Thats what I was thinking. But I think it’s a last ditch effort to get those people well enough for the surgery in the first place. Still that doesn’t make it any easier.
@@TheOddDucklingPaintingthey probably make them starve to that extreme due to time but yeah ironically, losing weight is FAR more of a mental battle rather than chowing down greens
@@TheOddDucklingPainting it doesn't necessarily justify it but,time does play a role here and yes, it is a show after all so they probably did want it to be as dramatic as possible just to get kicks from it (which is messed up ngl)
@@TheOddDucklingPaintingI really don’t think many people have seen the show. He gives them the 1200 calorie diet so they can meet the weight needed for the surgery. He gives them a certain weight to meet so they have to show discipline and capacity to change otherwise they will just regain even after the surgery.
The super restrictive diet isn't just to lose weight before surgery. It is to prepare for life after surgery. In order for bariatric surgery to be successful the person will have to restrict for LIFE. This is the reason only 5% of gastric bypass patients at the 600 lb level maintain weight loss over 5 years out. "Normal " eating creeps back in, the stomach stretches out and the weight comes back. Most surgeons won't take those cases because the dedication it takes to be successful is so low. It's hard. Very hard as you found out.
My friend went though a gastric sleeve and according to his doc, the diet beforehand is meant to shrink their liver down so they can be easily operated on so weight loss isn't the only goal
Yup I heard the same thing. The exact diet depends on the doctor or hospital treating them. I've seen one who had a huge liver and they only gave him milk to drink for 2-3 weeks before the surgery and a few weeks after the surgery. For dessert he had Jello made with milk instead of water. He actually liked those and looked forward to them every day. A little flavor besides milk. LOL Not the diet for me. I can't drink milk.
I was over 400lbs and I put myself on this 1200 calorie a day diet. no flour, or refined sugars and the weight dramatically dropped off over the time of 4 months, it was extremely rough at the beginning but became accustomed after. You just have to have alot of self discipline and mental courage to succeed.
@johnathonpetersen5885 your are doing great. Good health to you. I was overweight by about 30 lbs .that was 17 yesrs ago . People think i have been slim all my life. .
That's why I can't imagine it would work, because the people on the show for sure don't have that self discipline, I don't get it. I could never do that. 😂😂
I found calorie restriction is much easier if you have way more protein. Once the sugar cravings go, your body is aggressively craving protein. If you change the balance to satiate the protein craving, the hunger pangs are reduced
Yeah, I'm on high protein 1600 Cal diet with intermittent fasting (4 hour eating window) and 24 hour fasts with only one meal every other day of the week where I usually only eat about 1200 Cal, for over a year now and most of the time I'm not hungry even at the end of the 24 hour fasts.
Totally agree. Anytime I want to “cheat” I crave cheap steaks or maybe some flank with some tortillas instead. I never want sugary snacks anymore except some gummies once in awhile.
I was thinking something like preparation for the operation needs to play a role in this, because otherwise the calorie deficite is just waay to high to be healthy
Well not just that but 600 pounds on your heart is so much pressure and they don’t need your heart to go into shock…I’ve seen that happen on the show…very scary
It also will decrease their chance of mortality in the surgery. That said, I don’t understand why they have to lose it so fast. A 1200 cal diet for a 700lb guy is not realistic or healthy or reasonable. I guess it’s a health emergency though.
Speaking from experience as a bariatric patient I can honestly say that it is more of a mental challenge than it is physical. I weighed over 450 pounds at my heaviest, 436 pounds day of surgery and I now weigh 293 and I am 7 months post op and still losing. I eat about 1000 calories a day, no sugar, and minimal carbs (usually veggies and fiber) YOU HAVE TO BE MENTALLY READY IN ORDER TO SUCCEED!! The surgery does restrict at first but you can re-stretch your stomach over time . YOU HAVE TO WANT IT!! Your why has to be more important than the food. It's that simple
Congratulations on your success. I don''t know HOW anyone could stay on a starvation diet of only 1000 calories a day for the rest of their life. #1 they would be malnourished. #2 they would be cranky and having hunger pangs all day and night. A friend of mine who was 375 pounds had bypass surgery but then she would go to the coffee shop and buy a BIG HUGE PASTRY - she was really "sloppy" about her food portions and kept on eating tons of processed highly industrialized food. I kept my mouth shut, and minded my own business but I really think if somebody is going to have the gastric bypass surgery - it means sticking to devotion to eating healthy food and smaller reasonable portions for LIFE. I'm at 6:22 and Will is in the supermarket and is struggling with the "NO SNACKS" rule and he buys a pint of crappy Halo Top ice cream - it is really RUBBISH - Halo Top ice cream is ultra-crap ingredients, very processed, highly industrialzed processed food. Rebel brand of ice cream is far healthier and not all the rubbish ingredienents that Halo Top ice cream has - heck just take a banana, freeze it, then put it in a blender with some cacao powder, vanilla, cinnamon - very high fiber, low cal, nutrient dense DIY home made ice cream substitute.
@@colleenwhalen-pg7un an adult human can live very well on 1,000 calories and not be malnourished. Please educate yourself before spreading this information.
What gets me about this is that for a lot of us (older smaller framed women), 1200 calories is maintenance. I did my basal metabolic rate testing with the respiration machine, and it was 1170. So on a normal day,, with my sedentary office job and commute, if I don’t work out. I’m humming along at 1300calories or 1350 maybe if I’m walking around a bit. If I regularly eat a surplus of even 50 to 100 calories more than that and I’m going through a period of not exercising, I start to gain fat. Fast. So welcome to the regular life of a small post menopausal woman. Always hungry!!!!
that sounds so hard maybe get like a walking pad to increase ur tdee so u could eat more. ive gotten one and its sooo helpful it helps u burn so much calories! I do like an hour per day with breaks between, just brisk walking to get the steps in so I can eat more and maintain
Yes I was going to say this. I am post meno, 5 feet tall. I currently need to loose 20 pounds so I was attempting to eat 1000 calories a day which only has me loosing 1/2 pound a week. It is nearly impossible.
Premenopausal, but extremely short woman here with a similar TDEE. I had the same thought. It isn't easy to stay so low on calories, it really restricts what you can eat. I love potato chips but if I want them I have to measure out a small bowl and skip half a day of eating lol.
