@@10n0 hell yeah, 6 months ago I started keto omad lifting at 255 and now I'm at 191 around 14% body fat with more strength and muscle, my target is in the mid 180s and then healthy bulk with protein fat and excess calories and see how far natural I can go
Love your channel. I am not keto, but, I am very low sugar/very low carbs. This works for me. I started at over 300 lbs and today weigh under 130 lbs. Food was killing me. I needed to get educated to save myself. I weigh less now than I did age 13. Thanks Thomas. God bless you xx
@@phines93 No, its not. Keto is specifically very high fat, moderate protein, very low carbs. You can be low carb, high protein, low fat, and not be keto. Just because it is low carbs, doesnt mean it is keto. Watching even one video on keto would tell you this.
@@RealHankShill yea thats bullshit cause not every keto video specifies the ratios keto mainly has low carbs in mind thats the overall concept of the diet. Low carbs, but yes you are correct. Except for your smartass remark which you reached for cause not every keto video goes over that my guy
@@phines93 A generic low carb diet is more similar to an Atkins diet than a ketogenic one. A keto diet is about getting your body into ketosis and staying there for the duration of the diet. A keto diet can be more difficult than a regular low carb diet because you have to constantly monitor if your body is in ketosis, much like how diabetics have to constantly monitor their blood sugar levels. Atkins allows for an unlimited amount of protein while Keto limits it to 20% of your daily intake. Ketosis does happen during the first phases of an Atkins diet, but once you hit phase 3 you can start slowly reintroducing carbs whereas Keto always limits carbs.
@@-._.-KRiS-._.- yea but low carbs is what gets you into ketosis so i wasnt wrong..you niggas just want to get technical which is fine..still think the dude above me is a bitch just trying to be cool talking about " if you watched even one video" which ive been subscribed to thomas for a while and he doesnt go over the specifics every video the main goal he always points out is low carbs so yea. But its whatever you're correct though
What exercise did you do and what foods did you eat while you’re on a diet because I been on a diet for 3 months now and I was 280 but I’m 270 but it goes up to 273 and back down and up and down my goal is 180 so can you help me?
Thank you for this video. I discovered Keto because of a ad of yours on Facebook. Alittle over a year later I have lost 110lbs and so has my husband. I cant thank you enough for your videos and the content you bring.
Mrsandmom5 watch more of Thomas’ videos, also Dr Berg is good for beginners, he has a channel too. It will be one year in July since I went on the Ketogenic way of eating, I’ve lost 60 lbs, no longer T2 diabetic and my High Blood Pressure issue is resolved. It’s a very doable way of eating and is best combined with Intermittent Fasting. If I can do it, you can, too. I haven’t felt this good in literally decades, good luck!
Also watch Dr. Ken Berry. I started by cutting out sugar and carbs.i have myself a goal date to have my sugar gone. I was addicted to sugary coffee. Then I did tons of research. Followed many channels. Joined some keto group's on FB. Unfollowed all of them. Too much judgment. I forgave myself when I messed up and started over when I needed to. We are only human.
@@mrsandmom5947 keep it simple. Dont fall for all the "you need to buy this gimmick" meat, veggies, good healthy fats. Research research and more research. Find what works for you within the perimeters. Keep carbs low.
@@wtglb I agree, Dr Berg also gives great advice to get healthy. It is not about "diet" it is about changing. And actually pretty easy way to start. I have lost 50 lbs in the last 3 months, but that is just how my body works. I gave myself permission to take a while and not fad diet, and after I took that pressure off of me, the weight just started falling off. Doing the right things, eating the right things and not living from cheat day to cheat day, which so many do, making getting healthy just a way to fad diet. I eat well, and I eat plenty, I don't count calories, but I do stick to lowest of carbs, no cheating, which not eating carbs makes it easier to not cheat. You don't feel starving because you are not restricting calories to starvation levels. I have about 30 more pounds to lose, but I have not weighed myself at all to keep score, I did measurements at the beginning, but now just rely on my clothes getting bigger to tell me that I am doing the right thing eating wise. And Thomas is so right, this isn't about a "diet" fad or otherwise, but a good change to living healthy and not starving to do it.
I love all of your videos. But these videos where you talk about where you started are incredibly affirming for me, and I really appreciate them. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I agree. I used to see him & think he was probably all brawn & no brain (sorry Thomas! Cringe!). So appreciated hearing him be so down to earth & open about his past...& also how nice he was during the Walmart Budget shopping spree.
Agreed. I didn't believe you before. Thanks for the "before" pics. Like someone else stated, you carried the weight well. I'm at 255 and need to be down at 180. Here we go.
You in your car in front of the “golden Arch’s” with 4 burgers with you. Your being real intimate with your conversation. Resonates with me and my problems with weight. I’m done I’m broken and it’s time to change.
Hey Brody I’m 30 years old 280.. I want to lose 100lbs also.. live in Atlanta and go to school at ga state.. rn I’m working security on the set of Ozarks 12hr shifts and I’m driving sprinter van routes.. where should I start
Edward Castine Your diet, food is the Main thing people forget, focus on staying away from fast food, eat clean meaning not greasy foods. Like chicken, vegetables. Give yourself an hour to work out, run a little, or do push ups and sit ups to start out. Go to a gym. You can do it man, I was 240 and I Lost 40 pounds in 5 months mainly from controlling what I ate and working out an hour a day
The keto diet reduced my inflammation to the point that I went from being bedridden to running a small farm. I have double knee arthritis and spinal stenosis.
The easiest way to lose weight is lose 2-3 pounds a week. By the time you know it 10 weeks in you already 20-30 pounds. Consistency is key and changes don’t come over night.
ineedhoez you know you can only lose a certain amount of weight per day depending on your body fat once you pass that amount it’s just water weight and muscle. There is 31.5 calories in 1 pound of fat, if a 300lb person has a 40%body fat he has 120lbs of body fat, you do 120x31.5=3780 calories/body fat, 3780 divided 3500/ amount of calories in 1 pound = 1.08lbs of body fat you can lose per day and that number goes down as you lose more body fat. Another example is 200lb person with 25% = 50lbs of fat, 50x31.5=1575calories, 1575/3500= .45lbs of fat you can lose in a day. I wish you can you lose 1 a day but you just can’t do that without losing muscle mass when you get to those lower BF%
I was 280lbs on the 30th Oct. 2018. Now 206 lbs. My goal is to be close to 180~185 for 1st November '19. You're guidance through the last few months have given me a brilliant insight into weight loss and more recently Keto. I Gym 3 days a week Mon, Wed, Fri, @6.00am till 6.30 with PT. at work for 7. I mean it truly... My life has changed. I thank you for just being there as a reassuring voice 👍
Modelmotorsport (Punch) congrats on the weight loss! I started my keto and IF journey on the exact same day: Oct. 30th, 2018. Thomas was the first person I started watching on UA-cam in regards to keto & IF. I soon started watching Dr Berg after that. Thomas DeLauer and Dr. Berg are the two primary people I follow on UA-cam, and they have both changed my life and helped me to lose 40 lbs. Keto and IF are the easiest things I have ever done in regards to weight loss. This is truly a lifestyle that I know I can stick with. 👍
That was a very brave and personal video. I'll bet that your story really resonated with a lot of people. It really hit me where I live. Good for you, Thomas. I am in hour 26 of my fast. Keep up your good work.
