Exactly...theres so many registered doctors and health professionals that give you the worst information available to push some kind of an agenda they have. I don't care if you studied for 8 years! No quick fix people.....get it,got it,good!
Ethan's story has completely changed my life. My story is similar to his except for the acting part. I was over 400 lbs in 8th grade and my max at the beginning of the year is just under 600 lbs at 26. I had accepted that I would be dead by 30 and this video showed up in my feed. I watched it and realized that I wasn't okay with dying by 30. I started losing weight and being outside just for the sake of being outside. Because I was outside so much, I managed to meet a girl who completely changed my life as well. Just like in Ethan's story, she likes to hike and do things that I know I can't do, so I've started to work out and work on getting my body able to do the things she likes. So far in just under 6 months, I'm down 75 lbs. This is my lowest weight I've been at in over 3 years and I have no intention to stop. My next goal is to lose 100 lbs by the end of the year. Thank you Ethan for sharing your story. You have inspired me to change my life in ways that I never thought were possible.
Congrats on the 75! I hope you're still going strong! I just started my own journey in January to lose 65-85. Down 20 just doing the same thing he did. Calculate my TDEE and eat a deficit.
Thanks! I did end up getting my goal! I broke 100lbs with about 2 weeks to go in December. I'm currently sitting at 125 lbs off and I'm trying to get 150 by the end of June (roughly 25 lbs every 3 months). I just got my blood work back and of the dozen or so medical issues I had, I've gotten all but 3 fixed and under control, the most important is I was diabetic, but now, I'm not even in the prediabetic range anymore. Of the 3 issues I have left, they are so close to being normal that at my current rate, within 6 mo they should be normal. This has been/is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but even though I'm only 1/3 of the way there, it's easily the best decision of my life!!
@@SuperSodrak thanks! I am indeed still going strong! You got this! I know it seems daunting, but it is so worth it! Of all the diets I've tried over the years, just staying in a deficit is easily the best one I've tried with the best results. Just stick with it, even when times get tough and you'll pull through!
Good for you. It's all about setting reasonable goals and following through. If you want it bad enough nothing will stop you. Keep up the hard work. It's definitely worth it.
Yeah, I can't see him doing any fat shaming any time soon. Fat people don't need any more shaming, the need inspiration and support, IF they want to change.
This just inspires me so much more... I gave up on myself 18 months ago when I hit 430lbs and my scale maxed out. Something in me snapped after a couple of weeks of considering suicide, and I looked up how to lose weight consistently.. Found Dr Mike and learned about setting a caloric deficit and the rest is history. Today I weighed in at 260 lbs and it's the skinniest I've been since 6th grade, no joke. To anyone out there wondering, you've got this! You can do this, and you will succeed... just keep pushing and never give up!
Awesome bro. I was 310lbs at one point. Went on a high protein, low carb diet and along with walking & weight lifting had slimmed down to 205lbs a year later. It can be done.
But the logos and the app he used and the link to the app. So subtle. I was hoping for a link to the ted talk, but I guess this is about using an app and a gym. But hey, I make films and I don't like working for free either. Gotta tell a storey and gotta get paid.
@@egaal612well not always, but I get you mean. Losing the weight helped to reveal muscles he’d previously put on. But I’m sure a good chunk of that muscle was put on while he was losing weight through body recomposition.
Good luck to you. I've lost 150 lbs and the excess skin is really bringing me down. I work so hard for my body and muscles and I look deformed thanks to the excess skin.
I appreciate him for not becoming jaded, despite having hard times. He speaks with clean, congruent character, without hint of being bitter. Inspiring to see his progress.
I've been seeing a nutritionist for 15 months now and I've lost 140lbs. Its a fucking great feeling and I'm still pushing hard and 1 day in my life i will be a healthy normal looking person.
I just weighed myself last month. I tipped the scales at 193kg (425lbs) at 33. So far I'm down 6kg (13lbs). I have more hard work to go and changes to make... But I'm on the right path and heading in the right direction. This is inspiring to me. If Ethan can do it from where he was, I can too!
Much respect for form over ego. He did perfect push-ups on his knees, and the weights he used on the shoulder exercise (can't think of what it's called) were not heavy - but his form was spot on. What an inspiration!
i watched this same video at the very end of 2019 when i weighed 230 pounds and i said to myself that at the end of the year i was gonna lose as much weight as possible before the year was over and i now currently weigh 132 so thank you to this video and this man for sharing his story and giving another dude enough courage and inspiration to make a change for the better
Hell yeah brother! Great job, that wasn't easy and I'm proud of you. Now that you've come this far, keep going. Stay fit, hit the gym and get ripped, and be the inspiration others need to make their own transformation.
