From someone who is a Qualified Personal Trainer (Me) and been following DDE for best part of a Decade (maybe more) what Damon is saying abot the food and fitness it's 100% spot on. Unfortonately society is been conditioned to have a poor understanding of what is fit and healthy and it is NEVER found in a pill, potion, shake or surgery, it's only found by doing the hard work through physical fitness and eating clean whole foods (cutting out highly processed foods and sugars). Keep up the good work Damon. If you can't look after yourself how can you expect to be able to look after other people/family?
Surgery and pills can cause immediate problems and wreck your body for the rest of your life. Working out and eating less processed food is tricky at first but becomes fun and natural after a few months. So remind me which one is supposed to be easier?
@@ABoringTool Yeah once you loose your sweet tooth (if you quit processed sugars for any actual length of time), normal food starts to taste SOO much sweeter and just generally better.
Not a good personal trainer In my opinion, if you're stating surgery doesn't have a benefit because when you have medical conditions like thyroid issues that cause weight loss to be dang near impossible, bariatric surgery is the answer. And the diet restriction around bariatric surgery. It's a lot stricter than most "personal trainers", even understand. I consume less than four grams of sugar and four grams of fat per meal and only consume about 1500 calories per day, i do cardio in the morning and weightlifting at night. Don't tell me, bariatric surgery is easy and not recommended. Get out of here with your BS
My fiance just lost her grandma last night and she never watches you guys with me until this morning and she just wanted me to tell you guys thank you for making her laugh and smile in a time like this...
Guy really seems he's doing a great job and I can tell just by how relaxed and happier Damon and Dave are now. gotta give him the credit where it's due
I'm actually jelous of that job.. I absolutely love organising warehouses and sorting problems with businesses.. Unfortunately where I live you'll get a 1000 dollars a month for that + they'll throw in that you have to clean everything aswell
Damon, I'm 58, and my body being heavy at 56 wasn't just how it is. Exactly as you said. I got off of my butt with your inspiration, started working out, eating right and stopped drinking. At 58, I'm 89 lbs lighter, with abs and muscle, so yes, you can get abs. I also cook at home, do my own meal preps and make myself get out of bed and jog 5 miles every morning before my weight sets. It's all about mindset over motivation.
In fact, Eric is not lying when it comes to the 190Es that were used for the race back then. The cars were painted in black or silver/golfd and all had the names of the respective drivers on the lower doors. The basis was the 190 E 2.3-16. Every now and then, one or two models of the drivers' cars appear on the German used car market. Most recently, the Lauda car was for sale.
Damon your body transformation is very inspiring. I also thought you looked sick but I always assumed it was due to your healthy weight loss. I have been in jail during 2019-2023 so during my catch up on the old vlogs I have missed over the years I was shocked to see your transformation. I know it isn't easy to stick to it. Great work Damon. Thanks for sharing your health journey!
TRT BABY! I would do the same thing If i had the discipline A lot of people think TRT is cheating but its more like a helper. You still need to do everything else right, if you just depend on TRT you wont get the results
As a loyal DDE fan. Been watching you since you had 100 followers. If us not saying something about if your sick or not doesn’t show our love for you and not only DDE idk what does. This truly shows how much not only your fans care but how much you care about us.
Just want to take a minute to Thank you guys for the everyday uploads, I’m 47 and had a stroke in January. I build power lines by trade. I’ve been home since said stroke. Watching your videos gets my day going but this one gave a an extra boost today maybe move alittle more. Love you all and thanks again. Damon you and your wife and ex wife have raised a great kid. I’m a 911 guy so you get it kid!!!
You guys are all nailing it. I agree I’ve been doing carnivore and trying to eliminate some sugars. It’s amazing how well it works. Fu k the current government with their bullshit meals suggestions designed to keep us sick and keep the pharmaceutical industry going. Hopefully JFK can fix the toxic food supply.
As someone who has gone through the a very similar health change..... It took me 18 months of healthier habits and awareness of all intakes. 268lbs down to 195lbs through fasting and letting go of stress eating. Depression is easy to give into when your cravings control your life. Food is an addiction. Being super healthy is where it's at. Looking back We hate the person we let ourselves become and We WILL NEVER GO BACK to that state of being. Keep loving yourself brother. May those around your seek a similar journey to support and grow healthier together. Glad to know you get to guide those along their path with the wealth of knowledge to share abetter sense of self and health.
The race is called Race of champions, was held in the nurburing with the model of the 190e known as "190E 2.3-16" which have mercedes engines tuned and modified by cosworth into 10k+ reving engines (race spec) and 7k+ rpm for the street version, Senna and Lauda competed hard in that race, lauda didnt catch up to senna because of his low start position compared to senna, also the 2.3-16 was sold in the US for only 2 years(86 and 87) and had between 15 to 20 less HP than the euro version of the car. the 2.3-16 was sold if i remember, from 84 to 88, and form 89-93 it had a revision that changed it to a 2.5-16 and added about 10 more HP to the street version, but the race version saw two kits fitted into it, 500 for homologation, the Evo 1 and Evo 2, the more popular/more expensive and iconic, is the Evo 2, that one has the big wing and wide flares, the Evo 1 was a normal 16v with some aero bits that increased the arches slightly and a larger wing.
