[@Joe-nh8eq]

So though I overall agree with you that 1200 calorie diet isn't the way to go for weight loss, BUT I think there's a bit of a misconception with the diet plan. The diet plan is not there to just lose weight, the reason for the 1200 calorie diet is because they need to shrink the liver in order to gain access to stomach. The liver is very large, fatty, immobile, and sits on top of the stomach. And the general sentiment that the fastest way to shrink such a large liver to the proper size is through a very rigorous diet. The other alternative is to go completely Keto, allow the patient to eat as much food as they want as long as it has no carb or sugars, but the surrounding notion is this takes longer to shrink the liver. And on this, there's really not much research done. It's kind of hard to find a large enough population of 600+ lb people and test how much their liver shrinks on various diets, so most bariatric surgeons lean towards being as conservative as possible hence the 1200 diet. Going under anes is highly dangerous for someone at this weight, and the worst possible outcome would be going through the process, anes, making the incisions, dissecting through the tissue only to find you can't access the stomach due to the size of the liver. Also, just for the record, I tell all my bariatric patients to start Keto the second they decide to start looking at having bariatric surgery. This way by the time they're in their 2 week pre-op they've already lost a significant amount of weight especially in the liver. Its of course up to the bariatric surgeon to decide his protocol, but a lot of patient end up having a significantly easier pre-op diet because they started Keto a few months to a year ago, and have already shrunk their liver.

And that the part that contributes to human growth hormone is almost completely cutt out? Hence why patients ( I say victims) are left with a older face and body when done with this progress. Wounds heal slower.. hair and teeth fall out with allot of “ patients” and the part of the hunger hormone can grow a bit back in other parts of the stomach so in time some Patients do experience hunger again and that’s the reason they almost all (90%) gain all the weight back and then some? And that you need food to fuel your body and burn fat. And when you get this done you stop the energy burning and can’t process or burn the fuel and people are on a sure coarse to get fat again🙄 I was in this traject and didn’t go trew with it in The Netherlands where I’m from. A patient or better said victim died a few days post surgery do to the stomach lining was infected peritonitis. The doctors don’t really put focus on that part I hade to ask what the risks Were and then they went over it briefly.. but yeah she died 😔 A better way is to fix the problem why you got fat in the first place diet and exercise and focus on therapy to find out what’s the root of the problem. A bypass or sleeve is not a safe fix for a problem that’s not in the stomach but in the mind, body and soul. If people would use food to fuel their body and learn about what spikes your insuline they can skip certain foods and get healthier options. I’ve notice I don’t do good on carbs and and better off doing low carb or keto. And get of the couch and DO something. Fat people are often laizy not all but allot are.

[@dog1dog223]

Coach Greg is actually way off the mark on this one. The 1200 calorie a-day, high protein no carb diet is not only so they will rapidly lose the weight that they need to, but also because it is 100% imperative that they significantly demonstrate the ability to eat much LESS VOLUME of food due to the nature of the surgery, which will be MASSIVELY reducing their stomach capacity. If they are unable to demonstrate the ability to eat SIGNIFICANTLY less capacity prior to surgery, then the bypass surgery will fail- either in the very short term (which could be fatal), or in the slightly longer term in which they will simply stretch their stomach back out to huge sizes over time. Greg's cookbook could be of good use to them down the road- after they have fully recovered from the surgery and established some some slightly more adaptive eating habits- and help them maintain their reduced size.

I was under the impression that with lap band surgery you physically couldn't eat a lot because you'd just vomit it back up?

I am thinking if they could switch to the cookbook way of eating they wouldn't even need the surgery. Much healthier long term to have your original stomach but lose the weight. The problem is these people are true addicts and out of control. Many of them fail after the surgery as well because they eat through the new small stomach with high calorie dense foods. They regaining all the initial lost weight.

[@serialvapist5807]

I think his point was that they don't need surgery, they just need to eat less calorie dense foods. These surgeries are dangerous and anecdotally don't work.

