Joe de Sena: “A 695 pound man” Jamie “A in Physics” Vernon: “I’ll round down to 600”

The man who fasted for a year was Angus Barbieri of Tayport Scotland. He was 27 years old and weighed 456 lbs when he began the fast in July 1966 and 180 lbs when he ended the fast 382 days later. The whole time his fast was supervised by doctors at Maryfield Hospital who monitored his condition and recommended vitamin and electrolyte supplements as necessary along with coffee, tea and water. I don't know how he came to get so heavy but his family kept a fish and chip shop which may have had something to do with it.

I'm working on mine 580 down to 560 after 5 weeks so far

No joe. 695 pounds is 700 pounds not 600 lmao

Joe: "And again, we're both morons."

Extreme weight loss stories are motivating. They should be shared and promoted to help obese people work towards a healthier & better life

a 600lb guy hiking that much at first must have been living hell.

Joe De Sena seems like someone who could easily fit in uncle Jack's gang in Breaking Bad 😄👍🏼

"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." - Mike Tyson. Many people see these videos and when it comes to work they get a taste and quit. They want instant results. These stories are extreme and have a person motivating. The accountability is how you get through it. At the end, you have to look at yourself. The guy that lost all that weight and gained 100 back will most likely gain even more weight than he had previously. Its easy when someone is telling you to do something. When you have to motivate yourself, many people quit. I wish this wasn't true but most people will quit.

The most weight that I gained after a bodybuilding show is 20 lbs in a week. It totally shocked my system. The reason that guy gained so much weight afterwards is that he was on a very unrealistic diet. I’ve found that best way to loose weight is to put or go on a realistic diet. Eating fruits and vegetables at all times isn’t realistic. Been there done that, the moment you eat normal you will start to put on weigh.

9:06 ...a 720-degree turn would mean he ended up exactly where he started

A 600lb man trekking 10k through the countryside ? Bet the sasquatch sightings in that area went through the roof 😂

a 720 degree turn puts you back in the same spot

I stopped working out after I met my goal of losing 41 lbs after having 13 pulmonary embolisms. Went from 216 to 175lbs. I have an at home gym I've built up over the years, I just lost motivation. I needed to hear this Joe, thank you. Hopefully in the future I can link up with some people that'll keep me straight. I dropped 41lbs in 2.5 months with intermittent fasting, clean eating, & macro counting. I wouldn't workout more than 2 hours a day(typically a strenuous 45min-1hour), dropping my caloric intake based on what my weight was for that week. I even had the calories I burned in my sleep accounted for. Side note: I had the embolisms because I sat too long in the car on a 1300 mile road trip. No previous issues, nothing. Healthy heart, liver, all was good. Just sat too long. Thankfully I was always extremely active when I was younger, otherwise I'm not sure if I would've made it. A coworker of mine lost her brother in law to just one embolism.

"Train yourself to like discomfort" - key quote that sums up the video

Walking everyday is the best thing you can do. Getting a treadmill in the house changed my life.

Lol so he held him hostage ?!? Jesus dude

This video has inspired so much, when this video came out i was 295 pounds and now im down to 237 pounds. If any reads this. You can do it and i hope you suceed in it.

What Joe describes at the end (100 pushups/ChinUps/situps) is actually how I started to lose 120lbs. Eventually doubled it to 200 and then into more full body cardio/plyo excercise, but starting with cumulative goals like Joe suggests is actually a great way to begin.

What was his motivation? De Sena: I took his keys and wallet

Didn't know Bill Burr had a brother

Joe talking about making a schedule as a motivating tool. Definitely what's helped me the most these past couple of years! Though with me it's more about making up a 'streak' and keeping it going. Learned French every day for two years straight! Went through a bunch of books, online courses, youtube series, apps,... just to keep that streak going and keep pushing forward. Took cold showers straight through winter for like 5 months, every day. Worked out for a couple of years there, for nine months I worked out every day. Read classic literature every night because it was just something I always wanted to do. Right now I'm 27 days into teaching myself how to play the piano. Was always something I wanted to do, learn an instrument, could never get it together, seems to be going fine now, finally. Also wrapping up a 4-month diet. Been writing down everything I ate, really paid attention to it, skipped some meals, had a bunch of smaller-than-usual-for-me meals, nothing too complicated. Went from 210 down to 177. With the ultimate goal being 'under 176 lbs, or under 80 kg.' I'm 6'4'' so I'm kinda skinny, but that's what I wanted.:D Hey, I'm not perfect, a lot of the stuff I've started through this time, I've also quit, like working out! Some stuff I stopped because I just ended up thinking it was pointless or I found that I could keep it going without needing to do 'em every goddamn day. Still, for a guy like me, that's always had issues motivating himself, the fact that I managed to keep some of this shit going for years, that's pretty crazy. And, whatever, I'm doing something, I'm trying. With the power of the STREAK!