Damon, I love you and love that you’re getting fit, it’s motivational for all of us, you are a good role model, with that said, you are definitely obsessed with food. It’s OK to skip a lot of meals for even days at a time, you would’ve dropped weight a lot faster, and would have even more energy than you do. You’re so obsessed with food that you start opening up your food storage for two days…stop thinking about food & focus on work… all you need is some light dumbbells and work every muscle group in your upper body to failure one set every day, do 90 seconds of muscle contractions before and after you eat… do some cardio on an empty stomach when you get up in the mornings eat your fattest meal early in the mornings, eat a healthier lunch and then eat your strictest, leanest meal as just protein, and a slow carb vegetable as your last meal in the afternoon & stop eating after the sun goes down. You could’ve gotten cut even without having to work out if you would do that… also it’s bad advice to tell people to get a trainer and pay them, the trainers and dietitians make you think that all this is complicated because they want you to think that they know things that you won’t ever be able to learn so that you pay them. And you already know what to do you eat Whole Foods and cut out all process foods stop making your meals the most important part of your day… what you’re doing right now, you will not do for a lifetime because it’s too restrictive and you have to go too far out of your way to not eat with your friends and coworkers. So what you’re going to end up doing is getting tired of all this and you’ll start doing what you were doing before this and you will gain all of your weight back… until you stop obsessing and thinking food is so important then you’ll never fix this problem permanently.
Looking Great Damon. As a guy that just turned 46 myself last April I have been battling similar issues. I quit smoking cigarettes 1.5yrs ago and recently quit alcohol completely. Hearing you talk about why and how you went with a cleaner lifestyle I couldn't stop nodding my head in agreement. Congrats on your new found health and thanks for the inspiration to keep pushing myself to be fit and healthy. Been following DDE since 2019.
I can absolutely relate to health conversation. I let myself go concerned about work and such and finally just had that moment where it hits you you need to get better. I'm nowhere close to Damon's level but on my way. I have started working out again and just paying attention to what I eat and it has made significant changes to daily life and sleep. Keep it up it's definitely worth it
If you are an OG, go back and look at some DDE vids from like 2017 and you’ll see that Damon is just getting back to his healthy ‘walk around weight’. KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK DAMON! Now to get Dave on board…
Dude, I have always tried to stay in shape, but sometimes you lose it. I have pretty much done the same as you and dropped 55 lbs this last year and now am at 175 and 6-2 with a 31or 32 inch waist back to high school welter weight! Proud of you brother, it's not easy.
14:21 Yes Damon is almost 100% certainly sick! If I ate that atrocious “meal prep” everyday I would look gaunt, malnourished with eyes sunk into the back of my head like a junkie 🧐
When you weigh a lot at one point in time then people come around when you're losing it so fast or saying you're sick I went through the same thing stay healthy brother keep doing you
I just went back 4yrs to look at your weight loss a few days ago damn bro you are killing it I need to get on a weight loss journey im really sick over weight i do drink only water but i gotta cut alot of carbs out congrats Damon keep up the great work.
Im 57 and lost 50"s in 8 months...i have the same waist size as i did in high school...feel and look great! But everyone thinks im sick! All these ovese ladies with huge arms who look like they are heart attacks waiting to happen telling me i dont look good! Its crazy/backwords! Keep up the great work...even tho im an offroad guy this is the best channel in the world and look forward to your vids everyday
I started training a year ago and I can appreciate the dedication your putting in. Your looking well Damon so don’t stress about people who are bone idle and don’t know what there talking about. You can never win, people called out me putting weight on and soon as you loose some weight and put some muscle on people called you out for loosing weight or being on steroids. Just do you and be happy
Damon you are looking good man. It’s wild going back and watching the old Middle East gumball and when watching the whole video it almost looked like you were having an allergic reaction with how bloated your face was compared to now. The consistent dedication to your fitness with how much you got going on is pretty inspiring considering lots of people won’t make the time after working at a desk job for 8 hours.
I can relate a little bit with Damon on the fact that I used to be in peak top physical shape for years until I suffered suffered a near fatal massive stroke that left me clinically dead for 3 minutes followed by an 8 months hospitalization. I’m very grateful for Dave and Damon because they have graciously gifted me with DDE merch towards the end of the hospitalization. It’s been my goal since I came home from the hospital to get my physical health back to back to normal and then focus on getting myself even stronger than I ever was as I near the age of 44. I’m extremely grateful for DEE and entertaining myself as I continue to recover. Great video as always and Mia is definitely becoming better and better as I watch more of the videos.
I just watched a video from the old shop when Mike, Sean and Tim were creating the exhaust. You look great brother. You shouldn’t have to explain your health to anyone man. Keep doing what makes you happy and what you feel your body should look like!!!
I think it’s the face, same people Tom segura and Ethan Klein are hearing from fans who believe it’s something called “ozempic face” which makes you look sick. I don’t think Damon’s on ozempic though he was never really fat and has been working out for years. No one eats like that then does ozempic either.
@SuperiorDefense yeah it's the loose skin on the face and neck from years of being stretched. I think Damon's had a chunky face for the better part of the last decade. Combine that with his age, and you've got what looks like a sick person.
