This is my 100lb Intermittent Fasting Transformation - Thomas DeLauer
I mention my weight loss transformation from time to time, but I’ve never dedicated a video to solely explaining it. You see, I realized recently that A LOT of my followers had no idea that I even had a transformation! I used to be 100lbs overweight and working in the corporate world with a high-stress job.
Now, when I say transformation, most people think just a physical transformation…but my transformation was SO much more than just physical, it was mental as well. This video is dedicated to articulating both the physical AND mental hurdles I overcame to get where I am today utilizing intermittent fasting as well as the keto diet. My hope is that after watching this, you can do the same.

I'm so glad I found your videos today , I hate my stretch Mark's but after watching your videos I'm ready to hit the gym and change my diet forever with your help , thank you for what you do and who you are
You are a fine American Lad ! Thanks for being so inspiring !!!
Thomas, there are so many "diet" books out there. You should write a book, I know it would be a best seller!!!
Awesome transformation story and realistic too, unlike those magazines mentioned in the video.
I'm struggling myself on my journey and I've had some bad things happen to me, but your heart- and truthful stories inspire and keep others going!
Thank you Thomas.
Great video, thank you!
In June of 2018 I was 396 lbs, on oxygen CPAP and heart meds, and close to suicide, by accident I went on Utube searching for acv, and ran into Thomas Delaure and he saved my life. In 1 year I was down 180 lbs. Thanks Thomas Delaure my hero.
Wow. That's amazing!
Wow! Congrats to you for taking nack your life.
Thomas and his videos no doubt helped you but You are the one who saved your life, you did the work. Never forget that, and very well done.
@ Bill Henry so proud to hear that you made it and you are thriving and striving.
do you still use CPAP?
This morning I weighed in at under 200 pounds for the first time in my adult life. Down 67 lbs since April. Thank you for your inspiration, Thomas.
Sweet! Congratulations on your success, Mike.
Mike Holland Awesome accomplishment 🎉
congrats bro, very inspiring
Impressive bro, could you please tell me what you do for Constipation? I really can't avoid it whenever I try to start Keto.. :(
Well done! Im 40 down, heading to 199. 27 lbs to go...

Congratulations and keep it up!
nice, unless you have muscle, aim for 150-165

@@ITSPRIME2 ight
Started at 348 pounds in October 2018 and intermittently fasted through July 2019 and lost 114 pounds of fat. I still intermittently fast and it’s been three years but I did stop for a little while just to recalibrate for a couple of months. I kept the weight off but could feel that it affected my mindset and etc. I’m still fasting and I’ve dropped another 24 pounds. In total, I’ve lost 138 pounds. No lose skin, no meds, no issues of any sort! I’m working out daily and my family is doing it as well. Not just my wife but my siblings and other family members as well! They also have great testimonials regarding fasting!
This guy is incredibly deep and insanely humble in sharing his own experiences👌🏾🔥
201lbs last year, just clocked in at 150.9lbs. Trust the process, eat less, be consistent, and BE PATIENT. Good luck to everyone else on this journey. It’s hard before it’s easy but it’s worth it!
That’s pretty thin tho
you fasted eveyday? and did you lose muscle ?
@@kylesapphire1820 You don't even know his height. Don't talk out of your ass.
@@kylesapphire1820 He could be 5'5" and that would be a great weight.
How long did Thomas take you to lose so much?
It sounds strange but it feels incredibly good to hear someone say its ok to hate yourself. Instead of the fake "love yourself no matter what! blah blah blah." I'm in the rough patch where I'm a little angry and mad at myself for not seeing the results I want. I needed to hear hear this.
it's ok to hate yourself :0....It shocked at me first but at the end I think is the first step to improve
Hate is the most powerful emotion & amazing motivator
Thats a lie, a seed grows everytime you water it. You will have mental problems thinking its okay to freely hate yourself. Just want more from yourself and not hate yourself for wanting more. Make goals to go harder than last time.