Title correction: Joe De Sena Helped a Man Go From 700lbs to 265lbs

“No I think that’s it” “Obviously we’re both morons” -Joe “Jamie pull that up” Rogan 🤣🤣🤣🤣

When he initially said “the farm,” I really through he meant, “The Farm!” LOL

Been walking about four miles a day and I feel damn good I’m proud of that guy he’s a trooper and will be motivated to push more....love the animosity

Been weight lifting since may 13 2020. 5'2 23 y/o female 170lbs start weight . I am 2 months In I'm 160lbs. Its slow and steady, no cardio. It's slowly but this feels more of a lifestyle change and I have been a part of these diets before where you limit yourself to only lose muscle, water and dignity. I eat what is normal meats veggies. I do indulge in fast foods here and there. Nothing is planned, Just making better choices and like Greg Doucette says, TRAIN HARDER THAN LAST TIME...♥️♥️

I have a hard time believing a almost 700 pound man could even walk let alone do anything else

fasting helped me lose about 30 lbs. I felt amazing. I had so much energy, felt light as a feather, but the only downside is how boring it gets. You don't realize how much of your day is occupied by eating until you don't. The longest I ever went was a week and I probably could have gone longer but not eating is boring and "weird" to others. Which, if our ancestors had to follow herds of mammoth across miles and miles of field, they probably _did_ eat only once or twice a week.

"Obviously we're both morons but.. " 😂😂

The guy went from SUPERSIZE ME to DOWNSIZE ME lol

This is Bill Burr if “Frank Murphy” stayed in the military.

Wings of redemption should watch this for motivation 😂😂

Whats my jared mean .. why dont u say that? Lol

Gained 18 pounds back in a day? That's impossible.

Joe you’ve got to meet Dr Jason Fung he’ll explain it all re: fasting & excess skin, it’s called Autophagy the discovery of which led to an Nobel prize.

Yea writing it down works, my rules is I write my workout for the day on the board and underneath it I write “once it’s on the board, it gets done” so I don’t cut it short

I never understood how someone could AFFORD the groceries it would require to get to 700lbs?

Look into Autophagy. Cellular recycling that occurs after 42 hours of fasting, hence no loose skin.

i listened to some of the "vegan propaganda" and there is so many stories similar to this. its genuinely mind boggling how a raw plant based diet can flip your life around! Same thing happened to me; i went fully plant based and virtually every single health problem/struggle i had magically vanished within 3 months. Got my life back when i was so certain it wouldn't even be healthy...

Listening to this as I'm doing my 60th day workout from an online app. Its possible and it still kicks my butt haha.

Joe you say Dom deAugustine I say Dom DeLuise, 😂

I wasnt sure about this guy before but after listening to this podcast its changed my mind

“Seek Discomfort” Joe should get the Yes Theory guys on the podcast!

That’s amazing can’t imagine losing that much well done

Ah yes, the reverse Supersize me

autophagy is the mechanism by which fasting removes the loose skin

Glad the guy lost weight but damn it sounds like he did it in a unnecessarily difficult and miserable way.

It is very important to note that what they are saying is completely anecdotal and is very dangerous to do.

What's the point of making someone walk 20 miles a day and putting them on an unsustainable diet? It sounds like they just used this guy to get his extreme makeover to promote whatever they're doing. For a diet to work longterm, they have to be able to sustain it. It's the biggest reason people gain back weight after dieting. Keto is a great example of that. Why wouldn't you give the guy protein? Eating high protein gives you satiety. I'm a complete junk food junkie, but eating high protein got me over it.

😂😂 “this is our Jared this is our subway”

Being obese is NOT acceptable. Some people don't get a chance at life, children born prematurely or not at all, people are taken before their time in freak accidents or disease and then there's some people who decide to use their chance by abusing their body and taking it for granted. Honestly its disgusting and they're no better than drug addicts, this is coming from someone who used to be 120kg (264lbs) now i weigh 79kg (174lbs) work out 5-6 times a week, go boxing, hike up mountains, rarely drink or eat junk food, dont do social media and just generally live a more fulfilling life. If you're overweight and are wanting to make this journey i wish you all the best and if you start you're already better than most, take control of your body and mind, be disciplined and formidable.

