugs and alcohol are really an either-or. I'm either doing them or I'm not. With food, you have to eat. So it's so much more complicated." -Ethan at 19:29
There's a level of drug addiction that makes getting your fix just as important as eating. Bc with out it you're not able to eat or do anything for that matter. So I assume his drug use was more recreational. But I see his point.
@@mamabear2974 He said (dunno ex. if it was here) that he´s been sober since 2005. And the way he was able to portray Randy in My Name is Earl, indicates me that he didn´t went all the way down the rabbit hole. And i´m very glad for that, i loved Randy :)
@@mamabear2974 too true.. but even though it might not feel possible, the big quit (or taper) is possible, whereas it’s physically no way to quit food as far as we know. Those “breatharians” seem pretty crazy tho 🤷🏽♂️
Ugh I can relate. I know it's not healthy but I'm an all or nothing kind of guy. Like I can have zero donuts or several donuts but I can't have just 1. Same went when I was on drugs. I would have to get completely sloshed or none at all. And Tom is completely right it's all because of past trauma. No excuse but I know that's why I turned into an addict.
I look at this man as an absolute inspiration. I hear his story and it reminds me in many ways of myself. So far I've lost over 150Lbs. The goal I set was nearly 3 years ago. While I am still in pursuit of my 200Lb goal I know one thing is for certain. It is a lifestyle change and I am never going back. NEVER.
Inspired. I’m only 250 lb and was 260lb after my second baby but sometimes when I watch people who lost weight I feel bad but this guy makes me not tear myself apart. I feel optimistic
Awesome, man! Congratulations on owning your life! Wish I'd had your strength years ago. I'm cool now. Just took me until about 50 to wake up for real.
One of the reasons I am uncomfortable about the “healthy at any size” movement is it attempts to strip away the validity of a story like Ethan’s. Imagine being 400-500 pounds and celebrating that as “healthy” ... then there’s Ethan who’s grinding out this new life for himself and hearing about people who don’t view this weight loss as a noble endeavor. And now we have magazine covers celebrating obesity, claiming its healthy. Do naturally bigger people exist? Of course! But morbid obesity is not healthy and should never be justified as such. I’ve been struggling with my weight for 10+ years and take great inspiration from Ethan.
My problem with "healthy at any size" is that I'm 5'7 and pushing 350lbs. My blood pressure has went through the roof, I've started having issues with the lower discs in my back (causing severe pain if I stand for more than a couple minutes without something to lean on), I have frequent chest pains, and I run out of breath just taking a shower. The last thing I need is someone telling me that it isn't because I'm fat, and that I can still be healthy at this size. I also don't need to hear that I should be happy with how I look, and not think that I need to be a certain size to look good. There's a big difference from thinking that you need to lose 20lbs. so that you look like that supermodel on the magazine cover, and being hundreds of pounds overweight and accepting that you're fat and humans aren't designed to be that large. I never thought I would live in a world were there's "fit shaming" lol. People like Ethan should be made examples of. To see someone that really was at that far end of the spectrum of weight, not only lose the weight, but also bulk up and look as good as he does...that's truly inspirational right there.
People hear things like you can (truly) be 20 pounds overweight and it's not an issue for your health and so they expand it to cover whatever extent they are overweight, and part of that is because they simply don't want to put the effort into changing their lifestyle. Because it's easier to tell everyone else they're wrong for calling you unhealthy than it is to overhaul your life. And the healthy at any weight moment is comprised almost entirely of people who are overweight. But you know who you don't see much of flying that banner? Physicians. Because there's no one with a medical degree who's worth a damn who would ever agree it's totally ok to be 100+ pounds overweight.
I'm 5 months into my weight loss journey, started 310lb down to 230.6lb. Ethan Suplee was a massive inspiration towards that, so although he'll never see it, I'll be eternally grateful for him!
@MrChristopho A big help was the wrestler diamond dallas pages yoga program just to get my body moving, then everyday I would watch some sort of weight loss success story. I cut cut my calories to 1000-1200 a day, I would only eat in a 7 hour window as well so I was fasting for 17 hours. And exercising an hour a day, manly walking for the first 3 months. I sounds a lot and it does take dedication but honestly after 2-3 weeks you get in such a routine and you feel the benefits instantly it becomes 2nd nature. If you're just starting out mate good luck. If I can do it anyone can 👍 oh and take photos so you can see your progress, that helped immensely.
