True! Way better to have good diet and great work! Tbh we just gotta get creative with our recipes. And unhealthy cravings can be 100% curbed by just eating something healthy. Feeling full kicks the craving. Also....wish me luck lmao
Yes, started my journey 14 months ago. No fast food, no fried food, no grains/carbs, average 1800 Cals/day and walking 15k steps and calisthenics. Down 90 lbs and to 15% bf at 51 years old
It’s hard to cut out carbs for me I start feeling sick but I been doing 10k steps a day and eating twice a day morning and then dinner. And maybe a Greek yogurt at night.
Its so refreshing to hear a truly comfortable and easy going conversation and Kevin James is basically affected by the same voices in his head that we do. I like this because its so relatable
Carnivore literally saved my life, 14 months ago I was 715 lbs. I was stuck in a recliner for over 2 years and I had congestive heart failure. I was on oxygen 24-7 and I was suicidally depressed and had crippling anxiety. I have tried everything to lose weight and keep it off and nothing worked. I was 600lbs when I was 14 years old. I was helplessly addicted to soda and carbs. I'm down to 478lbs now and off all medications. Off the oxygen and completely have my mobility back. I can drive again. The best part is I have zero food addiction anymore! I am completely free for the first time in my life and I'm completely free from depression and anxiety! It is truly a mericle!
Best interview Rogan has had in a year or so. Chilled, funny, normal and easy going. No ranting and raving no repeating stories it just seemed like a good conversation. I liked King of queens and Kevin James in general but he seems like a good dude.
I don't know about most people but I lost respect for Kevin years ago after watching his Netflix comedy. It seemed all he did was down and make fun of people during the whole comedy that wasn't even funny. Then afterwards I hear about him being a real true jerk if you was to meet him, go figure. It makes sense, I mean Adam Sandler got James started and everyone knows what would happen if Sandler was to let loose on you verbally lol. Only thing he ever really did good and funny was king of queens, and that's cause Doug Heffernan was a complete narcissistic idiot, that only did and got what he wanted on the show. His movies now these days I will not watch and even give him a chance cause he's always the same HE'S JUST KEVIN JAMES. Rich or celebrity or not he's just in my opinion one of the worst actors. Heck I'd almost classify him in the same as Corey Feldman, the little dude(what you talkin bout willis). I used to be a huge fan but something turned with him, possibly he's just not that funny and more of a complete smart ass
His struggle is why I became a health psychologist. It’s more than diet and exercise; sometimes maintaining the healthy lifestyle requires some inward focus. I love Kevin and I hope he is able to reach his goals. Also, shoutout to these comments! I love seeing people taking care of themselves and just feeling better 🫶
The relationship with food runs deep and is also constantly changing. For someone who doesn't, at least somewhat, commit to understanding that relationship, it is very difficult to overcome bad eating habits. We have been eating since birth...with reward, comfort, safety, family, work, romance, friendship, luxury, kindness, nostalgia, etc..all attached to food. To suddenly decide to redefine or make some seismic shift in what that means to us is almost always a recipe for failure. Even before we get into physically related issues (gut biome, physical addictions, dopamine, etc) or perhaps cultural or even economic issues, it seems those emotional aspects have to be under control. Wad that all up into an aging ball either being pushed up or rolling down the hill and it's overwhelming for many people. AND on a much simpler level, pizza and coca cola is just so fu**in' good!
@@dr.scanlan6112I had exactly this conversation with my husband earlier today - before I saw this video. Our brains have been conditioned to fire certain ways in regards to food. Every time we lie and tell ourselves we’ll do better tomorrow, we’re training our brain to believe that lie and we go on and on and on and as we age, it gets harder to get back on the path to better health.
It's about pleasure. Just like porn or smoking weed. My grandparents were overeaters, my dad and now me. Off weed, coffee, sugar and eating mostly meat, eggs, leeks, sweet potatoes, seaweed, mushrooms, coconut oil, ghee and good salt.
@@BT-dl8kq Thats great you made the change. One thing people don't realize is that if you stop eating garbage all the time, those cravings start to fade. People need to give themselves a chance. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and your body will reward you.
75hard. I’m on day 67. I feel amazing & the shape I’m in is just a great side effect. the mental toughness I’ve developed is worth it’s weight in gold.
Good segment. I quit sodas on Jan 15. No fast food since December. Eating less food and higher quality food. Walking (brisk) 3 to 3.5 miles per day. Down 13 lbs. Snoring and heartburn gone. Sleeping better….need less sleep now. Mind is sharper. The benefits of a good diet and exercise is very real.
I've been averaging 1.5-2 lbs a week with 16/8 intermittent fasting. Just ease into it so it's not a giant shock. Start with 12/12 for a week then 14/10 for a week.
Dude, that is absolutely amazing!!! And some people would say you are lying or taking drugs to lose that much weight. When you can lose that much weight just by stopping unhealthy habits and shedding TONS of needlessly gained weight. You lose more weight the more you have.
