This guy is a personal hero to me. A few years ago, I was 617 lbs., basically bedridden, with my doctor telling me, "If you can't start breathing normally, we'll have to put you on a ventilator. If you don't make some spiritual changes in how you're living, I'll be signing you death certificate the next time you get sick." I took it to heart, mostly because I want to see my daughter grow up. I'm still a fat ass, but I've lost over 300 lbs, and still working on myself. I feel like Ralphie May: "Don't cheer for that. You know you're fucked when you lose a whole fat guy and you're still fat as hell." But I'm not going to end up like him. I may never be a good-looking guy again, I may never be as strong as I was in my youth, but damnit, I'm going to live to be an old man because I finally decided to have some fucking self respect. Good luck to everyone on the same journey I'm taking.
@@mermaiddiyartist8119 Thanks, first of all. Mainly, cut out any processed carbs, especially corn syrups and anything beginning with word "enriched." Drink. More. Water. My doctor, who literally saved my life, gave me the "Rule of Two Hands." "You need a handful of protein, and handful of starch, and that's enough food to nourish you all day. Otherwise, go ape shit on fruits and vegetables." Again, he saved my life. I'm far away from perfect, but he helped me un-fuck myself in a big way.
I'm a slim guy, always have been. But I have massive respect for those that are on the heavier side and manage to lose weight if they want to, it isnt easy.
I dont! I'm a slim dude also... but I'm FUGLY!There's no diet for that! Anybody can lose weight and once they do they're usually good looking or at least decent. But ain't no diet for butt-ass-backwoods-bottom-of-the-barrel ugly! 😔
Ethan was one of my big motivators to help me lose the weight. I was 260+lbs for most of my life now sitting just under 200 and I feel like a completely different human being
@@ferndawg91 I started out on my first day cleaning my body out. I fasted for a little over 3 days. Helped reset my eating cycle, and also helped get rid of the bad food I ate before. I’d say start off with a fast you can do and then make sure to get some healthier foods. Remember you may fuck up but don’t let that fuck up throw you back into eating like shit again and also if you can’t workout or lazy to workout just take a walk around the block. Start small or go all out.
@@ferndawg91 my biggest issue was likely stress eating. Similar to Ethan, I would feel down, then gorge on a comfort food until I was super full. But I wasn't necessarily constant eating, just not making proper choices. I started with cutting my portion sizes and healthier options (rice instead of fries etc.) And did home workouts. Now I work into running almost every day and keeping my portions low. I also try intermittent fasting throughout the day and try not to eat right before bed.
@@CheesyCheese420 my issue was drinking excessive amounts of soda and snacking throughout the day and night. I was 285 when I graduated hs in 2016. After 6 years of my weight fluctuating I managed to control it and now I'm around 190.
This dude inspired me to lose weight again. I went from 337 to 240 in 6 months with keto, just before december 2019. Then the quarantine hit and I got back to 300. Saw this man on Tim Pools podcast and it reminded me of how bad it felt to be so far. Been about a month but I'm near 275.
I Love him in Blow!! My favorite movie and actors!!! Congratulations Ethan, if your reading this!! I deal with mental health issues of depression and anxiety, totally understand what your talking about!! Btw, whatever happened to Tuna??!! For real!! Anyone??!!
Man this guy is so much more intelligent than you'd expect, like all of his roles he plays a moderately smart person or an idiot. Great acting I must say. It's great to see the transformation and seeing that he wanted to do it himself. Should be an inspiration to people.
I was 360 lbs I'm down to 182 I learned about low calorie dense foods keeps me full and I dont wanna eat anymore keeps my grehlin hormone at bay, I love weights cause of trauma from my past I feel stronger I'm not bodybuilder material from my genetics but I love it, I love to move now it's a gift
boss french toast, quesadillas using lower calorie stuff, all types of foods I enjoy pretty much just use low calorie stuff I stuff them with veggies to keep me more full, low calorie condiments and syrup, my fav thing I made is my ensalada de manzana which is basically sour cream and condensed milk, but now I use Greek yogurt hershey sugar free and add artificial sweeteners and add any fruit, u gotta enjoy what u eat to maintain it forever
I was told I had a kidney infection, vitals horrible at age 29, couldn't stop drinking after my college party life and if I continued down that path I wouldn't make it til 40. I'm 36, still sober and watching my diet / working out which is a heather addiction 😊 That was my story to make the change, everyone has their own and should be proud of it too. Because sometimes it requires giving up what your addicted to which is nearly impossible in some cases but trust me it's POSSIBLE. I was the type of person who would wake up searching for a beer and if I ran out I'd go to the store, didn't matter what time or the weather. My point is the mind is a powerful thing, gain control of it and don't let bad habits own you.