50 Year, 5 foot tall weight trainer here. I am currently cutting by eating 1400 instead of my usual 2500 per day maintenance. Your metabolism speeds up with higher caloric intake, but it is WHAT you eat and WHEN you eat that keeps the fat off. Luckily for me, I am a butcher's daughter, so I live on fatty meat and 6 eggs per day without picking up an ounce. Never hungry and can go without eating for long periods of time before hunger kicks in.
When I've made diet changes, I have found that adding good healthy choices that make me feel full vs. restricting has been more effective. It is also sustainable for me.
Our brains like the idea of adding more than subtracting. Instead of thinking "take away carbs, take away sugar" I think it's mentally easier to add fiber, add protein, add water. Eventually, the protein, fiber, and water keep you fuller longer and you naturally cut out the carbs and sugar bc you're not hungry or craving as much.
As someone who had bariatric surgery 6 months ago and is down almost 100 lbs, the 1200 calories is accurate but Im still able to eat protein bars/shakes, carbs, fruit, and occasionally fun foods like healthier ice cream. I was so scared I would never be able to enjoy food again but my program is so similar to a regular healthy diet, just in smaller portions because that’s all the new stomach can hold. It’s all about balance, finding what works for you and more importantly, changing your mindset, your relationship with food and addressing the root cause of BED or food addiction. It was the best decision I ever made for myself and my only regret is I didn’t do it sooner. Funny video and I definitely would have had the same reaction both pre and post op about that too many vegetables salad.
I had gastric sleeve 5 years ago and still can’t eat full meals but you can gain weight back if you get in habits of chips and chocolate again. Empty foods don’t fill. Went from 300 to 140 and now I fluctuate between 140 and 160 sometimes
@msjkramey I had sleeve in 2015. It's not weird at all. You eat until full. And feel the sensation of full. It's quite nice. The worst part for me is that I stress so much about how much food I waste. I waste 3 tines what I eat. No way around it. You can't make just 3/4 to 1cup of food.
This diet is not about losing weight; it's about the individual showing commitment to a lifestyle change before undergoing surgery. The extremes an individual has to go through in order to reach 600 lbs. requires an extreme level of reprogramming, dedication and discipline. If they can't show commitment before the surgery then they'll just gain the weight back post operation.
MOST people gain the weight back post-surgery, even if they follow the "plan," because your body adapts. Mine did both for that surgery and Lasik. Went right back to where it started.
You can't commit to being hungry and in a calorie deficit for the rest of your life. That's not sustainable. And a lot of people can jump into extremes--for a while. That doesn't prove anything
@@msjkramey It's not for the rest of one's life; it's to prove one can change their lifestyle before undergoing surgery that can result in complications.
@@michaelrivera6958 what does doing something unsustainable for a brief period prove about real long-term change and improvement? If I sprint as fast as I can for a bit that doesn't prove that I can run a marathon
As a person who has had gastric bypass, a 1200 calorie diet is much easier after the surgery than before, but it is possible. 310 to 170 and I have kept it off for 22 years.
This diet would have me referred back to Eating Disorder services. I actually used to do less at one point, and apart from all the physical symptoms of starvation and nutrient deficiencies, I felt alright. I wasn't hungry, at one point I did have enough energy to be fairly active. That didn't last though. I kept cutting calories and I didn't have the energy to go from my bed to my desk, I was in pain a lot and I was so spaced out, it wasn't safe to go out by myself.
This kind of diet also led me down the ED rabbit hole. I am recovered now after a lot of therapy and work with my dietician. It’s crazy how this diet (for someone not 600lbs) can cause so many health issues. Idk if my heart will recover. It’s been 4 years and I still have no hunger cues
Why do all you ED people have the compulsion to come bragging about it and WHINING and predicting doom and gloom. STOP IT.And if you're eating nutrient dense food you don't have deficiencies or need high calories. PIcture a stomach full of vegetables instead of one table spoon of oil. Pathetic you still never learned IF YOU HAVE ED.
My aunt died from complications due to the surgery you discussed in this video. It’s very sad. I lost 75 pounds in 6 months and am happy I never came close to considering that surgery.
It strikes me that if someone can stick to such a restrictive diet, why not just continue it and skip the surgery? Sounds like that's maybe what you did.
I just found your channel like a week ago and I love how genuine and realistic you are about weight loss, etc. I just received pretty bad results from my doctor about my health and I'm starting my weight loss journey today. I just can't believe I let myself get like this. I'm at 250 pounds and my goal is 160. Your videos are helping me a lot! Here we go.
It really helps to watch a lot of fitness content, imo. You gotta immerse yourself in this world and get a little obsessed with it. 'Fake it till you make it', kinda. In your head, you need to become that fit, healthy person you want to become, because if your brain believes that that is you, your behavior will follow.
Also, don't worry about optimizing every little thing about your health/fitness. Start small and make good habits. Small changes + Consistency + Time = Results.
so many people succeed though? David Goggins practically ate 1000 calories and lost more then 100lbs in 3 months. Of course you know more then a doctor Lol
@@ceagles1001 i dont think hes wrong, the problem with putting it on a tv show like this and not showing better diets after they do the initial extreme diet to lose the 60lbs is the fact that people believe this is the only way to diet. 1200 calories a day doesnt work for everybody and it's not a consistent way to eat for the rest of your life, which makes for very easy relapses to overeating. its not sustainable past the initial 60 pounds they need to lose for the surgery.
You're missing the biggest point of the diet. Will the patient have the instant willpower to switch gears to a super low restrictive diet and not fail. Also, when you're super morbidly obese, you're very life hangs in the balance. An incredibly restrictive diet to reverse the damage as quickly as possible is necessary for the patients very survival. This diet isn't for normal people trying to lose their love handles. It's for someone who has a million calories in reserves that they need to quickly dump.