You just described where I am now. 310 at 6 ft. 50 years old and tried. I currently fall into this bad habit. Inspirational to hear you've been there and not just another dude talking the talk. My respect. Thanks for what you do. 👍
Buddy try keto and intermittent fasting. The first 3 days are hard, but the high fat with no carbs will kill hunger pangs and the addiction to sugar starts to go away with the hunger pangs (and provided you're in a deficit the fat how's pretty quickly)
This is literally who I am right now.. I walk around everyday feeling like a failure... in every aspect of my life. I went from being 200 lbs to around 292 lbs within a span of less than two years. The way you describe yourself going to fast food chains where people wont recognize you.. I do that almost every day. If I feel like im going to get recognized at the place Im going today.. ill drive across the city to the same chain of restaurants but, where the employees wont recognize me. That's how embarrassed I am. Its gotten to the point where I don't even look in the mirror anymore, and if I do.. or have to .. I will blur my vision so that I cant really see what I have become. I avoid everyone, and have lost a lot of friends because of this.. because I walk around everyday feeling guilty that I let myself become this person. I know you probably wont see this.. but, you struck a cord with me today. This whole video hits home with me in the worst ways. This is me to a tee. I'm glad you got through it, and became the success and the beacon you are today to so many people. Hopefully one day I can do the same.
I'm really similar too. I had a fair bit of success doing keto last year, and one of the reasons I think was the mental momentum. once you do keto for a full day, see if you can do a second. once you do that it makes you feel kinda powerful .... and you will want to go further. the results are pretty quick on keto and that's where you get the rest of the momentum feeling, which can really carry you through avoiding drive thrus and such.
Same for me when I started. what really helped me so far is eating foods that I like but looking for alternatives. One of the main ones I get it from is Greg Doucette. I have lost 45lbs from 295 to 250 since I started. I'm enjoying my food that I find and not boring like just chicken and broccoli.
You,jason wittrock, goody beats, dr berg dr berry, and fledge fitness helped me with my weight loss was 300 now at 220-225 changed my life thank you sir.
Thomas, you have the BEST channel on UA-cam. I've been watching 35-40 of your videos the last 2 months. Amazing content. I didn't realize your story that you shared here. It means alot to know your journey. I was 4 yrs ago a very unhealthy 250lbs at 6ft tall. So many body pains from top to bottom. At 43 I felt 83. By going full on SCD/Keto diet with zero sugar or flour or gluten etc extreme for 5 months I felt 25 again and dropped 60lbs of unhealthy lifestyle. I've since kept a clean diet and kept most of that off for almost 5 yrs now. Thank you for all of your amazing content. It is the BEST channel on UA-cam. And kudos to your crew behind the scenes. They do top notch work as well. :)
This made me cry. You described me and the struggles that feel like torment. It sucks tho that I've become aware and confronted the triggers and issues. And I feel like I lose constantly to that knowledge. I'd like to know more about the brain inflammation. That was speaking to me but it was kinda short. . Thank you for sharing. It's a great motivation.
Much respect. I am 47 years old and I am barely starting my keto journey and its awesome to see your story and how you overcame. Trying to lose 50 lbs and keep it off. Gives me hope......keep doing your thing. Thanks brotha.
Bravo Thomas !!!.... I've lost 56 lb since January 1st of this year. It was subscribing to your Channel sparked this new journey. I am 52 years old and in some of the best shape of my life. I started on keto on January 1st and have always lifted weights. Two and a half weeks ago I started spin bike classes and I am hooked. All these things are part of my daily lifestyle now and it has to be. I thank you for your knowledge and time.
This video legitimately made me cry. It resonated so much, and hit so close to home it actually hurts. It was healing to watch and know that someone else had been down this exact road, and how you overcame it. I'm on day 2 of keto now and can't wait to see where I end up.
until he responds to kinobody calling him out for bullshit and takes the carbon isotope ratio test to prove his natty status, he's a snake oil salesman.
@@vegetaz1532 who cares if Thomas took some before. It's not what we loved about him after all. Kinobody is just jealous of Thomas cuz nobody wants to buy his products lol.
Hey Thomas, I love these style of videos. It's great to learn about your transformation and see that you've gone through the same challenges many of us have. I'm currently doing the carnivore challenge and loving it! Keep up the great work. Cheers.
Come on....the guy looked like he could bench press 400 pounds for 20 reps just after waking up with a hangover. Fat my ass...yes he had lots of fat but he could also pick up your car with one hand and sweep underneath with a broom with the other.
@@razorfingers Are you saying that because you look like him and want to maintain the illusion that you are not fat? Because he was fat. You do not have to look fat to actually be fat. Larger frames have larger abdominal cavities to hide fat. They also can carry more fat distribution. i.e. I was once near 400 lbs and everyone thought I was MAX 280 just because my frame is built like a tank.
Bravo. You told me what I was doing to sabotage my keto journey. I wasn’t controlling inflammation. I am being inconsistent. Neurons are blocked. A habit I know now I need to change. Bless you Thomas.
Man, my brain injury has literally made going out, impossible. I’m getting back at life, via the ketogenic diet. You and Eric Berg, have saved my life. Thank you
Mrs Aye' thank you! This WOE is my way of life HAS to be. I run,walk,talk, eat, talk better, everything is BETTER when I’m in ketosis. Ive started my channel a couple days ago. I’ll be doing a nutritional video today. Lucas Radovanovici
I have to say you are an inspiration man. I started 2 and a half months ago and have dropped about 46 lbs. These videos have helped me realize mistakes I have been making and help me tweak my meals as well as what to have and what to limit or completely get rid of. Thank you for everything thank you so much
Thank you so much for Filming this video. I’m on a weight loss journey and inflammation has played a huge role is my current health. I can’t wait to implement all your advice and help heal and transform my body.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have been on Keto since March 2019. I am down 57 lbs since my highest weight. 15lbs pre keto 42 with Keto. I still have 70lbs to go. Your experience really hit home. I have been watching your videos for about 3 months. I have gained a lot of information from your videos. My husband has also lost 50lbs since going Keto. Thank you for this video. It is inspirational and is giving me hope to keep going.
Thank you for addressing that is not just about the food it’s about what’s going on in your head..... the relationship with food. Please keep talking about it
This is so real! I used to have such a bad relationship with food but now I have been planning my paleo meals and making smoothies and lost 50 lbs. At a plateau and trying to lose more weight. This was a really good video.