Ethan is my inspiration. I’ve been a big dude all my life. I hit 280 pounds last year and decided enough was enough. Now I’ve lost 42 pounds and more is coming off by the day. Best thing I’ve ever done and this man showed me it can be done.
When Ethan shared that he didn't want to hold his gfs hand in public out of fear it would somehow tarnish her reputation for being with a big guy, really activated my tears ducts.
I weigh 345 pounds right now, and I’m 23 years old. This honestly gives me so much motivation. There’s times where I thing about my weight constantly like they both mentioned. And one of the big things I think about the most is the much I weigh now it’s it to late to go back and lose it and this dude just gave me the answer
Good lucky buddy .. I can’t imagine how hard it could be I’m in the opposite my whole life I’ve been in sports for 20 years and I can’t gain any weight my whole life I couldn’t get past 120 and people would say maybe your lucky but I look at my self as a bigger person would but as me looking as I feel so gross in my own skin clothes don’t fit and so forth . But good luck
What Tom said at 1:19:30 "I know you're saying you're not special - think you're special, because i don't know anybody like you..." Ethan's trajectory is truly inspiring and very motivating !
When Ethan explains how he would want to eat in private at the end of the night, it floored me how familiar that felt. But when he made the comment about getting burgers at the 7/11 because somehow it was ok for those clerks to see him that way... Holy shit, that hit home in a big way. I've never said anything like that out loud, and I'm a pretty open book. What a dark and gross thought, but I've had it and I'm glad he shared it. I hate all this body positive stuff going around today. You shouldn't be nasty to people and harass them, everyone knows that. "God grant me the strength to change the things I can and accept what I cannot" I'm not religious but this sentiment is overflowing with truthiness. I'm really happy for Ethan.
@@thekobykidz2586 you just inspired a lot of kids to stay in college lmao. The difference is in being intelligent or "smart" and being able to properly articulate yourself. y use many word when few word good
@@AgendaInMind cool!!! But it's not called the cancer/diabetes virus because they are not transmitted it is called the flu virus like aids/HIV they can be transmitted albeit in different ways. I'm not in total disagreement with you. I just don't understand "the man" stopping billions upon billions of dollars in tax money and profit worldwide over the last year to make one industry (medical) super powerful. And if the argument is because they want power ... Well if they were able to bring the entire global economy to a standstill for over a year then how much more powerful can they be??? I hope you don't read this and feel like I'm trying to bitch you out. You are obviously very intelligent and my intention is to try and learn as much as I question!!!
Best Tom Talk so far. Ethan Suplee is a gentle giant. Loved him since Mall Rats. He seems like such a good soul. I hope all the best comes to him and his family. Oh and his wife is ducking saint. What a woman.
I’m gonna join a gym and go to it. I’m pushing over 450 pounds and I’m truly miserable, Ethan proves it’s possible. I write this with tears in my eyes knowing I have so much potential and the thing keeping me is my insecurities with my weight. Fuck obesity I’m done.
When Tom and Ethan discuss seeing themselves at their heaviest this is exactly how Bert currently feels when he's off camera. I'm glad he in therapy. He would find this episode highly relatable and possibly inspiring.
The real problem is that people around him dont take his alcoholism seriously. They'll just laugh about a guy having multiple drinks before 12 a clock and describing it as "just a drink" it's sad.
@@Plague_Doc22 couldn't agree more man. I've found Bert terribly frustrating over the years struggling to find something positive about him. The only thing I could think of is, "At least Bert doesn't consider himself to being better than anyone." That's kinda admirable but I just wish he had a skill set and didn't get excited about everything like Jimmy Fallon or a little girl.
@@davidlloydmiller Yeah I somewhat agree. I think he's overly childish in the way he's too "hype" for just about anything. His stand up is alright I guess. I just think it's sad seeing someone be so selfish they rather drink themselfs to an early grave than to give those extra years to his kids.
@@Plague_Doc22 keeping that party boy life style where I’m sure he could perfect his craft of stand up because yes he is funny but obviously when he makes excuses for drinking at 6am (to celebrate his power) it’s a problem.
@@robertlee7759 Yeah and nobody takes it seriously anymore "because thats just bert" that's fucking stupid. Wouldn't do that if it was heroin. But because its booze now its fine. It's so damn dumb man, a good friend would step in.