I think you are the one missing the point of the diet here. You can't combat an eating disorder with will power and excessive hypocaloric diet. The show is completely bs and made for entertainment, not to help patients but to make fun of them and extract some juicy content for the viewers.
@@BotDetector-44 Someone brought up that it's a modern day freak show, and I have to agree. We say we wouldn't watch freak shows today, but we make people who make this kind of content into millionaires. The YT channel white underbelly does the same thing with people who are addicts, and it's all so gross.
It's actually a specific diet before bariatric surgery meant to shrink the liver to make the surgery possible without the liver getting in the way. Doctors don't force people to prove their willpower before performing life-saving surgery.
Bro 1000 sisters is very entertaining and motivating as well. Honestly Tammy has been killing it lately, down several hundred pounds and still losing fat down after surgery. more importantly she is getting more positive and doing more things outside of her comfort zone, and even trying to support and push her sister. Amazing stuff!
10:03 yes, it’s too restrictive for most people, but Dr. Now is trying to get the weight off of his patients as quickly as possible. He’s trying to get them to a safer weight to do the weight loss surgery. It’s literally lifesaving.
in theory yeah but seeing as this is way too restrictive on calories and its a huge life style change going from 5000cal a day to 1200 its no wonder most of the patients on the show fail on this diet. and most of the time they're chemically addicted to fast food too, I feel the better option is to restrict their diet to 2000 then slowly lower it week by week and still let them eat fast food but keep it within the calorie target and replace the snacks with fruits. yeah it might take a little longer to lose the weight but atleast they can stick to it
@@majorchaos5000I think it is more about judging determination and serving as a filter to show who is capable of following the strict diet that the operation requires and who isn't. These operations are not cheap, and the number that can be performed per year is limited.
@@majorchaos5000 You're aware these people are a single infection away from dying all the time? Taking a few weeks longer can literally kill them. They're that heavy. I think that's the part people seem to be forgetting when looking at this diet.
@@twanvanderdonk2504 again most of them dont even stick to it even though they know its killing them and end up reverting back to their old ways very quickly. I think it's better if they're still gonna eat fast food may as do it in a deficit, then when they see they're losing weight I can guarantee they wanna stick to it and make the switch to a much cleaner healthier diet. It's more mentally challenging than you realise especially when their dopamine has been hijacked from all the chemicals from fast food. Its like asking a heroine user to go cold turkey, it never usually never ends well
@@majorchaos5000 Not in theory; in practice. Many of these people are 700+ lbs and severely immobile. They have heart issues, lung issues, are constantly stewing in their own bacteria, etc. They literally do not have time to lose 1-2 lbs a week. They are basically at death's door. On top of that, a bypass isn't a cureall; even a remarkably tiny stomach can be stretched right back out. So this diet is not only to put away the guillotines hanging over their necks, but also to force them to show the level of committment required to sustain the lifestyle required to attain a healthier weight. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Also of note- the show did change later to also include therapy as a required element to the plan which is great because you can't get to 600lbs with a normal mental state.
Hi Will! My name is Carlos and I am following you from Brazil. I had a bypass surgery, pretty similar to those shown on Dr Now`s TV program. My path started 18 months ago and I was almost 400 pounds. Nowadays, I am 187 lbs. You and some other fitness influencers helped me a lot. It is a very difficult journey to bring a new meaning to our relationships with food and exercise but these two aspects are mandatory for success. Personally, I think we all should be very careful with extreme diets. It is better to do something a lit bit less aggressive and more sustainable than trying to suppress cravings and headaches all day. If you ever would like to connect with some one willing to share this experience, feel free to contact me. I think we can inspire even more people together. :) See ya! 😄
6:26 Holy shit the type of chemicals they must pump into Halo Top over in Canada. In Australia that exact same flavour is about 320 calories which is pretty good as ice creams go for a whole Pint? Tub? But 140 is insanely low on calories.
@@mainaccount0007 no you aren't. It wasn't obvious. The label was there to mislead. Big writing "140 cals" Itty bitty small writing "per 100ml" That's what they do to us all :(
It is a radical lifestyle change, but that's what you have to do when you're faced with almost certain death in 10-15 years. You don't really have the time to pull a low deficit + exercise plan over years. Every year at that weight is putting so much stress on your heart and cardiovascular system that you're losing many years of life. I dropped down to a periodic fasting and 1500 calorie diet at 300 lbs while cutting out 100% of processed foods, alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine. It was pretty intense the first few months but you get used to it and then your health problems go away and it feels normal. There's nothing like facing the reality of a stroke in 10-15 years to motivate change.
I eat 1200 calories a day. My breakfast is around 200ish calories, coffee for about 100 and then I eat one massive meal after work around 6pm which ends up being roughly 800 calories and the last 100 calories is for snacks and stuff if I want them. Low frequency is definitely the way to go so you're basically fasting for most of the day. Lost about 14kg in the last 9 months and feel absolutely amazing physically, mentally and emotionally. I make it sustainable for myself by not restricting the items I eat too much. I'll eat basically anything as long as it doesn't exceed my caloric intake i.e. portion control. It has been great for resetting and retraining my body and mind. I'm much more mindful of my choices, have significantly reduced cravings, and I genuinely enjoy food much more now. I think that's what Dr. Now might be trying to do with the patients to see if they're ready before the surgery.
@ well when I said that I meant more compared to my experience because I’ve been cutting for a couple of times and every time I was able to lose 20 to 25 kg in about five months maximum. So compare to me what you achieved seems low but that is not me saying that what you achieved is any less of importance because it’s great that you lost weight the way you wanted of course! I just meant compare to my experience. Everybody is different of course I fully understand that