Damon's health journey has been amazing - definitely doesn't look sick and don't understand where everyone thought that. I know my wife and I, through the encouragement of our 10yr old son, are working towards changing our diet and work on exercising more often - we live with in-laws and their food choices are far from healthy, we are at the point of being tired of feeling tired and sore all the time. Also working on getting my wife's pet care business to grow more.
The reality is that, not all of us are blessed to afford non-processed food like you do. People like us are on the go, pay check to pay check. We eat to survive & live.
Sadly, that's the reality for so much of the population, especially in the US. Hopefully, the changes in government will start us down the road to ridding the toxins from our foods and get us back to healthier, natural, and affordable food.
Damon you look good and healthy been a fan since the begging ,I did the same thing I'm 57 and went from 238 to 162 in 4 months I used to work outside live in fl sweating my ass off all I did was eliminate sugar keep up the great work
Looking good, Damon. I'm healthy in and out, do daily exercise, and avoid alcohol, drugs, and smoking. I've lost 107 lbs, 47 kilos, in 2024. I'm 62 this year. I have a daily routine and monitor everything I eat. Now, it's a natural high. I'm pretty close to my best shape in 42 years.
I actually thought something looked off with Damon watching the last upload and here we are,thanks dor keeping yourself health without you DDE wouldn't exist,stay health brother ✌️
DAMON you’re killing it. I got down to 11% body fat and people talked shit about my appearance. I was in the gym 6 days a week and my meals were on point
I Already knew you were on diet because I’m on one to never thought you where sick I been watching for years I seen and knew wen you started ya diet I started a month before u people thought I was sick i lost 80 pounds I was 250 pounds this is the best shape I ever been in so I know where you are coming from keep it up Damon💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯
Awesome work Damon. I did the same several years ago, lost a lot of weight to then build up, people thought I was sick at 10.7% body fat and only 77kg (down from 98kg), they were right in that I looked it. Then just last year A mate convinced me to do a body building comp. Got down to a ripped 81kg and about 6-7% body fat for comp and didnt look sick. Now im 84kg and in a good state. Im 48, 49 soon. Best move ever getting in shape. Agre, ive been told im in the top 1% physique for my age. Pretty good feeling.
“If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.” 👍 As a person who feels he can never learn enough and is always looking/listening, I like that. ❤
Damon keep up the great work on changing your health. I changed my diet and exercise years ago. No sugar, starches etc. I told my friends look at your family history and see if you have diabetes, heart issues etc. while you can prevent it early.
I've never thought Damon looks sick, but the weight drop has definitely made ya look a bit more tired in the eyes recently, and with all youre doing, thats 100% understandable! With that said, super glad you're healthy and on the fitness journey!
We're praying for you Damon. We know your tough, but make sure your taking care of yourself. Love ysob's. Glad to see your not sick after watching the WHOLE video.
I also feel you on people thinking you are sick, my wife and i went on a Carnivore diet about a year ago for health reasons and it fixed so many things but we lost a lot of weight. And now we are on Whole Food Ketovoire and doing great, but people always think we are sick. And it's like no, we are actually healthy. Good job on your health journey 👏
Always a good day when DDE drops. Love the video. Just would cut back on the makeup. Natural beauty suites u better. Beautiful father/daughter relationship. Love to see men making their kids priority. That's a rarity in this world
Here’s the thing. When you lose a lot of weight like Damon did you get a look about you that comes off sick. His face got really skinny compared to what it was that gives that people that opinion. He’s still built but now has a skinny face. Keep up the good work Damon.
Damon I’m a big fan of yours and DDE. You actually inspired me to do my very first wrap on my brand new wheelchair, I’ve suddenly found out about less less and simple is more. I’ve got a Carbon Fibre wrap on my wheelchair and it looks sick 😈
@@davidsorensen7438 David, its a personal channel not a car channel. Please read a book or something productive and stop telling people how to run their account.
We appreciate the post... unfortunately when folks slim up that fast in a short amount of time it's unfortunately a lot of times illness/cancer/treatments ect... we are losing to many folks to it and most of us have seen someone change due to it quickly. Glad you are just super trim and healthy my man.. keep it up.. looking great.
Congrats on the weight loss Damon. I went from 305 down to 212 but then was in a car accident and am back up to 255. I plan on getting back on the weight loss journey…just figuring out if I have time to cook meal prep.
19:00 well said Damon. The only time anyone has ever said I look sick is when I was my healthiest. I would be 205 with 7% body fat, which was a big deal for me, strong, ripped and muscular, but because my face was thin and I’m your age everyone would say I looked sick. Then when I weigh an unhealthy 225 and a belly and fat cheeks, everyone says “oh you look so much healthier” it’s almost a societal thing where unhealthy is normal. Being minimal body fat and working your ass off to be the best you is “overdoing it” I 100% understand where you’re coming from. I’ve been there. I’m trying to get back there now. God bless you
One of the first videos I skipped through! We don’t want to see you guys eating all the time, it’s boring! Come on Mia, you can do better than this, we believe in you❤
Love the “Presley was here” and “always believe in yourself” on Damon’s white board… it has to be tough being away from your family half of the month but I’m sure that helps Damon on tough days
I'm not gonna lie, I had to fast forward through the new clean eating lifestyle part. I'm happy for Damon! But as a person that has a similar lifestyle, hearing that lecture over and over again gets old. Especially to people that aren't interested in that type of thing. It's not an easy thing to do. It takes ton of discipline, so again I praise any that adopt it.
