[@jessesanberg]

I have so much respect for Brian. I tried losing weight a while ago, but seeing how Brian transformed must have drastically changed his lifestyle, which takes an enormous amount of dedication. Seeing him become this healthy and doing so well on a carreer side of things just sheds a tear to my eye. I'm proud of him even though I never met him

[@BrianAltano]

That's one of the nicest KZbin comments I've ever read. Thank you so much, Jesse

[@alice0601]

I've lost 120 lbs. While I was losing, I didn't exercise at all. I simply counted my calories. I work out a lot now to gain muscle and get fit. Everything y'all have said in this video are my exact thoughts. Spot on! Thanks for spreading the word. I always like telling people who come to me for advice or just to complain about wanting to lose weight that losing weight is not easy, but it is very simple.

[@SpaceCopper]

I still can't get over Brian's weight loss - I know Nick said he weighed 265 but I just can't imagine it (saw his high school band photo but that's definitely before his peak). Great work guys, really impressive

[@BrianAltano]

I worked with Nick for years and didn't believe he was a former fat dude until he showed me pictures. I just couldn't see it. He looks better than ever now, though. Super proud of that dude.

[@SplendidMoose]

Brian Altano he needs to show us those pics!

[@casualromp]

I knew this was a Brian episode but as soon as he popped up I thought it was the guy from Cash Cab

[@BrianAltano]

Ha!

[@devonsantagato2234]

This was exactly what I needed right now. You guys are awesome.

[@iihankiii]

This is a great combination. A Kinda Funny Morning Show with Brian and Nick would be amazing.

[@crispyn64]

God, weight loss is such a godforsaken struggle. Even while watching this, in the back of my head I'm thinking about the ice cream I have in my fridge. Not gonna give up tho!

[@MansterBear]

The key is not having it in your fridge. I'm horrible with cookies and Coke / Mt Dew. I'm like "I need to stop eating fudge rounds..." but if they're in th cabinet, I'm eating them when I get done with Rocket League at 1am every time lol. It starts at the store. If it's not in the house, you won't be able to eat it!

[@jhager1]

This is great guys. Really glad you put this out. I think a majority of people could learn something useful by watching this.

[@SilvethTheRadiant]

I've been struggling for a while trying to start a keto diet, and I always give up. I watched "That Sugar Movie" just a couple days ago and was amazed and saddened by how the guy felt and changed, and how he mentioned some people who have eaten poorly their whole life might not even know what it's like to feel good. Or at least to not feel terrible, without energy, to sleep poorly, and to be unfocused and lethargic. And now I stumble into this video completely not expecting the same topic, ashamed that I just got ice cream from a corner store. Thank you for doing this. Seeing your transformation now, Brian, since I knew you from IGN for so long, is really inspiring. Thank you, and hopefully I can stay with it this time.

[@koga123asian]

Thanks for this. I could really use this episode. Awesome episode guys.

[@saiferoth]

This video is really important and Im glad you guys talked about this

[@drewmilliken4850]

I've been looking forward to this interview for some time now. Thanks for sharing what you did Brian, you look fantastic! I struggle everyday with making the right food choices so I understand everything you guys are talking about.

[@WheezyTsunami]

I loved this so much. Keep being amazing :)

[@ejhida2410]

Loved this video. Kudos guys.

[@Soulofjazzman]

awesome. Wow! Brian, you've lost so much weight, dude! O.o

[@mattcgw]

Eddie Givens, Jr. His arms look kind of brittle, but he would look amazing with neck long hair.

[@BrianAltano]

That is a weirdly terrifying picture you just put in my head.

[@Ribs4Lunch]

Super inspiring. My wife and I started the whole 30 yesterday after doing some research and can't wait to see the results. Do more of these please!

[@tysonvilleneuve]

Soooo good to see Altano on the show. When the guys left IGN, losing the dynamic with Altano was my greatest lament.

[@360dom360]

Thank you Nick and Brian for talking through this stuff.

[@DeanOSupremo32]

This is was an excellent vid. Casual, simple, and relatable.

[@The_RedVIII]

This was super inspirational and motivating. I really let myself go over the last year, so I want to change this. And I hope this video just gave me the kick in the ass I needed.

[@newtypexzerox]

Thanks for talking about this guys, Brian you're an inspiration I will be doing my best to watch what I eat from now on.

[@Jrey2690]

This was actually really helpful. Thanks for the video guys! Also Brian is an awesome guy, I didn't start watching Podcast Beyond until after Greg and Colin left so this is like a crazy clashing of my podcast worlds.