I found calorie restriction is much easier if you have way more protein. Once the sugar cravings go, your body is aggressively craving protein. If you change the balance to satiate the protein craving, the hunger pangs are reduced
Yeah, I'm on high protein 1600 Cal diet with intermittent fasting (4 hour eating window) and 24 hour fasts with only one meal every other day of the week where I usually only eat about 1200 Cal, for over a year now and most of the time I'm not hungry even at the end of the 24 hour fasts.
Yeah the protein helps you feel fuller, longer
Totally agree. Anytime I want to “cheat” I crave cheap steaks or maybe some flank with some tortillas instead. I never want sugary snacks anymore except some gummies once in awhile.
@@OlujaDoTokijawhat do you have for breakfast and dinner? Like most commonly
@@cottoncandace7704 I skip breakfast. For dinner I usually eat vegetable soups, lean pork, beef or chicken, sometimes fish, and a couple fruits.

I discovered the hard way that eating two time a day is way better on a low calorie diet in my opinion. Makes it way easier for me.
Real
Yes, it's much easier.
The reason they need you to do such a restrictive diet is because they need the liver to shrink and get out of the way for surgery.
I was thinking something like preparation for the operation needs to play a role in this, because otherwise the calorie deficite is just waay to high to be healthy
The only thing shrinking is my will to live on this diet
@@robbysawLMAO
Well not just that but 600 pounds on your heart is so much pressure and they don’t need your heart to go into shock…I’ve seen that happen on the show…very scary
It also will decrease their chance of mortality in the surgery. That said, I don’t understand why they have to lose it so fast. A 1200 cal diet for a 700lb guy is not realistic or healthy or reasonable. I guess it’s a health emergency though.
Speaking from experience as a bariatric patient I can honestly say that it is more of a mental challenge than it is physical. I weighed over 450 pounds at my heaviest, 436 pounds day of surgery and I now weigh 293 and I am 7 months post op and still losing. I eat about 1000 calories a day, no sugar, and minimal carbs (usually veggies and fiber) YOU HAVE TO BE MENTALLY READY IN ORDER TO SUCCEED!! The surgery does restrict at first but you can re-stretch your stomach over time . YOU HAVE TO WANT IT!! Your why has to be more important than the food. It's that simple
Wow, God Bless you. You must have incredible willpower. It took me two times to quit smoking with God helping me! Prayers you hit your goal weight.🙏💕
Congratulations on your success. I don''t know HOW anyone could stay on a starvation diet of only 1000 calories a day for the rest of their life. #1 they would be malnourished. #2 they would be cranky and having hunger pangs all day and night.
A friend of mine who was 375 pounds had bypass surgery but then she would go to the coffee shop and buy a BIG HUGE PASTRY - she was really "sloppy" about her food portions and kept on eating tons of processed highly industrialized food. I kept my mouth shut, and minded my own business but I really think if somebody is going to have the gastric bypass surgery - it means sticking to devotion to eating healthy food and smaller reasonable portions for LIFE.
I'm at 6:22 and Will is in the supermarket and is struggling with the "NO SNACKS" rule and he buys a pint of crappy Halo Top ice cream - it is really RUBBISH - Halo Top ice cream is ultra-crap ingredients, very processed, highly industrialzed processed food.
Rebel brand of ice cream is far healthier and not all the rubbish ingredienents that Halo Top ice cream has - heck just take a banana, freeze it, then put it in a blender with some cacao powder, vanilla, cinnamon - very high fiber, low cal, nutrient dense DIY home made ice cream substitute.

