Doctor Reacts To David Dobrik's Weight Loss

He most likely didn´t have a problematic amount of visceral fat, otherwise they would have defenetly said it to make the video more dramatic.

[@RyanApplegatePhD]

Unless I missed this, losing that much total fat, it's unlikely his visceral fat went up in absolute, maybe as a relative % of his remaining total body fat it did.

[@45oz123]

If this wasn’t a dr mike video I first of all, wouldn’t have clicked it because I dont like david dobrik, and secondly would have stopped watching after the body shaming over absolutely nothing. He isn’t even overweight he just has a bit of chub. That is completely normal. Thank you for speaking on it Dr. Mike.

Okay, I was ready to throw hands because for whatever reason I was under the impression he was hiding a beer gut under his shirt but once I saw the clip for myself.... that's me. That's what my stomach looks like. I'm right on the cusp of being overweight and I physically feel worse than I ever have but their reactions were way over the top and definitely go to far for how he is/was. And yeah, now I'm super self conscious if everyone secretly thinks I'm super blobby and gross.

Thank you for addressing body shaming. It made me very sad when I saw David's "friends" making such derogatory and disrespectful remarks about David and his body. Furthermore, body shaming has a negative impact on mental health.

[@drewpeacock9087]

His body was honestly kind of average too, it's one thing (but still problematic) when comments like that are made towards crazily unhealthy bodies but making it towards pretty normal slightly chubby bodies is going to spur on a lot of body issues.

[@jaygrant5039]

He welcomed it for the bit … he literally set up the camera for the bit … you understand this is produced, right? And that they’re his friends?

[@Adamdwood27]

It works for some people. If it’s your friend’s body shaming you it’s out of love. If it’s a stranger, it’s purely hate. When my friends make fat jokes, I agree and it helps me reel it in a bit. If a stranger walked up to me and made a comment about me I would tell him where to go.

I work as a technician for a DEXA scanning company and I think the most valuable thing someone can get out of it is understanding exactly what their composition is so they can have another metric that can determine a factor of their overall health. Although, I normally tell people if they are wanting to continue doing tests like these, bioelectrical impedance would be the safest and easiest route to have trend analysis while not having to have radiation over and over again.

[@minaxlam]

How often should someone go through a DEXA scan in a year

[@louisemaaree]

ahh as a radiographer, the way you advocate for the radiation exposure being ALARA, makes my heart happy!! Watching these videos although incredible and rewarding for them to get a numerical status on their progress, I always cringe at the amount of DEXA scans they get. It's an uphill battle trying to get some doctors we work with to refer people for less xrays, and having a PT do these in their clinic without proper radiation education is a slap in the face to those who studied it and came out with a degree. People can be so careless with their use of radiation without proper training, it's sooo important to know the risks!!

[@theexplorationofself]

This is my first exposure to you, and I absolutely love your style! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it was helpful to my own journey. The way your smile fades at the end was like, aww. Hope you're happy and healthy, thanks for being yourself!

[@monkeyz240]

As someone with pcos who has been overweight her whole life (but not severely, I’m actually pretty lucky compared to a lot of woman with pcos) I just wanted to say you’re probably the best doctor or professional I’ve ever seen when it comes to talking about weight issues. You’ve proved you can be honest with people but also be compassionate and willing to work with them on their level, instead of judging them and treating them like idiots. And that’s awesome.

Take care of yourself and do it for yourself and those around who may have to care for you in case something does happen. I used to work in the medical field. Lifting , pulling, rolling patients who are extremely overweight causes a lot of back pain and problems for the healthcare workers.

[@Jessicurrrrrrrrr]

My dad was morbidly obese, he got a gastric sleeve surgery a few years ago and lost some weight but then ended up gaining it all back and just this Christmas break I visited him and he was fine but then I came back home to New York and a few days later he passed away. I just found out on Friday night and I’m so sad but also mad because for years we all were warning him and he never took his weight loss seriously. My brother and I are only 20 years old, he will never get to see me graduate or go to medical school or see his grandkids. I don’t understand why he couldn’t take care of himself for us

[@LBromigo]

Oh this is so sad and frustrating. I’m sorry for your loss of your Dad and the experiences he won’t be here for.

[@meglie1]

Sorry for your loss.

[@mohammedaminefarid8389]

I'm sorry for your loss. I know it is hard to lose a close family member due to such a reason, but let me say something from my experience. As someone who is obese, and this is now my nth weight loss journery (I've lost now 20 pounds, and 40 to go), it is never easy to start or continue in your weight loss. The constant "you need to lose weight" I hear everyday, and the shaming I get, whether intentional or not, does build up, even if I've gotten better at zoning it out. It makes you think "I should lose weight by this time, and do this and that" , even if I say I'll give myself ample time, just setting a deadline alone makes me lose focus on the now and just keep checking my progress in comparison to how much time I still have. And when you see your weight not going down sometimes for weeks even though you're doing your best, it decourages you so much, and then the bad habits start coming back. You start getting snacks bit by bit, then fast food, then you'll find yourself completely broken all the good habits you tried picking up. And in no time, (and this usually happens to me in summers, I am bipolar and summer is one of the worst periods in the year for me) I find myself letting go, and gaining sometimes even more than what I lost, and it's a constant, year after year of starting and letting go, and it becomes draining to even think about your weight at all. What I'm trying to say is, don't blame your father for his life decisions on "not wanting to lose weight" cause it might've not been true. Instead just try to remember him for all the good memories you've had with him. I'm sorry if it was not my place to say this, and again sorry for your loss. RIP Jessicurrrrrrrrr's dad 🙏🏻

