Congratulations on your success. I don''t know HOW anyone could stay on a starvation diet of only 1000 calories a day for the rest of their life. #1 they would be malnourished. #2 they would be cranky and having hunger pangs all day and night. A friend of mine who was 375 pounds had bypass surgery but then she would go to the coffee shop and buy a BIG HUGE PASTRY - she was really "sloppy" about her food portions and kept on eating tons of processed highly industrialized food. I kept my mouth shut, and minded my own business but I really think if somebody is going to have the gastric bypass surgery - it means sticking to devotion to eating healthy food and smaller reasonable portions for LIFE. I'm at 6:22 and Will is in the supermarket and is struggling with the "NO SNACKS" rule and he buys a pint of crappy Halo Top ice cream - it is really RUBBISH - Halo Top ice cream is ultra-crap ingredients, very processed, highly industrialzed processed food. Rebel brand of ice cream is far healthier and not all the rubbish ingredienents that Halo Top ice cream has - heck just take a banana, freeze it, then put it in a blender with some cacao powder, vanilla, cinnamon - very high fiber, low cal, nutrient dense DIY home made ice cream substitute.

[@Mooza1]

I found calorie restriction is much easier if you have way more protein. Once the sugar cravings go, your body is aggressively craving protein. If you change the balance to satiate the protein craving, the hunger pangs are reduced

[@OlujaDoTokija]

Yeah, I'm on high protein 1600 Cal diet with intermittent fasting (4 hour eating window) and 24 hour fasts with only one meal every other day of the week where I usually only eat about 1200 Cal, for over a year now and most of the time I'm not hungry even at the end of the 24 hour fasts.

So on a normal day,, with my sedentary office job and commute, if I don’t work out. I’m humming along at 1300calories or 1350 maybe if I’m walking around a bit. If I regularly eat a surplus of even 50 to 100 calories more than that and I’m going through a period of not exercising, I start to gain fat. Fast.

50 Year, 5 foot tall weight trainer here. I am currently cutting by eating 1400 instead of my usual 2500 per day maintenance.

I was so scared I would never be able to enjoy food again but my program is so similar to a regular healthy diet, just in smaller portions because that’s all the new stomach can hold. It’s all about balance, finding what works for you and more importantly, changing your mindset, your relationship with food and addressing the root cause of BED or food addiction. It was the best decision I ever made for myself and my only regret is I didn’t do it sooner.

Our brains like the idea of adding more than subtracting. Instead of thinking "take away carbs, take away sugar" I think it's mentally easier to add fiber, add protein, add water. Eventually, the protein, fiber, and water keep you fuller longer and you naturally cut out the carbs and sugar bc you're not hungry or craving as much.

This diet is not about losing weight; it's about the individual showing commitment to a lifestyle change before undergoing surgery.

If they can't show commitment before the surgery then they'll just gain the weight back post operation.

Low frequency is definitely the way to go so you're basically fasting for most of the day. Lost about 14kg in the last 9 months and feel absolutely amazing physically, mentally and emotionally. I make it sustainable for myself by not restricting the items I eat too much. I'll eat basically anything as long as it doesn't exceed my caloric intake i.e. portion control. It has been great for resetting and retraining my body and mind. I'm much more mindful of my choices, have significantly reduced cravings, and I genuinely enjoy food much more now.

The super restrictive diet isn't just to lose weight before surgery. It is to prepare for life after surgery. In order for bariatric surgery to be successful the person will have to restrict for LIFE. This is the reason only 5% of gastric bypass patients at the 600 lb level maintain weight loss over 5 years out. "Normal " eating creeps back in, the stomach stretches out and the weight comes back. Most surgeons won't take those cases because the dedication it takes to be successful is so low. It's hard. Very hard as you found out.

Wow I am loving the background information and education you are adding into these videos. Very informative and also entertaining as you always are.

[@tieiatalks]

10:03 yes, it’s too restrictive for most people, but Dr. Now is trying to get the weight off of his patients as quickly as possible. He’s trying to get them to a safer weight to do the weight loss surgery. It’s literally lifesaving.

[@majorchaos5000]

in theory yeah but seeing as this is way too restrictive on calories and its a huge life style change going from 5000cal a day to 1200 its no wonder most of the patients on the show fail on this diet. and most of the time they're chemically addicted to fast food too, I feel the better option is to restrict their diet to 2000 then slowly lower it week by week and still let them eat fast food but keep it within the calorie target and replace the snacks with fruits. yeah it might take a little longer to lose the weight but atleast they can stick to it

[@elalogar7340]

@@twanvanderdonk2504 again most of them dont even stick to it even though they know its killing them and end up reverting back to their old ways very quickly. I think it's better if they're still gonna eat fast food may as do it in a deficit, then when they see they're losing weight I can guarantee they wanna stick to it and make the switch to a much cleaner healthier diet. It's more mentally challenging than you realise especially when their dopamine has been hijacked from all the chemicals from fast food. Its like asking a heroine user to go cold turkey, it never usually never ends well