[@joshhindershield2154]

Awesome! I'm so happy to see Brian on. I remember watching him and Greg play Minecraft together years ago at IGN.

[@JustinRyanBear]

I am currently going through the steps of improving my lifestyle and this video helped a ton. Brian is a great dude and it's awesome to see him in KF content.

[@eddielopez4698]

Great job Brian! You're looking great and appreciate you being so open about it.

[@JONNYBLVZE]

Man this video is excellent, needed to hear this information, very inspirational

[@damngoodshow8]

Great show guys!

[@MachoChannel213]

Love this conversation. Funny enough, I was figuring out a solution to eat better and the balance between what you eat and exercise for the last week. This helped a lot and put things into a different perspective. I'm from the east USA and in a populated area, so it's hard AF to moderate what you eat. I just need a routine, and that book Brian mentioned sounds helpful.

[@The_Dutch_Yeti]

Saw the Metroid 2 unboxing, was like, whoa, Altano looks GREAT, found this video. Thanks for taking the time to do videos about real shit like this. My motivation is multiplying!

[@jmpowers83]

Thanks for doing this video guys. I'm 34 years old, over 300 lbs and I joined a gym for the first time in a couple years two weeks ago. I need videos like this.

[@livinglegend629]

YESSSSSS I've been looking forward to finally seeing this! Brap brap

[@jameslewis6973]

Nick is such a consummate host and Brian is such a warm, genuine presence. Lovely video, guys.

[@tommy71995]

Braapp Brapp!! Awesome episode! I'm in a similar boat with you Brian (6ft 200 lbs) and I want to start eating better, and get in better shape. Seeing a video like this helps with my mental state going into this, so I really genuinely appreciate that. Be well!

[@mps927]

I saw him on an E3 stream and couldn't believe my eyes. Looks even better now. Wow. Good for you man.

[@billgormont92]

Brian is the best. Have watched a lot of his work for a lot of years. Comes off as a genuine dude.

[@MatthewNovak]

This podcast was a wake up call. Thank you!

[@carlosbatista1816]

one the best episode u guys ever done very informative thank u

[@brennanbova1756]

Love hearing this from you guys, super inspiring. Brian is looking amazing, like a new man.

[@JampackSam]

Fantastic conversation!

[@TheGameCupboard]

I lost around 30lbs this year then hit a wall, went on holiday and fell off the wagon, and I've been feeling like shit ever since. This has inspired me to get back on the horse and try again. Thank you :)

[@megagraymon8094]

Omg I've been so excited about this. Brian is the absolute best.

[@tylergodson1494]

Love seeing you on here Brian! Looking awesome keep up the good work :)

[@Marcelo-pf8cd]

Really good guys, I enjoyed a lot this dicussion about health and everything, I´m also trying to change my eating habits, it´s good to see you discussing this topic. Thanks!

[@JDas2k]

This was a great episode. I put this up with Jose Sanchez with regards to fitness and nutrition. I try to go to the gym often but I know diet can be the fluctuating factor in my performance. My results have been sporadic and I feel like every 2-3 week I need to restart the grind again. It takes discipline and accepting moderate results vs big ass up front results. I need to work my hydration game, thanks for sharing Brian. Congratulations on your results so far.

[@rustylewis7114]

Nick and Brian though. What a stellar, dynamic duo discussion. Loved this talk. I'm getting married in a month (AUGUST 5TH!!!), so this was tremendous motivation for both my fiance and myself. Thanks, Gents!

[@ari8086]

Great talk guys, definitely going to check out that Whole 30 book for some healthy recipes!

[@matthewboechler0505]

Great episode guys. Great to hear other people's stories. At my max I was 280 pounds. I'm now 168 and I've had the weight off now for 4 years. People can totally do it if they put they're mind to it! Great to see a vid like this that might inspire someone.

[@sharpnerdgamer]

cheers, im starting today thanks :)

[@coreydemoss4781]

Brian, I'm so impressed by the positive changes you've made in your life. It's damn inspiring! A question: My work hours often make it impossible to go to the gym, so are there good workouts you recommend that are doable at home? I've overhauled my diet and consistent workouts are next on my to-do list, but my time constraints make it difficult.

[@fataudama7060]

Glad you guys did this show! Day 2 for me of the whole30 after watching. Thanks for the motivation! Also, you need to start a show "Kinda Healthy" lol

[@5RB]

Brian is a legend. Glad to see him on here again.