I started listening to Ethans podcast American Glutton a couple months ago, I came across it looking for a laugh from Will Sasso. I listen to it on Spotify no video just audio. The Sasso episode is really good. Hope whoever reads this has a good day.
i don’t know how many times i said “that’s me!” while listening to this podcast. thank you guys for having this discussion that so many people need to hear.
I remember seeing him for the first time in Remember the Titans. Its beyond startling looking at pictures of him from then and looking at him now. Dude is a soldier. A lot of respect for this man.
This was the realest conversation about weight loss ive ever seen. Two guys who have struggled with weight talking about how it actually is. Not how people who have never struggled think it is.
It really takes a guy like Ethan to make people understand just how much food can fuck with you. And how crazy hard it is to change their lifestyle around the way he did.
This episode was better than any other episode on any podcast Tom wanted to know how Ethan feels during each period of his life wich brought so many feels.... awesome 95min thank you.
I'm going to be honest. I am 350 pounds and have more health issues than I can count. I swear on my life that I am going to change who I am. Looking at how big he was (200 pounds more than me) why can't I do it. Ethan has opened a chamber in my mind that I never thought would be opened. Mark my words I will be healthy by 2022. It's either I do it now or it will never happen. I have never in my life watched a interview like this with so much attention. This is very inspiring and he will never know how inspiring it is. Thank you Tom for this interview because this is something I am going to use to better myself.
Good on you man. You can do it. One day at a time, it won't happen over night. Just keep coming back to this video when you struggle or plateau. Another recent interview I found inspiring was Theo Von and Chris Nikic. Stay positive, this stranger is routing for you.
18:00 "is this day gonna be contagious" That is an award-worthy way to describe the situation. I honestly expected Ethan to have a bit of an ego because of this unbelievable accomplishment, yet the man appears entirely humble and now has more wisdom than weight. Very happy for ya Mista Suplee- way to go. Please keep inspiring people; your advice fits most forms of addiction and you could truly help millions if not billions of people if they took your words, lessons, and experience to heart
Ethan is the most inspiring and likable person in acting in my opinion. He makes you love what you're watching. Nothing but iconic roles and he seems like the nicest guy on the planet.
Thanks for the interview Tom and Ethan. I was 300+ in high school and college (325 max) and decided to lose weight after another friend lost weight. I got down to 185 my senior year of college and maintained that for a few years, however, I had the same feeling that Ethan had. Now I’m too frail. 13 years later and I’m now ~200 and feeling good in my skin. I sometimes have bouts of stress that I don’t look like I should but I have to remind myself that I did something really hard and I’ve maintained it.
I've always been a big fan of Ethan Suplee. This video was incredible and honestly emotional. My older brother passed away in October 2020. He was obese (close to the weight of Ethan when he was at his biggest) and he had mental health problems too (nothing severe just anxiety/depression). But in July I sat with him and we talked about him needed to get healthier. He agreed and I was able to match him with a personal trainer named Big Mike (this dude looks like the hulk). He started training and loved it. He was losing weight and happy and looking good. I knew it was gonna take time but he also had sleep apnea so that got in his way. I miss him so much because he was fighting to get his old life back and he was training HARD. Now, I carry that legacy by eating right, hitting the gym 5-6 times per week for 2 hours, and staying active. This video was tough but I'm glad I watched it through.
It's great to see someone talk so openly about such a transformation and the mental state behind it. Very inspiring to someone who is also very heavy and just starting my lifestyle change. Slow and steady and healthy with little breaks.
So I was 358 in high school and got down to 248 in about 8 months my sophomore to junior year. Through some battles in life, I have sky rocketed back up and then some to 445 of this year. In January, I have begun to take back my life. I am currently 424 and working my back to living my life. Ethan and John (obese to beast) have been the biggest inspirations to me. I loved watching them grow as people, both in films and online. I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the knowledge to do this
I'm a former 3 sport athlete with a health issue that makes losing weight extremely hard....I am now a 600 pound truck driver and this podcast has seriously made me open my eyes and I will now be trying to change jobs so I can get back to living life and cut this weight....thank you from the very bottom of my heart
What a sweetie pie! I lost a lot of weight about 8 years ago and can relate to a lot of this. Especially the “lifestyle” stuff. He took it to the next level!
P.s. I've been trying to get a grip on my eating disorder for about 2 years now- I really really needed this. I developed my eating disorder when I was in the military, and the guys in my shop were poking at me for my weight gain- I went from 120 to 150. Looking back a lot of it must have been muscle because I was at the gym on base almost everyday, but I didn't see it then. I know that men have gone through these things too, but this is the first time I'm hearing men talk about it. Thank you Ethan and Tom.