What gets me about this is that for a lot of us (older smaller framed women), 1200 calories is maintenance. I did my basal metabolic rate testing with the respiration machine, and it was 1170. So on a normal day,, with my sedentary office job and commute, if I don’t work out. I’m humming along at 1300calories or 1350 maybe if I’m walking around a bit. If I regularly eat a surplus of even 50 to 100 calories more than that and I’m going through a period of not exercising, I start to gain fat. Fast. So welcome to the regular life of a small post menopausal woman. Always hungry!!!!
that sounds so hard maybe get like a walking pad to increase ur tdee so u could eat more. ive gotten one and its sooo helpful it helps u burn so much calories! I do like an hour per day with breaks between, just brisk walking to get the steps in so I can eat more and maintain
Yes I was going to say this. I am post meno, 5 feet tall. I currently need to loose 20 pounds so I was attempting to eat 1000 calories a day which only has me loosing 1/2 pound a week. It is nearly impossible.
Premenopausal, but extremely short woman here with a similar TDEE. I had the same thought. It isn't easy to stay so low on calories, it really restricts what you can eat. I love potato chips but if I want them I have to measure out a small bowl and skip half a day of eating lol.
50 Year, 5 foot tall weight trainer here.
I am currently cutting by eating 1400 instead of my usual 2500 per day maintenance.
Your metabolism speeds up with higher caloric intake, but it is WHAT you eat and WHEN you eat that keeps the fat off.
Luckily for me, I am a butcher's daughter, so I live on fatty meat and 6 eggs per day without picking up an ounce. Never hungry and can go without eating for long periods of time before hunger kicks in.