I've watched every video since the first 458 build. But I agree, the constant food lecture is tiring. Only thing worse is listening to someone eat/chew on camera. Easiest skip ever.
I've always been in great shape all my life. Lived a very active lifestyle, worked out 4-5x a week and skateboarded for hours at a time on the weekends. During covid, with everything shutting down and life circumstances I slipped into a pretty deep depression. I knew I had put on some weight, but it wasn't until I stepped on a scale and saw 200lbs that I realized how bad I had let myself go. I decided right then and there that I wasn't going to let this go on any longer. I cut out 90% of processed foods, I completely cut out sodas again, and fortunately I don't drink alcohol, so I didn't have to worry about missing that. With working out at home, and skateboarding in my driveway, I dropped 50lbs in a matter of months. Funny enough, it wasn't until I dropped all those extra pounds that people started asking if I was sick. When in reality, I was just getting back into the great shape I had been all my life. Nobody once second guessed my weight gain where it was very obvious that I had let myself go. Who knows, maybe they did notice, but were reluctant the be like "hey man, you're getting kinda fat. Is everything okay?" Regardless, keep up the great work Damon. You're killing it, and it shows.
@ I guess I’m just cheap when it comes to shoes lol $80-$100 for a pair of shoes is expensive to me. That’s near my top dollar I’ll spend on a pair of shoes. I won’t spend more than $120 lol
@ I know they’re expensive lmao. I wouldn’t crap my pants over those because I wouldn’t even think about buy them lol not my style, and I’m not into buying shoes as decoration lol
@@Lionheart-oi8co Relatively speaking they cheap as hell. Uptowns been $80 - $120 for like twenty years now. Inflation is making it cheaper year over year
In may, me and my wife decided to put our health in first place, we and also went on a hefty calorie deficit diets too, since then we have lost almost 50kg, over 100lbs together, it was super hard but we are reaping what we sowed, feel much better, sleep better..
Damon I understand what you are saying but looking at you your eyes are sunken in & your color looks really pale I think that is why people are questioning your health
Love the Deamon Mentality. I have plan for myself too, and soon i will start over of what i did for myself 8 years ago. Now im viser, smarter, i eat aloooot unprocessed food and whole food's, got my weight from 116kg to 108 in 5months without a workout, for now. Trying to go to 107 or 105kg to start my 1st phase of my transformation. Well i know so far, how my body worked, how to do the training's and what to eat to not spike insulin levels to much. Well in the morning i can spike the insulin a bit, but after 12 am it is switching time. No sugar, just veggies, no processed meat, himalyan salt is ok, then get your protein intake to max out! cant wait to start working!
Great points on Damon's health, congrats. I think as a business, you should always address family by first name. Rather than mom, dad, daughter etc. It keeps everyone on a level playing field without an advantage/ disadvantage undertone. It just seems like a better business practice. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the great work.
You see Mia, Dave is a narcissist. He can be a cool guy and an adequate friend when there's no one else, but he will always be right, he will never give you anything without seeing a return on his investment, and he will never try to make you feel better just because he cares.
I personally have lost just about 200 pounds in the last year and I have another 150 I’m planning on losing, but that is because I want to be around for when my boy gets older. I struggled with my entire life. I understand what you’re going through Damon keep up the good work fella
Damon’s diet…. Gtfo. Who cares about Damon’s constant work out routine and eating habits. I don’t give two shits about what that guy eats or his work out schedule, we are here for the content in cars
Great to see you living your best healthy life! I went whole foods/animal products/low carb years ago and have never been healthier at 54. So many great resources for nutrition on TH-cam. The doctors generally know nothing about nutrition, only pharmaceuticals. The Levels channel, Dr Lustig and people like Dr Berg helped me learn a lot! Try to stay away from processed foods. Just about all of it will eventually unalive us. Almost all the major health conditions can be corrected with diet.
love this it shows the raw side of everyone and svj is screaming its a GOAT and mia is unbelivable behind the camera she catches her dad and dave off guard regularly
Very well done Damon Incredible progress I used to always be around 250 lb 6 feet prior to hiring trainer who got me 170- 180 i lb lean and actually healthy again. In 2015 to present I neglected myself few years in early 2000s developing businesses. Whole foods No drugs like junk food alcohol etc is definitely a key
Woo woo wooo!!! Hang on a dang second!!! A title that wasn't click bait?? Did mia make this whole video? Thank you for the update I kinda was thinking damon was sick too. Thank goodness he isnt
Congrats on the weight loss, would like to know in detail about the meal prep, wanting to get rid of my sickness as well, getting over my depression and I aspire to get in the best shape of my life, just want to follow something that actually works.
That’s funny the same thing that happened to me when I dropped from 210 to 187 my whole family thinks I’m sick or on drugs😂 but it’s nothing more than staying healthy thanks to some of your inspiration ALOHA.

Good job Damon, I’m 55 and in the best shape I’ve ever been. Feels good after workout , just a little more recovery time.