I am really appreciate all of your videos because I can feel your transformation not only from your visible figure but also your priceless words. Although I'm not a native English speaker, your words touched me quite deeply.
Thomas, thank you for your vulnerability. This is the reason you're so relatable. I've learned so much from you. I'm m on a keto journey as well... Started 6'4"-285 lbs & am down to 239 lbs. I tried other keto channels, but yours has truly changed my life. Thank you for all you do for the community.
YES. I was just telling this to a friend last night, though I was actually referring to keto and fasting. Food used to control me. No longer. I am free and it's wonderful.
We as a species have lost control of ourselves. It shows in so many obviously unhealthy and just plain wrong things that we do. Taking control of ourselves is the most important thing any of us can do. Congrats.
With respect to "control over food," when an individual eats lots of foods that turn into sugar, ghrelin, a hunger stimulating hormone, isn't cut off as readily. Endomorphs have it worse though, the effect is even more pronounced. But it turns out, when you lead a low carb lifestyle, ghrelin is cut off much, much more quickly. And I can say that when I switched to a LCHF lifestyle 7 years ago, the difference for me personally was pronounced. In the old days, I could go to a buffet and the signal to stop eating would be my pants pressing against my distended stomach. Now, no matter how hungry I am, there's a distinct "switch" that's turned off much more readily and it doesn't matter how much good food is in front of me, I stop. There's no self-negotiation involved either, neurologically, I'm sated. It's like an invisible hand reaches in and turns off the circuitry in my brain that involves any desire for food.
YES! Same with me! Before keto, as someone who was insulin resistant, I was obsessed by my carb cravings, and never felt sated! But now that I can curb my carb cravings (thanks MCT oil!) I can make much better fuel choices. In addition, by body now feels the effect of leptin, which indicates that I've had enough fuel!
@@glenrisk5234 I've been watching and reading a lot about the history of sugar, which has also helped me properly demonized my former love addition! It's so shocking and sad to learn about how our foods have become so laden with sugary-substances, and the pain and cost that it wields. Like you said, Glen, it's about taking control of ourselves! (I'm surprised at the number of people who are criticizing me for gong on a keto diet! I've been researching for 5 years, and finally took the plunge! ) And it feels amazing! I'm finally burning a fuel that my body doesn't resist! --- and my brain loves it too!
Thank you so much for this heartfelt video. A lot people don’t realize, food is has a deep emotional connection. I really loved this video! You are the real deal
I appreciate your honesty. My story is very similar to yours, and I get the lonely McDonald's meals. I remember wanting to eat "better" but ordering a pizza instead. The change happened similarly in that I did a lot of research on weight loss and health and little by little made small improvements. Before I knew it I was down 60lbs, made some tweaks, and dropped another 20lbs. Thank you for sharing a part of your story!!
❤❤❤ I can relate so much. I was 100 pounds overweight. Trying to convince myself that I'm still pretty and that I love myself, for years. At 42 years old, for differents reasons, I finaly realise and accept that I was miserable. It was hard. I cry a lot. And then start the healing process. I start with keto and carnivore after. It save my life, just like you said. I'm 60 pounds down now and still going. Im not worried about the rest because I feel that I'm "cured" in my head. It's just a matter of time now for the 40 pounds left. It's not even really hard anymore. Thank you so much for that honesty in this video. I had a few tears. You seem like a wonderfull human being. ❤❤❤
Great Video!! I am down 51lbs on Keto and I feel great but When I look in the mirror I still see 252lb me.....so mentally struggling....Thank you for being so real!
Thomas, I watched this same video last year and it didn't hit home until recently when I decided to start my transformation and have been on keto 9 days in. I still have a long way to go but I do feel so much better already. I am 6'4" tall, 285lbs, and my clothes fit so much better even after 9 days. I am determined to continue with this change and I do thank you so much for being a huge motivator to my future success with losing weight and feeling healthier again
Thanks for this Video Thomas, I did the same thing i would wake up and have 5 burritos from McDonalds, lunch would be a whole pizza from little ceasar and dinner would be another fast food restaurant. Back then I used to be 260lbs. The struggle is very real. Eventhough I'm down to 175lbs. I still struggle with stress. Its great to have a partner that understands what you are going through and can support you throughout the process.
Good job brother! I did this routine too. I used food to comfort my stress then I'd feel unimeasurable guilt after. I'm an athletic physic of 6'3 and weighed 368 at Christmas. Now I'm down to 317 w a goal of 120lbs. I'm done living a lie! congratulations on your success and I wish you well with handling stress.
Wow, similar thing with me Thomas. I would hit the drive thru at McDonalds but switch locations because I was embarrassed about the same employees or people I knew recognizing me. Some days I'd hit Krispy Kreme donuts too and always ate in my car away from people. Anyway, I'm 6'2" and weighed in at 286lbs August 29th 2018, started following you and started keto that very next day and as of today May 18th 2019 I'm weighing in at 202lbs. The leanest I've ever been.
Just giving you some reassurance that the same employee thing is very real . i was 145 at 6’1 doing the same thing switch between locations or go around different times trying to avoid the same employees Under-underweight .. still had bad gut bacteria/blood sugar & pressure/ IBM , circulatory problems.. everything wrong Im pretty sure im doing much better because i stopped eating high salt & low grade meat
starting keto todayat217 i just had brain stroke90 days agoon top of stage 4 lung cancer and need my left side to recover and keto can helpl ooking forwardto living my "best life now" i do have extra hurdlesto clear but Godhas been faithfu it shall be done anyhow... thanks Thomas, your video inspires me to heal healthily. blessings to you and yourfamily.
I'm in the beginning stages of keto diet. You've given me a lot of scientific facts about this lifestyle in this video and others and inspiration to keep pushing! That is invaluable to me. Helping me make the right decisions from the start and wasting no time. I appreciate your videos and your passion for fitness and health. Cheers!
Me too... I've been doing keto for almost a year and just 50 lbs dawn, and for the last 2 months not even a pound. I was so tired to keep trying but after this video i'm not gonna stop until to reach my goal... 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I've shared your videos with my keto family. You've helped me so very much Thomas. I love how you've opened up and shared your hard times too. So personable.
Amazing Well done. Such an inspiration. On 22nd December I was 250 pounds Currently, 165pounds . Am female and 5” 8”. Like you, I’m a very different person today, in many ways ! Would like to lose a further 15 at least. God bless everyone x
I was 230 lbs at 170 cm (5' 7") at Christmas 2019, I'm now 175 lbs @56 years old. Your channel, and advice, have been a great source of information and inspiration since I started down this path a few months ago. Keep up the great work!