@@1970HondaCL100 will do and since typing that comment I've continued to lose weight again and now i 123 and through this process I've been getting my family in the gym with me and have been helping my friends trying to find something that works for them and stuff like that and im very excited to see myself skinny in a few more months hopefully
This was incredibly well produced and interesting, featuring an actor I have loved since I used to watch My Name Is Earl after school as a kid, thanks to everyone involved!
Dude I've seen every movie that you've been in Remember the Titans American History X even Mallrats you're awesome bro keep doing what you're doing you look great
I can only imagine he's got incredible strength having carried around that weight for so long then dropping the fat and making muscle. Amazing dedication too.
Cool, remember that the weight loss continuum is never linear. How is your lbm %, is it more than at the beginning of your diet protocol? Don't give up !
@@1967davidfitness 106.4 today and counting. Just very slow and steady slight deficit/maintenance while getting into a settling point and then month to two month diet periods in between so my body can get down, but adjust without my big ass having to eat 700 calories to get there. Lighter than ive been as an adult but legs and arms are all bigger on the tape measure than ever. If you're struggling to get started, DO IT! Turned 36 yest and am bigger, stronger, faster than I've ever been even as a former athlete. It's wild yo, and a great gift to you.
@@allebe141 awesome job man! Where were you at your starting point? I'm like 365.. beginning walking and getting meal planning in order. Done it before and lost 75lbs in 5 months but fell off the wagon.im committed now!
@@astrolux76 I started at 400, but just remember the goal isn't perfection where we are, it's increasing your ability to just do what you're supposed to be doing, but if you miss a day screw it. Sunk cost is sunk cost, just gotta nail tomorrow. Motivation is sexy and says all the right things, but will power and discipline is the one you marry. Good luck buddy, getting my life together was the best choice I ever made.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! It hit me hard to the core! I'm 51 300 lbs and I feel horrible all the time! Thank you for your story and giving my motivation to look myself in the eye!
I'm 52 and 300 pound on a 6'7" frame with natural big build but I aim to lose 50 pound . I started weight , cardio and healthy eating 2 months ago and really feel I'm making progress. Hope your doing good mate 😎
Lol you’d be surprised by some SOF guys they aren’t all jacked as hell some guys are dad bods but can still run a 10k and bench press a lot. Hollywood likes to play things up in the movies with how SOF guys look.
@@Mr-my8kx What? His abs must be insane from years of stabilizing over 300 pounds. He's got fat on them but they're still there. And his arms look pretty beefy
So happy for the guy. His character was one of few that left strong impression in me from American History X, but largely because I felt sorry for him and his size. It's awesome to see that this can be dealt with when approached properly.
@@ScottMuzzaMuscles recomposition is to move or change state of a certain kind of stock, whether it be the recomposition of water to ice or fat to muscle, regardless of quantity
This, this right here this is bravery, I was fat as a truck as well once, but I went to the gym and lost lots of weight, now my old school friends don’t even recognise me, it’s story’s like this that should inspire people, not being brave for doing nothing but working hard to improve yourself.
I’m so happy to see his progress!!!!...he’s already looking like something out of a Superhero Movie, keep up the great work and positive outlook on life!!!
The first (shorter version) of this video I saw on TH-cam, was one of my turning points into changing my lifestyle, after being obese since childhood. And now I'm down 50lbs (22kg) in 5 months and hit the gym 3+ times a week (because I like it now) to improve strenght and fitness (the majority of my weight loss has been without workout when gyms were closed) and I haven't been hungry a single day (I make my own plan) 🏋️♀️. Thanks for the inspiration, Ethan 💪🏼 You look like a handsome beast 🏋️♂️
I saw Ethan's story years ago, and now I'm down 120 lbs, and been using the same process. Learning to be ok with the weight not always going down, learning to hold maintince, and focusing on my overall health rather then just a number. I wish more people could see these processes and understand that it isn't some magic bullet.
I am supposed to weigh 185 to be really in "shape". But I like it better at 205. One time in the past I got to 185 and I hated it. With 205 I dont even have a belly so to speak and I feel way better than when I was at 185.
Didn't recognize the name but as soon as he said he was an actor I was like "Is that the guy from My Name is Earl? There's no way" and omg it is. Amazing job, Ethan. You're killing it!
I relate so much to this. Him being made aware of his weight at such a young age. That seems to set the stage for disorders in our relationship to food and body image. His sense of guilt around food hurts to hear because I know what that's like. I'm happy to see stories like his. Really emphasises the emotional aspect of physical health.