I don't think it's okay to hate yourself. I think you can be upset with yourself. I think you can be frustrated with yourself, but hate is just too strong of a word. You don't have to be delusional about what the hell your body looks like, but you should love yourself for your flaws as well. Honestly, that's what I thought the body positivity move it movement was supposed to be about. Love yourself okay. Be honest with yourself. And do better.
Yes agree...I’m currently on keto and intermittent fasting only 4 days in and before this I was just doing regular diet and exercise and I wasn’t losing weight, I hated life, I hated myself, depressed, so after a coworker told me about keto I decide to try it and so far I love it.
I feel you man, I went from 330 to 175 in about year and half doing my own thing, went back up to 300 after having a family and now I’m doing IF and Keto back down to 260 and going. I have the evidence all over my body, keep making videos and I’ll keep watching. You give me lots of inspiration to keep going
How long did Thomas take you to lose so much?
@@koala10ish Thomas does not have that power to transform someone body. Everyone is responsible for taking care of themselves and to do the right things. People are weak, lazy, no commitment, ,and that lead to their own perils. Cook your own meals, exercise, keeping active and respect the body. It's simple like that for a healthy life.
How much do you have today?
Thomas, after I lost 15 pounds using intermittent fasting, I received a lot of negative feedback from friends who are overweight. One of the negative side effects of weight loss is getting a lot of criticism for being healthy ! I think you should mention that weight loss may cause the loss of friends. I have to now make new friends !
They were never your friends then...Love them, but move on.
Sounds like a win, win! 🥳
Congratulations its all about u you friends gone be friends at the end day I wouldn't give a dammm keep up the good work 💪💪💪
They were definitely not your friends…
Not your freinds! My mom is very fat and all my life when I would be dieting she would be jealous and told people I had anorexia even though I always had meat on me. Some people just dont wanna see others doing and looking better than them.
I’ve watched a lot of your videos. I’m 71 years olds, a lady, married 41 years, and have lost 105 lbs. THIS one really touches deeply! Thanks! It’s ok to figure it out, be alone sometimes, mess up and for me, pray then study more! ❤️❤️
Wow!! Good on you!! 🤗💖👏👏
Really appreciate your kind way of showing your need for prayer-not alienating agnostic people.
That's remarkable Alana!
That's great Alana I'm so proud of you
Hi I am 77 and just starting this way of eating. I have to get over my fear of fat. I had quadruple bypass surgery almost 7 years ago. And was told eating fat was what caused it. So this makes me kind of nervous
I’m 2 lbs from 90 lbs lost! THANK YOU THOMAS! Your help and coaching is priceless 👍👍
Nice! Did you have some plateaus?
@@Lurker01 here's how you can deal with fat loss plateau. I've had it a couple of times and was able to break it

Congrats John!!!!!!!! Nicely done!!!!!!!
John Winnard congratulations that’s amazing!!!
John Winnard way to go!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 blessings to you!
I've lost 15lbs so far. Trying to eat better. Food has always been my weakness, but I have to remind myself: "I am stronger than my weaknesses".
Coconut oil is easier than butter for me.
What's your longest fast?
@UmbrellaGrapeSolutions Take Two how did this go?
Food is fuel. Not a counselor, emotional crutch or a way to fight boredom. Don't put regular in a diesel truck. Fuel yourself with good food!
@@alicelong3613 extremely naive to think it’s this simple for everyone.
I was trying for years to lose fat. It was really hard. Intermittent fasting was one hardest things I tried to do in my life. You need so much mental strength to go through day while fasting. Im currently experimenting with nextlevel diet and its working perfectly for me. 100% recommend.
just keep going and the results will come! that website NextLevelDiet helped me a lot, I lost 35lbs
low carb high fat. Thats how you beat the hunger
Zero mental strength for fasting on lchf as said. I hope you figured that out.
Sponsor away, I paid exactly 0.00 for this amazing information.
Jolly Giant exact guys gotta make a living and he’s helping people by doing what he passionate about
I really appreciate your video and all the honesty in it. Thank you so much Thomas .
