The Joe Rogan Experience you look like you've lost a large child for your body 86 pounds that's right that's a large child I know that you want to take credit for it because fat shaming works exactly but I can't give you all the credit no you you deserve all the credit yeah I didn't do anything so because I just was concerned for your well-being and so I was just saying if you really are saying that you want to get healthy and you really are saying that you want to play soccer and do all these things again like a friend has to be brutally honest with you yeah well that's a hard one that's a hard one because nobody wants to hear they're gaining weight or they've gained weight or that they have to make radical changes to their life I'm actually at the lowest weight since I think 88. that's incredible size waist 33. how much better do you feel phenomenal outrageous isn't it incredible like if they could give you that in a pill just the feeling how it feels to be 86 pounds lighter yeah clip oh my God I mean just to give you a sense so that we could put it into metrics when I was overweight our lovemaking session was only an hour and a half of a victory whereas now I've doubled it congratulations thank you how do you have so much time it's incredible it's my wife is Lebanese she's spicy she demands a lot of me what did you do other than exercise and like would it like how did you shift your diet so two things number one fifteen to twenty thousand steps a day no matter what no matter what so it's been almost now two and a half years that I haven't done a single day of less than ten thousand steps now the steps could be treadmill it could be walking outside it could be running vigorously on the you know whatever it could be liking but I always have with me this actually is it one of those pedometers those pedometer things and uh I'm obsessive about maintaining so just by having this clear objective that I have to reach makes it that no matter what I've got to get off you know off the proverbial couch and walk around it's -20 in Montreal I'm walking outside until I reach that wow so that's but I was always quite Physically Active of course much of your weight loss comes from keeping this guy closed yeah that's the thing that people need to work it's
very very very very very difficult to exercise your weight of weight loss exactly and so what I did uh so my wife who's here who you've known her for many years she's a amazing woman she turned into the diet gestapo she says she's got she's got this MyFitnessPal they're getting I guess free publicity on the number one show in the world so through my fitness pal she would she enters till today every single thing that goes into this gorgeous body at the end of the day she says don't have any snacks you're at 17 27 and you were supposed to get under 1700. so by having that uh feedback loop that's always keeping you in check plus the so the third thing and as I weigh myself once a week so that the auto corrective mechanism comes in not when I've now when I'm now 227 in terms of weight but if I've come to Texas and then I go on the scale and I've gained three pounds well now I need I know that I need to correct the following week so these little changes I mean there's nothing magical just doing that I guess if I can add a fourth thing I remove the All or Nothing mindset in the past I mean I the highest weight I reached you can you and you won't offend me can you from from knowing me for many years do you know how heavy I got I guess you can calculate well if I look at you now you look like you weigh about 165 pounds I'm 170. very good I'm good at weight classes a lot of years exactly um and I would imagine the heaviest you got was probably close to 300 pounds 256. yeah okay so that's the 86 pounds so 256 foreign that's the heaviest that I maybe I could have been more that I'm aware of that I've actually seen it on the scale was 256 I had gone from my yearly physical and I got on the scale and I was 256 which is the average weight for a six foot four middle linebacker yeah who's you know eight inches taller yeah that's scary and so so I removed the All or Nothing mindset and that I need to lose all the weight by next Tuesday you know my mindset was as long as every day I'm a bit better eventually you know the old baby steps thing and so I get on I'm now 10 pounds this 20 pounds hey let me try to get under 200 I am and then bit by bit magically here I am for a message if you have a message to anybody out there that's trying to do it what would it be what's the most important thing it's
that there are 1 000 different Temptations in a day for you to violate your goal and you can almost never fail you don't have to be so punishing but 997 out of the 1000 bifurcations in the road you have to take the right Road and so do that enough days enough times get 9.97 out of a thousand and suddenly you'll be 30 40 50 pounds later just trust the process trust the process and that's that's what's hard for people to do because they really do want immediate results and uh the way I always describe it there's a there's a gambling term that you have to get better the same way you get sick it's like uh if you're gambling say if you and I were playing pool and I was ahead of hundred games and you said double or nothing I would say no no you got to get better the same way you got sick right because I'm up 100 games why would I get why would I risk losing at all in one one shot no no no yeah and that's that's how it is with weight loss you got to get better the same way you got sex slowly over time and it's been now you know the the usual thing is that you put it back on uh I've now you know had it off for for quite a while so I'd like to think that I'm in my steady state now but well you've become aware now of the value of being thin and healthy and you've become aware of how good it you feel yeah I don't think you're a smart man you're not going to go back exactly have you did you ever have any trouble with your way I mean I've been like five pounds overweight before 10 pounds overweight that's it yeah and then I always like oh you fat [ __ ] and I lose the weight now is that is that because of your glove no no not putting on why didn't you ever put on more weight it's not an option I'm not getting fat is it literally a vanity issue uh no it's a health issue I work out I do martial arts yeah if I'm fat I can't I can't work out like if I can I I feel it it's like I put sludge in my engine yeah you know like the fattest I ever got I think I got to like 207 one time and it's you know for me it goes right here goes on my sides and in my belly and if it's also is eating a lot pasta which is just not for me whenever I do that I always feel like [ __ ] and uh I just overeat but I work out a lot so it keeps it in check for the most part but I can get it it can get away from me if I'm
stupid because I just uh I still eat like a teenager I eat like I eat as much as I want like I eat large amounts of food but you you do mainly the protein stuff right yes mainly mainly I eat meat but I eat mostly Meat and Fish and fruit that's mostly what it is so I guess the fifth element of when you asked me what how do I lose weight I also remove moved all the carbs almost all of it once in a while I you know I have a bit of something but so what is a daily meal for you like so breakfast I may have one or two boiled eggs lunch might be my wife and I go to the Peruvian rotisserie place that we probably go to four times in a week which I'll get a quarter of a chicken with a bit of coleslaw vinegary coleslaw not creamy coleslaw I might have one or two snacks around mid-afternoon which might be things like a hundred grams of frozen raspberries a little yogurt of 70 calories and then dinner will be a fantastic salad that if you looked at the volume you'd think my God how are you losing so much weight but it only has you know five six ounces of protein but it's voluminous so that I feel full I may have another you know a little snack at eight o'clock 70 80 calories and I've reached my 15 16 1700 calories