He was terrifying in it when he was big? It doesn't matter your size, a pistol in your face is fuckin awful and you only have the option to leave it to that person to make a decision. An ignorant, impulsive and unstable person is the scariest thing known to mankind.
He probably would of got scary was prison scenes. When I would bounce in college and nights were always pretty much easy until guys that look like him walk in. Lol Then my mindset would switch up to , "Houston we have a problem " Only these kind of fellas were always the calmest and understanding of what their presence can do. But he has a presence now, and I hope it gets him great roles he deserves as a great actor.
It’s so crazy hearing him talking about the different stages of dieting he went through before he found what worked. I’ve been dieting for over a year now. I’ve lost 120 pounds all together. It’s just crazy word for word what he says is what I went through even down to him needing goals. That’s something I learned the past year is if I don’t have a goal or something to work for I’m not very happy. Ever since I came to that realization, ever since I came to terms of a lot of my trauma my goal of losing weight has been achieved. Now I’m working on building muscle and toning my body more. Losing weight made me feel like I took control over my life. Always stay humble.
It really is as simple as he said and you probably experienced yourself. Nutritional education based on real science should be taught at school. It's a lack of knowledge about how weight gain and loss really works that has enabled swindlers to exploit that lack of knowledge with fad diets that don't work.
I really like seeing this, havent seen him act in years, love that hes not another "died from heart problems" I hope he comes back to acting maybe a marvel superhero
I have watched this guy since Mallrats. I have always had a soft spot for Ethan Suplee! I am glad he has found a healthy journey that makes him feel happy!
This dude is so inspirational. I was 395 like 2 years ago now I’m 265 and I go to the gym 6 days a week for the last year or so (up from 4). I do weights 4 days a week and cardio the other two and I feel great. I still have 35 lbs to lose but I’m loving my journey so far. I’m 6’2” so I think 230 should look fantastic for me and then it’s time to start going harder on weights.
Extremely inspirational. He's not literally half the weight he was at his heaviest. That's an out of this world level of progress. I'm extremely happy for him.
This is so amazing, and I love how you made lifestyle changes. Also, I'm happy you made that decision to get healthier vs giving in to your circumstance.
Shawn you and your channel are the reason I want to be in SF and I will NOT take anything less. And I’ll die before I quit. I just wanted to say thank you and keep doin what you do, because I know I’m not the only one you inspire
So glad I ran across this video. I grew up watching this guy in all sorts of movies. It’s so freaking awesome to see this good dude getting his health in check. He looks like a brick shot house now!! Congrats and keep up the hard work brother!! So proud
My God Ethan, I know who you are a long time and always liked your films. Well done on everything you accomplished and the mindset you had to work on to get where you are now. Enjoy the fruits of your labour now. Congratulations.
So damn proud of this guy. Every time I come home from work in construction I think that I won't have the energy to work out, but videos like this and heroes like Ethan motivate me to push myself as far as possible.
Good for him. This makes me happy to hear this story, and how honest he was with himself about himself. That was the most inspiring part of hearing this.
Oh man I didn't even recognize him anymore, but man he's been in so much I remember him from Boy Meets World but he's great so nice to see he's doing so well.
I'm so glad I found this channel today. Every video I've watched this evening has been a banger. This one was specifically inspiring and eye opening for me. Thank you for your efforts in putting your content out there for free to educate others.
THis is so heart warming and touching to hear this honesty! THis guy was in so much when I was a teenager, couldn't believe it when I saw the video! He looks like a f**king badass now, I hope to see him in some cool roles, can we have a 2022 update?!
I can’t people his transformation, I’ve seen him in so many movies where he’s huge, and looks really unhealthy. This is a remarkable success story, key note here, he hasn’t changed his diet, he changed his life..Well done mate
First movie I saw this dude in was Evolution back in the day and was like "dang this dude ain't gonna make old bones". Fucking awesome to see him killing it now. Inspirational.
October 5 will be 11 years I dropped 147lb from 289 I hear all the methods he tried and yet his main goal was to be healthy. I made the decision to do bariatric surgery, and I'm so blessed I did. Yet many see it like I did before my decision, you are taking the easiest way out. But in reality it was a risk that gave me my life back. The goal was to be healthy. The hardest part has been making the right choices the passed 10 plus years. In any weight loss, maintenance will always be the decision maker to continue your health on track. I am 46 160lb and I'm more physically active now then in my mid 20's and 30's I love listening to stories that encourage me to continue my goal. 💪 Awesome job to him...
Sadly no, I think there was another video where he was talking about basically being typecast as a big guy and now that he’s in shape and healthy it’s stopped his career and no one wants anything to do with him.