When I've made diet changes, I have found that adding good healthy choices that make me feel full vs. restricting has been more effective. It is also sustainable for me.
Being hungry just makes you more likely to cheat. And you can't stop thinking about food!
I will "binge" on salad. I did last night at Olive Garden, minus the croutons for the pigeons.
Our brains like the idea of adding more than subtracting. Instead of thinking "take away carbs, take away sugar" I think it's mentally easier to add fiber, add protein, add water. Eventually, the protein, fiber, and water keep you fuller longer and you naturally cut out the carbs and sugar bc you're not hungry or craving as much.

I was just coming to the comments to see if anyone else had noticed.
WTF was that?
Looked strictly like Case of demonic possession from a typical horror 🎥
As someone who had bariatric surgery 6 months ago and is down almost 100 lbs, the 1200 calories is accurate but Im still able to eat protein bars/shakes, carbs, fruit, and occasionally fun foods like healthier ice cream. I was so scared I would never be able to enjoy food again but my program is so similar to a regular healthy diet, just in smaller portions because that’s all the new stomach can hold. It’s all about balance, finding what works for you and more importantly, changing your mindset, your relationship with food and addressing the root cause of BED or food addiction. It was the best decision I ever made for myself and my only regret is I didn’t do it sooner. Funny video and I definitely would have had the same reaction both pre and post op about that too many vegetables salad.
Is it weird having your stomach fill up so quickly? Like is there a mental disconnect from your body?
ROOTING FOR YOU FROM WASHINGTON! sounds like you have a really really good plan going! Stick with it, and you got this!

