From Fat to Fit to Fat: Learning From Failure 

Everyone fails Jerome. Dont be hard on yourself. I think the majority of us are just happy to see you are ok and back at it. Thank you for sharing stuff that you honestly don't need to share. You are still an inspiration to me. I'll be watching and rooting for you.

I enjoy watching your videos. I water fasted 32 days in 2019 and dropped 50 lbs. I maintained a 40 lb loss for months until the Covid confinement started and I binge ate myself back to starting weight again. I had you in my subscriptions and was so encouraged when you returned. You are motivating me to get back into the weight loss game. No extreme fasting again though. I will be Following your plan with shorter rolling fasts. I Just completed a 67 hour fast with a four hour refeed. Started the clock again for an 84 hour fast to get me to a nice thanksgiving feast on Thursday. Rolling fasts until I get to my goal weight. Thanks you for the encouragement. You are not alone in the struggle.

As someone who has also was fat to fit to fat (after pregnancy) to fit, let me tell you IF you don’t fix your relationship with food, you will continue to yo-yo forever. Food is 80% of weight loss and maintenance.

Actually, long fasts are sustainable. Digestion is hard on the body. The more we can stay in a fasted state, the less oxidation and the longer we live. If you have fat you need to lose, the longer fasts are great. I fasted 14 days and could have kept going because I felt so good. When you don't have fat to lose anymore, then you can still fast even a few days at a time as long as you still have enough fat on your body to be able to do that. I think humans should fast as much as possible.

I'm just glad you are alive.

Jerome, I eat meat and fruit on my refeed days (as much as I want) and I only gain a negligible amount of weight. I have found that macadamia nuts and pork rinds really help when I want a salty/crunchy snack that won’t cause me to pack on the pounds. No one should be telling you what to eat or how to eat but the truth is that processed foods and refined carbs can easily lead to a prolonged binge. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I’m fasting right along with you. 15lbs down 🙌🏾

Jerome tough times and falling down but getting back up dusting your self off and never giving up makes champions . You Jerome your a champion stop being hard on your self . ❤

I fasted with you back in 2020 and got to my goal weight but your eating videos got me through my fasts! I have no idea why watching you eat helped me so much but when my mind wanted to break fast, those videos were my go to and seriously saved me but then came 2021 and my first full time job since having kids and the stress of it all saw me gain it all back, I 100% understand how you did the same. So glad to see how amazing you have done already in such a short time and it’s given me so much motivation! Thank you! You have no idea how much you’re strength has inspired me! Blessings ☺️

You shouldn't feel sorry for having failed. We all do. We just have to be strong to start over. I'm very, very, very, very happy that you're safe and back. I will follow every video you post.

MAN, I've been thinking about you lately, and boom, you popped up finally on my feed. It's nice to know we aren't alone in the challenges of weight loss and maintaining it. This let's me know you're human and struggle like all of us. Let's get back on track together and show ourselves mercy and grace, if we can't do that for ourselves, how can we expect it from others? Welcome back man, we love you!!

You are an inspiration because you don’t give up! We all back slide at times, but everyday is a clean slate. ❤️

Great to see you, I finally made it fasting over 24 hrs! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for continuing to share your story, Jerome. Cyclical depression and BED have affected my relationships as well, and have brought me back around to a place where I'm needing to lose the weight again too. You aren't alone, and it's incredibly validating to know that I'm not either.

I really appreciate you having the courage to post this. I can relate sooo much. You’re not alone. I’m rooting for you! 🙌🏾

Thank you for being so brave to share on here. Sending encouragement and a virtual hug🤗

Hey brother. You don't need to apologize for getting upset at those dumb comments. Everyone is a know it all. I been through all the same and I love you man. Carry on my brother. ❤

You are so very brave! a lot of people would not have had the courage to come back, and I think that is something you should feel very proud of. I am glad to see you again

Good to have you back buddy! Don't give up.

I am fasting too. I use some of you super fasting strength to help me! 💪🏽 If Jerome can do it, so can I! Thanks for the stats too! You are a handsome guy at any weight. No sadness, you are a winner🏆

It was watching yout videos that got me fasting back in March if this year! I lost 35 pounds and over thw summer gained back 25 pounds :( it was so hard to fast while the kids were out of school for summer break. I did a few when school started back but just couldn't not get back into the routine. Hopefully you will give ke bew inspiration and motivation to get back to it!!!!

