3 Things I learned Being 100lbs Overweight - Thomas DeLauer
I wanted to be able to address three things that I've learned in my transformation. Three things that are a little bit different from what you might normally think and normally you think, oh I learned that the keto diet can help me lose weight or intermittent fasting can help me lose weight, or this and that. The reality is those things changed my life. They saved my life quite honestly, but you hear about those in every single video that I do.
I used to sit in my car and just be quiet and be sad and kind of wallow in my own pity simply because it was me and the food and that was it and my relationship with food was superseding every other relationship in my life.
So the first thing that I learned through my transformation was that I had to come to grips with my denial. They say that perception is reality for a reason, right? It's like whatever you look at with something. However you see something is however you make it. And I realize that once I changed my perception, things could change. But until then, my perception of myself was sad and depressed. I needed to understand what was going on and honestly this is so cliché, but I mean, accepting and understanding that you're in denial is probably the biggest step towards anything.
The next thing that I've learned or that I couldn't stand okay was that how much intimacy played a role in my healing. when I was overweight, my libido was just garbage. I was destroyed, I had no libido. Now the question was, was my libido down because I was physically unhealthy and didn't have good libido or was my self-esteem so low that I just didn't have libido? The world may never know. I mean, the blood work shows that I was pretty unhealthy and I'm sure that played a role, but I actually like to think that it was more mental than anything. The intimacy, it just allowed me to feel better about myself and then it's perpetual, right? It's again, perception is reality. As you start seeing yourself in a different light, that becomes reality and it just compounds and compounds and compounds until next thing you know, you look down and you're not even the same person.
Stress causes inflammation. Stress therefore causes you to eat more and the certain kinds of foods or obesity in general triggers inflammation.Inflammation was the root of everything. When you have two neural synapses or two neurons, okay. And there's the synaptic cleft in between them. You got two neurons that are sending a signal to each other. They're communicating. We have so many, just a labyrinth of different neural connections in our body. That's what creates just a network of so many different decisions and thought processes. Think trillions and trillions of these right, that just can dictate which path we go and when there's inflammation in your brain, these neurons can't communicate with each other. Their signal is disrupted literally by inflammation and that's what people don't understand is unhealthy foods and fast food and things like that, we are living in a cesspool of inflammation and we don't make the right decisions.
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!
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 🤭
@Sean S. well, the weight of the fertilised egg is actually correct. Sperm on it's own is just sperm, (not the beginning of the human life) 😏
So, its come to this.....
Go to McDonald’s and buy forquarter pounder‘s 😜
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.
You should start a YT channel. I would watch. What an amazing journey and triumph!
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 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
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.
I started this past Friday at 280. Today I weighed-in at 274. Working my way down to 180
You'll get there !
I’m on my fourth day brotha
You’re on the right path bro. Word of advice, the scale doesn’t always reflect your momentum. Stay focused on healthy eating and consistent work outs. Take breaks where needed, push yourself when you can. When in doubt, just take a step back and see the big picture, be patient.
Alex Gets Fit how are you now? Still smashing it?💪
Started from that same weight almost two years ago. Finally down to 195. Working to 180 myself.
Thanks! This was me. Went from 310 to 160 currently. Thanks for your support, man.
Keep it up!
I've made the 330+ to 180 transformation twice now . . not fun doing the flipflop weighloss technique
Damn..thats crazy..congrats
Congrata
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
i was 330lbs now im 213lbs :P

@@keva4672 Legend!
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.
Did you follow through?
How is it going??
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
@@phines9 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
@@phines9 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 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%

Are you at goal wt now
Started at 260. Down to 190 right now. Thanks to fasting and working out.
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
I used to be 318 lbs now I'm down to 290. I'm in this keto diet
Used to weight 285 8 months ago now I weight 196 doing bodybuilding workouts and eating clean never felt better dedication is key for the process
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
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
I gotta be honest. You carried 280 very well. I have to lose 90lbs. Working on it.
Me 2 dude, I'm 290 ... were r on the same bridge . I was 385 last year
You can do it!

@@enhanced6892 whatever it takes, as long as it's done in a healthy way.
@@MalibuCouture77X keep doing what your doing. If there is a set back, aknowledge it, but don't let it discourage you from your end goal.
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!
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.
I’ve been there!! Overweight and depressed. Got my life back. Thank you so much. 🙏🏼Inspiring!

Beginning of June 2019, I was at my highest weight of 340. As of the middle of July 2019, I am now weighing 289 :)
I realize the weight loss was kinda drastic, but I needed to lose some weight to help alleviate my Plantar Fasciitis pain. Very happy that I'm no longer limping the following morning after a work day : ' )
Only 9 pounds to go before I climb to Thomas Delauer's rock-bottom weight!!!!
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.
Mel Martinez hang in there brother 💪
I also am in the same boat .
Learn more about inflammation of the brain from Dr. Daniel Amen
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. 👍
What you do and eat to lose it
Dude I love this guy. Such authenticity and compassion for others. One helluva guy.