Keep at it! Stay away from the quick fix, be mindful and prepare healthy snacks for yourself. Your mind and body are your temple, you can give offerings any time...
It could be other way as well. Eating carbs gives a dopamine high, then blood glucose spikes, causing an insulin spike, then sugar crash, then feel miserable again until next carb intake. It's a downward spiraling vicious cycle. Carbs can cause depression. If you go pure carnivore, you feel naturally high all the time. And then weight starts to come off. Next thing you know, you are active again getting exercise endorphins.
Best of luck in your health journey Kevin. I'm on a journey myself. Carnivore diet, no alcohol, fermented foods, all in hopes of avoiding hip surgery. Dr. O'Mara was a recent guest on my interview, and he explained the great benefits of this diet and sprinting. We should have you on sometime detailing updates of your journey! All the best!
@@thisguy7031 Kevin talks about his health routine to include workouts. For me, I was an amateur fighter for 20+ years...hence my injuries. Changing my diet has been the only thing that's impacted me positively.
@@UnhumanNewmanI challenge you to not eat for 3-4 days and you have nothing in your stomach but around the 3rd day you poop out a dark sticky looking substance that is all the gunk in your gut, once you see that and realize it can’t be anything else since you haven’t eaten it will change your mind
Geez man my heart goes out to you Kevin because I know exactly how you feel. Tried all the diets and every single one of them works….while you’re on it but the second you’re off the diet the weight comes right back and more. I got in to water fasting on my 40th birthday, lost 99 lbs in 4 months, didn’t go straight through without eating but did a bunch of 4-7 day fasts and as long as you’re replacing electrolytes then it’s pretty safe. But then went through a separation and moved out and became depressed again and my comfort is food so I gained about 80 of those pounds back and it is so crushing psychologically to go through that. I’m back in a better state of mind and I’m making progress again but the fear of weight gain never goes away. I look forward to seeing your doc and best of luck to you.
Joe your still the coolest, most diplomatic, informed, patient educator on many,many ideas,projects,influencing young and old,I'm following for years, not implementing many of your philosophies, but I'm a 56 years old opiate addict from the UK with major moods and mindset have done some small scale bar work just starting with the bars themselfs balancing them like posts on the floor at first swing from side to side to try and concentrate my mind on rythim and balances then small weight lifts that get the emotional,aggressive fighting process,thanks for positive influence and life aferming skills,long live and prosper my rogan🙏
I do fasting 4 times a week, 18-24 hours, and on the days i have eaten, i make sure i eat healthy food and not take too much sugar. It has helped me stay focused for the past 18 months. It has been consistent. I lost over 40 pounds, but i gained 20 pounds from weight training consistently for a year
I remember some of his old stand-up, talking about eating a cheeseburger and it like being shot with a tranquilizer dart. Or being sweaty when the doorbell rings, answering the door and they’re like what have you been doing man jumping rope in the attic? And he’s like no, I was just peeling an orange. comedy gold!
Balance is key. I did Keto and carnivore, it worked but I got to about 8-9 months and I was getting meat sweats all day. The more extreme my losses, the more extreme my gains when it comes to weights. I am currently on a good path for the last year I have been gluten free. I still eat a balanced diet and I still weight train and do cardio. I don’t over do either one of those and I don’t overeat. Gluten free takes away the easy things you can grab and eat, and you can still have everything as long as it’s gluten free. I’m down 55 pounds from 278 to 233. My goal is 210. The last of the weight is always the hardest to shed. Good luck everyone. Don’t believe anything that is too good to be true or is a shortcut. Change your diet and your lifestyle and you will succeed.
Yeah i guess everyone is different but i could never just eat meat. I already don't feel right if I eat too much meat in a couple day period. Balance is the key to most things in life and health, i don't see why diet would be any different.
Losing weight and gaining weight is dangerous. Those ups and downs are hard on your organs, especially your heart. Trying to maintain a consistency, is the key.
A few months ago I weighed 380, now I weight about 320. I didn't diet that hard, I just improved my diet overall and tried to keep the calories reasonable. I had been walking quite a bit since the beginning of 2020 but that didn't seem to affect weight much but it did improve my health overall. Initially I couldn't walk 100 yards without needing to take a break due to back pain and needing to catch my breath. Every week I walked a little farther every day, now I can go as far as 3 1/2 miles, however I keep it to 2 1/2 miles or less, more than that wipes out my back, knees and feet for the rest of the day. I didn't really start to lose weight though until I started lifting weights. I don't lift that much either, just three times/week, circuit training with 6 exercises @15 reps each and 3 circuits but it's made the difference. I've stalled though so I need to do better with my diet, do some intermittent fasting as well. I really believe the key to keeping gains is to make it a lifestyle, something you will be doing your whole life, not just something you do to reach some short term goal and then return to normal.
