I need to lose 30 more pounds too but not in a day that would put your body in stress and be unrealistic. I lost 16 pounds I’m still 30 pounds overweight
man, I really needed to hear your speech on anorexia fr. as someone who just started recovering, it's so difficult, especially if you live in a terrible environment (people keep commenting on my weight and it just gives me the strong urge to relapse). and your speech definitely helped me a bit. thank you, Erik. :)
@N_JAMES He doesn't have insane genetics. He rides his bike 40 or so miles everyday including challenge days. You can't burn 20000 calories by riding a bike but it can stimulate your hunger so you can keep eating.
I just want to reach out and thank you for opening up and talking about your recovery with anorexia. Just hearing you say this has hit a chord for me because I’m struggling with anorexia and hearing you talk like this has really helped me think about it from a different perspective, so thank you so much. Keep inspiring people and doing what you do best. Wishing you all the best for 2021
I came from a similar situation as yours where I was big(5000+ cal) to ED(consuming -500cal and not eating for days on end and purging constantly) to perfectly happy now. I support everyone who wants to recover from an eating disorder it is definitely tough and a long road but your channel has def helped me, along with friends and family. You got me into bike riding and I recently did a 75mile ride. I am fixing to try a “steak lovers overload” on Sunday. I love your videos keep em comin bro love them when I’m on the stepper
"That moment for me was when I realized my weight will go up and down for the rest of my life". As someone who has struggled with my weight for years, this really hit home for me. Thank you for sharing your experiences, it helps all of us with disorders or weight anxiety know we are not alone.
I so agree with you. I think on a certain level you can understand only other person who went similar road that you have. I was bulimic and anorectic in my young adult, also focusing on my scale and bones constantly, suffering. It went away almost completely with right therapy and now I don't give a shit if I'm from S size to M. Maybe I will lose weight again, maybe I won't, no pressure, but FINALLY I feel good in my body. What a relief. It really frees you when you're not focusing on that what society wants you to.
Yeah 40-43miles, that are about 70km, and at the start he said the day before he run 50miles😁 Can be crazy to hear, but i have a friend who run with bike as a sport and for him and his team running for training at least 60/70km per day is just normal. Is just matter of training, is weird at the beginning then it comes natural cause your body and muscles get used to this type of workout. And he run about 200/300km every week, i guess also Eric does it with no problems💪😎
Man, when you really talked about anorexia, it really made me tear up, I have relapsed again, and it’s really motivated me to keep going and not care. Love you videos. Keep them up!🥺
I'm on a diet right now, and sometimes I get cravings. Just watching Erik eat all the food I want to eat actually makes the cravings go away, and his videos help me stick to my diet. Thanks a lot Erik!! 😊
Hi Erik! Just letting you know that I loved your speech about weight. Like, I was sad thinking I'm not skinny like most girls but then I realized I should be happy about myself. So, thank you and I love your vids! :)
@@littleBIGJohn you'd be surprised. The top two questions for ppl that make these kinda binging videos is 1. "How do you fit so much food into your body?" 2. "How do you stay so thin?" An "off day" of eating/ normal eating would shed light on this for ppl who don't already know that he exercises for hours
I love your statement on Anorexia, it’s such a serious issue because of, like you said, how glorified being small is. I’m young and was very close to becoming anorexic because I was scared to eat so many foods. You do you! You’ve inspired me to just be yourself and you can still stay healthy and happy! Thanks again Erik!
Day Breaker it’s in the internet if you can’t Handle the word shit then just get yt kids so there’s no comments or just man up and don’t be lame as hell I watched 18plus movies that sweared when I wasn’t even 10 lol
1st of all i LOVE the voice overs of you thinking, they're hilarious but way more importantly, THANK YOU for being so outspoken about your anorexia and your journey. As someone who has struggled with the number on the scale my entire life, i know I (and many others) really need to hear what you have to say so thank you ❤️
You're a legend Erik. I love your videos, I'm so glad to have found you on YT and your message about weight gain/loss is so true and inspirational. Far too many obsess about what they eat or what the scales say on a daily basis. Keep up the great work. Ben from the UK.
Thank you for that exceptionally moving speech on weight during the video! It really helps me to understand that weight is not the most important thing in the world because I care too much too often about it. Keep up the amazing work that you do and stay positive, no matter what ❤️
🤔 *Finally I did the Math and the Research! For a 30 lb weight gain, 15,860 calories is remarkably only 4.5lbs. However, the remaining 25.5 pounds are from water/fluids that he's able to retain, which is why he must consume so much salt and sugar. At 8.3 lbs per gallon, he retained a minimum of 3.6 gallons of water weight (for the additional 25.5lbs of weight). That doesnt include the calories and fluid lost throughout the day, so hes actually consuming much more than that. Quite exceptional.* 💫
Your speech or whatever you want to call it ,, in the car was really motivating and inspirational. I didn’t know about your past and I can’t say understand what you went through,, but I am happy you still put a smile on your face everyday and entertain your fans, I love you 🤍,, WE love you 💕💕
I love your videos for your comments on weight etc in between. I am struggling myself with an eating disorder Since 5 years. Your story helps me realize how important all of this actually is and put things into perspective. Thanks For That ❤️
Going with oatmeal first was brave since it really fills you up and it’s hard to keep eating after that also he ate a lot of oats too surprised he ate so much after that
here's an idea: why don't you do a video where you eat the alphabet? (if this is not self explanatory, basically you eat 26 different foods that all have different initial letters lol)
@@elisazanoni7638 This is only 1 day of his life though. As long as he doesn't throw it up, over the course of a week he's eating enough to maintain his body weight so he's not actually eating enough for 3-4 people in the long run.
47 people have agreed u are risking perforating ure GI tract this should be a sign to the maker of this video and all 200 other you tubers which i can list some of their names who r doing the same thing for money and likes . Please get help I cannot imagine how much someone would have to hate life and themselves to do this . It's not wrong to seek out psychiatric help please do save ureself before u die from this insanity please. I know my comment will get deleted I'm not trying to be mean I'm trying to help u from killing ureself there's more to life than this insanity please get help !!!!
@@janityy they are professional eater tho. At this point, I would think that their stomach would be a black hole and can stretch much more than regular people.
the middle section of this video she. he talks about the weight really hits home. i’ve been watching erik since i decided to recover and it really just made me want to cry because i feel ok again.
Yes it really was such a genuine and inspirational talk about his struggles with anorexia and why he makes the video and his recovery. It really did strike a chord with me. I hope you are doing okay now.
Tbh I always feel better eating watching your videos than if I ate alone 25:34 , thank you for existing man honestly feel like recovering from my Ed when watching your vids
I think that in 4 years he has much changed physically, in the positive way I find him more cute (with more weight, a better hairstyle) and his personnality is more fun and more cool now That's a pleasure to see his videos (sorry for my English, I'm french)
Overtime Erik almost puts bananas in ketchup or some weird food combination, I KNOW there will be a day he will actually do it and it's going to have us all shook