[@rickgsink225]

His transformation is probably not so natural, but if he is happy with it who are we to judge him. I know how hard it is when you are overweight, nobody takes you serious. I mean, my girlfriend left just for this reason. It was nine months ago, and I decided to change that forever. I started working out five times per week, got awesome meal plan on Onlymeal, and I increased my water intake. Those are there key steps. I lost 100lbs in nine months, and I am now at 185lbs. I feel so much better about myself, and other people notice it as well, so I am much much happier. And that's the most important thing.

please, tell me how you stopped, i have a routine to drink abuit 6 cans at night every night, its the only thing I look forward to

[@ABC-rg4li]

​@@karmaatyif you're drinking cans of something with low alcohol amount, then I'm guessing it is the habit and oxytocin you're getting From it! So you need to replace it with something healthier. You can start with doing 1 can of your drink then a few cans of fizzy water. And finish with 1 can. Or every day, or week, replace one can with something healthier then if you still need something calming, look into kava drinks. There is some controversy with them. But they are healthier and also promote relaxation and help with stress. You can stop cold turkey too and if that's the route you want to take I highly reccoment auckinf on small ice cubes. The ones they have at liquor stores are my favorite. It's been giving me that same endorphin fix of consuming something. And it's zero calories. I started realizing thus after I was low in iron in pregnancy and craving ice. I now have continued thus habit (being careful not to chew so it doesn't damage teeth) and its helped so much!

[@kflo2059]

@@karmaatyreplace it with something else. I’m having a VERY hard time not drinking wine every night. Sometimes I go to bed early just so I won’t open a bottle of wine. I will not allow myself to drink during the week, at all. Only one night on the weekend, but I still try and limit it. I’m also trying to lose weight and hate adding wine calories to MyFitnessPal bc it adds up FAST! Stay busy too! If I force myself to do an activity in the evening, it helps not consume alcohol. But really, find a good replacement. I do sparkling flavored water with a scoop of magnesium powder. I have to sip on something or I’ll open the wine bottle.

Since they tend to put is a catch-all for all of the patients problems. (Which may be true but there are probably other issues going on.) you explain it in a way that makes sense and isn’t shameful. It is refreshing to watch your videos on this!

So, not having any clue who David Dobrik is, I was underwhelmed by the intro that he recorded, with all the body shaming over pretty much *nothing*. It was enough to make me totally uninterested in his body transforming. The only reason I watched any of this was because of Doctor Mike, but this is the first time that the person that he's talking about is so aggressively boring that it's hard to finish. Maybe it's just annoyance over those people making such a big deal over his normal-dude body.

[@YouMyBitchKid]

He was quite literally medically obese……

[@jlabusinesslatam4012]

Body shaming? You know some dudes find motivation in that kind of self talk? Not that deep, your soft approach of motivating yourself doesn´t have to be used by everyone lol and skinny fat people can get motivated to lose weight, not everyone has to be morbidly obese to acknowledge they can get better

[@grukoin2789]

you're trying to apply the same rigid moral laws to everyone. some people find it motivating, and not even personally hurtful. that's not me, but hey. my closest friends and i insult each other all the time, it's a show of closeness. it actually adds to the emotional intimacy in the relationship. the same words can have completely different impacts on different people and in different contexts

A comment regarding your brief breakdown of composition and weight: THATS SO REAL! Working with a trainer and dietician, I once lost 4 dress sizes but only 7lbs. The scale can be good for some but it felt absurdly demotivating for me so instead of obsessing I just got rid of it and used a belt as a marker. ❤

We make “drinking night” in my house on the day before grocery shopping. It started that way by coincidence but we realized and kept that schedule.

I don't think the calories in/out is quite as simple as thermodynamics, as there is also a variable metabolic factor... I wish Dr. Mike had shared some info on that. But certainly calories do have some relevance, and food quality is crucial!

7:30 The actors get paid to look like that, meaning it is their job (for that particular movie). If you have a regular 9-5 job, you cannot dedicate that much time to exercise as the actors can when they are preparing for the movie. Plus you probably cannot afford a personal trainer, nutritionist and cook, that the production pays for the actors.

[@Something125_]

The way they’re reacting to him taking his shirt off is the reason so many people are afraid to start or stop their diet. It really sucks because even though it’s supposed to be friendly joking between them, posting it online gives the impression that it’s not normal or that it’s gross or bad. It’s incredibly harmful to be making comments like that not only online but in general. I can’t stand David dobrik, I think he’s a terrible person, but this is the completely wrong way to go about this topic. Thank you for addressing this formally and with respect, Dr Mike.

[@sunny100294]

Plus, in the original video David talks about never taking his shirt off because he is so ashamed. My ex boyfriend looks exactly like him and he was so confident, no issue with his body whatsoever. It’s sad that David never takes his shirt off, he looks completely normal