As an alcoholic, I'm astounded at how many parallels I'm hearing in this talk about weight struggles that I experience with booze. Thanks so much for this.
Ethan is such a solid dude and I related to his struggle with trying to do insane diets to lose weight right away. When I started losing weight I was just eating a chicken breast a day thinking it was healthy. It’s a hard mindset to grow out of.
seen so many friends fail constantly because of this mindset. tbh the only ones I brought along with my journey, from "thicc" to "being able to see my dick", are the people who committed to intermittent fasting & those who found a time period that worked best for them. My old roommate who started with me had the biggest transformation when he realized that he doesn't need breakfast & shifted his 8 hour window from noon to 8pm eating 3 small meals throughout that & from 2pm to 10pm on days he planning on drinking. if you go all "oh I feel like shit in the morning I am not going to eat" until you are insanely irrational and hungry you are just going to MAX on total BS when you finally crack & the cycle continues. If you dont get hungry when you need to eat, using cannabis is your friend (assuming it works for you). thats how I started eating at normal times & not just 2am in excess lol
@@von... could not relate more. The chicken breast a day phase is when I was doing heavy intermittent fasting, which is how I dropped 60 pounds in a few months. Went ham on cardio, burning 1000 cals a day on that alone, 7 days a week. A lot of people think you can eat anything when intermittent fasting, so they don’t see changes. 3 trips to mickey d’s while IF is not going to give the outcomes they want. Also, I have been seeing some dumb shit about people saying IF is “an eating disorder”. Like what the fuck is that about???
Ethan is truly inspiring. I've struggled with weight and crystal meth addiction. Am sober now thankfully and lost the weight but is so meaningful to hear someone talk about it in a relatable way. Tommy buns killing it too as usual. Continue keeping it high and tight Hitler's. Live life 365.
I came to the comments thinking the same thing. Tom is a very good conversationalist. He asks all the questions I am thinking in the same way I was thinking them. Do more on your own Tom.
God damn when he is talking about the eating and the alcohol, it hits home, the drive throughs the feeling ashamed of how much I order the black outs god damn, you are an inspiration. I’ve been sober 6 and a half years but still struggle with the food from time to time.
I'm a woman in my late 30s working on losing too. Well over 200lbs & it's hard becuz of many conditions in my life. But I need every little encouragement possible. Thanks Tom for this.
My favorite Tom Talks so far. Ethan is amazing, I'd love to see an Ethan inspired challenge when Tom is ready and hopefully with Ethan's involvement. Improve, maintain, improve, maintain. :D
One of the things I noticed was Ethan's amazing ability to listen. It's almost part of the thing that he has made a huge change on. He has stopped his compulsive nature to react. I am a compulsive person and a lot of us that in recovery from food addictions are very compulsive. I now sit and thing about the foods I am eating not just knee jerk reacting to the environment. there are so many trigger factors in anything like this. Amazing episode.
His story of getting food all the time and eating till he can't anymore is like my life. I did Insanity once and got lost 35lbs in 2 months and got a 6 pack, 205 down to 170...stayed around that weight for 2 or 3yrs, then gradually gained it...now I'm 225 and the fattest I've ever been in my life again, but diets and workout programs don't do shit. Lifestyle change like you guys said is what I need now that I'm 30.
I watched this story for the first time yesterday. Just a short of this whole interview. So inspiring. Right after I watched I went for a walk. And ended up walking 10k . Just kept it in my head . Even if it takes 20 years . And today I did the same. Amazing.
So inspiring listening to two people who have gone through that weight loss and healthy living journey. I'm a naturally skinny person, but it motivates me to keep working out and eating good
I agree, the real truth of obesity needs to be discussed.. It is an addiction, my friend said it best " it's the only addiction that won't get your kids taken away". It is literally waved in your face EVERYWHERE! I loved hearing this! losing weight is the easier part once you get your mind right. Keeping it off and tackling the mental side of food addiction is where the real work begins.
@@mrs.riche3939 yep and your mind totally fucks you up. The more you try to not eat certain things the more you want to eat it. You have to totally change the way you think about food.