Watching your videos gets my day going but this one gave a an extra boost today maybe move alittle more. Love you all and thanks again. Damon you and your wife and ex wife have raised a great kid. I’m a 911 guy so you get it kid!!!
I had one too, the latest thing was having back to back heart attacks which are no joke too.
I dropped 50 lbs in a short amount of time doing a "surgar free" diet and everyone thought i was on drugs. 😂
78 pounds here on carnivore and they said the same 😂
40lbs in like 3 months from eating clean cutting out sugar and alcohol and everyone thought I was on drugs too 😂
You guys are all nailing it. I agree I’ve been doing carnivore and trying to eliminate some sugars. It’s amazing how well it works.

Always surround yourself with people more successful than yourself.
I was taught this years ago. Most accurate statement ever made.
Yea in a typical influenceur room with BS lines that sounds good..
otherwise, the Mike that everyone love, the smart one, would be out already 😂
You better be getting paid if you’re the smartest person in the room.
The race is called Race of champions, was held in the nurburing with the model of the 190e known as "190E 2.3-16" which have mercedes engines tuned and modified by cosworth into 10k+ reving engines (race spec) and 7k+ rpm for the street version, Senna and Lauda competed hard in that race, lauda didnt catch up to senna because of his low start position compared to senna, also the 2.3-16 was sold in the US for only 2 years(86 and 87) and had between 15 to 20 less HP than the euro version of the car. the 2.3-16 was sold if i remember, from 84 to 88, and form 89-93 it had a revision that changed it to a 2.5-16 and added about 10 more HP to the street version, but the race version saw two kits fitted into it, 500 for homologation, the Evo 1 and Evo 2, the more popular/more expensive and iconic, is the Evo 2, that one has the big wing and wide flares, the Evo 1 was a normal 16v with some aero bits that increased the arches slightly and a larger wing.
All true, the manuals also had a dog leg gearbox. They were Mercedes attempt to rival the E30 M3.

Damon, I love you and love that you’re getting fit, it’s motivational for all of us, you are a good role model, with that said, you are definitely obsessed with food. It’s OK to skip a lot of meals for even days at a time, you would’ve dropped weight a lot faster, and would have even more energy than you do. You’re so obsessed with food that you start opening up your food storage for two days…stop thinking about food & focus on work… all you need is some light dumbbells and work every muscle group in your upper body to failure one set every day, do 90 seconds of muscle contractions before and after you eat… do some cardio on an empty stomach when you get up in the mornings eat your fattest meal early in the mornings, eat a healthier lunch and then eat your strictest, leanest meal as just protein, and a slow carb vegetable as your last meal in the afternoon & stop eating after the sun goes down. You could’ve gotten cut even without having to work out if you would do that… also it’s bad advice to tell people to get a trainer and pay them, the trainers and dietitians make you think that all this is complicated because they want you to think that they know things that you won’t ever be able to learn so that you pay them. And you already know what to do you eat Whole Foods and cut out all process foods stop making your meals the most important part of your day… what you’re doing right now, you will not do for a lifetime because it’s too restrictive and you have to go too far out of your way to not eat with your friends and coworkers. So what you’re going to end up doing is getting tired of all this and you’ll start doing what you were doing before this and you will gain all of your weight back… until you stop obsessing and thinking food is so important then you’ll never fix this problem permanently.
Honestly 😂 DDE videos have become part of the morning routine 🤙😂
Looking Great Damon. As a guy that just turned 46 myself last April I have been battling similar issues. I quit smoking cigarettes 1.5yrs ago and recently quit alcohol completely. Hearing you talk about why and how you went with a cleaner lifestyle I couldn't stop nodding my head in agreement. Congrats on your new found health and thanks for the inspiration to keep pushing myself to be fit and healthy. Been following DDE since 2019.

I can absolutely relate to health conversation. I let myself go concerned about work and such and finally just had that moment where it hits you you need to get better. I'm nowhere close to Damon's level but on my way. I have started working out again and just paying attention to what I eat and it has made significant changes to daily life and sleep. Keep it up it's definitely worth it
It’s wild how people think getting healthy is you getting sick but no one says anything when you’re overweight and drinking daily. Keep it up dude 💪💪💪
If you are an OG, go back and look at some DDE vids from like 2017 and you’ll see that Damon is just getting back to his healthy ‘walk around weight’. KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK DAMON!
Now to get Dave on board…
Dude, I have always tried to stay in shape, but sometimes you lose it. I have pretty much done the same as you and dropped 55 lbs this last year and now am at 175 and 6-2 with a 31or 32 inch waist back to high school welter weight! Proud of you brother, it's not easy.
14:21 Yes Damon is almost 100% certainly sick! If I ate that atrocious “meal prep” everyday I would look gaunt, malnourished with eyes sunk into the back of my head like a junkie 🧐
When you weigh a lot at one point in time then people come around when you're losing it so fast or saying you're sick I went through the same thing stay healthy brother keep doing you
I just went back 4yrs to look at your weight loss a few days ago damn bro you are killing it I need to get on a weight loss journey im really sick over weight i do drink only water but i gotta cut alot of carbs out congrats Damon keep up the great work.