My eyes are sweating! You really really struck a nerve when you talked about days past, sitting in your car, eating and sad. That was me too! Im a ICU nurse and I work the night shift, plus desperately trying to be a supermom, but inside i was dying. I developed type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, depression, and I was on so many meds- for the diabetes alone; metformin, januvia, jardiance, bydureon. Ive been in my keto lifestyle for 6 months, and im off ALL of my meds. More importantly, i realized im worth fighting for, and in so doing, i believe im setting the best example for my children. The quality of my life and theirs has improved immensely! I wanted to thank you for the guidance in this journey. It means the world to me.
This video was a gift Thomas. Thank you. Made me cry actually. And I always forget where you started because of how you look today. It's nice to be reminded, for many different reasons. Thnx again.
Very interesting video. I have been on keto for 12 months and at 55 currently down 32lbs and still falling. Need to get my brother to watch this as I think he still has to deal with that denial. His physical shape and condition has become his personality. He is a year older than me and needs to lose nearly 120lbs. This, a bad relationship and caring for a severely handicapped son has brought him here. I'm glad you are showing us that it hasn't been walk in the park for you also, and with a positive outlook, look what you have become. Thanks Thomas. Oh.... and I watch a lot of your content.
I'm new to keto, at first it was like I was just practicing. This is the first week where I ate keto everyday. I watch Thomas's videos, and its where I've learned the most information to help me do this. Oh, and I'm down 6 pounds.
Thanks Thomas. I dont know if you will see this but I just watched this video. I am a 55 year old that weighs 240 pounds and am a Type two Diabetec. I have been this way since I was in my mid 30th. About 2 weeks ago I started doing Clean Keto and Internitant fasting. I have dropped about 8 pounds since I started. I wanted you to know that this video really hit home and brought tears to my eye. Everything that you described really has been me. The depression even though I had no clue thats what I have been dealing with to the intemancy and the complete denial. The Dr Berg Videos got me start but yours is what will keep me going. Thanks for being so open on your channel I am sure many many people love you for it. You have saved lives!
I went from 238lbs down to 175lbs as of yesterday. I have officially hit my weight loss finish line. It took 10 months, much of which was inspired by this channel and "what I've learned".
@@Ragniirox I wouldn't say drastically. It can alter it a little but there is a reason trans people need to go on hormones before 18 years old to get real effect. Once your body stops growing at around 21 ish, you are locked into your frame. After that, all hormones can do is change fat distribution.
I can't understand how anyone could or even want to make fun of you! You are so knowledgeable and you have been through the struggle! Thank you for unselfishly sharing your knowledge. I have learned so much from you!
Thomas, I know that was harder than you let on to share, I recently fell off my keto diet and gained 20 lbs back and I hate it.........thank you for the support and the reminders, Yvonne
1. Come to grips with your denial/law of attraction 2. Inflammation causes depression, lack of libido, inability to make better decisions and change habits.
You deserve your glow up and you are so down to earth and educational. From the comments, you have helped so many people make the decision to change and change in the rihgt way. Thank you!
Tyler Campbell thank you brother. There will be a lot of negativity on a vid like this but it will come from people that don’t know the full story of what it’s like.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial Exactly man. My experience is almost identical to yours. I was always a big guy at 6 foot 3 but when I got up to 300 pounds I was suddenly an introvert. I found your keto videos about a year and a half ago and lost 60 pounds. I've had some ups and downs since then and moved from Colorado to Scotland but this video has really encouraged me to get back on it and throw down again! :) thanks again and keep it up!
I've been watching you for months and had the impression you were always super healthy. Thanks for sharing your journey it makes me ten times more of a fan. Love that you keep it real. Just gained another subscriber🙌
Thank you so much for posting that! I’ve been struggling with weight gain for so long and just adapting to the depression and sadness that go along with it but it’s the first time someone ever explained why it’s so easy to turn to unhealthy eating when you initially put yourself in the mindset to want to eat healthy.. It just blew my mind away! It’s def something I’ll keep in mind everytime I wanna give in. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Thomas!! At my heaviest I was 220lbs two years later I'm at 160-165lbs. I can't believe it! I still want to gain more muscle! You and the gym changed my life, with all your helpful tips and tricks and to maintain a healthy lifestyle mentally and physically 🙏 I've probably already posted something like this 😂 I will continue to be watching your content for a long long time!! Best wishes!!😄💪💪
Thank you, Thomas! Your testimony resonates 100%. From 360 lbs to 180 lbs, my journey from lifelong morbid obesity, Diabetes 2, kidney failure, bilateral leg amputation, 10 years on dialysis, and a kidney transplant brought me to Keto and strength training. I'm 62 and alive, feeling better than I have in decades! Keep on vlogging!
My wife and I just started keto 7 days ago. We are both doing very good it’s like we flipped a switch. It’s really cool I found this channel because I was 279 when I started. My goal is to get back to 180. I’m already down 9 pounds. Thank you for helping all these people and teaching keto. It’s very simple but very complicated lol
❤❤❤❤❤ yes! Thank you for being so OPEN! And HONEST! And humble! Love that you and your wife have made it thru to the "other side" with everything you've (both) been through. ❤❤❤❤❤
Recently found this channel and have been learning a lot. At 36 years old, I have lost significant weight four times in my life already, regained most or more of it every time (3 times in part due to pregnancy), and now I'm working towards my fifth 100+ lb loss - currently down 30 lbs in 3 months and going strong. My most successful weight loss came four years ago when I finally tried low carb and keto and went from 267 lbs to 137 lbs in less than a year-and-a-half, but I was primarily doing lots of dirty LCHF and dirty keto, coupled with tons of exercise and some fasting. This channel is so helpful and inspiring to me, helping me learn more about the science behind keto nutrition, fasting, and exercise and how to truly improve my health this time. I have a long way to go and I wonder if I can realistically ever get back to the shape I was in 3 years ago, but this channel and a few others have me feeling optimistic that I can and will.
Wow, you really chiseled down! I also eat Keto to control inflammation but I'm enjoying discovering muscles under this fat. My biomarkers are going down nicely. This way of eating works so well for me and I'm all in. I have ~20 lbs to go and as a Christian I am grateful to the One who brought this wisdom to me in spite of the opinions of my doctor, coworkers, and yes my loving spouse (I call him "Jack Sprat"). Much continued success to you and every LCHF eating person out there...keep swimming upstream. 💪🏽
You're awesome, I've followed you and have been learning from you for years. Authenticity and transparency is everything. I loved the end comments about inflammation in the brain. Thank you Thomas.
Honestly thomas's channel has helped me so much 6 months ago i was 325lbs i am at the moment 241lbs
Hell yeah dude, keep it up you're gonna make it!
That’s Amazing! Keep up that good work!
April 13 I was 325 as well today I was 238. Congratulations on your amazing transformation. Keep it up
@@Jay33763 heck yea congrats man im down to like 227 now and ive switched over to carnivore diet to get rid of the last few pounds
DavGonza I’m about to start my journey myself I’m 325 lbs thanks for sharing! Are you doing keto or any advice for me!