Keep it up! Remember you can treat yourself with tasty food if you limit the amount and within your calories. Enjoy exercising and get into nature if you can
I've been at my goal weight for several months now by having a healthy diet, but man, I know the struggle. I appreciate the honesty of KJ talking about this. Anyone who has dealt with weight issues knows it ain't easy.
wrong way of looking at it. A diet is something you go on for a short time in order to pick up the old lifestile. Thats why it never works. sure you lose weight on a diet. But then you put it all back later when its done. What you need is a lifestyle change, because that will last forever. Once you get that into your head, it all becomes easy.
That’s why people will never look at food addiction in the same way as others, especially (and understandably) people who have never had any issue with food or weight. You don’t have to smoke anything, consume any alcohol or recreational drug ever…but you do have to eat something
What Joe says about food being the only addiction where you have to continue to indulge while trying to break the addiction, spot on. I realized that 25 years ago.
@@patrickolivier1 While that's true, I think his point was that you can only fast for so long. Sooner or later you have to start eating again, whereas, nobody needs crack or meth.
That’s an excuse fat people use 🤷♂️ Sorry to be so harsh . Half the “food” we buy and eat today , isn’t even real food . Cut out the junk food and replace it with actual food , and you’re halfway there . Heavy-Set people make too many excuses
A recent health scare got me on a routine. I used to be just like Kevin. It's hard to break out of that mind set. When I got sick due to kidney and gallstone problems it woke me up. All from bad dieting and barely exercising. Then I developed dysphagia and it made me really take my health seriously. I guess with the right motivation, you can get on the right track again. Mine was staying alive. It's a scary thing when you're losing a ton of weight and can't eat properly. Before that I was on the heavy side for most of my life and that came with joint pain, but this is something else. Going on 31 I am now just finding out how to balance everything. Diet, excercise. Work and life balance. Sure it gets mundane, but I'm definitely on the way to being the healthiest I've ever been. Just takes time and discipline.
I really felt this one. It’s so hard to find the motivation to improve your health sometimes. It’s like you know it’s the best way to live, but for some reason you avoid it.
This man's willpower is superhuman. It's remarkable. 41 days? I attempted a 5 day water fast and on day 3, I started vomiting the water and bile. I felt so ill. I just slept all day and had zero energy. I quit after day 3.
3 days by itself takes preparation and technique. The nice thing is a 36 hour fast feels easy by comparison. 2 x 36hr fasts weekly will have anyone shredding body without any special techniques or life changing willpower.
A home gym never worked for me. I always found an excuse not to do anything, but when I go out to a gym, I work out because I'm there to work out, that's the reason for being there. It also helps to have a gym buddy to help push each other! 😎
@imageword5576 me too, I like to control the environment and lift barefoot. I don't mind going to the gym every once in a while but there's hassles sometimes.
Never buy new fitness equipment because in February you can buy stuff that's been used once or twice by people that had new year's resolutions that didn't pan out, for half price!
I definitely identify with Kevin James. I never got THAT big but I was a sugar addict and one day someone sent me a picture of myself and I literally was shocked and barely recognized myself. Food and sugar addiction is legit man. Not as immediately destructive as drugs but definitely will get you there. I started intermittent fasting and lost 40 pounds in a few months. This helped me make more conscious decisions and start to change my life style. My legs are destroyed from the army and three double leg surgeries so, more than a simple walk or short hike with no elevation isn’t really in the cards for me. Just have to change the lifestyle and make focusing on what you eat and when you eat your new lifestyle. It sucks a bit but I want to be there for my kids when I’m older. If I can do it, anyone can. Just gotta take it one day at a time.
@@deeznuts3145me either. I think rich actors in Hollywood also have access to drugs that will turn your appetite off and such. I think he left some key details out of the 40 day fast but I get it
One of my favorite all around exercises is cutting, splitting, and chording wood. You have to pay attention, use almost all of your muscles and you are making fuel, and a sense of accomplishment!
After 40 this truth about bad food becomes even more obvious. At 46.5 yrs and women’s hormones taking a nose dive, I really started to see and feel the damage. And I’ve been an athlete all my life. MMA, BJJ, triathlons, etc. You can’t outrun improper eating. Sugar, carbs, and your DNA all the core variables most of us still don’t even comprehend.. my youthful days of fast metabolism are over. Food I once was taught was bad is good and good food is now bad.
I’ve struggled with my weight since I was a kid, and all the byproducts that come with that. I’m 25 now and in the worst shape of my life, but hearing Kev talking about the SAME struggles I have and everything with the mindset of changing your life- I believe the lightbulb finally went off in my head and I am now committed to turning my life around. If I ever feel weak about it all, I’ll come back to this clip. Thank You Guys, God Bless You. 🥹
I think Kevin has ADHD. I do, and this is me exactly. It’s so HARD to find motivation on your own, but when you do, you’re capable of extreme focus and obsession.
There is a difference between a cheat day and going for broke eating every last thing at a Chinese buffet. You can enjoy some treats without destroying yourself
I think some people can't though. The self control goes out the window, it's a frenzy. My brother had to quit all sugar because he couldn't do it in moderation.