I love how hard work literally makes you a better person, and it comes across so naturally that this is a good dude. Only the right journey, one of adversity, and making mature decisions can lead you to this point. And it shows. Inspirational af.
I am a 5'10" female. Was 230 pounds, and now 165ish. I definitely relate to seeing yourself as your past self. I battle with that every day. This man has made such an amazing transformation! 👏
I was 175lbs at my physical peak in my mid-20s. I ballooned to 230lbs in my 30s, resting heart rate 70, not extreme obesity but I had the recipe for overweight mediocrity. Got into cycling, and learned diet moderation. When your workout is your hobby, it really helps. The more weight you lose, the faster you get on the bike, the better you look in tight cycling clothes, all good motivation. Now I can climb mountains I never dreamed of and am down to 209lbs. I am dialed in and consistent right now that I'm losing a pound a week, resting heart rate is 58, and gained an extra 2 mph avg over the last two months which is HUGE. Goal is get under 200lbs, over 20 mph avg, and resting HR of 55. It can be done.
@@brandoncollins1225 Thanks for asking. I am 195lbs still committed to riding. I learned to diversify my workouts too. Guys in the group rides recommend core work for maintaining better aero bike posture and to improve endurance so I've taken them up on that. I can say I am in better shape now than when I was in my mid-20s, even if I am heavier than that version of myself. I love carbs, it fuels what I am trying to do. There are plenty of things left to work on and improve upon. I will be racing this year with my first gran fondo scheduled for May.
I was 180 last year now I’m almost 300 pounds the pandemic fucked me up this is really inspiring ima get off my lazy fat ass and start working out again
I gained too much weight also. I quit drinking & have been exercising. Gotta big beer gut. Also just got a new Weber BBQ so my diet is not perfect. It's hard to lose weight & get in shape but I feel a hell of a a lot better just making a few minor changes. We'll get there. Now let's have a V8!
I really love listening to Ethan Suplee tell his story. In July 2019 i was 350 pounds now in May 2021 I'm about 195 pounds. I'm definitely a lot happier and more grateful to be alive now. I hope anyone who wants to make a change to their lives, is able to achieve that goal.
As soon as I got the notification on Spotify, I just had to listen to it asap. Lost 70 pounds in the past year and went from the high end of obese to nearly normal weight on the BMI scale. Ethan is a great motivator and fuel for the journey
Moderation is great if you can manage it. I find I do a lot better on a stricter keto diet than incorporating a bit of carbohydrates because once I have that trigger it sets me off
@@Ellotrades True investing in crypto should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Thank you Ethan! For your work on and off the screen! In 2018 I stepped on a scale at work for the first time in years. I was shocked when it said 375lbs. I was thinking I was overestimating at 310-320. I had the same convo with myself, "how will I feel like at 40, 50, will I make it to 60, 70?". I'm now at 250lb (6'2"). My Goal Weight is 225, but as I continue lifting I'm finding this may be more my natural weight. From a 46" waist and 3x, to a 36" waist and an XL, Button-ups in I'm a Large. Just had my yearly physical and bloodwork Doc- "I wish all my patients had these numbers. These are the convos I want to have". Proud of it, and will never let anyone tell me I cant do something ever again, Including Myself!
Joe should really get Dr. Mike Israetel on the show. Guy is a BJJ purple belt and has a ton of free sports science information on his youtube channel. Guy is a wealth of knowledge that deserves to be pushing more into the public and would fit well on JRE. Could easily see a three hour conversation on BJJ training programming and nutrition for spots performance all mixed it with weird Russian humor and free market rants.