I saw this video about 2 years ago. I was over 400 pounds and in terrible health. It got so bad that id get sore bowling. Seeing this video set me on the path to losing 140 pounds so far. I got a few more pounds to lose but i feel so much better. Thank you for posting
Really? Is being normal considered intelligent? School doesnt make you smarter leaving school at a young age doesn’t automatically mean your stupid. I cant tell if your being serious or condescending.
Louie Lastik in Remember the Titans is one of my all-time favorite movie characters. Thank you for being such a genuine human being, and congrats on your incredible transformation. I'll always look up to you.
Thanks for posting this video! As of today, I'm down 101 lbs and am at the point where I'm healthy enough to start walking and doing light load bearing exercises (was about to get a wheelchair to get around before getting medical help). Videos like this help me get a sense for what is possible and in which directions I should go as I start to increase the difficulty level.
southlondon86 uh... just don’t watch them? You’re complaining because they’re being released and you don’t like them, like superhero themed movies being out there is the very bane of your existence
Sol There’s too much of them and they have pretty much ruined cinema. As Ricky Gervais said “Everyone’s watching Netflix”. Superhero films largely make money from China & India.
Currently battling the similar demons. Im 5’10 125lbs and seriously struggle to gain weight. I despise being this skinny, but am working really hard to start looking healthier
It's going to be a nightmare building all I can say is start and don't start. Also get a panel done. There may be metabolic issues at play, and at that size. I would start with a trainer and meal planning too. You will need a good start to be successful. Regardless best of luck.
There is hope my man. Get your calories in order. Regular meals. Exercise. Start small, be consistent and I promise you the pieces will fall into place from there. All the best.
Great work Ethan!!! As a person who was 235 at my most now 165 and steady. Cheering on your success as well as anyone else thinking about starting this journey. The only thing you may regret is not starting today to build for a better tomorrow. I'm rooting for you all. You Can attain your goals.
How tall are you? I'm trying to lose weight and I'm 235 right now too. I'm only 5'9" and this is the heaviest I've ever been 6 years ago I was at 165-170. I need some help to get off the ground. I'm 38. Any pointers on diet?
@@bens3767 I'm 5'9", my best advice to look into. Try any of these for a week and see if you start seeing a difference. 1st. water, only water nothing else. Pro biotics for stomach bacteria balance. Planking was my workout routine outside of my day job. If you can trim out dairy for a while and drink about half your weight in ounces of water each day. This is what worked for me.
@@rielevilnside 8 appreciate the advice I have tried probiotics in the past but never stuck with them. I know but health is important and I like the planking idea that's a good challenge for the core.
I felt this on so many levels. I watch videos like this in order to keep me motivated. 2019 I was in a bad accident and I had to relearn how to walk, it’s hard for me to lose the weight I’ve gained. I’m limited to what I can do because I still have a fixator on! I’ve been dieting and trying my hardest to lose this weight. I won’t stop till I accomplish my goal! I need my self confidence back. I’ve been disciplined and focused, Self care is what I’m doing, it’s a step into the path of self love.
I love seeing when good people finally connect with the correct experts and the information that equips them to make real permanent changes.
Exactly...theres so many registered doctors and health professionals that give you the worst information available to push some kind of an agenda they have. I don't care if you studied for 8 years! No quick fix people.....get it,got it,good!

@@chrishansen9731 you have seen him in movies and TV shows, you just didn't recognize him :)
I had heard he'd gotten in shape. I was not prepared for this. Good for him. This is awesome
I only knew Ethan from My name is Earl and to be honest, I had to google his name to recognize him. Job well done, thanks for the inspiration.
I remember him from that, & that Evolution movie from like 20 years ago
American history X for me.
what about REMEMBER THE TITANS you silly silly people get a grip. my name is earl wtf are u watching
@@aspero23 my name is Earl was gold.
holy fuck man didn't even recognize him at all. That's insane, good on him
I can only imagine he's got incredible strength having carried around that weight for so long then dropping the fat and making muscle. Amazing dedication too.
I'm so happy for him, he's an excellent actor and he seems to be a nice guy.
People who have suffered or felt self doubt usually are the nice ones!

Please do the gears of war movie you’re perfect for the role of Marcus Phoenix. 🙏🏻
Yeah, I think he'd be better than DB to be honest. They should give him a go.
Hes definitely got the Marcus kind of look, if he could do the voice well it would be cool
more Dom I think
You have heard of Dave Batista ?
Lol, like its his choice.
Loved you on his podcast big dog, just wanted you to know I'm gonna hit 100lbs down this month with a big help coming from your content.