Thomas is actually the greatest person in the whole freaking industry, he has his own transformation story, his content is science based and the best part is that he’s 100% R E A L.
This video is full of emotions and I’m sure it will hit deep in the feels of everyone..
YES
And the great thing about it is, he has no political agenda. His info is based on peer reviewed science and not pushing any type of prescription to support big Pharma or an agenda.
Absolutely agree
Ibtissam Amghar yes emotional 😭 and happy cryin over here so true
Thomas is great, for sure, and I'm continually amazed at how many people are so giving and authentic in the keto/IF community. Once you've been through the journey and experienced the transformation, you have a desire to pay it forward, and help other people change their lives.
Thank you for sharing your struggles. I have been widowed for 10 years and sometimes feel like I will be alone the rest of my life. Not many men are interested in a woman like me that is obese. But I have learned t love myself and I intend to be the best me for me. Thank you for all the education on what to do and for being real.
I feel you. I'm alone too
We hv to love us, ok.
There are men who do like plus size women!!! We are soft & cushioney...kmsl😂😂🤣🤣
Stop saying this to yourself.
I am just mentally stressed!! Covid 19 has taken 2 jobs I love. I was fit, after 1 year without gym, life changing again, I apologize being so down, and being weak, overeating..... I started my fasting 20:4. Today is my second day. I like the challenge!!!! So appreciate your video!!!
If possible try omad diet weekly once or twice
Well done getting started. Starting, that'st the hardest thing. I wish you the best luck with your venture. ❤️
7/19/21 You can do it! For +2 YRS the lbs stayed off even thru pandemic up To the present. Since 2019👨🎓 👩🎓 graduates of “I.F. 16-8” -light healthy brunch & dinner 12PM -8PM, we dropped 60 & 16 LBS or 2 & 1Lb ea/Week 😊 within 5 mos

@@ericyoutube77 why?
Dr Jason Fung
@David W so I’d a doctor sells anything you are saying they are if no value ?
So wouldn’t that mean under your logic every doctor working at hospitals are ether fake or not good?
Try again
Sounds like your just demanding free things and expect others to earn a living another way while providing free health care to you at no cost
You One if those ginmie gimmie type?
This guy right here is the most educated, sincere, real and motivating person in the whole health world. Thanks Thomas!
I love him. He's been thru it and real. A skinny trainer doesn't understand your mental state
I came across your videos by chance. As an 82 year old woman, I didn’t expect to relate to a young, muscular man’s point of view. Fortunately, you had a topic that interested me, so I watched. Im so glad I did. Your videos relate to everyone and they certainly affect me and my path. You are sincere, caring and knowledgeable. I watch different videos every day and share them with my family and friends. Thank you so much. You are making a vast difference in the world. I feel your support and it carries me through my journey.
Ive lost 100lbs myself, I resonated with everything you talked about! MENTAL Health is KEY... That one issue alone can not be stressed enough when seeking weightloss. It's not the food making you fat, it's the depression. GREAT honest video!
I was intermittent fasting a year ago lost 40 lbs in six - seven months and i had back surgery in October and gained it all back , i needed this a lot . Thank you Thomas this one really touched home
Keto+lower calories+IF works but there are gotchas such as what to do with salts and how do you listen your body to stay healthy, and how to not dirty your keto. DeLauer got bunch of videos that help you tune on a good diet.
Same happened to me! I had lost 80lbs doing IF and keto. Than I had to have surgery and I gained 25lbs back. I'm ready to start this journey again with all the ups and downs and all! 💖
You still can do it champ! Keto & intermittent fasting are the key
@@DR_ibtissamghar Keto for me is unrealistic, soon as i introduce sugar back, boom! Hello wait gain
E E Well, Keto isn’t made for everyone! It’s a life style not a short term diet!
And it’s recommended for people suffering from metabolic & hormonal issues that have no other choice than cutting the sugar forever!