I'm 6'4" and I weigh like 275lbs.. I carry it decently well but i need to lose 50 lbs. I look best around 225lbs. Im 34 now, it's so much more difficult to lose the extra lbs than it was in my 20s.. i'm an addict, my weight has fluctuated up and down my entire life. Im worried i destroyed my metabolism
@@straightouttacomicbook yeah, it drives me crazy when i hear an overweight person say something like, "Well it's not my fault, I just have a very slow metabolism" or "it's all because of my thyroid issue".. 9 times out of 10 theyre either straight up lying or they just decided one day to self diagnose themself w/out actually going to the doctor. Bottom line is diet / lower daily caloric intake and exercise are the two surefire solutions. People just hate to admit to themselves that theyre eating too much shit.
It's amazing when you think about how much he had to eat for years to maintain the weight he did and how he completely flipped around the way he thought about food, and life, and wow this man truly is an inspiration.
This conversation can be applied to substance abuse. Specifically when Ethan is referring to what he thought his life would be 20 years ago vs how today it has surpassed anything he could have imagined. That is extremely relatable for anyone who is in recovery.
Being overweight is basically the same as being on drugs. It’s all about trying to fill a hole in your heart. Some people try to fill it with drugs some try to fill it with food some try to fill it by shopping but it’s all the same. I was 355 got down to 208 in my late 20s. By mid 30s I went back up to 325. Now I’m 41 and back down to 225. It was a lot easier to do when I was 27 but I’m getting it done
@@turdferguson3297 There are perhaps some parallels in the psychology behind both food and drug addiction, but I can assure you they are not "basically the same thing."
@@skullcrackers187 to a point, a lot of very overweight people have at best insulin resistance but probably type 2 diabetes. Which makes it very difficult to burn fat when you are running on glucose and insulin. Not to mention your body adjusts it’s metabolism to what you drop your daily calories too, and it can do it permanently if you eat 1000 calories a day for example, as it thinks you only have access to that amount of food so it’s a survival mechanism. If you fast, and pretty much everyone has more than enough extra body fat to fast, it switches to using ketones instead of insulin, and you have an abundance of them so it can actually improve metabolism. There’s a reason properly overweight people always put the weight back on when they think it’s JUST calories in vs calories out
I have been fit most of life because I have been active and not because I eat well. But these past three years I have been less active and noticing my dad bod more and feeling sluggish. I actually started getting healthier and practicing moderations for the same reasons as Ethan. A family of your own will change your whole perspective on life and what it means to you. It is just amazing how the timing of this video and my recent health decision lined up. This is just proof the universe will deliver if you are intentional about what you want.
He had a supporting role in a TV show called Chance a few years back. He was awesome - he really had the presence and physicality of someone who can really handle themselves.
Huge fan of Ethan. Thanks to him and others, I have lost 56 lb.'s since January 13th. I am working on getting myself down to 280~, currently 389. Getting there and nothing is stopping me.
I hate to correct, but: Little Kid: Oh look, it's a Schooner. Ethan: Haha, you dumb bastard. That's not a Schooner, it's a sailboat. Little girl: A Schooner is a sailboat! I only correct because when he calls the kid a dumb bastard the first time I saw Mallrats, I just about pissed my pants.
I went plant based due to crippling diverticulitis and all the weight I've struggled with since I was a kid just melted off. Feel like a different person.
Thanks Joe for clarifying that not all diets work the same for everyone. I’m a person who likes fasting. Not only does it help me loose weight but helps me with all other sorts of things. I definitely don’t recommend fasting for everyone but it works for me.
It's a good point he makes about the minutiae. Because he's right, if you're massively overweight then it doesn't really matter if you go vegan, or keto, or whatever. There are healthy people that do all those things. The important thing is to eat less of the bad stuff and move more. If you're overweight and inactive, any changes will make a difference.
As a former big guy who dropped 60 pounds at age 34 by eating healthy and exercising regularly...anyone who says fat is healthy is lying to others, and anyone who says they feel more beautiful as a plus-size person is lying to himself.
Started an intermittent fast in late February. Down 25 pounds. I only eat noon-8 pm and eliminated fried food. It’s effective and sustainable, best decision I’ve ever made
Wait, is he saying I don't need to eat ribeyes for breakfast lunch and dinner?? I can have some carbs and gluten in moderation without my toes falling off??
@@rogerwilco1777 If you were ever pre-diabetic then I would wager that your insulin spikes will cause you to get flustered after even moderate carbs, therefore your productivity will go down. When you lose productivity, it eats into the time you have to reduce BMI with workouts. Also tires your body compared to simply metabolising protein. The glycoproteins in your tendons replenish themsleves more often when you taken in sugars, too. So any muscle tears and compound work will always rejuvinate overnight in a much cleaner way if your body is not creating extra glycoproteins in the joints. Eat the best diet you can reasonably afford, my bro.