Tbh I have a bit of an all or nothing personality so if I start snacking on let's just say going 1k calories over for the day when i've been in check fora week or two it can so easily turn into a couple thousand more if you're used to/can eat a lot and the thing you're cheating with is high in calories.
Yep.... Just implement a High Carb day. Average adult male can store 1100 carbs ez without getting fat. No fat on that day low protein and High carbs! It will speed up your metabolism like crazy!. Next day go back to regular diet example 1 gram per lb of protein and say 200 carbs 30 grams of fat. You will get lean as hell!
@@RyneLandersright. I am someone who can’t just have one little snack. 1 nutty bar turns into 2 real quick and then a banana and some Oreos…just beat to abstain from it all together most days.
That dude Doug used to be a package delivery guy and he delivered some packages to my neighborhood in Queens NY. Cool to see he is doing well these days.
I'm 19 and I'm struggling with it myself. I'm actually in really good shape relative to most people my age. But I know what healthy humans are and they're not 240 at 5'9 no matter how much I can bench or squat. For me it boils down to addictive personality. My entire family history has drug or alcohol problems. I get going and then when life starts to weigh down and I lose the rewards I seek it in other ways mostly soda or food. I've cried over it before. I'm not sure how to permanently get it but it's important that we never give up. That's what matters, fighting for life
I feel you man, I’ve experienced the same cycles in my life. Yo-yo my weight drastically. The only thing that had a lasting impact on my discipline is being in a relationship with Jesus, it truly changes you from the inside out. God bless brother.
I find, that when I am in Ketosis, I feel the very best. The first 1-2 weeks is difficult because the graving to addictive carbs is strong. But then suddenly all graving is gone and the feeling of being free to the urge to eat something unhealthy is so great! If you have never tried it, you should. Dr. Georgia Ede Book: Change your diet, change your mind, is great for inspiration and of course she is also in RUclips.
I'm glad to hear you speak to the addictive properties of it all, because once you said your weight & height, it was clear to me what was the problem. You're just going to HAVE to do the "mental light switch" system! YOU are going to have to flip the switch in your mind that makes you perceive it the way you do! ~The Will to be healthier has to be STRONGER and completely outweigh the drive to eat those certain types of foods!!~ You HAVE to hate it; without hating yourself for partaking in it. Have a clear mental focus on what that kind of Lifestyle looks like, and CHOOSE IT!!! Have nothing but the interest to stay with it, even if there's moments of slipping. You just need to make sure the "slip" is just a slip, and NOT a landslide! You should also look in to the benefits of detoxing with certain herbal teas. Google "natural herbal teas for detoxing and weight loss". ⚠️⚠️⚠️If you take prescription drugs, then I would STRONGLY lean toward caution with including such medicinals in your diet(if you have a doctor, always talk to your physician first! As the herbal meds are not for everyone)...but if you are not taking any Pharmaceuticals AND you do not have any severe pre-existing health conditions (AND remember that with ANY herbal medicinal that you research and have interest in using, make sure to RESEARCH and UNDERSTAND its side effects and the type of people with ailments it might specifically negatively effect...and then go from there)⚠️⚠️⚠️ ...but if you do not have those issues, you could have some great success with herbal medicinals. I personally lost a lot of weight using them; along with fasting and proper exercise; and the benefit they mostly gave was making it much easier to keep that weight off. I think for you 90% of your battle is going to be mental, but with a proper strong internal Will & understanding of how these chemical elements that are regularly put in our food make it that much more of a challenge for anyone; let alone someone with genetical chemical dependencies. I think that's more than half the battle for you. If you can wrap your mind around that and stay focused to these understandings & goals; you'll have the type of success that you want in your health! Good luck with things!!
Kevin James is one cool guy. Anyone who can talk about very personal ups and downs in public and keep his sense of humour is definitely on the right track. Very inspiring story.
Regardless of what shape Kevin is in, he's one of the most athletic fat guys alive.

And some people would say you are lying or taking drugs to lose that much weight. When you can lose that much weight just by stopping unhealthy habits and shedding TONS of needlessly gained weight. You lose more weight the more you have.
I haven't had any in about a year.
Keep at it! Stay away from the quick fix, be mindful and prepare healthy snacks for yourself. Your mind and body are your temple, you can give offerings any time...
Can you see your wêiner again?
sir it isn't the fast foods fault but congrats man good for you!
man this is going to help me so much this podcast just boosted my confidence thanks guys.......
King of queens was my comfort show. I’ve been waiting for this for years!

Too much of the "nagging wife"/"dumb husband" shtick. Gets old after awhile.
I still watch re runs daily ❤
Great timing. This is just what I needed to hear right now.
Thank you Kevin for your honest down to earth relatable sharing on this
That pause before going “I can do it in a month” 😂😂 that’s how you know he is serious! Kevin James is a treasure. Loved this interview

I was waiting a long time for Kevin being on JRE . 💯🙌 Great one.