I’m at 27 hours of fasting, that speech came just in time.
try a 19/5 or 16/8 fast, just have two reasonably sized meals and a small snack like fruit. Im losing about 5-6 pounds a week
@Cookie Monster and say hello to New muscle
@@devondivinecz5400 when you do 18-6 what workouts do you do cos damn your losing weight fast asf
I'm at 42 hours and I'm feeling better as the hours go on but the first 35 were insane . I'm going for 72 . Just Wana see my abs lol
@@Vser88 CrossFit and running are great options lol
This man has helped my more than anyone in my nutritional, physical and mentality journey.
Man, WHAT a pep talk. I’m going to review this about every month. Thank you, T!
This should be your home, Premier video. This says everything about you and who you are and what you believe.
If I would’ve seen this when I first met you I wouldn’t have come so quickly to judge you.
I believe most people are in agreement with me.
Excellent video. We need more of these from the heart.
Thank you 🙏🏼
I dont, he gives good info, I never judged him just cause he doesnt look like a loser like me.
Thanks to You and Dr Berg I have been intermittent fasting and low carb (around 80/100) for the past year...I abused my body for so long...At 75 now I walk 2 hours everyday of the week and lift weights every other day...my bloodwork is excellent and for the first time in many years my love handles are gone..I was pre diabetic and now my A1C is at 4.9 (started at 5.9). I feel great and will continue following fasting and low carb... Thanks for your help...you made a difference in my life....My family thanks you
good job
Jeffrey Greene.... Thanks for the inspiration. Congratulations
Thank you for your post. I'm 58 and doing the change you did and you're telling me at 78 your love handles are gone, so that's inspiring! You are wonderful and strong, thank you.
Jeffry Greene nice! I hope you’re enjoying the journey. Kudos for being a great example to many of us. I also follow Dr. Berg & appreciate the clear concise delivery of his message.
@@barbarathompson3704 I guess it be harder for a woman but still u can do
Thank you for being brutally honest about your journey.
I’m in the midst of a relapse and depression because I’ve just been diagnosed with CKD 3.
I am inspired by the ups and downs you struggled with and yet you managed to overcome and get back to your goals.
I need not to give up. That’s one of my goals. Important because of how easy that would be. I’m a single woman 68 in years.
Super inspiring! I weighed 260 over 10 years ago, plateaued at 200 to 205 and once in a while down to 195. I made a commitment to walk as many times a week and eat healthy and I am at 192 with a goal to get down to 170 to 175. Salute brother!
Never apologize for Sponsors. You can't get your message out there without recurring revenue. I can tell you only go with products you can stand behind. Ps. Great video!
I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone talk about the mental/emotional aspect of weight loss and transformation. That was so validating and encouraging. Thank you!
Wow, loved this msg from Thomas coming from the heart. In 2019 I lost 25lbs felt amazing and relapsed a year later gained it all back. On March 2021 I had to do it all over again, it was hard but I am happy to say that I lost the 25lbs again and I have a much healthier relationship with my body now. Thank you Thomas you are like a big brother in the keto community!
Just started my journey this past Sunday. I look forward to meeting myself next year and everything I hope to accomplish. Thanks for your channel.
I used to look at you like, " Man he's CONSTANTLY FLEXING! He seems so VAIN!" . But after this video, I'm apologetic and realize I was judgmental. This one was so vulnerable and REAL! I heard every word with an amplifier and I now have MAD respect for you. Your struggle is our struggle and I thank you for your transparency.✌🏽🙏🏽
Continue to look at people that way! Your world will forever change for the better!
It is human to be judgmental. It is instinctual for survival. At 70 it's something I still struggle with daily. One thing that has helped me stop making snap judgements about people was to take the time to talk to people more. It is surprising how even a brief verbal interaction with someone can change our opinions about them. We never know the personal struggles that everyone deals with both in their past but daily. So, yes, listen to that, so called, gut feeling but also take a deep breath and be logical about it (sill a struggle for me). Thank you for posting your comments. Hopefully, it will help others to do the same. Matt's journey is certainly inspirational.