Ethan suplee is huge the scope of his acting is huge from my name is earl too American history X too so many other roles that are so different from each other
Honestly, along with Mike isratael, I highly recommend watching Greg Doucette, tells it like it is, and keeps it simple. CICO+building muscle+low calorie dense food=success
As a personal trainer for 20 years. I have been telling my clients for all these years, there is no evil food, only evil amounts of food. Everything in moderation. I also would not work with you if "weight" was their goal. Being healthy and having a lifestyle and habits is your goal, see me. When you make that your goal, the weight takes care of itself.
As a dude that went from 400, down to the ideal weight of 220 (I'm 6'4" and broad so that's pretty perfect weight) but then had two deaths and a cheating gal send me into a depressive state resulting in me hitting 300 again.... This mans interview on the podcast was poking at my soul And... not that you asked, but I'm currently working out and eating right, trying to keep myself from suicide, and as close to being on a positive track as I have been in 2 years
I'm lifting weights and doing planks! Getting back on my workout routine. I have a history with bad neglected health in childhood and was always very skinny and weak, chronic fatigue on top of it. Even being much better years later it has always been very slow for me to build muscle anywhere near the average man. If I can get to 30% the strength of an average healthy man by next year it will be much stronger than I am now and was when my health was bad. It feels great and I can be MY BEST. That's what is most satisfying. Being capable to take on life with the best body I can have, without concern for comparison to other people. I can see my pain tolerance has been much higher and I am more at peace with life than those who had it easy, that seem to get attached to perfection or appearance.
One of my favourite guests for a while. We see so many academics arguing their chosen diet is superior to all others, without ever having applied it to themselves. But this man is living proof of the advice he is offering.
Relatable I was a 250 pounder last year, pasty and pudgy and lazy, past my prime. Fast forward to today - 190lbs, lean, yoked and stoked. Diet: more protein, less overall calories Exercise: gym 3-4 times a week Supplements: daily multivitamin, glucosamine, apple cider vinegar, bcaa
I got inspired because I could not climb up a small hiking hill with my nephew....I still have problems with yoyoing my diet but ever since then I realized how important health is.
He was one of my inspirations to lose weight. Since December 2019 I have lost 147lbs. 8 oz lean protein a day and all the non starch vegetables I care to eat and walk 5 miles a day. I've got 30 lbs to goal weight.
I’m huge and fat and feeling shitty. Day 1 for me boys. Pray for me
Helll yeah bro you got this. Don’t cut your calories hella hard and you’ll be fine. Check out Greg Doucettes channel
I lost alot by playing mental game's like pretending i was in a stranded island. I only ate bananas and oranges for couple weeks.

For anyone on the same journey as Ethan, no matter where you are, you’ve got this. Just keep moving forward 💪🏼
Ghrelin is the "hunger hormone" he was referring to. Just an FYI for those who are interested.
The part about moderation is spot on.
Moderation is great if you can manage it. I find I do a lot better on a stricter keto diet than incorporating a bit of carbohydrates because once I have that trigger it sets me off
thats what I tell women about my penis but they laugh becuase I have no choice but moderation
@@918HUMAN sounds like you aren't spot on
@@anonony9081 Carbs are not bad. Calories in, calories out. That being said, if it works for you, that's great.
Keto works for me couse you can't say to alcoholic: " Just be moderate dude."
Ethan was 550 pounds and now he looks like Ngannou's next opponent.
Good job.
Moderation! Our entire society has tried to destroy moderation in almost every aspect.
The secret of your future is hidden in your day routine . Successful people do daily what the unsuccessful people do occasionally.
Apparently my view on the solution is to venture into trading cryptocurrency
@@Ellotrades
True investing in crypto should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
@Mack Jason
That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Fred Meyer
he's obviously the best I invested 2000USD with him and I have made a profit of 9101USD
His success stories are everywhere 😱
Thank you Ethan! For your work on and off the screen! In 2018 I stepped on a scale at work for the first time in years. I was shocked when it said 375lbs. I was thinking I was overestimating at 310-320. I had the same convo with myself, "how will I feel like at 40, 50, will I make it to 60, 70?". I'm now at 250lb (6'2"). My Goal Weight is 225, but as I continue lifting I'm finding this may be more my natural weight. From a 46" waist and 3x, to a 36" waist and an XL, Button-ups in I'm a Large. Just had my yearly physical and bloodwork Doc- "I wish all my patients had these numbers. These are the convos I want to have". Proud of it, and will never let anyone tell me I cant do something ever again, Including Myself!