I was 280 as well I am now 236 I am working to get under 200 this year
Me too man. I was 260 not long ago. I'm at 204, knocking on 200's door 🙆♂️ Good luck, you'll get there
Good shye bro
@@10n0 hell yeah, 6 months ago I started keto omad lifting at 255 and now I'm at 191 around 14% body fat with more strength and muscle, my target is in the mid 180s and then healthy bulk with protein fat and excess calories and see how far natural I can go
Just keep at it....
Looks like we are in together I was 290, I'm at 252
Love your channel. I am not keto, but, I am very low sugar/very low carbs. This works for me. I started at over 300 lbs and today weigh under 130 lbs. Food was killing me. I needed to get educated to save myself. I weigh less now than I did age 13. Thanks Thomas. God bless you xx
Lol bro very low carbs is keto. You're on keto dude
@@phines93 No, its not. Keto is specifically very high fat, moderate protein, very low carbs. You can be low carb, high protein, low fat, and not be keto. Just because it is low carbs, doesnt mean it is keto. Watching even one video on keto would tell you this.
@@RealHankShill yea thats bullshit cause not every keto video specifies the ratios keto mainly has low carbs in mind thats the overall concept of the diet. Low carbs, but yes you are correct. Except for your smartass remark which you reached for cause not every keto video goes over that my guy
@@phines93 A generic low carb diet is more similar to an Atkins diet than a ketogenic one. A keto diet is about getting your body into ketosis and staying there for the duration of the diet. A keto diet can be more difficult than a regular low carb diet because you have to constantly monitor if your body is in ketosis, much like how diabetics have to constantly monitor their blood sugar levels. Atkins allows for an unlimited amount of protein while Keto limits it to 20% of your daily intake. Ketosis does happen during the first phases of an Atkins diet, but once you hit phase 3 you can start slowly reintroducing carbs whereas Keto always limits carbs.
@@-._.-KRiS-._.- yea but low carbs is what gets you into ketosis so i wasnt wrong..you niggas just want to get technical which is fine..still think the dude above me is a bitch just trying to be cool talking about " if you watched even one video" which ive been subscribed to thomas for a while and he doesnt go over the specifics every video the main goal he always points out is low carbs so yea. But its whatever you're correct though
The lightest I've ever been was 5 pounds 9 ounces.
You were less than half that weight just a few mths prior 🙃
when i was born i weighed 12 lbs 🤭

Started from that same weight almost two years ago. Finally down to 195. Working to 180 myself.

What exercise did you do and what foods did you eat while you’re on a diet because I been on a diet for 3 months now and I was 280 but I’m 270 but it goes up to 273 and back down and up and down my goal is 180 so can you help me?
@@officersmoochie how tall is you my guy
Thank you for this video. I discovered Keto because of a ad of yours on Facebook. Alittle over a year later I have lost 110lbs and so has my husband. I cant thank you enough for your videos and the content you bring.
How did you start
Mrsandmom5 watch more of Thomas’ videos, also Dr Berg is good for beginners, he has a channel too. It will be one year in July since I went on the Ketogenic way of eating, I’ve lost 60 lbs, no longer T2 diabetic and my High Blood Pressure issue is resolved. It’s a very doable way of eating and is best combined with Intermittent Fasting. If I can do it, you can, too. I haven’t felt this good in literally decades, good luck!
Also watch Dr. Ken Berry. I started by cutting out sugar and carbs.i have myself a goal date to have my sugar gone. I was addicted to sugary coffee. Then I did tons of research. Followed many channels. Joined some keto group's on FB. Unfollowed all of them. Too much judgment. I forgave myself when I messed up and started over when I needed to. We are only human.
@@mrsandmom5947 keep it simple. Dont fall for all the "you need to buy this gimmick" meat, veggies, good healthy fats. Research research and more research. Find what works for you within the perimeters. Keep carbs low.
@@wtglb I agree, Dr Berg also gives great advice to get healthy. It is not about "diet" it is about changing. And actually pretty easy way to start.
I have lost 50 lbs in the last 3 months, but that is just how my body works. I gave myself permission to take a while and not fad diet, and after I took that pressure off of me, the weight just started falling off. Doing the right things, eating the right things and not living from cheat day to cheat day, which so many do, making getting healthy just a way to fad diet.
I eat well, and I eat plenty, I don't count calories, but I do stick to lowest of carbs, no cheating, which not eating carbs makes it easier to not cheat. You don't feel starving because you are not restricting calories to starvation levels.
I have about 30 more pounds to lose, but I have not weighed myself at all to keep score, I did measurements at the beginning, but now just rely on my clothes getting bigger to tell me that I am doing the right thing eating wise.
And Thomas is so right, this isn't about a "diet" fad or otherwise, but a good change to living healthy and not starving to do it.
It took me 2 years to go from 305 to 217. Now I ride my bike 80 miles a week and it feels amazing.
I love all of your videos. But these videos where you talk about where you started are incredibly affirming for me, and I really appreciate them. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I agree. I used to see him & think he was probably all brawn & no brain (sorry Thomas! Cringe!). So appreciated hearing him be so down to earth & open about his past...& also how nice he was during the Walmart Budget shopping spree.
Agreed. I didn't believe you before. Thanks for the "before" pics. Like someone else stated, you carried the weight well. I'm at 255 and need to be down at 180. Here we go.
Well said, John Fink!
Love that I found you.
John Fink too many quarter pounders will rot your brain lol
You in your car in front of the “golden Arch’s” with 4 burgers with you. Your being real intimate with your conversation. Resonates with me and my problems with weight. I’m done I’m broken and it’s time to change.

Congratz on the weight loss
Edward Castine Your diet, food is the Main thing people forget, focus on staying away from fast food, eat clean meaning not greasy foods. Like chicken, vegetables. Give yourself an hour to work out, run a little, or do push ups and sit ups to start out. Go to a gym. You can do it man, I was 240 and I Lost 40 pounds in 5 months mainly from controlling what I ate and working out an hour a day
Brody Foutch.... bro I want to learn to eat clean. Give me some tips.
Greg Pettis thanks bro... at work now but I get off at 7am.. I’ll start with these steps tomorrow for sure
The keto diet reduced my inflammation to the point that I went from being bedridden to running a small farm. I have double knee arthritis and spinal stenosis.

The easiest way to lose weight is lose 2-3 pounds a week. By the time you know it 10 weeks in you already 20-30 pounds. Consistency is key and changes don’t come over night.