[@trianna2008]

@@majorchaos5000 Not in theory; in practice. Many of these people are 700+ lbs and severely immobile. They have heart issues, lung issues, are constantly stewing in their own bacteria, etc. They literally do not have time to lose 1-2 lbs a week. They are basically at death's door. On top of that, a bypass isn't a cureall; even a remarkably tiny stomach can be stretched right back out. So this diet is not only to put away the guillotines hanging over their necks, but also to force them to show the level of committment required to sustain the lifestyle required to attain a healthier weight. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Also of note- the show did change later to also include therapy as a required element to the plan which is great because you can't get to 600lbs with a normal mental state.

[@Lambda.Function]

It is a radical lifestyle change, but that's what you have to do when you're faced with almost certain death in 10-15 years. You don't really have the time to pull a low deficit + exercise plan over years. Every year at that weight is putting so much stress on your heart and cardiovascular system that you're losing many years of life. I dropped down to a periodic fasting and 1500 calorie diet at 300 lbs while cutting out 100% of processed foods, alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine. It was pretty intense the first few months but you get used to it and then your health problems go away and it feels normal. There's nothing like facing the reality of a stroke in 10-15 years to motivate change.

Bariatric surgery is the absolute worst. Sure, it does help some people... but it doesn't solve the underlying problem which is a bad lifestyle. I had a previous coworker go through with it even after I had a heavy talk with him and he said he knew the risks and had no self control and needed something. Well, he still has no self control and has since gained weight even with a reduced stomach size. He essentially just eats more often, but it's still high calorie, low nutrients food choices and he's still consuming the same amount of calories, it's just in like 10 tiny meals and 10 snacks throughout the day instead of 4 large meals and a couple large snacks. He still sits all day long without moving other than to get food or go to the restroom... So, now he spent all of this money and altered his body for nothing...

[@HostaMahogey]

It's "the worst" yet there are studies proving it makes life expectancy higher for those who get it compared to those who never get the surgery and continue obese 🤔

I dislike how people are not being tested for insulin resistance or leptin resistance. This is one of underlying cause of wanting to eat, eat and eat and not feeling satiated. Lifestyle choices help a lot. If you eat a lot, workout a lot too...

But even on cancer therapy, it's known, it helps only with a chance of 30%, but this is higher than 0% success rate. This is why Dr. No alwasy asks to loose 50 pounds the normal way, to change the lifestyle in first place.

1,200 is easy to do... Just eat one to two times a day and eat extremely low calorie high volume foods. Cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, ground chicken\turkey, egg whites, hot sauce for flavor, low fat mozzarella. You can pretty much make anything with these things. Also, drink a ton of water.

I've been doing 1200/day for a couple months now. Really in the groove of it, of course I miss some foods but I've got it figured out so I'm rarely hungry. The key for me is nonfat greek yogurt, I eat about 5-6 pounds of the stuff per week (two big tubs from costco) usually with ~200g of fresh strawberries and frozen blueberries added per serving. 370g of yogurt and fruit will fill you up easily for under 200 cal, especially paired with 150-170g of chicken fish or shrimp and some veggies or salad. Shout out to Halo Top as well, that stuff is a great treat at the end of the day. Joseph's pitas are great too (60cal per pita). Gatsby chocolate (will make you code brown).

My calorie deficit was at 1350 calories for 9 months, now it’s a little higher, at 1550 due to increased activity, but having only two meals a day is what REALLY helped to stick to my deficit.

When I have a snack or smaller meals, lasting on this deficit is so so much harder and I almost always tend to go overboard.

I have had a dozen or so cheat days but when you get use to eating 1,200 calories a big cheat day feels like 3,000 calories, not far from maintenance. It’s been generally good, definitely have times of low energy, definitely have had mornings where I wake up stiff and physically drained. Also had an issue with my gull blatter, doctor claims it’s from before the diet but I went years obese without issues. The motivation is high when you’re losing 4lbs every week.

I did my version of a 1200 diet for 2 weeks. I did not find it difficult at all. 1200 calories divided by 3 meals = 400 calories each. By focussing most of those calories on protein, satiety comes easier. Meals were always 200gr protein plus 200gr sweet potatoes (always pre-cooked, refrigerated and then reheated = resistant starch is the result)) or other vegetables to make up the rest of the calories. I also had high protein yoghurt for snacks to use up any left over calories and passed on plates full of salad which don't fill you up and need salad dressing. Herbs, spices and seasoning make food delicious and satisfying without the calories.

The having less meals making you less hungry is most likely because of the incretin effect, as there is less insulin getting released to your bloodstream, therefore you feel less hunger! For the people that are 600 pounds the incretin effect is most likely reduced or not present at all (because of diabetes), so having the meals spread out throughout the day is most likely to reduce the hunger sensation