I really felt everything they discussed, felt very empathetic and personal. We need more conversations about the nuances and untold gray area of food addiction/food compulsion and how overcoming your thoughts and behaviors is a day to day, hour by hour process - much like drugs and alcohol. I hope more healthcare providers, body shamers, and body positivity people can find middle ground after they hear people like Tom and Ethan talk.
Tom, your comment about always thinking about your weight in all situations.. really resonated with me. I do that all the time.. It's been in my head off and on over 20 years.
1:02:45- 1:06:00 blew my mind! I never thought or wanted to admit how so much that Ethan is saying is so true about myself. This podcast has been life changing in some ways Tom. I started listening to you for the comedy but absolutely love these kinds of podcasts as well. Thank you Ethan and Tom for sharing some of your journeys and helping us out here that want to make a change in our lifestyle!!
Lmao Joe has a 100 million dollar contract. You can’t have Alex Jones spewing crazy shit anymore. It’s no longer just joes show. I bet you have bitched about fake news more then once too you hypocrite
What's amazing about this guy is he got up to 550 or so, got down to 250, went up again over 400 and now is back and stable around 250-275 but very muscular and in shape. He didn't just lose the weight--he's done it multiple times. Like crawling out of hell, getting dragged back in and fighting your way back out AGAIN. You can't help but be inspired. Also, one of the best character actors of his generation, hands down.
Ethan is such a handsome guy, its absolutely amazing how far he has come and the transformation he has made in his own life. This is inspiring as all get out and I am glad i took the time to watch this. WTG Ethan Suplee!
@@WKRP187 Mallrats and American History X are my immediate reactions. I'm a huge Jason Lee fan and I didn't even watch My Name is Earl until a couple years ago.
Tom made this podcast, just so he can do all the talking he doesnt get to do on 2B1C. Even Ethan at his heaviest still wasn't larger than burnt Christmas. Such a great guest. Ethan should feel proud.
I'm so glad that Ethan is normalizing food addiction. I'm down 152 pounds since January 2020 and it's all because I was able to recognize food addiction and get support for it.
I remember one podcast segment where Tom and bert were talking about how delusional they both were for thinking "one day I'll get there" in reference to being in shape and having abs. Ethan is proof that they're both wrong, tom can get there.
No, but in the normal sense, nice guys do finish last - I would say. Nice guys wait for their turn, and Ethan did not - he **took** control (after realizing he had to). He is a very compassionate sounding guy for sure.
I can't tell you how much I needed this. I started my weight loss journey last week. I was at 500lbs. I'm down 6 lbs!! Thank you Tom and Ethan!
Best of luck to you bro, love you.
Congratulations my dude, you got this!
Keep up the good work man!
Thanks guys it's going to be challenging. I think Ethan is the realest one to listen too. He's not sugar coating shit.

Awesome, man! Congratulations on owning your life! Wish I'd had your strength years ago. I'm cool now. Just took me until about 50 to wake up for real.
One of the reasons I am uncomfortable about the “healthy at any size” movement is it attempts to strip away the validity of a story like Ethan’s. Imagine being 400-500 pounds and celebrating that as “healthy” ... then there’s Ethan who’s grinding out this new life for himself and hearing about people who don’t view this weight loss as a noble endeavor. And now we have magazine covers celebrating obesity, claiming its healthy. Do naturally bigger people exist? Of course! But morbid obesity is not healthy and should never be justified as such. I’ve been struggling with my weight for 10+ years and take great inspiration from Ethan.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
My problem with "healthy at any size" is that I'm 5'7 and pushing 350lbs. My blood pressure has went through the roof, I've started having issues with the lower discs in my back (causing severe pain if I stand for more than a couple minutes without something to lean on), I have frequent chest pains, and I run out of breath just taking a shower. The last thing I need is someone telling me that it isn't because I'm fat, and that I can still be healthy at this size. I also don't need to hear that I should be happy with how I look, and not think that I need to be a certain size to look good. There's a big difference from thinking that you need to lose 20lbs. so that you look like that supermodel on the magazine cover, and being hundreds of pounds overweight and accepting that you're fat and humans aren't designed to be that large. I never thought I would live in a world were there's "fit shaming" lol. People like Ethan should be made examples of. To see someone that really was at that far end of the spectrum of weight, not only lose the weight, but also bulk up and look as good as he does...that's truly inspirational right there.