Kevin's tranparency,honesty and humility is refreshing.
I’m convinced depression is the main reason why people are unable to find strength to keep in shape
Yeah, seems to be the leading reason. Depression is the reason we all don’t live up to our own standards, let alone society’s.
It could be other way as well. Eating carbs gives a dopamine high, then blood glucose spikes, causing an insulin spike, then sugar crash, then feel miserable again until next carb intake. It's a downward spiraling vicious cycle. Carbs can cause depression. If you go pure carnivore, you feel naturally high all the time. And then weight starts to come off. Next thing you know, you are active again getting exercise endorphins.
It always amazes me how we are all so similar. The same mental conflicts.
Very honest stream of thought from Kevin James. Powerful.
The opposite of Bert Kreischer:
honest, actually funny, and actually trying
Oh dang just heard him say he can lose 50lbs in a month and now I think he’s got a lil something in common with Bert
he did it in the past and its definitely possible with fasting@@CantTellYou
He’s right about not comparing yourself to others. I’m now setting goals to better my health and sticking to it.
Best of luck in your health journey Kevin. I'm on a journey myself. Carnivore diet, no alcohol, fermented foods, all in hopes of avoiding hip surgery. Dr. O'Mara was a recent guest on my interview, and he explained the great benefits of this diet and sprinting. We should have you on sometime detailing updates of your journey! All the best!
Workout maybe?
@@thisguy7031 Kevin talks about his health routine to include workouts. For me, I was an amateur fighter for 20+ years...hence my injuries. Changing my diet has been the only thing that's impacted me positively.
@@thisguy7031I'm sure he never thought of that 😒
No one is gonna go listen to your podcast dude. Nice ad.
@@DeputyBurbank ah bummer.
Fasting is WAY underrated.
It’s also pretty overrated too

@@UnhumanNewmanNot really…
@@UnhumanNewmanhelps lower chances of cancer too. A study looking at countries that fast a lot “like Muslim nations” have lower rates of cancer
@@UnhumanNewmanI challenge you to not eat for 3-4 days and you have nothing in your stomach but around the 3rd day you poop out a dark sticky looking substance that is all the gunk in your gut, once you see that and realize it can’t be anything else since you haven’t eaten it will change your mind

Love the honesty
Geez man my heart goes out to you Kevin because I know exactly how you feel. Tried all the diets and every single one of them works….while you’re on it but the second you’re off the diet the weight comes right back and more. I got in to water fasting on my 40th birthday, lost 99 lbs in 4 months, didn’t go straight through without eating but did a bunch of 4-7 day fasts and as long as you’re replacing electrolytes then it’s pretty safe. But then went through a separation and moved out and became depressed again and my comfort is food so I gained about 80 of those pounds back and it is so crushing psychologically to go through that. I’m back in a better state of mind and I’m making progress again but the fear of weight gain never goes away. I look forward to seeing your doc and best of luck to you.
I just turned 40 & am very interested in fasting, but not sure how to go about it
Any tips ?
Joe your still the coolest, most diplomatic, informed, patient educator on many,many ideas,projects,influencing young and old,I'm following for years, not implementing many of your philosophies, but I'm a 56 years old opiate addict from the UK with major moods and mindset have done some small scale bar work just starting with the bars themselfs balancing them like posts on the floor at first swing from side to side to try and concentrate my mind on rythim and balances then small weight lifts that get the emotional,aggressive fighting process,thanks for positive influence and life aferming skills,long live and prosper my rogan🙏
I do fasting 4 times a week, 18-24 hours, and on the days i have eaten, i make sure i eat healthy food and not take too much sugar. It has helped me stay focused for the past 18 months. It has been consistent. I lost over 40 pounds, but i gained 20 pounds from weight training consistently for a year
Thank you for sharing! Great Stuff!
I was over 600lbs and I do 1 cheat day a week and I’m over 300 down, just don’t make your cheat day like a mad man 💯
I remember some of his old stand-up, talking about eating a cheeseburger and it like being shot with a tranquilizer dart. Or being sweaty when the doorbell rings, answering the door and they’re like what have you been doing man jumping rope in the attic? And he’s like no, I was just peeling an orange. comedy gold!
Golden
I really appreciated Kevin doesn't work blue to be funny, shows real comedic skill
Here we go^
That was Sweat the Small Stuff Comedy Central special. I can recite more of it word for word it is so funny.
This is so relatable. I feel like he’s speaking my thoughts
Balance is key. I did Keto and carnivore, it worked but I got to about 8-9 months and I was getting meat sweats all day. The more extreme my losses, the more extreme my gains when it comes to weights. I am currently on a good path for the last year I have been gluten free. I still eat a balanced diet and I still weight train and do cardio. I don’t over do either one of those and I don’t overeat. Gluten free takes away the easy things you can grab and eat, and you can still have everything as long as it’s gluten free. I’m down 55 pounds from 278 to 233. My goal is 210. The last of the weight is always the hardest to shed. Good luck everyone. Don’t believe anything that is too good to be true or is a shortcut. Change your diet and your lifestyle and you will succeed.