I agree 100%
Bunk all that noise! 1lb a day!
ineedhoez you know you can only lose a certain amount of weight per day depending on your body fat once you pass that amount it’s just water weight and muscle. There is 31.5 calories in 1 pound of fat, if a 300lb person has a 40%body fat he has 120lbs of body fat, you do 120x31.5=3780 calories/body fat, 3780 divided 3500/ amount of calories in 1 pound = 1.08lbs of body fat you can lose per day and that number goes down as you lose more body fat. Another example is 200lb person with 25% = 50lbs of fat, 50x31.5=1575calories, 1575/3500= .45lbs of fat you can lose in a day. I wish you can you lose 1 a day but you just can’t do that without losing muscle mass when you get to those lower BF%

Modelmotorsport (Punch) congrats on the weight loss! I started my keto and IF journey on the exact same day: Oct. 30th, 2018. Thomas was the first person I started watching on UA-cam in regards to keto & IF. I soon started watching Dr Berg after that.
Thomas DeLauer and Dr. Berg are the two primary people I follow on UA-cam, and they have both changed my life and helped me to lose 40 lbs.
Keto and IF are the easiest things I have ever done in regards to weight loss. This is truly a lifestyle that I know I can stick with. 👍

Snake diet
Buddy try keto and intermittent fasting. The first 3 days are hard, but the high fat with no carbs will kill hunger pangs and the addiction to sugar starts to go away with the hunger pangs (and provided you're in a deficit the fat how's pretty quickly)
osvaldo gomez SNAKE DIET
This is literally who I am right now.. I walk around everyday feeling like a failure... in every aspect of my life. I went from being 200 lbs to around 292 lbs within a span of less than two years.
The way you describe yourself going to fast food chains where people wont recognize you.. I do that almost every day. If I feel like im going to get recognized at the place Im going today.. ill drive across the city to the same chain of restaurants but, where the employees wont recognize me. That's how embarrassed I am. Its gotten to the point where I don't even look in the mirror anymore, and if I do.. or have to .. I will blur my vision so that I cant really see what I have become. I avoid everyone, and have lost a lot of friends because of this.. because I walk around everyday feeling guilty that I let myself become this person. I know you probably wont see this.. but, you struck a cord with me today.
This whole video hits home with me in the worst ways. This is me to a tee.
I'm glad you got through it, and became the success and the beacon you are today to so many people. Hopefully one day I can do the same.
I'm really similar too. I had a fair bit of success doing keto last year, and one of the reasons I think was the mental momentum. once you do keto for a full day, see if you can do a second. once you do that it makes you feel kinda powerful .... and you will want to go further. the results are pretty quick on keto and that's where you get the rest of the momentum feeling, which can really carry you through avoiding drive thrus and such.
Same for me when I started. what really helped me so far is eating foods that I like but looking for alternatives. One of the main ones I get it from is Greg Doucette. I have lost 45lbs from 295 to 250 since I started. I'm enjoying my food that I find and not boring like just chicken and broccoli.
Take that journey today, no one is gonna do it for you
Damn. I feel you.
Go for it!!! Check in with us in 12 months! You got this!

I did not know your story. You do understand the battle with food. For me what you have to say carries much more value and importance.
Thomas, you have the BEST channel on UA-cam. I've been watching 35-40 of your videos the last 2 months. Amazing content. I didn't realize your story that you shared here. It means alot to know your journey. I was 4 yrs ago a very unhealthy 250lbs at 6ft tall. So many body pains from top to bottom. At 43 I felt 83. By going full on SCD/Keto diet with zero sugar or flour or gluten etc extreme for 5 months I felt 25 again and dropped 60lbs of unhealthy lifestyle. I've since kept a clean diet and kept most of that off for almost 5 yrs now. Thank you for all of your amazing content. It is the BEST channel on UA-cam. And kudos to your crew behind the scenes. They do top notch work as well. :)

I started on keto on January 1st and have always lifted weights. Two and a half weeks ago I started spin bike classes and I am hooked. All these things are part of my daily lifestyle now and it has to be. I thank you for your knowledge and time.
This video legitimately made me cry. It resonated so much, and hit so close to home it actually hurts. It was healing to watch and know that someone else had been down this exact road, and how you overcame it. I'm on day 2 of keto now and can't wait to see where I end up.

Come on....the guy looked like he could bench press 400 pounds for 20 reps just after waking up with a hangover. Fat my ass...yes he had lots of fat but he could also pick up your car with one hand and sweep underneath with a broom with the other.
@@razorfingers Are you saying that because you look like him and want to maintain the illusion that you are not fat? Because he was fat. You do not have to look fat to actually be fat. Larger frames have larger abdominal cavities to hide fat. They also can carry more fat distribution. i.e. I was once near 400 lbs and everyone thought I was MAX 280 just because my frame is built like a tank.
yaa i too thought he was born like that

Thank you for addressing that is not just about the food it’s about what’s going on in your head..... the relationship with food. Please keep talking about it
This is so real! I used to have such a bad relationship with food but now I have been planning my paleo meals and making smoothies and lost 50 lbs. At a plateau and trying to lose more weight. This was a really good video.
I am really appreciate all of your videos because I can feel your transformation not only from your visible figure but also your priceless words. Although I'm not a native English speaker, your words touched me quite deeply.
Thomas, thank you for your vulnerability. This is the reason you're so relatable. I've learned so much from you. I'm m on a keto journey as well... Started 6'4"-285 lbs & am down to 239 lbs. I tried other keto channels, but yours has truly changed my life. Thank you for all you do for the community.
This was literally the most home hitting and informative video I’ve ever watched. Thank you!
Keto has given me one of the greatest gifts of all...control over food!
YES. I was just telling this to a friend last night, though I was actually referring to keto and fasting. Food used to control me. No longer. I am free and it's wonderful.
We as a species have lost control of ourselves. It shows in so many obviously unhealthy and just plain wrong things that we do. Taking control of ourselves is the most important thing any of us can do. Congrats.
With respect to "control over food," when an individual eats lots of foods that turn into sugar, ghrelin, a hunger stimulating hormone, isn't cut off as readily. Endomorphs have it worse though, the effect is even more pronounced. But it turns out, when you lead a low carb lifestyle, ghrelin is cut off much, much more quickly. And I can say that when I switched to a LCHF lifestyle 7 years ago, the difference for me personally was pronounced. In the old days, I could go to a buffet and the signal to stop eating would be my pants pressing against my distended stomach. Now, no matter how hungry I am, there's a distinct "switch" that's turned off much more readily and it doesn't matter how much good food is in front of me, I stop. There's no self-negotiation involved either, neurologically, I'm sated. It's like an invisible hand reaches in and turns off the circuitry in my brain that involves any desire for food.
YES! Same with me! Before keto, as someone who was insulin resistant, I was obsessed by my carb cravings, and never felt sated! But now that I can curb my carb cravings (thanks MCT oil!) I can make much better fuel choices. In addition, by body now feels the effect of leptin, which indicates that I've had enough fuel!
@@glenrisk5234 I've been watching and reading a lot about the history of sugar, which has also helped me properly demonized my former love addition! It's so shocking and sad to learn about how our foods have become so laden with sugary-substances, and the pain and cost that it wields. Like you said, Glen, it's about taking control of ourselves!