You can do it too. 😊
Agreed
People hear things like you can (truly) be 20 pounds overweight and it's not an issue for your health and so they expand it to cover whatever extent they are overweight, and part of that is because they simply don't want to put the effort into changing their lifestyle. Because it's easier to tell everyone else they're wrong for calling you unhealthy than it is to overhaul your life. And the healthy at any weight moment is comprised almost entirely of people who are overweight. But you know who you don't see much of flying that banner? Physicians. Because there's no one with a medical degree who's worth a damn who would ever agree it's totally ok to be 100+ pounds overweight.
We need to make Ethan an action star now. Lifetime of acting experience and now looking like a stud. Great fucking job bro.
I'm in... such an inspiration... I'm watching whatever channing Tatum movie he's gonna b in 10x. Support Ethan the action star!

@@rosscoeradio3741 if it finally gets Spotify to fully support video I’m sold💯😂
You Cot Damn right!!! He’s right up there with Joe.
I totally agree! This is fantastic.
I'm 5 months into my weight loss journey, started 310lb down to 230.6lb. Ethan Suplee was a massive inspiration towards that, so although he'll never see it, I'll be eternally grateful for him!
What did you focus on? I'm at 325 and trying to figure out a realistic timeline
@MrChristopho A big help was the wrestler diamond dallas pages yoga program just to get my body moving, then everyday I would watch some sort of weight loss success story. I cut cut my calories to 1000-1200 a day, I would only eat in a 7 hour window as well so I was fasting for 17 hours. And exercising an hour a day, manly walking for the first 3 months. I sounds a lot and it does take dedication but honestly after 2-3 weeks you get in such a routine and you feel the benefits instantly it becomes 2nd nature. If you're just starting out mate good luck. If I can do it anyone can 👍 oh and take photos so you can see your progress, that helped immensely.
Ethan is my inspiration. I’ve been a big dude all my life. I hit 280 pounds last year and decided enough was enough. Now I’ve lost 42 pounds and more is coming off by the day. Best thing I’ve ever done and this man showed me it can be done.
Same. I'm a big boy but I'm sitting at 275 right now and it ain't pretty
When Ethan shared that he didn't want to hold his gfs hand in public out of fear it would somehow tarnish her reputation for being with a big guy, really activated my tears ducts.
Totally. This was a deep look. Being fat involves so much shame... It sucks.
I weigh 345 pounds right now, and I’m 23 years old. This honestly gives me so much motivation. There’s times where I thing about my weight constantly like they both mentioned. And one of the big things I think about the most is the much I weigh now it’s it to late to go back and lose it and this dude just gave me the answer
I hope you're still pushing dude, you don''t know the likers but we all hope the best for you! LFG.
Get at it! Be on it now or you’ll regret when your 27 at 420 lbs… true story bro
You got this !
You can do it bro!
Good lucky buddy .. I can’t imagine how hard it could be I’m in the opposite my whole life I’ve been in sports for 20 years and I can’t gain any weight my whole life I couldn’t get past 120 and people would say maybe your lucky but I look at my self as a bigger person would but as me looking as I feel so gross in my own skin clothes don’t fit and so forth . But good luck
What Tom said at 1:19:30
"I know you're saying you're not special - think you're special, because i don't know anybody like you..."
Ethan's trajectory is truly inspiring and very motivating !
When Ethan explains how he would want to eat in private at the end of the night, it floored me how familiar that felt. But when he made the comment about getting burgers at the 7/11 because somehow it was ok for those clerks to see him that way... Holy shit, that hit home in a big way. I've never said anything like that out loud, and I'm a pretty open book. What a dark and gross thought, but I've had it and I'm glad he shared it. I hate all this body positive stuff going around today. You shouldn't be nasty to people and harass them, everyone knows that. "God grant me the strength to change the things I can and accept what I cannot" I'm not religious but this sentiment is overflowing with truthiness. I'm really happy for Ethan.
Man. It was wild to hear such an articulate guy put words to feelings I’ve had
He dropped out of school at 14 yet speaks more intelligently than most college grads I know.

@@davidlloydmiller agreed
When Tom and Ethan discuss seeing themselves at their heaviest this is exactly how Bert currently feels when he's off camera. I'm glad he in therapy. He would find this episode highly relatable and possibly inspiring.
The real problem is that people around him dont take his alcoholism seriously. They'll just laugh about a guy having multiple drinks before 12 a clock and describing it as "just a drink" it's sad.
@@Plague_Doc22 couldn't agree more man. I've found Bert terribly frustrating over the years struggling to find something positive about him. The only thing I could think of is, "At least Bert doesn't consider himself to being better than anyone." That's kinda admirable but I just wish he had a skill set and didn't get excited about everything like Jimmy Fallon or a little girl.