Bro I already started I’m 6’5 and I’m down from 289 to 267… feels good!!!! Thank you so much Thomas.
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 was 240 lbs, now I'm 248. 💪

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.
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

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
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!
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.
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!
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.
I didn't know you used to be overweight! Thanks for sharing your story and for all the advice👍👍👍
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.
The only thing over weight on him are those muscles!
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.
@@johnalcala 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
;-)
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.
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

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.
Thanks for your honesty, bro. Your healing was to help others heal.
Love how genuine and real you are! Feel like I was sitting in the car with you😂. Blessings🙏
Thank you so much for being real and transparent. It makes it ok for me to accept the falls and dust myself off and Keto on!
Huge fan of your videos. I specialize in neuro-immunology and addiction research, and so awesome to watch your videos. You do a great job of incorporating good science and explaining the interactions between inflammation, body processes, and neuroscience. Thank you so much for these videos. Absolutely spot on. Such a great service for the internet community.
by far one of the most profound sincere videos yet . Thank you Thomas
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.
Good luck girl!
@Manny Q
Congratulations Manny!!🏆👍
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.
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!
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.
Its so true. I'm just beginning my journey. I've lost 45lbs but the struggle to eat clean is real
I weighed myself this past Sunday and I was 284lbs. I have started keto on tuesday and I cant wait to see how much I change in the next few months
Goodluck to you! Don't give up on your journey!
Go go go!!!
How is it going?
How r u?
Update?
I've always appreciated your education on nutrition and health, but this is your best video yet. Thanks for sharing your story.
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".
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!
@Clarity I started my journey on September 1, 2018. I have actually broke 200 this week!
You are going to help so many ppl! Take care and carry on! Thx! God bless!
@ThomasDeLauer it's great to see you step into a few more video's of old habits & your thought process & actions at the time. Your video's have radically helped transform my fat loss & the way I look at food.
So, thank you Thomas.
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.
Thank you so much for this. I watch your videos all the time and this, in my humble opinion, is one of the most authentic I have ever seen and is truly inspirational. I love your science-based informative videos and I always learn so much but this video really resonated with me because it shows that you truly do understand what so many of us are going through. Bless you, for being so open and honest Thomas and for sharing your story.
Maaaan, this video resonated with me HARD. Thank you Tom, for your brutal honesty and vulnerability that gives me hope and vision for myself....for my best self!
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
Thank you for sharing this very real part of your story. Enjoy your “Keepin’ it real” vids. Really benefited from watching this today. 💪
This is your best non-technical video as of yet. 👍
It was so refreshing to hear someone say what has been going on in my brain. Thank you for the honesty. I have been a hiding eater for so long. Just starting the fasting journey. Thanks.
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!
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!
I love your videos and the way you explain things!!! I wake up every morning so exited to see a new video and I keep watching old ones to learn more!!!
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!
We love you Thomas! Thank you for your honesty and helping us heal!
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
Thank-you for being real and using your experience to help others.
Your videos have helped me tremendously. This one really hit home and I want to say THANK YOU for keeping it real and explaining why things work with science but in a clear concise way
Preach brother, preach. I'm listening.
Gratitude for the knowledge you share with us. Blessings onto you and yours. Thanks for being there.
Awesome video! You touched upon every subject that I am experiencing in my life now! Everything you said has been my experience and I hope to change it! Thank you for being so personal and doing what you do Thomas! 👍
I ❤️this. Thank you for being so open about yourself. I hope that the younger generation also look at these videos. There are so many teenagers who are in denial. And this could help them a lot. I'm 54 and I'm doing keto and your videos has help me a lot. Thank you1000x. Keep doing the good work. God bless you and your beautiful wife!!
This is the most powerful video I've seen from this channel. Super motivational
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.
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
Real talk that was my life and thanks to guys like Thomas I’m changing that. Grateful for the knowledge and inspiration. Much love bro.
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.
You've helped a lot of people Thomas with your videos and great advice I have lost over 40 lbs following your advice and gotten my blood pressure under control believe or not brother you're helping save people's lives through your diet and exercise advice keep up the good work
I can't lie. I have a different level of respect for you now. This is the stuff that keeps people pushing. 💪🏿
Thomas, you're awesome! Thank you so much for your 'realness' and what you share to help others.
Mr. DeLauer, I really appreciate this video. Your videos have helped me so much but this one really moved me but also motivated me. I really related to it. Thank you for all you do.
