This Doctor lost 125 pounds doing the 16_8 intermittent fasting method!

What is going on I have warriors so we have a short video here two minutes and 38 seconds of a doctor Uh, I guess he's gonna say his name. Uh, oh, here we go. Dr. Kevin gun gun gundro um, and how he lost 125 pounds using the 16-8 method and for today We're gonna go to our home base, which is youtube, uh to take a look at this All right without any further ado, let's go ahead and click play to watch hi, my name is dr Kevin gendro, and this is the story of how I lost 125 pounds with intermittent fasting and a whole food diet I'm a 30 year old primary care physician Whoa Wow, five feet nine inches. That's my height But Kevin weighed 300 pounds. Okay, okay Which all comes with weight gain They're they're they see this correlation with all those different things You know type 2 diabetes even sleep apnea. A lot of that stuff is tied to obesity There's a lot of health issues that come with obesity now It isn't to say that just being overweight creates that but it's being overweight and not being active Because as we've seen with like studies done with sumo wrestlers You can't be overweight and still have be somewhat metabolically healthy however That's simply because when you're super active when you're like super active the way sumo wrestlers train all the time and in their competition You actually reduce your visceral fat. So the internal fat which is the fat that's actually important in terms of creating all of these health issues Uh, the visceral fat is the most important thing but in the real world How likely is it that you're going to be super highly active to the point where you're completely? removing all of your visceral fat, but you're you're Overeating so much that you're overcoming the caloric deficit, even though you have massive Activity cardio activity per day weight training and cardio activity. It is going to be very Like that's almost like a paradox of of of of a lifestyle you have to Overeat aggressively and then still have the motivation to be doing aggressive cardio I can't see that and I can't see that world existing for most people Um, that's why sumo wrestlers are a unique bunch where they barely have any visceral fat They're actually metabolically healthy when they become metabolically unhealthy is that their visceral fat gets filled in quickly Once they retire so they end up having and then they can't change the lifestyles. It's very sad in the post career, but during the career because of the way they're so active they actually are metabolically healthy, but That's the important thing. Those things are tied to Obesity and usually it's because of the visceral fat So he wasn't happy with he decided to make some changes So there were three major components to how I lost all the weight The first was finding the right motivation if you can't come up with a good enough reason to make a major life change like this It'll be impossible for you to commit the second and third piece. I agree with that You have to sometimes you have to have a north star So that you can say okay i'm gonna do this and i'm not gonna stop Because that's my north star for some people it could be a vanity reason like oh, you know The summer's coming up and and yeah, I gotta Look good for the beach i'm going to this event use those things as a fuel to get that ball rolling and then get that snowball effect and just you know, go all the way with it and then be you know, uh Be tough and and and find a thing that could keep you that could sustain that weight loss Pieces of the puzzle were intermittent fasting and a whole food diet with no processed carbohydrates It was when my sister was diagnosed with an aggressive rare form of cancer that that I decided to change my life Once I made the black and white decision to stop being unhealthy everything else just fell into place I first started losing weight by calorie counting with my fitness pal It's an app for iphone and android that basically allows you to calculate how many calories you can consume per day in order to lose one or two pounds per week Now keep in mind. He's a doctor. This is why I tell people People think that doctors automatically just know about nutrition. They don't like listen to how He he's talking about how he's using my fitness pal how to him It helped him understand like how much calories he needs to eat. They really don't know guys like doctors like medical doctors their entire curriculum is Medicine Like that's what they're they're good at giving you something after you have it They're not really good at telling you how to not get the thing in terms of your diet and nutrition They'll just be like, oh, yeah eat healthy or whatever. They'll say the the things that are already in the ether so You have to be careful when you just you see a doctor on on On youtube saying something just because he's a doctor means that he's gonna know when in reality that's not necessarily the case It doesn't mean that it isn't the case But it also doesn't mean that it is the case Because if it is the case, they would have to done all that stuff on their own. It didn't come from from Their curriculum they would have to like just like me and you can just go out They would have to go out look at research Look at different things to really understand the biology really understand all that stuff. They would have to do that on their own Like that would just have to be the side hobby to figure that stuff out. They're not going to just intuitively know it And they don't learn learn it through their curriculum Ah, so he hit he hit he ate healthy hit a wall hit a stall and Didn't give up at that stall point. He implements the intermittent fasting and it looks like it helped push him through 16 Good, you want to build muscle you want to build muscle? That's important Every time I went down a shirt size or a pant size. It was a huge motivating factor for me There's nothing better than donating trash bags full of your old clothes Always look forward towards your next goal and never look back All right cool, cool, cool, um I like it. I like it. Uh, I like What a lot of the the stuff that comes from this video understanding? The the that doctors are people just like me me and you you know Doctors don't don't be knowing the answers to these things when it comes to diet and nutrition But they still if they if they've gained weight, they still want to lose weight just like you know Um everybody else so, uh, it's cool. He hit a stall u16-8 it worked for him total. He had lost 125 pounds. I don't know where he is now.