Joe should really get Dr. Mike Israetel on the show. Guy is a BJJ purple belt and has a ton of free sports science information on his youtube channel.
Guy is a wealth of knowledge that deserves to be pushing more into the public and would fit well on JRE. Could easily see a three hour conversation on BJJ training programming and nutrition for spots performance all mixed it with weird Russian humor and free market rants.
Mike Israetel is a connoisseur of bodybuilding, nutrition and sport science. I would love to have him on the podcast!
Is that you, Mike?
Absolutely. Mark and the Renaissance Periodization crew are an amazing source of information!
Been fat my whole life. Just turned 25 yesterday, I wanna change thank you.
You got this man
I'm 6'4" and I weigh like 275lbs.. I carry it decently well but i need to lose 50 lbs. I look best around 225lbs. Im 34 now, it's so much more difficult to lose the extra lbs than it was in my 20s.. i'm an addict, my weight has fluctuated up and down my entire life. Im worried i destroyed my metabolism
@@comradesentournjr3696 I feel that, about my metabolism. I think we got this man!
@@straightouttacomicbook yeah, it drives me crazy when i hear an overweight person say something like, "Well it's not my fault, I just have a very slow metabolism" or "it's all because of my thyroid issue".. 9 times out of 10 theyre either straight up lying or they just decided one day to self diagnose themself w/out actually going to the doctor. Bottom line is diet / lower daily caloric intake and exercise are the two surefire solutions. People just hate to admit to themselves that theyre eating too much shit.
@@comradesentournjr3696 facts 💯
It's amazing when you think about how much he had to eat for years to maintain the weight he did and how he completely flipped around the way he thought about food, and life, and wow this man truly is an inspiration.
This might just be the episode that I download the Spotify app for! 💪🏻🤙🏻
This conversation can be applied to substance abuse. Specifically when Ethan is referring to what he thought his life would be 20 years ago vs how today it has surpassed anything he could have imagined. That is extremely relatable for anyone who is in recovery.
Being overweight is basically the same as being on drugs. It’s all about trying to fill a hole in your heart. Some people try to fill it with drugs some try to fill it with food some try to fill it by shopping but it’s all the same. I was 355 got down to 208 in my late 20s. By mid 30s I went back up to 325. Now I’m 41 and back down to 225. It was a lot easier to do when I was 27 but I’m getting it done
@@turdferguson3297 There are perhaps some parallels in the psychology behind both food and drug addiction, but I can assure you they are not "basically the same thing."
Respect to Ethan. Dude put in the work and deserves all the accolades.
This dude is so damn inspiring. Makes me want to throw up my lunch, get back on the eliptical, and follow up with the bench. 💪
Huh bullemia isn't the answer bro
Man the soft bully from boy meets world. So many child memories thanks to this guy
1. Limit sugar, gluten and processed food
2. Don’t overeat
3. Exercise regularly
Better sit on couch, stuff face with pizza, watch CNN, and wait for other people to "save you". I'm being ironic of course.
Calories in calories out. Eat in a deficit and you lose weight period
@@skullcrackers187 to a point, a lot of very overweight people have at best insulin resistance but probably type 2 diabetes. Which makes it very difficult to burn fat when you are running on glucose and insulin. Not to mention your body adjusts it’s metabolism to what you drop your daily calories too, and it can do it permanently if you eat 1000 calories a day for example, as it thinks you only have access to that amount of food so it’s a survival mechanism. If you fast, and pretty much everyone has more than enough extra body fat to fast, it switches to using ketones instead of insulin, and you have an abundance of them so it can actually improve metabolism. There’s a reason properly overweight people always put the weight back on when they think it’s JUST calories in vs calories out

"I can't tell anyone to lose weight, and I don't really want to."
Good on you, Ethan. Although I bet that went in Joe's ear and out the other side 😂
If anyone doesn't want to do vigorous exercise, go for a walk everyday. I'm down 25 lb!