@@davidlloydmiller Yeah I somewhat agree. I think he's overly childish in the way he's too "hype" for just about anything. His stand up is alright I guess.
I just think it's sad seeing someone be so selfish they rather drink themselfs to an early grave than to give those extra years to his kids.

I remember seeing him for the first time in Remember the Titans. Its beyond startling looking at pictures of him from then and looking at him now. Dude is a soldier. A lot of respect for this man.
He’s definitely got an IRON will!
This was the realest conversation about weight loss ive ever seen. Two guys who have struggled with weight talking about how it actually is. Not how people who have never struggled think it is.
It really takes a guy like Ethan to make people understand just how much food can fuck with you. And how crazy hard it is to change their lifestyle around the way he did.
Agree, I can relate to him! Love seeing he has figured things out!
“Who’s Randy!?!?”
This is Randy

I'm going to be honest. I am 350 pounds and have more health issues than I can count. I swear on my life that I am going to change who I am. Looking at how big he was (200 pounds more than me) why can't I do it. Ethan has opened a chamber in my mind that I never thought would be opened. Mark my words I will be healthy by 2022. It's either I do it now or it will never happen. I have never in my life watched a interview like this with so much attention. This is very inspiring and he will never know how inspiring it is. Thank you Tom for this interview because this is something I am going to use to better myself.
Good on you man. You can do it. One day at a time, it won't happen over night. Just keep coming back to this video when you struggle or plateau. Another recent interview I found inspiring was Theo Von and Chris Nikic. Stay positive, this stranger is routing for you.
Did you accomplish your goals?
18:00 "is this day gonna be contagious"
That is an award-worthy way to describe the situation. I honestly expected Ethan to have a bit of an ego because of this unbelievable accomplishment, yet the man appears entirely humble and now has more wisdom than weight. Very happy for ya Mista Suplee- way to go.

That's only 1800 calories. If you just eat that in a day you will even lose weight if your BMR is the average ~2000. Go for it.

I mean, hes very rich and has a lot of free time..
@@andrewtregoning being poor isn’t an excuse to be fat
Didn’t know TomTalks existed until today.
Tom > Ted.
Thanks for the interview Tom and Ethan. I was 300+ in high school and college (325 max) and decided to lose weight after another friend lost weight. I got down to 185 my senior year of college and maintained that for a few years, however, I had the same feeling that Ethan had. Now I’m too frail. 13 years later and I’m now ~200 and feeling good in my skin. I sometimes have bouts of stress that I don’t look like I should but I have to remind myself that I did something really hard and I’ve maintained it.
I've always been a big fan of Ethan Suplee. This video was incredible and honestly emotional. My older brother passed away in October 2020. He was obese (close to the weight of Ethan when he was at his biggest) and he had mental health problems too (nothing severe just anxiety/depression). But in July I sat with him and we talked about him needed to get healthier. He agreed and I was able to match him with a personal trainer named Big Mike (this dude looks like the hulk). He started training and loved it. He was losing weight and happy and looking good. I knew it was gonna take time but he also had sleep apnea so that got in his way. I miss him so much because he was fighting to get his old life back and he was training HARD. Now, I carry that legacy by eating right, hitting the gym 5-6 times per week for 2 hours, and staying active. This video was tough but I'm glad I watched it through.
So sorry about your brother.
@@therealwilfreddierkes9980 thank you so much man. It has been tough as hell. I miss him every day. But I'm doing what I can to honor his legacy.
I'm impressed by your strength mate. Being able to honour your brother with your own life is peak man 👌
We LOVE you ETHAN. So happy that you will be here for so many roles you/we don’t even know yet. Stick around. You are loved.
It's great to see someone talk so openly about such a transformation and the mental state behind it. Very inspiring to someone who is also very heavy and just starting my lifestyle change. Slow and steady and healthy with little breaks.
So I was 358 in high school and got down to 248 in about 8 months my sophomore to junior year.
Through some battles in life, I have sky rocketed back up and then some to 445 of this year.
In January, I have begun to take back my life.
I am currently 424 and working my back to living my life.
Ethan and John (obese to beast) have been the biggest inspirations to me. I loved
watching them grow as people, both in films and online.