[@BrianAltano]

Thanks man! I love doing videos with the KF crew. We're planning more stuff soon as soon as our schedules can connect again

[@5RB]

Brian Altano Love what you and the crew have done with beyond too. Keep up the good work fam

[@BrianAltano]

Oh man, thank you! I'll send the kind words to the rest of those knuckleheads

[@miguelhaslauer6353]

Your episode of GOG with Jose Sanchez at the end of last year inspired me to finally lose weight. Since the beginning of this year I have lost 60+ lbs. Hearing you guys and Jared Petty talk about this throughout the year has helped me to keep going. So thank you guys I love all of you.

[@TickleMyPikachu_]

Still a great video to watch in 2019! I eat low carb, alternating between high fat, high protein, and anywhere in-between. I was one of those who grew up drinking a butt ton of soda in the 90s. Being in an Asian family eating rice with every meal was also what made me very plump

[@kfklspy]

Amazing transformation, congrats! i'm on my transformation too, and see your video just give more motivation to proceed, i lost 44 pounds and i want to loose more... i lost my girl, i get the diagnosis of 90% being sterile... i had to change the way i live.... thank you for the extra motivation.....

[@quentinpollard5173]

I am trying this. I hope it works, I think the best part for me was hearing Nick say "enjoy the process" I will try and enjoy it more.

[@mitchellsheffield8988]

You both look amazing. Love you both, you inspire me daily. Keep it up.

[@zhizhuchao]

this is fantastic.

[@MrEricReis]

love these two!

[@Nemes1sTKD]

That was brilliant, i went through the same thing so was pretty much nodding while you were talking.

[@theochua]

As a dude, who is struggling with losing weight because of diet, this episode is very helpful. Thanks Nick and Brian!

[@jacobwilson8700]

Holy guacamole Brian!! You look amazing!!! I just started the video and could barely recognize you!

[@TommyBoyB]

Wow Brian, you're looking great & healthy! Happy for you man.

[@kaliblachapelle8531]

God I love Brian. Super happy for your weight loss my man.

[@snappydue1616]

These shows are awesome! The only thing I would add is, if possible, keep track of the references that you guys are talking about and add them in the video description. That would be amazing!

[@KyleChurch]

I ate a slice of pizza, a donut, some Chic-fil-a, and had a large sweet tea while watching this video. What the hell am I doing with my life?

[@jtwaszkowski]

Nick is a gem.

[@jaxonhampton9317]

This was what I needed to see. I've been putting off eating healthy for so long. Why? I already eat plenty of veggies and meat, but I also have plenty of cheeses and beer and donuts. I'm getting the whole 30 book. I want to reset my metabolism and get on track. Thanks guys this was incredibly helpful and it was just the "push" I needed.

[@X5J2UY]

would love to try eating low carb food but i cannot live without rice in my life :`( do i have to stop eating rice or potatoes or is eating them in small amounts fine ?

[@dt21467]

Awesome interview guys. I've been weight lifting as a chubby dude for a while, I've managed to put on a lot of muscle but haven't had the staying power to lose the fat underneath. I'll take some of what you guys said on board and give it a try.

[@Scottio]

Great episode, nice to see an alternative topic to gaming once in a while. I have been on and off doing the Keto diet for the past 12 months and my weight has yo-yo'ed over the year. Now my big issue is that I have just moved to the Netherlands from the UK and find it impossible to "read the labels" anymore as I don't speak Dutch. Have to say though, I never feel better then when I'm lowering my carb and sugar intake and getting into ketosis.

[@josephaltman6783]

I'm glad you guys were able to do this. Big props to Brian for losing all that weight.

[@KennySchafer]

Check out "What The Health" on Netflix if you are interested in your health and want to feel better! It's been awesome seeing your changes and evolution, Brian!

[@TrevTendo88]

Good job, Brian! You are freaking hilarious and I really appreciate your passion for Nintendo, Star Wars, and all things geekdom. BRAP-BRAP.

[@NutSHell666]

fuck. Think 28 is catching up to me. been having major stomach pains for a week, puking every night and it was after a night of drinking and chain smoking. given up smoking cigs.. Oh I also have gastro acid disease. sucks.. fuck. i love beer tho.. Stomach is fine as I haven't smoked a cig at all today, and getting some salad tomorrow. should I stick to white wine/ wat kinda booze would I be able to drink.

[@DJMilez]

Hey Nick I also saw the Netflix documentary "Fed Up" and after that, I was like, shit there is literally so much sugar in things you don't even think about! I mean even stuff like Clif Bars which is suppose to be healthy has an INSANE about of sugar. I look at it like Batman (lol), discipline myself, know what you put in your body, see how much grams of sugar is in everything, and the moment you have some food, drink some water afterwards! I pig out and have a "2 cheat meals" (not cheat days) a week (on the weekends) so I don't go crazy but after those meals, ironically enough, you taste the amount of sugar in stuff and its not as tasty as I thought it was before once you start to eat clean. Yeah it sucks driving by Taco Bell, McDonalds, Wendy's, constantly being thrown at you not to mention seeing people eat all of that stuff around you, but MAN when you get those compliments of looking good and doing it for yourself, I make more of an effort to eat clean even more! Great talk guys!