Cool, remember that the weight loss continuum is never linear. How is your lbm %, is it more than at the beginning of your diet protocol? Don't give up !
@@1967davidfitness 106.4 today and counting. Just very slow and steady slight deficit/maintenance while getting into a settling point and then month to two month diet periods in between so my body can get down, but adjust without my big ass having to eat 700 calories to get there. Lighter than ive been as an adult but legs and arms are all bigger on the tape measure than ever. If you're struggling to get started, DO IT! Turned 36 yest and am bigger, stronger, faster than I've ever been even as a former athlete. It's wild yo, and a great gift to you.
@@allebe141 awesome job man! Where were you at your starting point? I'm like 365.. beginning walking and getting meal planning in order. Done it before and lost 75lbs in 5 months but fell off the wagon.im committed now!
@@astrolux76 I started at 400, but just remember the goal isn't perfection where we are, it's increasing your ability to just do what you're supposed to be doing, but if you miss a day screw it. Sunk cost is sunk cost, just gotta nail tomorrow. Motivation is sexy and says all the right things, but will power and discipline is the one you marry. Good luck buddy, getting my life together was the best choice I ever made.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! It hit me hard to the core! I'm 51 300 lbs and I feel horrible all the time! Thank you for your story and giving my motivation to look myself in the eye!
You can do this!
I'm 52 and 300 pound on a 6'7" frame with natural big build but I aim to lose 50 pound .
I started weight , cardio and healthy eating 2 months ago and really feel I'm making progress.
Hope your doing good mate 😎
At 6'5 330 lbs with drinking issues, i definitely feel awful most of the times.
Keep it going! 💪
Dude went from looking like Micheal Moore to looking like a Navy seal.
Lol you’d be surprised by some SOF guys they aren’t all jacked as hell some guys are dad bods but can still run a 10k and bench press a lot. Hollywood likes to play things up in the movies with how SOF guys look.
@@Brandon-mp1kg This guy isn't jacked as hell lol
@@cali9460 hes really not. He doesnt even have abs.
@@Mr-my8kx What? His abs must be insane from years of stabilizing over 300 pounds. He's got fat on them but they're still there. And his arms look pretty beefy
@@Mr-my8kx abs as the metric? Apparently you have jacked and shredded confused lol
How could anybody give this a thumbs down? Absolute haters.
The same assholes that bitched about Adele losing weight. I think both look fucking amazing
greg doucette lmao
That is so true. This man lost 352lb, what's your excuse people.
Yah fat fucks that hate to be shown how lazy they are.
Seriously people stop being this stupid. Thumbs down doesn't mean that you hat what is on the video.
So happy for the guy. His character was one of few that left strong impression in me from American History X, but largely because I felt sorry for him and his size. It's awesome to see that this can be dealt with when approached properly.
i loved American History X
💚🐍Pierre Woodman🐍💚
If they ever make a movie about "Macho Man" Randy Savage i want Ethan to play him.
He’s far too tall for that. Honestly.
He’s the cream of the crop that rises to the top!
Greasemunkee83 so was the guy that played the hobbit.
He could play a Special Forces Operator. That I would like to see
OOOOHHHHH YEEEEAAAAAHH!!!!!!!
Shouldn't call it a 'Weightloss journey', it is a 'Total body recomposition journey'.
Nice!
I get it but recomposition is when you're body only changes within a small percentage.
So it is fat loss journey really.
@@ScottMuzzaMuscles recomposition is to move or change state of a certain kind of stock, whether it be the recomposition of water to ice or fat to muscle, regardless of quantity
Right! But not all people will get it plus misconception
He turned his efforts into a lifestyle...instead of a 'diet'.
Terrific success!
This, this right here this is bravery, I was fat as a truck as well once, but I went to the gym and lost lots of weight, now my old school friends don’t even recognise me, it’s story’s like this that should inspire people, not being brave for doing nothing but working hard to improve yourself.
Imo trucks aren't fat at all. Super massive build road shredders
Sure but if you were as big as a truck probably would not be shredded
I’m so happy to see his progress!!!!...he’s already looking like something out of a Superhero Movie, keep up the great work and positive outlook on life!!!
The first (shorter version) of this video I saw on TH-cam, was one of my turning points into changing my lifestyle, after being obese since childhood. And now I'm down 50lbs (22kg) in 5 months and hit the gym 3+ times a week (because I like it now) to improve strenght and fitness (the majority of my weight loss has been without workout when gyms were closed) and I haven't been hungry a single day (I make my own plan) 🏋️♀️.
Thanks for the inspiration, Ethan 💪🏼 You look like a handsome beast 🏋️♂️
Go get it! You got this!