Im 57 and lost 50"s in 8 months...i have the same waist size as i did in high school...feel and look great! But everyone thinks im sick! All these ovese ladies with huge arms who look like they are heart attacks waiting to happen telling me i dont look good! Its crazy/backwords! Keep up the great work...even tho im an offroad guy this is the best channel in the world and look forward to your vids everyday
I started training a year ago and I can appreciate the dedication your putting in. Your looking well Damon so don’t stress about people who are bone idle and don’t know what there talking about. You can never win, people called out me putting weight on and soon as you loose some weight and put some muscle on people called you out for loosing weight or being on steroids. Just do you and be happy
Damon you are looking good man. It’s wild going back and watching the old Middle East gumball and when watching the whole video it almost looked like you were having an allergic reaction with how bloated your face was compared to now. The consistent dedication to your fitness with how much you got going on is pretty inspiring considering lots of people won’t make the time after working at a desk job for 8 hours.
I can relate a little bit with Damon on the fact that I used to be in peak top physical shape for years until I suffered suffered a near fatal massive stroke that left me clinically dead for 3 minutes followed by an 8 months hospitalization. I’m very grateful for Dave and Damon because they have graciously gifted me with DDE merch towards the end of the hospitalization. It’s been my goal since I came home from the hospital to get my physical health back to back to normal and then focus on getting myself even stronger than I ever was as I near the age of 44. I’m extremely grateful for DEE and entertaining myself as I continue to recover. Great video as always and Mia is definitely becoming better and better as I watch more of the videos.
1;03 Am Australia South Australia watching you guys I live a boring life cheers 👍👍
Man I don't care how long it takes for the f12 wide body to be done, HAS to look as crazy as it sounds 100% This is gonna be epic. 🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just watched a video from the old shop when Mike, Sean and Tim were creating the exhaust. You look great brother. You shouldn’t have to explain your health to anyone man. Keep doing what makes you happy and what you feel your body should look like!!!
It's called ego, and it always gets in the way.
I think it’s the face, same people Tom segura and Ethan Klein are hearing from fans who believe it’s something called “ozempic face” which makes you look sick. I don’t think Damon’s on ozempic though he was never really fat and has been working out for years. No one eats like that then does ozempic either.
@SuperiorDefense yeah it's the loose skin on the face and neck from years of being stretched. I think Damon's had a chunky face for the better part of the last decade. Combine that with his age, and you've got what looks like a sick person.
Damon's health journey has been amazing - definitely doesn't look sick and don't understand where everyone thought that. I know my wife and I, through the encouragement of our 10yr old son, are working towards changing our diet and work on exercising more often - we live with in-laws and their food choices are far from healthy, we are at the point of being tired of feeling tired and sore all the time. Also working on getting my wife's pet care business to grow more.
The reality is that, not all of us are blessed to afford non-processed food like you do. People like us are on the go, pay check to pay check. We eat to survive & live.
Sadly, that's the reality for so much of the population, especially in the US. Hopefully, the changes in government will start us down the road to ridding the toxins from our foods and get us back to healthier, natural, and affordable food.
Damon you look good and healthy been a fan since the begging ,I did the same thing I'm 57 and went from 238 to 162 in 4 months I used to work outside live in fl sweating my ass off all I did was eliminate sugar keep up the great work
I lost 43kg in 9 monds on the carnivore diet and cure my illness. Damon you look perfect
Damon you have to get the new McClaren W1... over 1,200 h.p. to the rear wheels, gullwing doors!! 2 mil is a little heafty though!!
Looking good, Damon. I'm healthy in and out, do daily exercise, and avoid alcohol, drugs, and smoking. I've lost 107 lbs, 47 kilos, in 2024. I'm 62 this year. I have a daily routine and monitor everything I eat. Now, it's a natural high. I'm pretty close to my best shape in 42 years.
Keep up the good work you are really inspiring ❤❤❤
@@lovesonification cheers.
Just watched vlogs from the main channel a year ago. And Maaannn Damon's face is much more structured if I may say right now. Keep up the hustle man!
It’s the drawn in face. It does make him look like he could have been ill
I actually thought something looked off with Damon watching the last upload and here we are,thanks dor keeping yourself health without you DDE wouldn't exist,stay health brother ✌️
DAMON you’re killing it. I got down to 11% body fat and people talked shit about my appearance. I was in the gym 6 days a week and my meals were on point
I Already knew you were on diet because I’m on one to never thought you where sick I been watching for years I seen and knew wen you started ya diet I started a month before u people thought I was sick i lost 80 pounds I was 250 pounds this is the best shape I ever been in so I know where you are coming from keep it up Damon💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯
Save the fitness stuff for the Damon Fryer channel, imo
I totally get it. I cut sugar by 75% and changed my diet and lost 98 lbs of extra me in 10 months. Congrats on all the hard work!
All you need is eating correctly and fitness. Ozempic is NOT required. It makes people look ill.
Tip!! Go to the Home Depot and get professionally measured and installed for new window shades for the offices! Get rid of thoes mini blinds! ❤😊
Awesome work Damon. I did the same several years ago, lost a lot of weight to then build up, people thought I was sick at 10.7% body fat and only 77kg (down from 98kg), they were right in that I looked it. Then just last year A mate convinced me to do a body building comp. Got down to a ripped 81kg and about 6-7% body fat for comp and didnt look sick. Now im 84kg and in a good state. Im 48, 49 soon. Best move ever getting in shape. Agre, ive been told im in the top 1% physique for my age. Pretty good feeling.