I was watching this show recently and totally imagining Greg Doucette on the show! It would be amazing. After watching your videos, I'm dismayed that they put people on a 1,200 calorie diet. It seems detrimental and behind the times.

[@amyv.2130]

I agree. If these folks eat 10,000 calories/day, they could cut down to 2,000, 2,500, or even 3,000 and would still lose weight.

[@institutoshizen]

Greg, you're the MAN! Excelente work being 💯% transparent over your own merch price! Props 👏🔥👊

[@chillingwithhenny7175]

I know I’m the kind that was heading in that direction I was 290+ at 28 years old. I’m almost 31 at 168. I did all the hard work myself(cooking/exercising) but watching over 700 videos in 1+ year I got all the tools I needed from coach to succeed. Meals that are filling no starvation at all!!! I only fast IF IM FAST ASLEEP!!!!! 4-5 meals a day for the gains 💪😁 thank you as always coach!! Todays video had me super fired up 🔥🔥🔥🤩🔥🔥🔥

[@AustinMania316]

Greg why don't you pull a play from the Heart Attack Grill playbook and gift your cookbook to people who prove they weight above 500lbs? Would be a great help to them and they'd get the word out that they lost weight with it.

[@buyahondasupercub]

Can confirm, when you're fat just living a normal life is a workout. I'm only about 350lbs at my worst, but shit like going up stairs at a train station breaks me, at least during summer

[@laurap158]

Coach Greg collaborate with Dr. Now for these folks!!

[@randomactsofmindless6531]

I lost 60lbs on a chicken, broccoli, and rice type diet. I have lost on the same diet multiple times and always gained the weight back. This time, I knew it wasn't sustainable and began looking for a diet that I could follow for the rest of my life. I found your channel. I applied the principles in your videos, made your recipes, applied your techniques to some of my own recipes, and here I am after 2 years. The 60lbs is still gone. Proud lifelong member of the circle family!

[@DeRockMedia]

wow man thats rad, its all about maintaining...some days are more difficult than others but the consistency is what keeps me on my path.

[@mister3449]

Bro can u please go on that show and show them what’s up. That would be soo entertaining

[@pensinseo7745]

you should approach the dude and help him for real, would make some good content and save his life

[@EnhancedChimp]

I think the restrictive diet is to prepare them for gastric surgery. It's not meant to be a lifestyle change.

[@LionheartSJZ]

Greg, why not start your own KZbin series where you coach one of those fattys the right way? I'm sure this would be super successful, possibly even adapted by a television network. Plus, you'd probably be saving lives.

[@TheGamingCookie101]

Best ad for coach Greg's cookbook ever

[@TeamYouphoric]

1:58 a leisurely walk would be good enough for him.

[@djsusiequ2422]

Actually gastric bypass surgery outweighs all the risks of staying obese. A few hours after the surgery most diabetic patients experience a drop in blood sugar, that can take months just by dieting. Some people cannot move and are bedbound, so they need the surgery and a 1200 cal diet to achieve a significant amount of weight loss.

[@knowledge_driven]

Anybody got any advice! I am 5'8 and 290 pounds and I am very active because I lift weights and can box for 2 hour on heavy bag.) But my doctor never say nothing about my weight even if I am to big for my height and I am wondering why I never see anybody my height at 290lbs unless they're on steroids.) Only thing being this big brought into my life is high blood pressure, being unattractive to opposite sex and having a fat neck, man boobs and stretch marks on arms even though I lift weights and do boxing)

[@Ketobodybuilderajb]

[@implementablesteps77]

Coach greg speaking fax harder than last time 👍

[@zackhouse3059]

Hey Greg! Love the content on this channel, keep up the great work!