@@rouxchat6033 thank you❤
He works too hard to be hiding his body. He is proud of what he achieved. Someone should be able to show case there achievements without being called vain.

“Totally on, totally off..”
I can so relate to this. I am so all or nothing.
Why am I crying through this video?!!!
Ditto I was crying as well. I am all or nothing as well.
I'm all or nothing too and I have relapsed so many times. What he says here is so relatable. Its gold. It feels good to know that we are capable of getting back to a better self. :)
@@inigoacuna2184 All or nothing, yep that's me. 2 months into my journey, down 16 lbs with IF and calorie deficit daily, great video.
Im 58yo, Native American, Navajo. I started gaining weight in 1995 after the death of a loved one. I gain 30 pounds in 7 months. At 200 pounds, I never returned. In Jan 2024, weigh in at 252 lbs. Over these years I became sick. Diagnosed with hypothyroid after Graves disease, diabetic, low testosterone, high estrogen, and kidney/ liver issues. Its April 2024, weighing 226 lbs and a1c 6.0 from 8.0. Keto and fasting is my only option. Veganism set me over the threshold into diabetes. I thought it was genetics but insulin resistant. I was afraid I would have a sugar crash, but my body somehow reset itself. No more meds that only treated the symptoms. I needed healing. I have a lifetime journey, literally. I look forward to the changes. Be blessed for sharing your journey. They are encouraging and very informative.
this was exactly what i needed to hear today. after losing 44 pounds and regaining it all back, you have once again inspired me to start over. I thank you for that.
Never give up!!

I’m 7 weeks in to my transformation journey. Currently down 20 lbs of my 150 lb weight loss goal. I find tremendous inspiration in your journey, and your other videos have helped me learn to embrace and love the processes that go into weight loss. I’m so grateful I discovered your channel, IF, and finally decided to really take things serious and make a major change in my life.
Love this story! I'm on my fasting journey started at 302 I'm 45 6'0 it's been 6 months and hard work but the scales at the doctors office this morning said 243. I'm making a choice to be around for my daughter thank you!! For the motivation and all the knowledge you share for free at that your awesome man.
when people are open and honest there sincerity shines through Thomas you are a inspiration and much needed in the difficult times we are going through
Acknowledge what you feel but act on what you know
Love this

This video really hit me and made me tear up a couple of times. Thank you for being so real and so encouraging. Your videos are helping me to stay motivated during a really difficult time.
Man! This video touched me in the heart...this was raw and straight from the soul and heart!! This is the kind of guy I’d follow into fitness war! Keep the material coming brother!!
Thomas. You are either the worlds greatest actor, or you are a legit, real person throwing your life out there for the betterment of others. I am pretty sure it is the latter as you don't come across at all as a "plastic" fake person. thanks for the insight and advice. Most of all thanks for sharing your experiences for all of us to use as inflection.
I don't hate on anyone for making a living. If they do it for all the right reasons, there is no shame in making the money that comes with helping others. Kudo's to you.
I think he is a bit of both. Just sift through his content, use common sense and pick out the stuff that makes sense and ignore the bullshit. After all his goal is to make money.
I’m a emotional eater. I have had a bad health situation happen to me and I gained 60 pounds. I’m on my journey this year and I found your videos. It’s like a pep talk. Thank you for this. I got this.
Yes!
How’s it going now, Stacy?
I literally had tears listening to u, it really shows the amount of dedication u hav given to it and be passionate about talking about it
So damn encouraging. A real life story told with genuine humility. Thank you.
This episode is definitely in my top 5 favorites! I wish you well Thomas.
I have been overweight most of my life. I am 18 at the moment and your video's are really motivational. Thank you.
Emile Hoffmann, Start slowly, you can do it. Be kind & loving towards yourself and keep going. Hugs.
Poor habits can ruin your life but its never too late to change your routine. Im 60 and still hopeful and changing my bad habits too. May The Lord and Thomas guide your journey!