“If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.” 👍 As a person who feels he can never learn enough and is always looking/listening, I like that. ❤
Clickbait is going crazy on this channel
Damon keep up the great work on changing your health. I changed my diet and exercise years ago. No sugar, starches etc. I told my friends look at your family history and see if you have diabetes, heart issues etc. while you can prevent it early.
I've never thought Damon looks sick, but the weight drop has definitely made ya look a bit more tired in the eyes recently, and with all youre doing, thats 100% understandable!
With that said, super glad you're healthy and on the fitness journey!
So glad and happy to know you’re healthy and in good shape ❤❤❤
We're praying for you Damon. We know your tough, but make sure your taking care of yourself. Love ysob's. Glad to see your not sick after watching the WHOLE video.
I also feel you on people thinking you are sick, my wife and i went on a Carnivore diet about a year ago for health reasons and it fixed so many things but we lost a lot of weight. And now we are on Whole Food Ketovoire and doing great, but people always think we are sick. And it's like no, we are actually healthy. Good job on your health journey 👏
Even he is getting sick of the clickbait😢 get well soon
Always a good day when DDE drops. Love the video. Just would cut back on the makeup. Natural beauty suites u better. Beautiful father/daughter relationship. Love to see men making their kids priority. That's a rarity in this world
Here’s the thing. When you lose a lot of weight like Damon did you get a look about you that comes off sick. His face got really skinny compared to what it was that gives that people that opinion. He’s still built but now has a skinny face. Keep up the good work Damon.
Damon I’m a big fan of yours and DDE. You actually inspired me to do my very first wrap on my brand new wheelchair, I’ve suddenly found out about less less and simple is more. I’ve got a Carbon Fibre wrap on my wheelchair and it looks sick 😈
Dude I’ve been here for 5 years FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - stop with the food- pleaseeeeeeeeee
This isn’t your channel David, go watch something else and quit complaining
@ dude mind ur own business- it’s a car channel
@@davidsorensen7438 David, its a personal channel not a car channel. Please read a book or something productive and stop telling people how to run their account.
We appreciate the post... unfortunately when folks slim up that fast in a short amount of time it's unfortunately a lot of times illness/cancer/treatments ect... we are losing to many folks to it and most of us have seen someone change due to it quickly. Glad you are just super trim and healthy my man.. keep it up.. looking great.
He definitely looks sick but It’s probably just rapid weight loss.
Being thin thin doesn’t really look good on damon
It makes him look much older.
He's happy so that's all. That matters 😊
Congrats on the weight loss Damon. I went from 305 down to 212 but then was in a car accident and am back up to 255. I plan on getting back on the weight loss journey…just figuring out if I have time to cook meal prep.
SHE FUNNY 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂SHE SAID HERE COME DAVE WITH HIS 2¢ 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Dave : FUN FACT
19:00 well said Damon. The only time anyone has ever said I look sick is when I was my healthiest. I would be 205 with 7% body fat, which was a big deal for me, strong, ripped and muscular, but because my face was thin and I’m your age everyone would say I looked sick. Then when I weigh an unhealthy 225 and a belly and fat cheeks, everyone says “oh you look so much healthier” it’s almost a societal thing where unhealthy is normal. Being minimal body fat and working your ass off to be the best you is “overdoing it” I 100% understand where you’re coming from. I’ve been there. I’m trying to get back there now. God bless you
One of the first videos I skipped through! We don’t want to see you guys eating all the time, it’s boring! Come on Mia, you can do better than this, we believe in you❤
Love the “Presley was here” and “always believe in yourself” on Damon’s white board… it has to be tough being away from your family half of the month but I’m sure that helps Damon on tough days
I'm not gonna lie, I had to fast forward through the new clean eating lifestyle part. I'm happy for Damon! But as a person that has a similar lifestyle, hearing that lecture over and over again gets old. Especially to people that aren't interested in that type of thing. It's not an easy thing to do. It takes ton of discipline, so again I praise any that adopt it.
I've watched every video since the first 458 build. But I agree, the constant food lecture is tiring. Only thing worse is listening to someone eat/chew on camera. Easiest skip ever.
I've always been in great shape all my life. Lived a very active lifestyle, worked out 4-5x a week and skateboarded for hours at a time on the weekends. During covid, with everything shutting down and life circumstances I slipped into a pretty deep depression. I knew I had put on some weight, but it wasn't until I stepped on a scale and saw 200lbs that I realized how bad I had let myself go. I decided right then and there that I wasn't going to let this go on any longer. I cut out 90% of processed foods, I completely cut out sodas again, and fortunately I don't drink alcohol, so I didn't have to worry about missing that. With working out at home, and skateboarding in my driveway, I dropped 50lbs in a matter of months. Funny enough, it wasn't until I dropped all those extra pounds that people started asking if I was sick. When in reality, I was just getting back into the great shape I had been all my life. Nobody once second guessed my weight gain where it was very obvious that I had let myself go. Who knows, maybe they did notice, but were reluctant the be like "hey man, you're getting kinda fat. Is everything okay?" Regardless, keep up the great work Damon. You're killing it, and it shows.