[@AuralayKristine]

This is why I love Coach Greg. He's REALISTIC. None of the crash dieting crap, none of the 'this food is bad' crap, just--figure out what works for YOU, find something YOU can maintain, and STICK WITH IT! That's how I've been FINALLY losing weight for the first time in my life! I'm 88lbs down with 118 to go and I eat what I want, I just stay within a deficit!

[@djsusiequ2422]

Sometimes these super obese patients go on a crash diet because they are running out of time and need to lose the weight fast.

[@JemyM]

I lost 70lbs this year so far. Before I lost that I couldn't really move. Every attempt to exercise I gave up. But after losing my first 40lbs through intermittent fasting I could suddenly move on my own. I could suddenly walk downhill and back where I live. Soon I walked around the block. Soon I walked around the park. Soon I took the first short hiking trail. They got longer. And longer. Then I got the idea to walk every marked hiking trail within 30 minutes drive. Now I walk 12.5 miles and I walked them all. My vitals are awesome. I still have 55lbs to lose but the speed and consistency in which I lose weight now is insane. I got my life back. But I wouldn't have been here without first losing those 40 through intermittent fasting. Moral of the story; in general coaches and doctors have no clue what it's like to do *any* exercise at all with that amount of extra weight on you.

[@booleah6357]

I do have one slight critique Greg. In the case of most of these extremely obese people many of them need to lose the weight very quickly or they could die. I'm not saying I completely agree with Dr. Now's diet but I do have to say it's so low in calories for a reason. Edit: I suppose I should clarify a bit. The low restriction is because many of these people are completely bedbound. When that happens usually the low restriction is put on them to help them regain mobility and by no means is it meant to be a permanent thing. It is not sustainable to continuously eat 1200 calories or less permanently and sustainability is a large part of successfully keeping unwanted weight off and staying healthy.

[@sebastiansullivan4770]

but that reason doesnt matter if people dont even remotely stick to it.

[@tehevilengineer7939]

yes, and it is vastly easier to lose stupid amounts of weight if you are so crammed full of low-calorie 'filler' food.

[@ashina5924]

Low calorie doesn't mean 1200 cals a day for a 700lbs man, that guy can eat 4-5k easily and lose 20-30lbs in a month

[@booleah6357]

@@ashina5924 these people are so obese they need to lose a lot more than that or they could die that's what I'm trying to say.

[@booleah6357]

@@sebastiansullivan4770 this is true and why I don't agree with what's on Dr. Now's diet plan. It just doesn't satisfy the hunger of someone that big. Coach Greg is right.

I was eating 1600cal when I was cutting, from coach Greg's cookbook, all my meals were more than 500 grams and my total protein was 190, I'm a big dude that can eat, I was 280 pounds at the time, currently around 230 with 13% body fat. Never had issues with hunger whatsoever :)

[@MaddieFishblob]

Also, to save his life, he should get more guidance than a checkup every 2 months. I think weekly weigh ins with a doctor to hold him accountable, discuss what’s working and what isn’t, and make adjustments along the journey would see more success

[@Vr4z1el]

I disagree with greg on this one. These people are special cases. They have stomachs the size of footballs, so if they ate to fill their stomachs even if its low cal high volume foods, they would still be eating more than 3k cal per meal and still gain weight. So the idea is to get them to learn to eat small amounts, even if it doesn't fill up their oversized stomachs. They need to learn to eat small amounts so when they have the surgery they don't continue eating high volume foods (low cal or not) and stretch out their stomachs again, and reverse the surgery. These cases are complicated so Greg's diet book wouldn't work for them initially. Maybe after they have learned to change their mindset. But not in the beginning, when filling a overstretched stomach is like filling an empty void.

[@killamilla702]

GREG Just Make Damn Cook Show already!!!

[@khatdubell]

Greg, I think you’re missing the point here. It’s not about them losing the weight, the surgery will do that. It’s about testing them to follow through with what they promise to do.

[@tehevilengineer7939]

yeah, but if it was too low, he was bound to fail just by not withstanding being painfully hungry 18 hours a day.