YEEEEEEESSS! 👏🏻👏🏻
@@omnipresentvideo7686 Cheers, buddy! I'm down 5 more pounds, and have started to gain som muscle 💪🏼 Thanks for the support 🙏
@@louiseharris892 😍❤❤🙏🤩😍
@@jolenethellama Congrats! And what's your eating plan? You dont have to say just wondering if I should change anything that I've been doing.
I saw Ethan's story years ago, and now I'm down 120 lbs, and been using the same process. Learning to be ok with the weight not always going down, learning to hold maintince, and focusing on my overall health rather then just a number. I wish more people could see these processes and understand that it isn't some magic bullet.
AWESOME
He’s still a big guy but now a healthy big guy 👍👍 much respect
@Full Tilt Boogie yes?
He said he actually looked really skinny at 210. It's different for different people. I wonder what his height is
I am supposed to weigh 185 to be really in "shape".
But I like it better at 205. One time in the past I got to 185 and I hated it. With 205 I dont even have a belly so to speak and I feel way better than when I was at 185.
Didn't recognize the name but as soon as he said he was an actor I was like "Is that the guy from My Name is Earl? There's no way" and omg it is. Amazing job, Ethan. You're killing it!
I relate so much to this. Him being made aware of his weight at such a young age. That seems to set the stage for disorders in our relationship to food and body image. His sense of guilt around food hurts to hear because I know what that's like. I'm happy to see stories like his. Really emphasises the emotional aspect of physical health.
Kinda cool looking through the comments seeing so many people show support rather than be trolls. So proud of you man.
If he had looked like this in American History X he would have legit been terrifying.
He was terrifying in it when he was big? It doesn't matter your size, a pistol in your face is fuckin awful and you only have the option to leave it to that person to make a decision. An ignorant, impulsive and unstable person is the scariest thing known to mankind.
He probably would of got scary was prison scenes. When I would bounce in college and nights were always pretty much easy until guys that look like him walk in. Lol
Then my mindset would switch up to , "Houston we have a problem "
Only these kind of fellas were always the calmest and understanding of what their presence can do. But he has a presence now, and I hope it gets him great roles he deserves as a great actor.
He was even bigger in butterfly effect
@@robertfuller6170 sometimes it's the greatest gift to have someone like that around though
It’s so crazy hearing him talking about the different stages of dieting he went through before he found what worked. I’ve been dieting for over a year now. I’ve lost 120 pounds all together. It’s just crazy word for word what he says is what I went through even down to him needing goals. That’s something I learned the past year is if I don’t have a goal or something to work for I’m not very happy. Ever since I came to that realization, ever since I came to terms of a lot of my trauma my goal of losing weight has been achieved. Now I’m working on building muscle and toning my body more. Losing weight made me feel like I took control over my life. Always stay humble.
It really is as simple as he said and you probably experienced yourself. Nutritional education based on real science should be taught at school. It's a lack of knowledge about how weight gain and loss really works that has enabled swindlers to exploit that lack of knowledge with fad diets that don't work.
I really like seeing this, havent seen him act in years, love that hes not another "died from heart problems" I hope he comes back to acting maybe a marvel superhero
Exactly. I could see him playing marvels Hercules, or even a Sabertooth now that Disney has the rights to that character.
@@brennanrodriguez1566 Kraven the Hunter even lol
Check out the TV show "Chance". It was on for 2 seasons in 2017. He was awesome in it.
He was in the Ranch Netflix original
Loved seeing him in wolf of wallstreet
Sounds the same, looks nearly unrecognizable.
@James Town I'm sure that's a possibility. Really sad, if it proves true. He could take on completely different roles now, though.
This is NOT that same kid that played a white supremacist in American history X! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have watched this guy since Mallrats. I have always had a soft spot for Ethan Suplee! I am glad he has found a healthy journey that makes him feel happy!
I'm glad he finally saw the sailboat, and then got healthy.
This is truly inspiring! I remember watching him in many different roles. He’s always been entertaining but truly happy to see him doing so well!

This dude is so inspirational. I was 395 like 2 years ago now I’m 265 and I go to the gym 6 days a week for the last year or so (up from 4). I do weights 4 days a week and cardio the other two and I feel great. I still have 35 lbs to lose but I’m loving my journey so far. I’m 6’2” so I think 230 should look fantastic for me and then it’s time to start going harder on weights.
That is awesome dude! Keep it up
I love Ethan, every role he's ever been in just captivated me. Maybe it's his voice idk but he deserves this. Good for him.
I had heard about his story but had no idea that you were involved. Congratulations to him, you and everyone else who supported him.