It’s called Ozempic 😂
Hell yes Eric! 190E Project! Thats my next project after my E30
Saying “Air Force ones are just a nice, cheap shoe.” Is such a wild statement 😂😂
$80 is very cheap for the shoe
@ I guess I’m just cheap when it comes to shoes lol $80-$100 for a pair of shoes is expensive to me. That’s near my top dollar I’ll spend on a pair of shoes. I won’t spend more than $120 lol
You will crap,your pants then if you knew those UNC Off White Jordan currently sell for 3k USD.
@ I know they’re expensive lmao. I wouldn’t crap my pants over those because I wouldn’t even think about buy them lol not my style, and I’m not into buying shoes as decoration lol
@@Lionheart-oi8co Relatively speaking they cheap as hell. Uptowns been $80 - $120 for like twenty years now. Inflation is making it cheaper year over year
In may, me and my wife decided to put our health in first place, we and also went on a hefty calorie deficit diets too, since then we have lost almost 50kg, over 100lbs together, it was super hard but we are reaping what we sowed, feel much better, sleep better..
Damon I understand what you are saying but looking at you your eyes are sunken in & your color looks really pale I think that is why people are questioning your health
Love the Deamon Mentality. I have plan for myself too, and soon i will start over of what i did for myself 8 years ago. Now im viser, smarter, i eat aloooot unprocessed food and whole food's, got my weight from 116kg to 108 in 5months without a workout, for now. Trying to go to 107 or 105kg to start my 1st phase of my transformation. Well i know so far, how my body worked, how to do the training's and what to eat to not spike insulin levels to much. Well in the morning i can spike the insulin a bit, but after 12 am it is switching time. No sugar, just veggies, no processed meat, himalyan salt is ok, then get your protein intake to max out! cant wait to start working!
35:02 erics exactly correct good man 👌th-cam.com/video/xpXByGpsTtE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QIjlfM1VDdTWkM80
This is the race
Great points on Damon's health, congrats. I think as a business, you should always address family by first name. Rather than mom, dad, daughter etc. It keeps everyone on a level playing field without an advantage/ disadvantage undertone. It just seems like a better business practice. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the great work.
DDE morning crew let's go
Good afternoon...
Present!
lets goooo
I always come looking for this comment
Morning bro
I need Damons food and workout regimen, the transformation is crazy, he even seems happier. Good on you Damon, keep it up bud!!
You see Mia, Dave is a narcissist. He can be a cool guy and an adequate friend when there's no one else, but he will always be right, he will never give you anything without seeing a return on his investment, and he will never try to make you feel better just because he cares.
I personally have lost just about 200 pounds in the last year and I have another 150 I’m planning on losing, but that is because I want to be around for when my boy gets older. I struggled with my entire life. I understand what you’re going through Damon keep up the good work fella
Damon’s diet…. Gtfo. Who cares about Damon’s constant work out routine and eating habits. I don’t give two shits about what that guy eats or his work out schedule, we are here for the content in cars
Thank you
Discipline over Motivation! Love that. Love the whole DDE team, and family......
No cars in this episode when I bailed. Too much Damon talking.
Literal stories channel bud 😂
It’s almost like this is a person channel not a car one, OH WAIT IT IS
Your doing great damon everyone gonna talk on what they can’t succeed life is no joke and health over all congratulations on all the success
Mia is too young to get the Grey Poupon joke. That commercial hasn't been on for ages! th-cam.com/video/uwOCOm9Z0YE/w-d-xo.html
Great to see you living your best healthy life! I went whole foods/animal products/low carb years ago and have never been healthier at 54. So many great resources for nutrition on TH-cam. The doctors generally know nothing about nutrition, only pharmaceuticals. The Levels channel, Dr Lustig and people like Dr Berg helped me learn a lot! Try to stay away from processed foods. Just about all of it will eventually unalive us. Almost all the major health conditions can be corrected with diet.
*** Damon - please do a video with more specifics on your routine. IT’S SUPER MOTIVATING!!!!!
love this it shows the raw side of everyone and svj is screaming its a GOAT and mia is unbelivable behind the camera she catches her dad and dave off guard regularly
Most of the country is out of shape due to the financial food choices that we have available to us unless we are very wealthy like yourself
Dave! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 👏👏👏 On your weddings!!
Very well done Damon
Incredible progress
I used to always be around 250 lb 6 feet prior to hiring trainer who got me 170- 180 i lb lean and actually healthy again. In 2015 to present
I neglected myself few years in early 2000s developing businesses.
Whole foods
No drugs like junk food alcohol etc is definitely a key
Woo woo wooo!!! Hang on a dang second!!! A title that wasn't click bait?? Did mia make this whole video?
Thank you for the update I kinda was thinking damon was sick too. Thank goodness he isnt
Congrats on the weight loss, would like to know in detail about the meal prep, wanting to get rid of my sickness as well, getting over my depression and I aspire to get in the best shape of my life, just want to follow something that actually works.
That’s funny the same thing that happened to me when I dropped from 210 to 187 my whole family thinks I’m sick or on drugs😂 but it’s nothing more than staying healthy thanks to some of your inspiration ALOHA.