Thanks for this "outside the box" description of how this can be done.
I needed this type of encouragement today. Beautiful family, doggo's too! ♡
Thank you for helping so many people including myself. Your an inspiration- don’t ever stop!❤️
Sorry. Just hearing those first words, brought tears to my eyes. I’ve hated myself for so long, and all I hear is you need to like yourself before others like you. It makes you feel helpless.
I’ve tried so many diets, and after the last one two years ago, I was diagnosed
With autoimmune hepatitis and colitis, which sent me on a downward spiral and ended up gaining 4 stone that I can’t seem to shift. With this low carb attempted Keto, I feel better and I don’t seem to crave food all of the time.
Thank you for you videos. I will keep watching and will hope to shed the pounds🤧😘
I wish u best friend
Realtalk almost cried while watching this. You deserve everything you have today bro. Keep doing you.
How has this not got like 20 Million views? THE MOST authentic, down to earth, humble, and REAL video on body transformation Ive seen, and to also add, THE MOST authentic fitness channel! No girls with their butts out at the gym, no extravagant BS, pure, real content, with information that will change so many lives. Im starting KETO and I.F. next week! Thanks Thomas!
Thomas, you had me tearing up. I’ve been on weight loss rollercoasters for too long. I’m starting today. Thank you. I’m subscribing to your channel and I’ve got close to 100 lbs to lose. I’ve tried some of your techniques and they definitely helped me. I can’t stop this time. I need this so badly.
Thank you Thomas. You've helped me change my life. If I hadn't accidentally come across your channel 18 months ago, I'd probably be well over 300lbs by now. With your guidance I've lost 65 lbs of fat. I have relapsed and I have "fallen off the the wagon" at points. But I'm ok with it. It helped me realize that this isn't just about losing weight. It's about changing my relationship with food and alcohol. If you ever need some Canadians on your team, I'm there. Thanks again. JL
Thomas you are what I call a “real” person.. thank you for your honesty and humility - but most of all the love 💕 you serve up.. it really comes through..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.. thank you young man.. continue to be “you”..💝
I just found Thomas DeLauer yesterday and I feel like a sponge! I just can't get enough of his videos. I love that he EXPLAINS what is important and what to stay away from on Keto, and he explains in layman's terms. Knowledge is power!
Your mental Clarity and ability to speak so clearly speaks volumes in support of your lifestyle and accomplishments!...youre an inspiration to me! You have reason to be very proud of yourself!
Thomas has been a huge inspiration to my progress and helping show me the path to self love and being overall healthier. Start weight was 315lbs. Currently 240lbs! with about 40lbs to go!
Cheers! My start weight is the exact same and it sounds like we have the same target goal. I’m starting “again”, but I’m ready to conquer. Keep it going! Seeing your success is inspiring.
Was 315 but enough is enough had to lose it
You go Bryan....
How tall are you
I wish I had found you many years ago. Weight loss has always been a struggle. Your videos are an inspiration.
Honestly you’ve answered all my questions regarding fat loss and it is so amazing to know the science side to getting healthy. From IF to acv, I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you!!
My phase of transformation is me coming to terms with my eating disorder. Your videos have helped me tremendously begin to recover on a healthy path of truly understanding my body's relationship with food. I've suffered from anorexia almost my whole life - and I have always dealt with it alone. Your videos are here to help people with weight loss, but you help me with healthy weight gain and understanding the DIFFERENCE between fasting and starving, eating and binging and health and fitness. I want to say thank you and keep doing everything you do .
How is this guy SO REAL😭😭 This story really touched me and love his transparency, but I also love how emotionally cognizant he is, too.
Thanks Thomas for always being honest and straightforward, and that is why the people support you and watch your videos.