(I'm surprised at the number of people who are criticizing me for gong on a keto diet! I've been researching for 5 years, and finally took the plunge! ) And it feels amazing! I'm finally burning a fuel that my body doesn't resist! --- and my brain loves it too!
Thank you so much for this heartfelt video. A lot people don’t realize, food is has a deep emotional connection. I really loved this video! You are the real deal
I appreciate your honesty. My story is very similar to yours, and I get the lonely McDonald's meals. I remember wanting to eat "better" but ordering a pizza instead. The change happened similarly in that I did a lot of research on weight loss and health and little by little made small improvements. Before I knew it I was down 60lbs, made some tweaks, and dropped another 20lbs. Thank you for sharing a part of your story!!
Its so true. I'm just beginning my journey. I've lost 45lbs but the struggle to eat clean is real
❤❤❤
I can relate so much.
I was 100 pounds overweight. Trying to convince myself that I'm still pretty and that I love myself, for years. At 42 years old, for differents reasons, I finaly realise and accept that I was miserable. It was hard. I cry a lot. And then start the healing process.
I start with keto and carnivore after. It save my life, just like you said. I'm 60 pounds down now and still going. Im not worried about the rest because I feel that I'm "cured" in my head. It's just a matter of time now for the 40 pounds left. It's not even really hard anymore.
Thank you so much for that honesty in this video. I had a few tears. You seem like a wonderfull human being.
❤❤❤
Great Video!! I am down 51lbs on Keto and I feel great but When I look in the mirror I still see 252lb me.....so mentally struggling....Thank you for being so real!

Thomas,
I watched this same video last year and it didn't hit home until recently when I decided to start my transformation and have been on keto 9 days in. I still have a long way to go but I do feel so much better already. I am 6'4" tall, 285lbs, and my clothes fit so much better even after 9 days. I am determined to continue with this change and I do thank you so much for being a huge motivator to my future success with losing weight and feeling healthier again
Thanks for this Video Thomas, I did the same thing i would wake up and have 5 burritos from McDonalds, lunch would be a whole pizza from little ceasar and dinner would be another fast food restaurant. Back then I used to be 260lbs. The struggle is very real. Eventhough I'm down to 175lbs. I still struggle with stress. Its great to have a partner that understands what you are going through and can support you throughout the process.
Good job brother! I did this routine too. I used food to comfort my stress then I'd feel unimeasurable guilt after. I'm an athletic physic of 6'3 and weighed 368 at Christmas. Now I'm down to 317 w a goal of 120lbs. I'm done living a lie! congratulations on your success and I wish you well with handling stress.
Wow, similar thing with me Thomas. I would hit the drive thru at McDonalds but switch locations because I was embarrassed about the same employees or people I knew recognizing me. Some days I'd hit Krispy Kreme donuts too and always ate in my car away from people. Anyway, I'm 6'2" and weighed in at 286lbs August 29th 2018, started following you and started keto that very next day and as of today May 18th 2019 I'm weighing in at 202lbs. The leanest I've ever been.
Just giving you some reassurance that the same employee thing is very real .
i was 145 at 6’1 doing the same thing switch between locations or go around different times trying to avoid the same employees
Under-underweight .. still had bad gut bacteria/blood sugar & pressure/ IBM , circulatory problems.. everything wrong

Thanks you for this information, and you are so right. Getting ready to start my Keto journey. I am tired of lying to myself. I have to win!
Awesome dude. Like you, I also was over weight. My diet is vegan now for the detox and the boosting my metabolism..
Thank you for that testimony bro.
I'm in the beginning stages of keto diet. You've given me a lot of scientific facts about this lifestyle in this video and others and inspiration to keep pushing! That is invaluable to me. Helping me make the right decisions from the start and wasting no time.
I appreciate your videos and your passion for fitness and health.
Cheers!
Good luck on your journey ✊🏽
This is your best non-technical video as of yet. 👍
Was literally thinking about breaking my diet before watching this.. I know talk is easy but you really helped me out with this video. Thank you ! :)
Me too... I've been doing keto for almost a year and just 50 lbs dawn, and for the last 2 months not even a pound. I was so tired to keep trying but after this video i'm not gonna stop until to reach my goal... 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You can stick to it!! :-)
When I feel like breaking it, i binge on a double cheeseburger with no bun, then I get the satisfaction without eating carbs.
I've shared your videos with my keto family. You've helped me so very much Thomas. I love how you've opened up and shared your hard times too. So personable.
Amazing
Well done. Such an inspiration.
On 22nd December I was 250 pounds
Currently, 165pounds . Am female and 5” 8”. Like you, I’m a very different person today, in many ways !
Would like to lose a further 15 at least.
God bless everyone x
Wow! Congratulations!! 👍🏋️♀️
Ann Kleinman - thank you so much 🙏
I love the idea of doing a video in your car it feels so different and more personal please make more like this one
Thanks for your work
I was 230 lbs at 170 cm (5' 7") at Christmas 2019, I'm now 175 lbs @56 years old. Your channel, and advice, have been a great source of information and inspiration since I started down this path a few months ago. Keep up the great work!
My eyes are sweating! You really really struck a nerve when you talked about days past, sitting in your car, eating and sad. That was me too! Im a ICU nurse and I work the night shift, plus desperately trying to be a supermom, but inside i was dying. I developed type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, depression, and I was on so many meds- for the diabetes alone; metformin, januvia, jardiance, bydureon. Ive been in my keto lifestyle for 6 months, and im off ALL of my meds. More importantly, i realized im worth fighting for, and in so doing, i believe im setting the best example for my children. The quality of my life and theirs has improved immensely! I wanted to thank you for the guidance in this journey. It means the world to me.
I am a nurse too. Nursing is very stressful which brings on emotional eating. I am so proud of you. Keto is the key.
This video was a gift Thomas. Thank you. Made me cry actually. And I always forget where you started because of how you look today. It's nice to be reminded, for many different reasons. Thnx again.
Very interesting video. I have been on keto for 12 months and at 55 currently down 32lbs and still falling. Need to get my brother to watch this as I think he still has to deal with that denial. His physical shape and condition has become his personality. He is a year older than me and needs to lose nearly 120lbs. This, a bad relationship and caring for a severely handicapped son has brought him here. I'm glad you are showing us that it hasn't been walk in the park for you also, and with a positive outlook, look what you have become. Thanks Thomas. Oh.... and I watch a lot of your content.
I'm new to keto, at first it was like I was just practicing. This is the first week where I ate keto everyday. I watch Thomas's videos, and its where I've learned the most information to help me do this. Oh, and I'm down 6 pounds.