I love the growth you have experienced. I am an alcoholic and an overeater. WhY I am an alcoholic has very little to do with the alcohol just like being an overeater has very little to do with the food. It is about so much more. People that are not wired like me will never understand it and you can not explain it.

I missed you soooo glad you’re okay and you’re back.

Well done getting back to how you was only in 3 months 👏👏 still I’m getting back to how I was hopefully be back by the summer 🙏🏻

I just finished 90 hours back to back fast while watching your past videos. Now very excited for you n myself as I am starting another cycle of fasting. Good luck

🎉🎉🎉10,000 subscribers congrats🎉🎉🎉🎉

I had no clue that you were still uploading videos. But I’m happy to see your video. I’ve been waiting to see what you’ve been up to. Life is challenging. it’s supposed to be. Keep up the grind. You’re not a failure.

It makes sense to me.I don't have any food issues, but I do understand that our mind makeup is different. You are on the right track.

Just started watching lady 42 years old 5 Ft 3 started 219 lbs Jan 2022 now she is 117 ten pounds from her goal . You are doing amazing. Be well

Thank you so much for posting, we missed you man!!

I followed you for a long time, and I'm so glad you're alive and well. You are definitely an inspiration.❤

I'm rooting for you, brother. Keep truckin'.

Plz keep English subtitles ON

Since your last video I lost 2 pounds I'm at 239 pounds.

It takes so much strength to come back after your previous success. Thank you for setting such a good example. Perhaps by regaining the weight, you also gain plenty more wisdom than you otherwise would have. Keep pushing it man, reflecting and trying again, we're there with you. You're an inspiration!

Jerome, it is so good to see you back!!! I've thought about you and wondered what happened and was so glad to see you posting again, yippee!! I know you will get to your goal again and will be able to stick because as you have mentioned, it is a mental thing. I think most of us never get that and that is why we battle forever. Our minds are so powerful. I've been fighting my battle for at least 40 years! Yes, I'm now in my 60's and still fighting but I finally got the mental aspect down and I'm not worried anymore...it's happening for sure. My problem is that I always felt not good enough and was judged on my weight...it seemed the only thing anyone ever noticed about me. To this day, I don't accept being fat...no, no, no. For me, it means if I accept it, it is ok and it will hang around and I can't have that. So I hate my fat, I really do, lol!!! I don't know if that is good or not but it's working for me right now. I do, however, no longer place my value in my weight. I am good, and valuable because I am a human being, regardless of how much i weigh. Now I am losing weight because I value myself, my health and I want to have the best and longest life and in my mind, fat is going to keep me from that. I have to give glory to God because in His word He says that we are all good and He created us all in His image and we have great value. So now if anyone tries to put me down for my weight, I just remember what He says and that it is the truth. We all have to find that thing that strengthens us and helps us to get through difficulties and win the battles and God is what works for me. l'm just so happy to see you back and you are finding what works for you but bottom line, it is what we think more than what we do. Again, so good to see you back and I have subscribed so that I can follow along again. I wish I could reach out and give you a big hug just because it's so good to see you and you look great!! Take care!

I appreciate you taking the time to do these videos. It’s so inspiring! Also appreciate your honesty, your knowledge and your vulnerability! Happy Thanksgiving!

So glad you are back. Missed you and welcome back.

It's a good time now to understand the side effects of long term fasting. How much did you gain back.. How hard is it now to do long fasts.... And so on. Please gather all data to beat it better this time.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I have been struggling getting back into prolonged fasting but seeing you posting again gives me motivation!!

Glad to have you back. Us experienced fasters get you, trust me.

Couldn’t make live, but still looking forward to your update

There you go! I messed up my wateriest, but I think I'll try what the method you are using.

Beautiful light❤

You looking good, I’m happy you’re back and on track, and Embracing who you are.