I stumbled upon this video and I’m so happy I watched this because I started keto and fell off and then started and fell off again. I wasn’t happy with myself and watching this video made me realize that my mental health has a lot to do with it. And I have hate towards myself but I know after this video, I’m not the only one. I can do this 💪🏼 Thanks Thomas
I needed this today 😭😓 You’re light and I’m so grateful to be warmed have found this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I’ve been so focused on my body and how Unhappy I’m with it. My mental health is in dire need. The only thing that helps workout out and watching magnificent ppl like you 😭😭😭 your words are immensely a lifesaver. Eternal love for you and your loved ones 😭😭😭😭
This was one of the most real talks! This message was a gift!
That my brother was getting real! Keto and IM have been so instrumental in my life’s transformation, but it wasn’t until I learned how to control my thoughts and become mentally fit that I realized the real gains. Thank you for telling your story and letting people know it’s OK “not” to be OK all the time. Bringing in the mental aspect of physical well being is one of the missing links that so many others ignore or gloss over. Living from the heart, in the present, rather than from the ego and allowing the past and future to distort the now, will put everything positive into hyperdrive. Surround all of that with a healthy spiritual serenity and you become unstoppable. However, like you said, we all have relapses and bad days, sometimes bad weeks, but just be aware that this is part of the process of life. As we said in the military, “embrace the suck”...and move forward! Keep up the good work Thomas, it’s much appreciated.
Beautifully stated! Thank you, from a fellow veteran. ♡

Love your message of applying self-love, awareness, forgiving yourself in the journey to weight loss and beyond! The body is a vessel in which we express our special light. Be well in mind and body. It goes hand in hand.
Your channel has been insanely transforming! I've never kept up a routine longer than a month until hearing you go in depth about the science behind fasting an proper diet with so much ease. Sincerest thanks!
Hey Thomas, even years after you made this, it is still touching and teaching people, me included. It’s a deep look in the mirror and thank you for you opening your heart and guts to the audience. Be blessed, you are being heard and making a difference. Thank you ❤
I started my journey on June 1 at a weight I never thought I would be. I was always the skinny one! Now I have 100 pounds of fat to loose. Stress of loosing my job, my home, moving in with my family who didn’t have to care what they ate. Little by little, sitting around not being active, I gained 100 lbs over about 2 years. I made up my mind that I had to change, fast ... or I had to go buy new clothes at a bigger size than I ever did. I found low carb, and researching that I found you and learned how to make it work for me. Thank you for your experience and sharing your knowledge with us. I have learned a lot. I have lost 22 pounds in one month! A long way to go but I started, and that’s a bigger deal than anything!
I'm in the same exact situation as you! I haven't started my keto yet. What did you do to start losing weight? Just following Thomas? Or doing other things?
Amen
I’m hoping your results have been better than mine. I lost about 55 pounds up until last December. Too much stress in my life snd a lot of anti keto family members. But I felt so good and was actually looking good! I have gained some weight back but it’s time to get going again. My birthday is Monday so I’m giving my self until Tuesday! Gotta have cake for my big 65!! Then right back on track. I want to back to where I was by Christmas if not more. I still have 65 to go, by summer time I want to buy a new swim suit! Good luck to everyone.
Love how you speak to the humanity of the process. It’s so relatable on so many levels. Thank you for the encouragement!
It felt like this video was made for me, right in this moment. Thank you for your transparency!
I have been watching you for awhile now (about a year) and I just found this video of yours. You are so real and inspiring. I'm glad I stumbled on you when I did. You've changed my life and you clearly keep changing lots of other peoples as well. Thanks again.
You just told me everything I desperately needed to be told at this stage of my life. Thank you. Very, very much!
It is really eye opening to see that even the ones that look elite like him, also struggles with life's normal challenges.
Thank you for this video, it's inspiring.
Honestly Everything you said hits home and makes perfect sense. I started my journey about 2 months ago and now at 47 years old I have come to terms with much of what you said before I heard this this morning.
You speak truth and genuine.
I am proud of you that you share this with people that may be able to make changes before they hit 47 yr old...
This was an absolutely amazing video. Thank you so much for your honesty. It is very refreshing to hear and see.