I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the knowledge to do this
I'm a former 3 sport athlete with a health issue that makes losing weight extremely hard....I am now a 600 pound truck driver and this podcast has seriously made me open my eyes and I will now be trying to change jobs so I can get back to living life and cut this weight....thank you from the very bottom of my heart

P.s. I've been trying to get a grip on my eating disorder for about 2 years now- I really really needed this. I developed my eating disorder when I was in the military, and the guys in my shop were poking at me for my weight gain- I went from 120 to 150. Looking back a lot of it must have been muscle because I was at the gym on base almost everyday, but I didn't see it then. I know that men have gone through these things too, but this is the first time I'm hearing men talk about it. Thank you Ethan and Tom.
As an alcoholic, I'm astounded at how many parallels I'm hearing in this talk about weight struggles that I experience with booze. Thanks so much for this.
Maybe Ethan can give Tom some tips on how to exercise without breaking every bone in his body.
Ethan is such a solid dude and I related to his struggle with trying to do insane diets to lose weight right away. When I started losing weight I was just eating a chicken breast a day thinking it was healthy. It’s a hard mindset to grow out of.
seen so many friends fail constantly because of this mindset. tbh the only ones I brought along with my journey, from "thicc" to "being able to see my dick", are the people who committed to intermittent fasting & those who found a time period that worked best for them.
My old roommate who started with me had the biggest transformation when he realized that he doesn't need breakfast & shifted his 8 hour window from noon to 8pm eating 3 small meals throughout that & from 2pm to 10pm on days he planning on drinking.
if you go all "oh I feel like shit in the morning I am not going to eat" until you are insanely irrational and hungry you are just going to MAX on total BS when you finally crack & the cycle continues. If you dont get hungry when you need to eat, using cannabis is your friend (assuming it works for you). thats how I started eating at normal times & not just 2am in excess lol
@@von... could not relate more. The chicken breast a day phase is when I was doing heavy intermittent fasting, which is how I dropped 60 pounds in a few months.
Went ham on cardio, burning 1000 cals a day on that alone, 7 days a week. A lot of people think you can eat anything when intermittent fasting, so they don’t see changes. 3 trips to mickey d’s while IF is not going to give the outcomes they want.
Also, I have been seeing some dumb shit about people saying IF is “an eating disorder”. Like what the fuck is that about???
Ethan would have a mental breakdown if he spent one day with Bort Krishnu
I think most of us would too.

One of the things I noticed was Ethan's amazing ability to listen. It's almost part of the thing that he has made a huge change on. He has stopped his compulsive nature to react. I am a compulsive person and a lot of us that in recovery from food addictions are very compulsive. I now sit and thing about the foods I am eating not just knee jerk reacting to the environment. there are so many trigger factors in anything like this. Amazing episode.

So inspiring listening to two people who have gone through that weight loss and healthy living journey. I'm a naturally skinny person, but it motivates me to keep working out and eating good
It makes me happy that guys are finally starting to talk about how being overweight/obese affects them. You're not alone
I agree, the real truth of obesity needs to be discussed.. It is an addiction, my friend said it best " it's the only addiction that won't get your kids taken away". It is literally waved in your face EVERYWHERE! I loved hearing this! losing weight is the easier part once you get your mind right. Keeping it off and tackling the mental side of food addiction is where the real work begins.
@@mrs.riche3939 yep and your mind totally fucks you up. The more you try to not eat certain things the more you want to eat it. You have to totally change the way you think about food.
@@RolandSpecialSauce agree, I will always have to contend for my health and work on my mindset❤
I really felt everything they discussed, felt very empathetic and personal. We need more conversations about the nuances and untold gray area of food addiction/food compulsion and how overcoming your thoughts and behaviors is a day to day, hour by hour process - much like drugs and alcohol. I hope more healthcare providers, body shamers, and body positivity people can find middle ground after they hear people like Tom and Ethan talk.

I remember one podcast segment where Tom and bert were talking about how delusional they both were for thinking "one day I'll get there" in reference to being in shape and having abs. Ethan is proof that they're both wrong, tom can get there.
You can just see how pure the soul is of Ethan Suplee. He’s had the ultimate glow up and deservedly so. Nice guys don’t always finish last
No, but in the normal sense, nice guys do finish last - I would say. Nice guys wait for their turn, and Ethan did not - he **took** control (after realizing he had to). He is a very compassionate sounding guy for sure.
These Tom talks just keep getting better, happy for Ethan!
