Losing 105 pounds in three months is almost a pound a day. What’s your big advice?
My first tip is this: “If you take health advice from a Las Vegas magician, you are an idiot.” That said, my advice is … make it hard. Easy is your enemy. Don’t believe those articles that say, “Just cut your portions down by 20%,” “Skip dessert” or “Cut out sodas.” Yeah, that seems logical. But it doesn’t work for me — I want to lose a pound a day. I want to see the scale go like this [points straight down].
I don’t consider myself special. For anybody, there’s no pride in doing things easy. No one brags about walking up the little grassy slope. They brag about climbing Everest. Decide it’s going to be hard and do it like the other things that are hard in your life.But when someone said, “This is going to be as hard as getting your own theater in Vegas” —I don’t respect moderation. In my whole life, I always thought, the easy way is not fun. So the way I lost weight made me proud.
All diet is habit. We have the disadvantage of being born in a very rich country with food everywhere. And changing your eating desires takes years.You gotta do it, but I didn’t until I hit my target weight. It sounds counterintuitive but exercise is easier on your cardiovascular system and joints if you lose weight first — especially if you’re 100 pounds overweight. Now I do what everyone does — the elliptical and weights.
I started writing at twice the speed. We got much more material at Penn and Teller. Everything went better.
He’s right about intermittent fasting, human beings (or any animal) are not designed to sit down to 3 meals a day, it makes no biological sense.
I lost 40 using intermittent fasting. His views and diet and very extreme folks. It doesn’t have to be that way. Read “The Obesity Code.” It changed my life.
I'll pass. Meat, medium rare and three meals a day. Enjoy life. But then I didn't need to lose 100lbs. Oh and when it comes to things like moderation? Yes, when it comes to cheeseburgers moderation is a good thing.
Oh. He needs help.
Sounds like he might have swapped one ED for another... 🤷🏻♂️
Hard. Core. Vegan.
best diet i ever had, one meal per day, vegan, same time everyday. added benefit? u enjoy that meal more than any 3x/day diet. felt better, looked better.
If a woman does this, it’s for sure criticized and called an eating disorder
is this only Not Disordered Eating bc the ~fat guy~ is now ~normal weight~ or
This sounds really fucking dangerous.
That all sounds awful.
The real magic was the eating disorders we picked up along the way.
He is so brilliantly funny
Amazing
just talk to DrNadolsky
Intermittent fasting works! I personally find 23 hours extreme, but 12-16 hours is certainly doable for me, especially on weekends
Fat has Memory, just like muscles 💪🏽 have memory. 🤔 The former comes with indulgence, the latter comes with effort. Reseting his weight will take Penn Jillette years. Wishing him success 🍽
Wow, terrible advice. Don’t do that diet.