I had gastric sleeve 5 years ago and still can’t eat full meals but you can gain weight back if you get in habits of chips and chocolate again. Empty foods don’t fill. Went from 300 to 140 and now I fluctuate between 140 and 160 sometimes
@msjkramey I had sleeve in 2015. It's not weird at all. You eat until full. And feel the sensation of full. It's quite nice. The worst part for me is that I stress so much about how much food I waste. I waste 3 tines what I eat. No way around it. You can't make just 3/4 to 1cup of food.

This diet is not about losing weight; it's about the individual showing commitment to a lifestyle change before undergoing surgery. The extremes an individual has to go through in order to reach 600 lbs. requires an extreme level of reprogramming, dedication and discipline. If they can't show commitment before the surgery then they'll just gain the weight back post operation.
MOST people gain the weight back post-surgery, even if they follow the "plan," because your body adapts. Mine did both for that surgery and Lasik. Went right back to where it started.
You can't commit to being hungry and in a calorie deficit for the rest of your life. That's not sustainable. And a lot of people can jump into extremes--for a while. That doesn't prove anything
@@msjkramey It's not for the rest of one's life; it's to prove one can change their lifestyle before undergoing surgery that can result in complications.

Congrats bro thats badass
well done you stick with the new lifestyle 💪🏻
That's badass
This diet would have me referred back to Eating Disorder services.
I actually used to do less at one point, and apart from all the physical symptoms of starvation and nutrient deficiencies, I felt alright. I wasn't hungry, at one point I did have enough energy to be fairly active.
That didn't last though. I kept cutting calories and I didn't have the energy to go from my bed to my desk, I was in pain a lot and I was so spaced out, it wasn't safe to go out by myself.
This kind of diet also led me down the ED rabbit hole. I am recovered now after a lot of therapy and work with my dietician. It’s crazy how this diet (for someone not 600lbs) can cause so many health issues. Idk if my heart will recover. It’s been 4 years and I still have no hunger cues
Why do all you ED people have the compulsion to come bragging about it and WHINING and predicting doom and gloom. STOP IT.And if you're eating nutrient dense food you don't have deficiencies or need high calories. PIcture a stomach full of vegetables instead of one table spoon of oil. Pathetic you still never learned IF YOU HAVE ED.
Same here. I barely survived... flat lined

@@ceagles1001 i dont think hes wrong, the problem with putting it on a tv show like this and not showing better diets after they do the initial extreme diet to lose the 60lbs is the fact that people believe this is the only way to diet. 1200 calories a day doesnt work for everybody and it's not a consistent way to eat for the rest of your life, which makes for very easy relapses to overeating. its not sustainable past the initial 60 pounds they need to lose for the surgery.

You're missing the biggest point of the diet. Will the patient have the instant willpower to switch gears to a super low restrictive diet and not fail. Also, when you're super morbidly obese, you're very life hangs in the balance. An incredibly restrictive diet to reverse the damage as quickly as possible is necessary for the patients very survival. This diet isn't for normal people trying to lose their love handles. It's for someone who has a million calories in reserves that they need to quickly dump.
well said harry
I think you are the one missing the point of the diet here. You can't combat an eating disorder with will power and excessive hypocaloric diet. The show is completely bs and made for entertainment, not to help patients but to make fun of them and extract some juicy content for the viewers.
@@BotDetector-44 Someone brought up that it's a modern day freak show, and I have to agree. We say we wouldn't watch freak shows today, but we make people who make this kind of content into millionaires.

It's actually a specific diet before bariatric surgery meant to shrink the liver to make the surgery possible without the liver getting in the way. Doctors don't force people to prove their willpower before performing life-saving surgery.

Bro 1000 sisters is very entertaining and motivating as well.