[@khatdubell]

@@tehevilengineer7939 Actual change is never easy. I’m not saying I agree with the doctors approach, but the reason these people are that overweight is because they always take the easy path. That’s why they even want the surgery. They want to be thin, but don’t want to put in the effort. They want the shortcut. If they can’t prove a willingness to change, even with the surgery, they will just end up fat again.

[@Uwolz]

Greg always does this and people suck him off lol. That diet isn’t supposed to be long term. They have fatty liver and need to lose weight fast to get the surgery. He has plenty of patients that succeeded. He watch one episode and thinks he knows it all. Dr Now fully sets up a support system and if they don’t try that’s on them.

[@dawnpost2657]

From what I’ve seen on that show a lot of the spouses/family members enable them or eat a bunch of garbage in front of them knowing they aren’t supposed to have it and that’s another reason why they can’t stick to the diet

[@ArthAlexLp]

3 minutes talking about the video topic - 10 minutes selling his cookbook. I’ve been Greg’s fan since he had 100k subs but now it’s starting to be annoying…

[@Hawkeyes5999]

I thought there was gonna be more substance to the video but it was mainly a promotional video for the cookbook

[@evezoepugh2062]

I did my diets perfectly, from the very first one. I always came off the diet, but always kept a habit or two. I always gained back some weight, but not all of it, because I never once went back to all my old habits. It wasn't planned, it just worked that way. I now have the perfect diet for me, with my dream physique. I love my diet. This video and philosophy reminds me of fat acceptance. You will fail, so don't bother trying. I can tell you now, if I ate the way you tell you people to eat, I would be SOOOO much bigger. I love mainly eating my protein and vegetables. I eat 25 grams of protein, and as much vegetables as I like. The key was to get the sugar out of my system, so I was once again able to actually taste the food.

[@cheliospanama9786]

Finding my personal diet has been difficult, but with coach Greg’s help I’m making progress. Thanks coach 👏👏🥳❤️⭕️💪🤙😎😁

[@schmitt00]

My issue with this whole nonsense is that the reason why someone got to this weight is never addressed. No one get to this weight just because you like food, this people are depressed, frustrated, lonely, disconnected and purposeless. Just changing their diets and restricting the amount of food they can eat (with the surgery) inst going to fix their life, the brain just gonna change the coping method (drinking, gambling, pick your poison) to something else until you get your lifer in order.

[@elland37]

Greg is right in terms of his strategy and theoretically it will work. This is a good platform to market and show the benefits of his books however what is not being considered is that the people profiled on this show probably have deep rooted psychological issues or trauma which is at play and has contributed to their weight gain. This is not simply a food management issue.

[@dave93x]

How on earth do you even manage to walk around or get out when you're 700lbs? Say what you want about the guy and his habits, but that's impressive.

Hey Greg, I love your videos! I’ve experienced some great results with the turkesterone. If you were to coach these guys, they’d be handing out too many surgeries.

[@keelanenns4548]

Hey Greg, your advice, not too cut calories too quickly has got me from morbid obesity to normal BMI (95 ponds lost, in 12 months. How can Dr. Now teach people to lose weight, when he's obese?

[@ruxandramariatonea6498]

But… the 1200 cal diet is not only to make them lose weight… it’s also to prepare them for after surgery. They can do serious damage if they eat huge quantities of food after surgery so yeah… the cookbook might be good for most of us but not for this specific group of people.

[@andeknuser8854]

I also did crash diet before when I was younger around 15, went 1500 calories and then below doing cardio running every day eating 800 calories. I lost 24 kilograms but at what cost, I started losing hair it became so thin, I lost most of my muscle mass and I was passing out eating 800 calories after doing cardio. I quickly put the weight back on, even more than before. After a while I just followed a structured 2400 calorie diet + weight training and cardio now I feel full all the time and I'm around 22 BMI.