Forget your haters. You are a good person and doing good for people.
As for those stretch marks... be proud of them. They are scars to remind you that your pain and accomplishments were real!
Keep moving forward, Tom!
Thomas very proud of you for keeping it real🤜🤛
Went from running marathons in my 30’s to lifting in my 40’s because of knee pain.
Then started fasting and I’m in the best shape of my life at 47💪💪
Clicks on video: "It's okay to hate yourself"
I wasn't expecting that.
Edit: nice vid. Respect 🙌
Thomas you're amazing dude.Keep being this real version of yourself
Thomas, thank you. I am 100 lbs in. Now the hard 100. Great to hear your experience and strength. On a second serious plateau. Great to have you with me.
7 years ago I thought my weight loss journey was complete. Through Intermittent Fasting and a Paelo diet I lost 100 pounds. Spent the last 7 years taking my eye off the ball and lying to myself. Gained all the weight back, plus a little. Started Keto yesterday in large part due to these videos. Here goes round 2.
You're gonna do fine, Ed. More support and info than ever now!
Never give up !!!
How are you getting on? best of luck to you
You got this
You can do it
Thomas, i love this, this is huge, mental health is the most important
Thank you Thomas for this video, last month I began my keto/IF journey and in spite of some success am stalling already and feeling low...really encouraged listening to you say that its ok...I will keep going!!! And keep watching!!!! Thanks!
My first video of Thomas and I can relate to every bit of it!
This guy seems genuine! Glad I came here!
This is what I like about tom: he doesnt get into a rabbit hole about his life and is an absolute straight shooter. Its refreshing
Thank you Thomas, This is possibly the most important video you could have made right now. Thank you for addressing the unintended development of eating disorders. Thank you for addressing the concerns of those who recently joined the IF challenge and some who just started Keto, who are going through a lot of mental struggles on you facebook forum. And thank you for being there, for me, these past 13 months, where I've seen 50+ pounds of weight loss, (with an intentional stall from May to November), but more importantly, a reduction in inflammation that allows me to move again, and be able get through long flights without my knees aching. You are an inspiration, and your team is doing a great job of making you presentable.
WOW! This was such an AMAZING Video! Your humility and the emotional availability to your journey that you put in this vid is so appreciated. I can really tell that this has been a struggle for you. But you came out clean on the other side, as well as successful. This vid is more than motivating... it's EVERYTHING!!! New subbie. PERIOD!
Thank you for your courageous and inspirational story, i'm in the middle of doing intermittent fasting too and still going on. This video gives me so much reason to keep going.
Loved how you said, “It’s ok to be alone some time” and “Anger Drive”. Just loved it.
Much respect. This is exactly how far I have to go, 100 pounds... and it seems SO FAR away! Your story is very uplifting and gives me encouragement that maybe I can do it as well I do agree that fasting is the key. I could not agree more about stress and getting control over that first. Feeling great so far! You are amazing, thank you!
THANK YOU for this! It's the best video I have seen from you. My wife and I both lost weight with intermittent fasting & keto, but then she had shoulder surgery and has been very limited for two months and we have been eating much less healthy out of convenience as I never cooked (although I am learning), but between work & our farm upkeep & house chores etc. - I really needed the "its okay to relapse" message. I had lost 33lbs but have gained about half back. I sent the video to my wife for inspiration that we will be able to get back on track and this is just a little setback. God Bless you for this work! J&T 58 & 53.
God Bless you Thomas! You have came a long way and stayed humble and real.
I lost 10 lbs before the holidays in my 50 lb weight loss journey gained it all back!!! 😠 Thanks for the encouragement!!!💯🥊
I’m seeing that the reason I eat is 100% emotional. I eat to comfort myself. I’ve not been eating to live, I’ve been living to eat, for the distraction that eating affords me. As I’ve started an IF plan, I’ve come to this realization.
I'm exactly like you, in love with the way my body responds to food and stress. Love your video's!