I’m chewing on ice right now from Thornton, the nugget ice is the best

You inspire me

Thank you for this video I'm just on 90hours,was thinking of reducing to 24hrs, but not doing it anymore,,, I will push❤

Did the same thing just need to be consistent and make healthier eating choices

Magnesium is a natural stress reliever. 400 MG per day for men

I’m so sorry you feel the way you do I understand in my own way. Have you checked your hormone levels? That’s been very helpful for me. Just a thought don’t rule anything out please 🙏🏻 . (Ps: we all fail- just be sure to get up again)

Start a gratitude note book. Go help people doing it tougher than you living on the street. When you help others and give back stress and depression does not impact you as much. You tube is not a community go find some real people to help. Love hearing you talk. Good luck mate.

We get fat because we overeat. So it only makes sense that to lose it, we need to undereat. If we cut back on food, the body senses a famine and holds onto the fat. Fasting doesn't allow that to happen, so it's really the only option that makes sense. Exercise will help, but it's not near as effective as fasting.

Electrolytes are so important for fasting, even doing omad, which is my thing. Have a look at Snake diet or Cole Robinson weight loss channel. He has the best advice for home made electrolyte mix: sodium chloride and potassium chloride. It prevents headaches, nausea & heart palpitations - which you may get when water fasting. It can make you feel a million times better! Lots of love to you Jerome, so glad to see you back! Best of luck my friend xx ❤

Stay active bro..do low carb or healthy fiber with whole food with carbs....2 meal a day...1 meal a day... I was walking alot when i went on 5 week trip did..hr in the gym weights simple stuff....3x a week...for 5 weeks and ate healthy few treats but stayed on my feet..walking alot for 5 weeks clothes felt lose !! Keep going bro !!! Study show 36hr fast followed by 12hr eating window u are still in deep ketosis !!

Your what you are you you mate. Nothing for us. We have to make our own peace with our weight and health journey. What we all need to be able to do is not eat our feelings. Therapy is a better option here than fasting. Let's fast forward 12 months from now. Weight is gone. Then what. Stress is gonna come someone close to you is gonna die that's a given. What are you gonna do then. Eat the weight back on. I think you tube for you is a no no. But if your gonna do it do not read the comments turn them off. I hear your heart but I think you need to do 200% what your therapist says. Your way is not a long term life plan. You have to be able to eat normal everyday.

I miss your tech streams

🧡

I can relate to so many things you said in this video and I appreciate you being so transparent. And it is so good to see you back. ❤

So happy you’re here. I have been looking for you.

Is it sadness or anger

Wow 😯 You are me! Thank you 🙏🏿 for being so transparent I needed this too. I am also starting to get back on my fasting routine and exercising 😊

❤❤❤❤❤❤

You look so different now in just 2 months. Amazing ❤

Have you ever done a parasite cleans along with this fasting?

How do you deal with re-feeding syndrome? I’m worried about that with very long fasts

Great content! What do you drink during your fasting days? Is it just water?

I so relate to everything you are experiencing and have experienced with relationship to food and eating. I’ve had enough of it, but I keep going in circles. 😢

keep English subtitles added my friend …. at times I’m connected to your story but cat keep it loud . In work setting or metro

Are you concerned about refeeding syndrome after breaking your 7 day fast with all you can eat food?

What do you take for electrolytes? Are there any supplements you take? How do you handle the hunger?

Well I know one thing, you found the fountain of youth.

Have you considered doing shorter fast, maybe, 36-48 hours only?

You make me feel normal ❤. I could never imagine 90 hour fast. Let alone 6 days❤

We are all humans keep going you inspire people

im a bit lost... did u gain some weight back?...

i was watching your old videos so am used to your skinnier self. watching the XXL version is very weird. no doubt you will get back to the 130's in time - if you aren't there already. more videos to catch up with too. this one was just recommended by the algorithm. all the best. your videos are very honest.

Here's what's funny to me (it's not really that funny) the last time I found you I lost 70 lbs on rolling fasts. I gained it back. And here we are again.

JEROME PLZ. Zzzz find a way to TRACK MUSCLE also . I mean WEIGHT LOSS TO MUSCLE LOSS RATIO … if or if not .. like it’s controversial that FASTING AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDS … does it effect MUSCLE

What fasting app do you use?

I think mind pump is onto something. They said these fasting strategies are not for long term and people gain the weight back.

Hi Jerome! It is so nice to see your videos again :D I was not able to connect live however I do not miss the recordings