Yeah i guess everyone is different but i could never just eat meat. I already don't feel right if I eat too much meat in a couple day period. Balance is the key to most things in life and health, i don't see why diet would be any different.
Gotta chew your food bro
Best ep... Love it!
Omg-I love Kevin ! Watch his reruns daily
Great video! Love Kevin & Joe!
Joe* and Kevin
I love when Joe talks workouts and diet, that’s what made me follow him.
Losing weight and gaining weight is dangerous. Those ups and downs are hard on your organs, especially your heart. Trying to maintain a consistency, is the key.
I needed this today!
Nice!! Been waiting to see Kevin on.
Yes Kevin, absolutely love it!! 💯percent spot on!!💪🏾🔥🙌🏾👏🏾🖐🏾
King of Queens is my favorite comedy sitcom ever. Kevin and Jerry Stiller were freaking hilarious together.

A few months ago I weighed 380, now I weight about 320. I didn't diet that hard, I just improved my diet overall and tried to keep the calories reasonable. I had been walking quite a bit since the beginning of 2020 but that didn't seem to affect weight much but it did improve my health overall. Initially I couldn't walk 100 yards without needing to take a break due to back pain and needing to catch my breath. Every week I walked a little farther every day, now I can go as far as 3 1/2 miles, however I keep it to 2 1/2 miles or less, more than that wipes out my back, knees and feet for the rest of the day. I didn't really start to lose weight though until I started lifting weights. I don't lift that much either, just three times/week, circuit training with 6 exercises @15 reps each and 3 circuits but it's made the difference. I've stalled though so I need to do better with my diet, do some intermittent fasting as well. I really believe the key to keeping gains is to make it a lifestyle, something you will be doing your whole life, not just something you do to reach some short term goal and then return to normal.
Heavy bag, bike ride (if possible) and diet. Stay strong.
Keep it up! Remember you can treat yourself with tasty food if you limit the amount and within your calories. Enjoy exercising and get into nature if you can
Kevin James "Sweat the Small Stuff" standup special is so amazing and it was clean too. Most underrated standup in my opinion
I've been at my goal weight for several months now by having a healthy diet, but man, I know the struggle. I appreciate the honesty of KJ talking about this. Anyone who has dealt with weight issues knows it ain't easy.
Dieting is the hardest part about getting in shape
Eating good food is life, it shouldn't be a temporary diet
@@RealMTBAddict If the diet fix is temporary than so is the lost weight.
wrong way of looking at it.
A diet is something you go on for a short time in order to pick up the old lifestile.
Thats why it never works.
sure you lose weight on a diet. But then you put it all back later when its done.
What you need is a lifestyle change, because that will last forever.
Once you get that into your head, it all becomes easy.
Gaining weight is such an obstacle for me. And its literally the only missing component coz I don't wanna be a ripped skeleton
Just eat less
That’s why people will never look at food addiction in the same way as others, especially (and understandably) people who have never had any issue with food or weight. You don’t have to smoke anything, consume any alcohol or recreational drug ever…but you do have to eat something
facts
Love the fact that he's talking about health and fitness while smoking a cigar. 😂
I started intermittent fasting in April 2023...I am down to 265lbs in march 2024 from 424lbs in April.....and feel so amazing....80lbs togo
What Joe says about food being the only addiction where you have to continue to indulge while trying to break the addiction, spot on. I realized that 25 years ago.
But that is mostly because food today is crap and full of chemicals that make you crave more.
@@patrickolivier1 While that's true, I think his point was that you can only fast for so long. Sooner or later you have to start eating again, whereas, nobody needs crack or meth.
That’s an excuse fat people use 🤷♂️
Sorry to be so harsh .
Half the “food” we buy and eat today , isn’t even real food .
Cut out the junk food and replace it with actual food , and you’re halfway there .
Heavy-Set people make too many excuses
Love Kevin! It's always tomorrow for me, or I'll start next week. He said it; we all know what to do, it's just hard when there's so much around.
A recent health scare got me on a routine. I used to be just like Kevin. It's hard to break out of that mind set. When I got sick due to kidney and gallstone problems it woke me up. All from bad dieting and barely exercising. Then I developed dysphagia and it made me really take my health seriously. I guess with the right motivation, you can get on the right track again. Mine was staying alive. It's a scary thing when you're losing a ton of weight and can't eat properly. Before that I was on the heavy side for most of my life and that came with joint pain, but this is something else. Going on 31 I am now just finding out how to balance everything. Diet, excercise. Work and life balance. Sure it gets mundane, but I'm definitely on the way to being the healthiest I've ever been. Just takes time and discipline.
Not sure why. But this is one of my favorite clips ever of JR, and that’s saying something.
VR fit boxing got me back to daily hard workouts and loving every minute of it.
Awesome to see Kevin James. I actually just watched "Here comes the Boom" last night out of the blue...after several years. Love this guy.