[@sonictonic_]

This is so great.

[@EvanStilwell]

When did Brian lose weight? LOL! I haven't seen him since Up at Noon with Greg Miller.

[@BrianAltano]

This year, mostly, although I shed a few pounds here and there since those old days. But yeah, mostly this year. Also I've done like 7,000 videos and shows since the old Up at Noon, dude! Catch up!

[@hectormeneses9930]

You look great, Brian. I glad we had a chance to see you with the old crew again now in KF territory.

[@BrianAltano]

For sure! I miss working with those dudes.

[@cooperm211]

This is great - totally nailed the psychology aspect

[@RayCharlizard]

Does anyone have the full name of the book Brian mentioned in the show? I missed it scrolling back through the video.

[@BrianAltano]

Whole30

[@RayCharlizard]

Brian Altano thanks, loved this convo and it really got me motivated to get back into keto. The recipes you mentioned in particular sounded really awesome.

[@JakubKlena]

Good job Brian! Looking great, keep it up! PS: Whats your favorite workout? because fo me it is running and after few years it definately changed my whole lifestyle.

[@jimhaverty8370]

As a 25 year old with a really big belly this was really inspiring. Especially when Brian said if you're 25 do it. Also would fucking love to see Nick on The Comedy Button some day

[@SuperGamerSquid]

You guys have me convinced! Is the book you're referring to the one published in 2015, Brian? I see quite a few Whole 30 books on Amazon lol

[@letstacobout]

What about fruits they have natural sugar, avoid or just eat less?

[@glory2marik]

Finally, a sit down Heart to heart talk about dieting among dudes 😊

[@marcomaluf1531]

Best Duo, Brian and Nick! I may not lose weight but im sure will laugh.

[@bbh6496]

BRAP BRAP!

[@cometsuch]

Day 1 of starting whole 30.... Thanks for the video this is very inspiring.

[@henryjb46]

Congrats Brian. i thought i watched a video with you in it recently, but seeing you now was a total shock. My first reaction was this not my Brian, because (small percentage was the shock of the weight loss) mostly you were being so reserved. However when you said i lost my weight with aids blood. i thought there he is. this comment is not a complaint (trying to be kinda funny). you are a big inspiration to team fat that wants to be team fit. thank you for sharing. hope you have continued success.

[@iamtheju]

This video is at the perfect time for me because I've just started trying to eat more healthily and lost some weight. You're both very inspiring. Now you need to poach Brian from IGN!

[@devanwhite8716]

I wish I could stick to changing my lifestyle. It's one of the toughest things in the world to do. Way to go Brian.

[@tubrokev911]

Brian looks great, funniest dude on the net.

[@TheMr1luigi]

With all this food talk I got hungry and so I grabbed some snacks :3

[@sergiodevivo16]

this was honestly an amazing video. I decided to lose weight a couple of years ago and succeeded with the atkins diet and lost 30 pounds. Then i started to put on muscle and hit the gym hard, i saw my abs... took like 40 photos and then started eating carbs again lol. now im back at it, it's all about balance though

[@StarChildInABubble]

Yeah, Brian! You look great man!

[@TheeVande]

I really need to lay off the carbs and I'm not sure how/where to start. I can tell you for sure that cutting out beer (even if it is just a few a week) would go a long way in doing that

[@platanopapi]

Brian, I'm curious how you handle traditional dishes. Have you completely cut them out or just reworked them?

[@antonytaylor8582]

Great video guys and massive congrats Brian. Few things I find helpful to remember. - A calorie is always a calorie. - Thermodynamics rules above all else. - Inclusive diets always work long term vs exclusive diets. - Carbs are not bad for you, they're just easily over eaten. - Only way you store fat is if you eat in a calorie surplus. - Eat mostly "whole natural foods" 80-90% of your diet should consist of this. You can have small treats that you enjoy. - Eat foods you enjoy in amounts that are suitable for you. - Take your time to find your own way, changing dietary habits one at a time.

[@cadvan6]

Damn man, nice work. As someone who generally just reads IGN and watches the occasional video, I had no idea Brian lost so much weight.

[@geirboler]

Man I fucking love, Brian Altano!

[@pdog547]

What a great episode! More IGN/KF collaborations would be awesome!