Extremely inspirational. He's not literally half the weight he was at his heaviest. That's an out of this world level of progress. I'm extremely happy for him.
I love how this man made a difference in his life and the the journey he took
Love his honesty . Much respect for his hard discipline and focus
7:45 Mike's head shape is absolutely devious.
I love this guy, and his transformation. You can see the kindness in his heart it just bleeds out through his words.
This is so amazing, and I love how you made lifestyle changes. Also, I'm happy you made that decision to get healthier vs giving in to your circumstance.
Hard to believe that guy was only 22 years old when he was in American History X.
Glory glory hallelujah...
This is awesome.

So glad I ran across this video. I grew up watching this guy in all sorts of movies. It’s so freaking awesome to see this good dude getting his health in check. He looks like a brick shot house now!! Congrats and keep up the hard work brother!! So proud
As someone who has weighed 300 pounds, I hear what he's saying and it's a constant reminder to mentally check in with yourself
Ethan, I wish you the absolute best things and moments in your life, please continue doing you like the most.
The info Mike puts out there is insanely amazing. No bs
He is wearing a wedding ring and from not being able to get a girlfriend to being married I am proud of his life journey.
Thats the point lol. He fell in love with a girl that he love and he wanted to make changes. He made it happen
@@Chee.Y4ng For sure. That is what triggered him to finally make it happen for himself. We all have that in us we just need to find it. Good for him.
My God Ethan, I know who you are a long time and always liked your films. Well done on everything you accomplished and the mindset you had to work on to get where you are now.
Enjoy the fruits of your labour now.
Congratulations.
So damn proud of this guy.
Every time I come home from work in construction I think that I won't have the energy to work out, but videos like this and heroes like Ethan motivate me to push myself as far as possible.
Wow, he's massive! I never would have guessed he is the actor from the movie The Titans! Excellent job!!
Someone get this man a role already.🔥🔥
He’s had a good bit deff needs more
Check out the TV show "Chance" from 2017
He's awesome in it.
If u remember WWF wrestling his dad was Vader
Good for him. This makes me happy to hear this story, and how honest he was with himself about himself. That was the most inspiring part of hearing this.
I’m really proud of you Frankie, from a Boy Meets World fan. Inspirational.
Never been so happy to see someone achieve what they truly deserve.
Great video, so happy to see Ethan Suplee on the channel!
“I met a girl” enough said! -Best diet -

Oh man I didn't even recognize him anymore, but man he's been in so much I remember him from Boy Meets World but he's great so nice to see he's doing so well.
I'm so glad I found this channel today.
Every video I've watched this evening has been a banger.
This one was specifically inspiring and eye opening for me.
Thank you for your efforts in putting your content out there for free to educate others.
I showed my husband the photos of Ethan now, and he was impressed. He's definitely come a long way.
Congratulations to a well deserved guy. Keep it up, you’re going to go far.
THis is so heart warming and touching to hear this honesty! THis guy was in so much when I was a teenager, couldn't believe it when I saw the video! He looks like a f**king badass now, I hope to see him in some cool roles, can we have a 2022 update?!
I can’t people his transformation, I’ve seen him in so many movies where he’s huge, and looks really unhealthy. This is a remarkable success story, key note here, he hasn’t changed his diet, he changed his life..Well done mate
First movie I saw this dude in was Evolution back in the day and was like "dang this dude ain't gonna make old bones". Fucking awesome to see him killing it now. Inspirational.
October 5 will be 11 years I dropped 147lb from 289
I hear all the methods he tried and yet his main goal was to be healthy. I made the decision to do bariatric surgery, and I'm so blessed I did. Yet many see it like I did before my decision, you are taking the easiest way out. But in reality it was a risk that gave me my life back. The goal was to be healthy.
The hardest part has been making the right choices the passed 10 plus years. In any weight loss, maintenance will always be the decision maker to continue your health on track.
I am 46 160lb and I'm more physically active now then in my mid 20's and 30's
I love listening to stories that encourage me to continue my goal.
💪 Awesome job to him...
He probably just opened up a whole nother level of his acting career I can see him playing a badass army vet or something after his transformation
Sadly no, I think there was another video where he was talking about basically being typecast as a big guy and now that he’s in shape and healthy it’s stopped his career and no one wants anything to do with him.
He was in this TV show "Chance" in 2017. Midway thru his transformation. He was awesome in it. Check it out.
@@boyntonpost thanks I will
There are many stories of overweight actors not getting anymore roles after getting fit.
@@j.tt.4877 it is sad almost like getting punished for doing the right thing
So happy for this guy. I feel like I’ve been watching Ethan all my life in movies.