Huge fan of Kevin and his athletic and comedian skills. He's a top 5 for me, for sure.
I really felt this one. It’s so hard to find the motivation to improve your health sometimes. It’s like you know it’s the best way to live, but for some reason you avoid it.
Kevin James and Joe Rogan can be the same person. Great duo.
Kevin doesn’t need to be so self-conscious. We all love him. My mother was just talking about him the other day.❤❤
Me and my best friend were just talking about how handsome he still is the other day 🥰
This man's willpower is superhuman. It's remarkable. 41 days? I attempted a 5 day water fast and on day 3, I started vomiting the water and bile. I felt so ill. I just slept all day and had zero energy. I quit after day 3.
3 days by itself takes preparation and technique. The nice thing is a 36 hour fast feels easy by comparison. 2 x 36hr fasts weekly will have anyone shredding body without any special techniques or life changing willpower.
Did you take electrolytes?
It gets easier if u want to try again.
Look up “snake juice” if you want a homemade electrolyte recipe.
You didn’t make it through the carb withdrawal. Once you are fat adapted fasting is easy
That’s discipline! I’d like to know if Kevin was exercising regularly during the fast. Been doing 24 hour fasting while exercising daily.
A home gym never worked for me. I always found an excuse not to do anything, but when I go out to a gym, I work out because I'm there to work out, that's the reason for being there. It also helps to have a gym buddy to help push each other! 😎
I'm the opposite, I like to work out at home by myself, I'm a weirdo loner, don't want any gym buddies lol
@@imageword5576So am I, but you can't beat a workout at a real gym.
@@imageword5576I’m the same. Another weirdo loner here.
@imageword5576 me too, I like to control the environment and lift barefoot. I don't mind going to the gym every once in a while but there's hassles sometimes.
@@dylanstandingalone that's great. The key is to what works for YOU!
Never buy new fitness equipment because in February you can buy stuff that's been used once or twice by people that had new year's resolutions that didn't pan out, for half price!

I definitely identify with Kevin James. I never got THAT big but I was a sugar addict and one day someone sent me a picture of myself and I literally was shocked and barely recognized myself. Food and sugar addiction is legit man. Not as immediately destructive as drugs but definitely will get you there. I started intermittent fasting and lost 40 pounds in a few months. This helped me make more conscious decisions and start to change my life style. My legs are destroyed from the army and three double leg surgeries so, more than a simple walk or short hike with no elevation isn’t really in the cards for me. Just have to change the lifestyle and make focusing on what you eat and when you eat your new lifestyle. It sucks a bit but I want to be there for my kids when I’m older. If I can do it, anyone can. Just gotta take it one day at a time.
I feel Kevin in this conversation!
Mad respect to you Kevin. Four days is the most I’ve ever been able to go in a fast. 41 days is legendary…
I don’t believe him.
@@deeznuts3145if it’s because you think it’s not possible, it absolutely is! And even more so the more extra body fat you have
Right? Especially someone who loves a good meal like him…I just can’t see it
People projecting their own mental weakness by doubting his statement is sad
@@deeznuts3145me either. I think rich actors in Hollywood also have access to drugs that will turn your appetite off and such. I think he left some key details out of the 40 day fast but I get it
Would love to see Kevin James work with DDP! He has the right mindset to accomplish his goals
I hope this comment gets more likes. It's a great idea
One of my favorite all around exercises is cutting, splitting, and chording wood. You have to pay attention, use almost all of your muscles and you are making fuel, and a sense of accomplishment!
oh that's what i needed to hear--its an addiction but you still have to do it
After 40 this truth about bad food becomes even more obvious. At 46.5 yrs and women’s hormones taking a nose dive, I really started to see and feel the damage. And I’ve been an athlete all my life. MMA, BJJ, triathlons, etc. You can’t outrun improper eating. Sugar, carbs, and your DNA all the core variables most of us still don’t even comprehend.. my youthful days of fast metabolism are over. Food I once was taught was bad is good and good food is now bad.
@@missioncodezVery interesting. Thanks.
I love his honesty throughout the whole interview!!
I’ve struggled with my weight since I was a kid, and all the byproducts that come with that. I’m 25 now and in the worst shape of my life, but hearing Kev talking about the SAME struggles I have and everything with the mindset of changing your life- I believe the lightbulb finally went off in my head and I am now committed to turning my life around. If I ever feel weak about it all, I’ll come back to this clip.
Thank You Guys, God Bless You. 🥹
You can do this, I have faith in you, keep your eye on the prize, GOD Bless
I think Kevin has ADHD. I do, and this is me exactly. It’s so HARD to find motivation on your own, but when you do, you’re capable of extreme focus and obsession.
Yes to this 👏
Always loved Kevin James, he's so real and down to earth. Along with Joe he's one the people I'd love to sit down and have a beer with.
Kevin James is a good man. Very nice clip from the show!