Amazing stuff!
lol when you mentioned 1000 sisters i legit thought you meant something else haha
Bro weight loss or not those two can be goofy together
I follow her story through Kiana.
10:03 yes, it’s too restrictive for most people, but Dr. Now is trying to get the weight off of his patients as quickly as possible. He’s trying to get them to a safer weight to do the weight loss surgery. It’s literally lifesaving.
in theory yeah but seeing as this is way too restrictive on calories and its a huge life style change going from 5000cal a day to 1200 its no wonder most of the patients on the show fail on this diet. and most of the time they're chemically addicted to fast food too, I feel the better option is to restrict their diet to 2000 then slowly lower it week by week and still let them eat fast food but keep it within the calorie target and replace the snacks with fruits. yeah it might take a little longer to lose the weight but atleast they can stick to it
@@majorchaos5000I think it is more about judging determination and serving as a filter to show who is capable of following the strict diet that the operation requires and who isn't. These operations are not cheap, and the number that can be performed per year is limited.
@@majorchaos5000 You're aware these people are a single infection away from dying all the time? Taking a few weeks longer can literally kill them. They're that heavy. I think that's the part people seem to be forgetting when looking at this diet.
@@twanvanderdonk2504 again most of them dont even stick to it even though they know its killing them and end up reverting back to their old ways very quickly. I think it's better if they're still gonna eat fast food may as do it in a deficit, then when they see they're losing weight I can guarantee they wanna stick to it and make the switch to a much cleaner healthier diet. It's more mentally challenging than you realise especially when their dopamine has been hijacked from all the chemicals from fast food. Its like asking a heroine user to go cold turkey, it never usually never ends well
@@majorchaos5000 Not in theory; in practice. Many of these people are 700+ lbs and severely immobile. They have heart issues, lung issues, are constantly stewing in their own bacteria, etc. They literally do not have time to lose 1-2 lbs a week. They are basically at death's door. On top of that, a bypass isn't a cureall; even a remarkably tiny stomach can be stretched right back out. So this diet is not only to put away the guillotines hanging over their necks, but also to force them to show the level of committment required to sustain the lifestyle required to attain a healthier weight. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Also of note- the show did change later to also include therapy as a required element to the plan which is great because you can't get to 600lbs with a normal mental state.

Hi Will! My name is Carlos and I am following you from Brazil. I had a bypass surgery, pretty similar to those shown on Dr Now`s TV program.
My path started 18 months ago and I was almost 400 pounds. Nowadays, I am 187 lbs.
You and some other fitness influencers helped me a lot. It is a very difficult journey to bring a new meaning to our relationships with food and exercise but these two aspects are mandatory for success.
Personally, I think we all should be very careful with extreme diets. It is better to do something a lit bit less aggressive and more sustainable than trying to suppress cravings and headaches all day. If you ever would like to connect with some one willing to share this experience, feel free to contact me. I think we can inspire even more people together. :)

It is a radical lifestyle change, but that's what you have to do when you're faced with almost certain death in 10-15 years. You don't really have the time to pull a low deficit + exercise plan over years. Every year at that weight is putting so much stress on your heart and cardiovascular system that you're losing many years of life. I dropped down to a periodic fasting and 1500 calorie diet at 300 lbs while cutting out 100% of processed foods, alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine. It was pretty intense the first few months but you get used to it and then your health problems go away and it feels normal. There's nothing like facing the reality of a stroke in 10-15 years to motivate change.
"chicken boob" got me.....🤣🤣🤣
4:14 grilled stake 🤣
I eat 1200 calories a day. My breakfast is around 200ish calories, coffee for about 100 and then I eat one massive meal after work around 6pm which ends up being roughly 800 calories and the last 100 calories is for snacks and stuff if I want them. Low frequency is definitely the way to go so you're basically fasting for most of the day. Lost about 14kg in the last 9 months and feel absolutely amazing physically, mentally and emotionally. I make it sustainable for myself by not restricting the items I eat too much. I'll eat basically anything as long as it doesn't exceed my caloric intake i.e. portion control. It has been great for resetting and retraining my body and mind. I'm much more mindful of my choices, have significantly reduced cravings, and I genuinely enjoy food much more now. I think that's what Dr. Now might be trying to do with the patients to see if they're ready before the surgery.