@@Hazeleyonidas I think you meant "underrated." I agree though.
How long and how many KM do you walk on average?
@@Hazeleyonidas no worries thanks for sharing, I’m going to try and match your numbers and check the results!
@@TheJoelExperience 30 to 45 min, it's about 6000 steps. Not that much actually
This guy is a great actor. Glad he is healthy
I have been fit most of life because I have been active and not because I eat well. But these past three years I have been less active and noticing my dad bod more and feeling sluggish. I actually started getting healthier and practicing moderations for the same reasons as Ethan. A family of your own will change your whole perspective on life and what it means to you. It is just amazing how the timing of this video and my recent health decision lined up. This is just proof the universe will deliver if you are intentional about what you want.
Got on a scale at the doctors office in 2012 and the scale said 512lbs😳😳😳..... since then have gotten down to 392 and counting... feel much better!!!!
That's honestly amazing!
So in 9 years you’ve only lost 120 lbs? Bit slow
"My eyes have seen the glory of the dieting of food!" (punching the steering wheel) LOL!
The diet marches on
So very happy he mentioned Dr. Mike! What an inspiration!
It’s crazy how Ethan and Joe actually sound alike. They have similar voices.
He had a supporting role in a TV show called Chance a few years back. He was awesome - he really had the presence and physicality of someone who can really handle themselves.
Great show,bring it back!!!
@@dingosmith9932 I'm glad someone else thinks so. Show got last to obscurity. It's really a shame.
I love that Ethan offers his condolences those living in Namasaki.
Huge fan of Ethan. Thanks to him and others, I have lost 56 lb.'s since January 13th.
I am working on getting myself down to 280~, currently 389. Getting there and nothing is stopping me.
I immediately recognized his voice from when he was my name is earl. I love you ethan
Investing is how you create Wealth, I started investing from pandemic crash👍
Crypto is the new gold..
I wanted to trade Crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price..
That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Daniel James.
Yeah, My first investment with Mr Daniel James earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering..
Daniel James has been managing my trade for months and I keep making profits every week, I made $9,130 last week ..
Need to have More Plates More Dates and Coach Greg on regarding this subject.
Dam nothing but love and respect for this man, always liked him in all he did
Okay, okay..Ive had enough. Im going to Spotify to watch the rest of this
Littl kid: Oh look! A Sailboat!
Ethan: You know what??? That Easter Bunny over there....that's just a guy in a suit!!!
I hate to correct, but:
Little Kid: Oh look, it's a Schooner.
Ethan: Haha, you dumb bastard. That's not a Schooner, it's a sailboat.
Little girl: A Schooner is a sailboat!
I only correct because when he calls the kid a dumb bastard the first time I saw Mallrats, I just about pissed my pants.

I went plant based due to crippling diverticulitis and all the weight I've struggled with since I was a kid just melted off. Feel like a different person.
Its my first time seeing the new studio setup.. wow.. looks great 👍
The Salmon , Protein shake,
,Spinach ,Egg plant diet has been my menu for absolute Jackness .
This guy gets it calories in calories out! Just like Coach Greg says💪🏻💪🏻🤙🏻
Ethan is such a cool guy.... so glad he's doing great
Thanks Joe for clarifying that not all diets work the same for everyone.
I’m a person who likes fasting. Not only does it help me loose weight but helps me with all other sorts of things. I definitely don’t recommend fasting for everyone but it works for me.

It's a good point he makes about the minutiae. Because he's right, if you're massively overweight then it doesn't really matter if you go vegan, or keto, or whatever. There are healthy people that do all those things. The important thing is to eat less of the bad stuff and move more. If you're overweight and inactive, any changes will make a difference.
I love this guy. “Remember the Titans” was the first time I ever saw him on film. Incredible story.
I wonder if he finally saw the sailboat.
Respect for Ethan for losing all the weight.
As a former big guy who dropped 60 pounds at age 34 by eating healthy and exercising regularly...anyone who says fat is healthy is lying to others, and anyone who says they feel more beautiful as a plus-size person is lying to himself.
It's not easy to find the show.
THANKS JRE
I'm rewatching my name is earl for the 100th time. We need a reboot with the current Ethan!
Was hoping for some Scientology talk. Must’ve been a no-no question
Someone hire this well established actor, with the great new look. Who ISN'T a fan of this guy?