About time Joe! I love Kevin James. I seen every King of Queens episode atleast 10 times 😂
He's not a nice guy. Although Jesus did say to love the sinner.
@@MickeyD2012 How do you know?
Kevin James and I are kindred spirits
When I watch King Of Queens; it really makes me miss how simple things used to be. We had good shows on the TV back in the day.
There is a difference between a cheat day and going for broke eating every last thing at a Chinese buffet. You can enjoy some treats without destroying yourself
I think some people can't though. The self control goes out the window, it's a frenzy. My brother had to quit all sugar because he couldn't do it in moderation.
Tbh I have a bit of an all or nothing personality so if I start snacking on let's just say going 1k calories over for the day when i've been in check fora week or two it can so easily turn into a couple thousand more if you're used to/can eat a lot and the thing you're cheating with is high in calories.
Yep.... Just implement a High Carb day. Average adult male can store 1100 carbs ez without getting fat. No fat on that day low protein and High carbs! It will speed up your metabolism like crazy!. Next day go back to regular diet example 1 gram per lb of protein and say 200 carbs 30 grams of fat. You will get lean as hell!
The key is to eat until your hunger goes away, but most people eat until they're stuffed. I can eat a medium pizza, but I eat 2-3 pieces.
@@RyneLandersright. I am someone who can’t just have one little snack. 1 nutty bar turns into 2 real quick and then a banana and some Oreos…just beat to abstain from it all together most days.
That dude Doug used to be a package delivery guy and he delivered some packages to my neighborhood in Queens NY.
Cool to see he is doing well these days.
He has low key one of the best sitcoms ever that cast was amazing and hilarious
Good advice Kevin, a little bit more each day is really all it takes to go from 0 to hero.
I'm 19 and I'm struggling with it myself. I'm actually in really good shape relative to most people my age. But I know what healthy humans are and they're not 240 at 5'9 no matter how much I can bench or squat. For me it boils down to addictive personality. My entire family history has drug or alcohol problems. I get going and then when life starts to weigh down and I lose the rewards I seek it in other ways mostly soda or food. I've cried over it before. I'm not sure how to permanently get it but it's important that we never give up. That's what matters, fighting for life
I feel you man, I’ve experienced the same cycles in my life. Yo-yo my weight drastically. The only thing that had a lasting impact on my discipline is being in a relationship with Jesus, it truly changes you from the inside out. God bless brother.
SaltGod, read a book called Bet on You by Laban Ditchburn (that me btw), I wrote my book exactly for you!
I find, that when I am in Ketosis, I feel the very best. The first 1-2 weeks is difficult because the graving to addictive carbs is strong. But then suddenly all graving is gone and the feeling of being free to the urge to eat something unhealthy is so great! If you have never tried it, you should. Dr. Georgia Ede Book: Change your diet, change your mind, is great for inspiration and of course she is also in RUclips.
@@palden4579Nothing to do with carbs. You just have to exercise.
I'm glad to hear you speak to the addictive properties of it all, because once you said your weight & height, it was clear to me what was the problem.
You're just going to HAVE to do the "mental light switch" system! YOU are going to have to flip the switch in your mind that makes you perceive it the way you do!
~The Will to be healthier has to be STRONGER and completely outweigh the drive to eat those certain types of foods!!~
You HAVE to hate it; without hating yourself for partaking in it. Have a clear mental focus on what that kind of Lifestyle looks like, and CHOOSE IT!!! Have nothing but the interest to stay with it, even if there's moments of slipping. You just need to make sure the "slip" is just a slip, and NOT a landslide!
You should also look in to the benefits of detoxing with certain herbal teas. Google "natural herbal teas for detoxing and weight loss".
⚠️⚠️⚠️If you take prescription drugs, then I would STRONGLY lean toward caution with including such medicinals in your diet(if you have a doctor, always talk to your physician first! As the herbal meds are not for everyone)...but if you are not taking any Pharmaceuticals AND you do not have any severe pre-existing health conditions (AND remember that with ANY herbal medicinal that you research and have interest in using, make sure to RESEARCH and UNDERSTAND its side effects and the type of people with ailments it might specifically negatively effect...and then go from there)⚠️⚠️⚠️
...but if you do not have those issues, you could have some great success with herbal medicinals. I personally lost a lot of weight using them; along with fasting and proper exercise; and the benefit they mostly gave was making it much easier to keep that weight off.
I think for you 90% of your battle is going to be mental, but with a proper strong internal Will & understanding of how these chemical elements that are regularly put in our food make it that much more of a challenge for anyone; let alone someone with genetical chemical dependencies. I think that's more than half the battle for you. If you can wrap your mind around that and stay focused to these understandings & goals; you'll have the type of success that you want in your health!
Good luck with things!!
Kevin!! Finally! Kevin James is cool lol loved King Of Queens
Can definitely relate to this
Kevin James is one cool guy. Anyone who can talk about very personal ups and downs in public and keep his sense of humour is definitely on the right track. Very inspiring story.