When I was in my late teens, if I went to McD's for breakfast, I would order a large coffee and 5 McMuffins. I was 6'3 and about 175lbs at the time. I think metabolism plays a big part in becoming obese vs not becoming obese. Now that I'm 51, I don't go to McD's anymore, I eat (mostly) healthy, but I'm up to about 210 lbs. Obviously my metabolism has slowed down. I'm also nowhere near as active. So I guess that doesn't help.

I weight 300lbs and I have to wedge myself into an airplane sear. That’s fucking ridiculous. I will never fly again unless it’s a dire emergency.

He said we found our Jared from the subway commercials haha

I lost 100lbs in 6 months while eating tacobell and bologna sandwiches. I worked out for one hour every morning just doing mild weights and a treadmill. It's not about what you eat it's about how much.

does anybody know the name of the 600 pound guy?

I’ve never been obese (I’m almost 6’6”), but I’ve lost 100lbs in a month...TWICE. 300-200. It was just constant exercise and clean eating. I never felt better.

Good post, Joe from Joe. Just a couple of Joes! :^) Merry Christmas.

I did a juicing fast for 90 days an lost 150 lbs. i was at 430lbs at my heaviest currently im at 225 its been 5 years since i started my weightloss journey it definitely worked for me

Never seen this guy before. Love him

Bill Burr's little brother is fucking hilarious and inspirational

Joe rogan firing me up to work out at the end there boooooy 👏🏽👏🏽

Bert?

It’s not a surprise these guys rebounded. This guy is not someone I’d recommend for diet advice

I heard "raw foods and vegetables" about 300 times

Man, wish i had the ability to go out to this guys farm and drop this last 150 lbs.

Put glasses and a rug on the dudes head and he'll look like Ralph Cifaretto's twin.

8 egg McMuffins per day for breakfast lmao

.....your the bomb dude.....I run in the sun at noon here in Siam....why? Cause it's outside my comfort zone.....been doing it for 15 years. I come up with new runs every now and then to spice things up...."The avoidance of discomfort" remark really rang true with me....

This guy is as trustworthy as a three dollar bill. Im gonna order some beer and taco bell in protest.

Speak about Dr Sebi and his theories Joe !!!

wow fascinating story, gotta listen to the entire podcast

Yes sir Joe. I will. I'm 50 lbs overweight.

It's finding something sustainable so you don't do these massive rebounds from fit to fat

Well obviously he was starving himself and there was nutrients in the skin so his body used it

Seek Discomfort

Joe Rogan helped me drop from 300lbs to 190lbs.

Alpt of fruits and veggies have ridiculous amounts of sugars and carbs in them. I keep my fruits to only blueberries and strawberrys. I dont eat high carb veggies or potatoes, etc. I eat cabbage , spinach, mixed greens, etc. I incorporate healthy fats like olive, avacodo, almond oil , as well as ghee. I dont eat red meat, it inflames me super bad. I eat chicken and fish. Basically it's a version of keto. I've lost 90 lbs. I'm learning to tweak things here and there.

If you consistently pursue pleasure and avoid discomfort you may never know how amazing it feels on the flip side. Once you really embrace discomfort and take control of unhealthy pleasures - your physical, mental and spiritual health just skyrocket. AND there’s no crash. You stay elevated as long as you continue. Do the do’s and you’ll get the gets.

This guy could be Bill Burrs cousin

Good video uncle joe

He goes to this wrestling club that I go to and his workouts r no joke. This guy is an absolute nut but I respect it. He’s a fucking beast.

Yup. Make it so regular that it becomes part of your daily routine, and then, get it done.

Plot twist. he ate his excess skin.....

IT IS NOT GENETICS! Prolong FASTING has your body breaking down cells to use for fuel; like fats, skin, etc. The best part about fasting is that the body will FIRST break down the damaged cells.

talk to Greg Ducete about this talking about

I knew someone that was 700 pounds and they could barely walk to their front door. This guy walked 10 miles everyday? Lol bullshit

Is this guy Bill Burr's brother?!

Joe "and again, we're both morons" Rogan

Please help me find the video/documentary of this, I can't find it...

A problem in todays society is the acceptance of obesity. Nobody should be shamed or insulted but we need to encourage healthier lifestyles

Dear Joe ! Get Cole Robinson!!

I've always thought that loose skin after weight loss would depend on RATE of weight loss. Like, if it's the right pace (slow and steady?) then you're body would process it.

How do I find the documentary?

I see Walton Goggins not Bill Burr

The hardest part is keeping it off!! Good luck!!

movement + fasting/healthfood is the key to skinshrink

i bet he puts that weight back on though.. i think its impressive but just doesn't seem sustainable

That sounds incredible, I'm not obese or even mostly overweight but I'd love to just go somewhere and cut out all the distractions