Joe please make your version of the mirror workout please!!!!
Started an intermittent fast in late February. Down 25 pounds. I only eat noon-8 pm and eliminated fried food. It’s effective and sustainable, best decision I’ve ever made
This guy is the most reasonable person joe has had on about dieting.
Wait, is he saying I don't need to eat ribeyes for breakfast lunch and dinner?? I can have some carbs and gluten in moderation without my toes falling off??
@@rogerwilco1777 If you were ever pre-diabetic then I would wager that your insulin spikes will cause you to get flustered after even moderate carbs, therefore your productivity will go down.
When you lose productivity, it eats into the time you have to reduce BMI with workouts. Also tires your body compared to simply metabolising protein.
The glycoproteins in your tendons replenish themsleves more often when you taken in sugars, too. So any muscle tears and compound work will always rejuvinate overnight in a much cleaner way if your body is not creating extra glycoproteins in the joints.
Eat the best diet you can reasonably afford, my bro.
I hate when people promote diets. One diet that's good for someone is not always good for another and could be harmful.
Mall rats - American history X - butterfly effect- my name is Earl... guy is pretty versatile
Ethan suplee is huge the scope of his acting is huge from my name is earl too American history X too so many other roles that are so different from each other
Joe Rogan needs to get Mike Israetel
I always thought this guy was a great character actor. I was surprised by how many films he'd pop up in just like Hoffman.
Honestly, along with Mike isratael, I highly recommend watching Greg Doucette, tells it like it is, and keeps it simple. CICO+building muscle+low calorie dense food=success
As a personal trainer for 20 years. I have been telling my clients for all these years, there is no evil food, only evil amounts of food. Everything in moderation. I also would not work with you if "weight" was their goal. Being healthy and having a lifestyle and habits is your goal, see me. When you make that your goal, the weight takes care of itself.
I was thinking how to recover from an eating disorder, then I get this. Thanks FBI
Me too babe ♥️ quar has made it more difficult, but we can recover by slowly learning and trying to love ourselves

As a dude that went from 400, down to the ideal weight of 220 (I'm 6'4" and broad so that's pretty perfect weight) but then had two deaths and a cheating gal send me into a depressive state resulting in me hitting 300 again.... This mans interview on the podcast was poking at my soul
And... not that you asked, but I'm currently working out and eating right, trying to keep myself from suicide, and as close to being on a positive track as I have been in 2 years
I'm lifting weights and doing planks! Getting back on my workout routine.
I have a history with bad neglected health in childhood and was always very skinny and weak, chronic fatigue on top of it. Even being much better years later it has always been very slow for me to build muscle anywhere near the average man. If I can get to 30% the strength of an average healthy man by next year it will be much stronger than I am now and was when my health was bad. It feels great and I can be MY BEST. That's what is most satisfying. Being capable to take on life with the best body I can have, without concern for comparison to other people. I can see my pain tolerance has been much higher and I am more at peace with life than those who had it easy, that seem to get attached to perfection or appearance.
One of my favourite guests for a while. We see so many academics arguing their chosen diet is superior to all others, without ever having applied it to themselves. But this man is living proof of the advice he is offering.
I celebrate not being obese as well! 🍔🥱🤮🌭🥱🤮🥩🥱🤮
Body positivity has been hi jacked as an excuse for sloth and gluttony.
Lol
Go check out Mike Israetel over at Renaissance Periodization for the best diet and training advice! I'm not affiliated, just a huge fan!
Boy meets world 🌎!! I love the out come, good for ya buddy
100% did not realize this was Randy until half way through the video. Good job man.
Relatable
I was a 250 pounder last year, pasty and pudgy and lazy, past my prime. Fast forward to today - 190lbs, lean, yoked and stoked.
Diet: more protein, less overall calories
Exercise: gym 3-4 times a week
Supplements: daily multivitamin, glucosamine, apple cider vinegar, bcaa
I got inspired because I could not climb up a small hiking hill with my nephew....I still have problems with yoyoing my diet but ever since then I realized how important health is.
He was one of my inspirations to lose weight. Since December 2019 I have lost 147lbs. 8 oz lean protein a day and all the non starch vegetables I care to eat and walk 5 miles a day. I've got 30 lbs to goal weight.
Respect to this guy, massive inspiration 👏
Love the neon sign!!