One of the best vids yet! The science stuff is cool but REAL WORLD wins every time. 👍🏻
Thanks Thomas. I dont know if you will see this but I just watched this video. I am a 55 year old that weighs 240 pounds and am a Type two Diabetec. I have been this way since I was in my mid 30th. About 2 weeks ago I started doing Clean Keto and Internitant fasting. I have dropped about 8 pounds since I started. I wanted you to know that this video really hit home and brought tears to my eye. Everything that you described really has been me. The depression even though I had no clue thats what I have been dealing with to the intemancy and the complete denial. The Dr Berg Videos got me start but yours is what will keep me going. Thanks for being so open on your channel I am sure many many people love you for it. You have saved lives!
40 lbs loss changed my life....its amazing!
Tips plsss I've been trying to lose weight for 2 yrs and I always gained em back !!
@@Chopper95 I fast from 3 to 7 everyday. Workout and stay in a deficit. That's it lol
I went from 238lbs down to 175lbs as of yesterday. I have officially hit my weight loss finish line. It took 10 months, much of which was inspired by this channel and "what I've learned".
It's really incredible how excess fat seems to distort facial features. You literally look like another person back then.
Well yea, because we're not a solid, our bodies get bigger or smaller depending on our lifestyle.
@@Ragniirox big facts
@@Ragniirox I wouldn't say drastically. It can alter it a little but there is a reason trans people need to go on hormones before 18 years old to get real effect. Once your body stops growing at around 21 ish, you are locked into your frame. After that, all hormones can do is change fat distribution.
@@Ragniirox how?
That's true but take into account different hairstyle and beard. These make the face look longer thus skinnier.
I can't understand how anyone could or even want to make fun of you! You are so knowledgeable and you have been through the struggle! Thank you for unselfishly sharing your knowledge. I have learned so much from you!
Your journey from unhealthy to healthy is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Who could dislike this video? Thanks for sharing this Thomas...
Fat pride people. Thomas is a traitor of the fat community.
Thomas, I know that was harder than you let on to share, I recently fell off my keto diet and gained 20 lbs back and I hate it.........thank you for the support and the reminders, Yvonne
Literally got the notification for this while I was at McDonald’s 😂 Oops.
Curtis Knight dang 😆
So the McDonald's / Taco Bell detector went off? Ahhhhhhhhhm! :D
🤣😂
And you got a salad .. right ... * ; >
@@sharonolsen6579 ...and threw away the dressing? All of them have fructose in one form or another.
1. Come to grips with your denial/law of attraction
2. Inflammation causes depression, lack of libido, inability to make better decisions and change habits.
Third Echelon ouch lol
You deserve your glow up and you are so down to earth and educational. From the comments, you have helped so many people make the decision to change and change in the rihgt way. Thank you!
Thomas
Please tell me what trash can you threw the quarter pounders in
LOL
🤣
😂
Hahahah
I already ate them
Dude I appreciate this video so much!!!! You hit the nail on the head. Thank you bro!
Tyler Campbell thank you brother. There will be a lot of negativity on a vid like this but it will come from people that don’t know the full story of what it’s like.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial Exactly man. My experience is almost identical to yours. I was always a big guy at 6 foot 3 but when I got up to 300 pounds I was suddenly an introvert. I found your keto videos about a year and a half ago and lost 60 pounds. I've had some ups and downs since then and moved from Colorado to Scotland but this video has really encouraged me to get back on it and throw down again! :) thanks again and keep it up!
I've been watching you for months and had the impression you were always super healthy. Thanks for sharing your journey it makes me ten times more of a fan. Love that you keep it real. Just gained another subscriber🙌
Thank you so much for posting that! I’ve been struggling with weight gain for so long and just adapting to the depression and sadness that go along with it but it’s the first time someone ever explained why it’s so easy to turn to unhealthy eating when you initially put yourself in the mindset to want to eat healthy.. It just blew my mind away! It’s def something I’ll keep in mind everytime I wanna give in. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Thomas!!
At my heaviest I was 220lbs two years later I'm at 160-165lbs. I can't believe it! I still want to gain more muscle! You and the gym changed my life, with all your helpful tips and tricks and to maintain a healthy lifestyle mentally and physically 🙏 I've probably already posted something like this 😂 I will continue to be watching your content for a long long time!! Best wishes!!😄💪💪
Thank you, Thomas! Your testimony resonates 100%. From 360 lbs to 180 lbs, my journey from lifelong morbid obesity, Diabetes 2, kidney failure, bilateral leg amputation, 10 years on dialysis, and a kidney transplant brought me to Keto and strength training. I'm 62 and alive, feeling better than I have in decades! Keep on vlogging!
My wife and I just started keto 7 days ago. We are both doing very good it’s like we flipped a switch. It’s really cool I found this channel because I was 279 when I started. My goal is to get back to 180. I’m already down 9 pounds. Thank you for helping all these people and teaching keto. It’s very simple but very complicated lol
No spamming on the ads thank you.
Keontae Carter this is an ad...
Dude, this is hands down one of the best videos I've seen of yours. Thank you! ....but now I want those wasted 1/4 pounders! ARRG! lol
❤❤❤❤❤ yes! Thank you for being so OPEN! And HONEST! And humble! Love that you and your wife have made it thru to the "other side" with everything you've (both) been through. ❤❤❤❤❤
Preach brother, preach. I'm listening.
fast food and go park somewhere really hit home for me ,great vid
Recently found this channel and have been learning a lot. At 36 years old, I have lost significant weight four times in my life already, regained most or more of it every time (3 times in part due to pregnancy), and now I'm working towards my fifth 100+ lb loss - currently down 30 lbs in 3 months and going strong. My most successful weight loss came four years ago when I finally tried low carb and keto and went from 267 lbs to 137 lbs in less than a year-and-a-half, but I was primarily doing lots of dirty LCHF and dirty keto, coupled with tons of exercise and some fasting. This channel is so helpful and inspiring to me, helping me learn more about the science behind keto nutrition, fasting, and exercise and how to truly improve my health this time. I have a long way to go and I wonder if I can realistically ever get back to the shape I was in 3 years ago, but this channel and a few others have me feeling optimistic that I can and will.
Great video bro. My fiancé and keto changed my life too. 60 pounds down. 40 more to go.
Wow, you really chiseled down! I also eat Keto to control inflammation but I'm enjoying discovering muscles under this fat. My biomarkers are going down nicely. This way of eating works so well for me and I'm all in. I have ~20 lbs to go and as a Christian I am grateful to the One who brought this wisdom to me in spite of the opinions of my doctor, coworkers, and yes my loving spouse (I call him "Jack Sprat"). Much continued success to you and every LCHF eating person out there...keep swimming upstream. 💪🏽
You're awesome, I've followed you and have been learning from you for years. Authenticity and transparency is everything. I loved the end comments about inflammation in the brain. Thank you Thomas.
This is literally the same stuff when you have a binging problem 👏🏼 we love a psychological Thomas🙏🏻🙏🏻