I saw this video about 2 years ago. I was over 400 pounds and in terrible health. It got so bad that id get sore bowling. Seeing this video set me on the path to losing 140 pounds so far. I got a few more pounds to lose but i feel so much better.
Thank you for posting
Oh, he was Randy in "My Name is Earl".
Wow, what a change.
He needs to be in some Action movies now.
He could have been in "The Expendables".
Remember the titans and Butterfly Effect
For a guy who left school at 14 he is really articulate and you can also see that he is very intelligent. Bravo!
Really? Is being normal considered intelligent? School doesnt make you smarter leaving school at a young age doesn’t automatically mean your stupid.
I cant tell if your being serious or condescending.
School makes you dumb.
I'm sure he meant he left public school to be home schooled like most actors 🤷🏾♀️
Ethan you are an inspiration to all us big guys that have struggled with our weight . Thank you for sharing your journey. God Bless
Truly amazing, Ethan. Super-stoked for you, and the progress you've made!
Now he's ready for spec ops or war movies, incredible.
Piantissimo That would be awesome.
He looks perfect for an "Expendables" movie :)
Louie Lastik in Remember the Titans is one of my all-time favorite movie characters. Thank you for being such a genuine human being, and congrats on your incredible transformation. I'll always look up to you.
I love these life changes. When people find the warrior within them and rise to become a new far better version of themselves.
Idk why I was thrown off hearing his voice, I didn't expect him to still have a soft voice lol
You have never seen any of his movies or shows? Dude's been around for decades.
A hint that he is not "juicing".
Thanks for posting this video! As of today, I'm down 101 lbs and am at the point where I'm healthy enough to start walking and doing light load bearing exercises (was about to get a wheelchair to get around before getting medical help). Videos like this help me get a sense for what is possible and in which directions I should go as I start to increase the difficulty level.
Whats your progress now?
Get this man into the MCU
He's make a great Hank McCoy or Ben Grimm.
@Gabe Stein you don't get it.
No please no more dumb superhero movies!
southlondon86 uh... just don’t watch them? You’re complaining because they’re being released and you don’t like them, like superhero themed movies being out there is the very bane of your existence
Sol There’s too much of them and they have pretty much ruined cinema. As Ricky Gervais said “Everyone’s watching Netflix”. Superhero films largely make money from China & India.
Currently battling the similar demons. Im 5’10 125lbs and seriously struggle to gain weight. I despise being this skinny, but am working really hard to start looking healthier
start moving the body and carry heavy things while eating as much as you can, they benefit each other and the cycle begins
It's going to be a nightmare building all I can say is start and don't start. Also get a panel done. There may be metabolic issues at play, and at that size. I would start with a trainer and meal planning too. You will need a good start to be successful. Regardless best of luck.
There is hope my man. Get your calories in order. Regular meals. Exercise. Start small, be consistent and I promise you the pieces will fall into place from there.
All the best.
Whey protein shakes.
Great work Ethan!!! As a person who was 235 at my most now 165 and steady. Cheering on your success as well as anyone else thinking about starting this journey. The only thing you may regret is not starting today to build for a better tomorrow. I'm rooting for you all. You Can attain your goals.
How tall are you? I'm trying to lose weight and I'm 235 right now too. I'm only 5'9" and this is the heaviest I've ever been 6 years ago I was at 165-170. I need some help to get off the ground. I'm 38. Any pointers on diet?
@@bens3767 I'm 5'9", my best advice to look into. Try any of these for a week and see if you start seeing a difference. 1st. water, only water nothing else. Pro biotics for stomach bacteria balance. Planking was my workout routine outside of my day job. If you can trim out dairy for a while and drink about half your weight in ounces of water each day. This is what worked for me.
@@rielevilnside 8 appreciate the advice I have tried probiotics in the past but never stuck with them. I know but health is important and I like the planking idea that's a good challenge for the core.
This is so inspirational! Needed this today!
I felt this on so many levels. I watch videos like this in order to keep me motivated. 2019 I was in a bad accident and I had to relearn how to walk, it’s hard for me to lose the weight I’ve gained. I’m limited to what I can do because I still have a fixator on! I’ve been dieting and trying my hardest to lose this weight. I won’t stop till I accomplish my goal! I need my self confidence back. I’ve been disciplined and focused, Self care is what I’m doing, it’s a step into the path of self love.
SUPER inspiring! Love seeing stuff like this. Didnt play the victim or blame society. Took initiative and lost the weight. Congrats buddy!
This is really incredible, I remember seeing this dude on the screen back in the day, what an awesome transformation. Keep kicking ass Ethan!
