JESUS loves us all, but he is a righteous judge and sin is still wrong even though he loves us. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."🙏🔥❤️
Fasting for 5 days is just incredible. This guy has a lot of discipline and determination and I am so glad he has such a strong support from his mom and brother. Well done Chris! You have made everyone watching this show so very proud of you.
It is incredible. I’ve been 16:8 intermittent fasting + eating at a calorie deficit and lost 6.9 lbs in 9 days but can’t imagine doing a 5 day fast. This guy has grit.
I usually feel 2nd hand embarrassment when listening to patients struggle to answer Dr. Now's questions. But this guy is so well-spoken! He actually had decent responses for everything, and was serious about it too.
@ user - commendable thought process - taking responsibility for himself in order to take care of his daughter - conc on healthy lifestyle & focus on satisfying career to jumpstart better habits - much healthier life surrounding himself with people away from the house - social butterfly 🦋 ‼️❣️‼️
@@jb6712 Everyone knew what OP meant. Your reply did not assist anyone, people know what a typo or a mistake is. Context clues allow us to see past the existence of the spare vowel, which is how you knew which word to give a weirdly emotional spelling lesson about. I also noticed the minor misspelling, I was not burdened or offended by it. But your reply makes me embarrassed to have read it. How did you type out an impression of the least popular teacher's aid at an elementary school, and feel confident enough to post it?
I’m 400 plus and looking to drop the weight I have dropped some but I really feel like my food and junk addiction progress is not where it needs to be I don’t understand why my brain is so damn stubborn haha
@@hunterjams541as someone who was over 400, what helped me was making small increment changes. First switched to water, after a month, started cooking most of my meals, moving away from processed foods, as the weight started dropping, that motivated me more. Too many people decide to lose weight and stop all bad habits at once. Key is to substitute one bad habit for a good one at about once a month. Take one junk food away a month and replace it with a healthier choice. Keep at it and don’t give up on yourself. You got this and keep grinding!
I've lost over 180 pounds without surgery but only do water fasting for 3 days at a time. I only recently started doing those just to get these last 40 pounds off.
It really doesn't take much for somebody who weighs over 600 lbs to drop 200lbs. That's literally a matter of one less 2-liter of coke per day (they still drink and eat more than most people do).
I weighed 495 pounds a few years ago when I decided my weight had gotten out of hand and decided it was time to lose some weight. I made a goal of being down under 275 pounds by my 50th birthday which will be on July 9th 2024 and I weigh 273.9 pounds as of this morning! I still have around 80 pounds to lose but I am so proud of myself I can't properly express it.
This man is incredible, he totally admitted to how depressed he was, but he actually did something about it. That is so commendable, because sometimes it is so hard to look in a mirror when you're depressed and reflect on yourself and get the motivation to make it better. That can be really hard. I love how he's also doing it with his family, because that means he actually enjoys it, he's having fun, and living happy. I love that. Good luck man, I'm so proud of you!!!
I think a key factor here is not just Chris’ incredible outlook, determination, and attitude, but his supportive family. The whole family joined in to make changes and that in itself is a massive help. Not going through that alone can be the difference between making it and not making it
I don’t comment ever. This guy deserves a award for his hard work! That’s amazing discipline and it should be respected. He shouldn’t change his program even if Dr Now says so, he should do what works for him!
Chris, you seem like an incredible person and what amazing willpower! You come across as very kind, determined and intelligent. Keep going - don't give it up! Before no time at all, you'll have achieved all your goals and more. I have never struggled with weight myself, but I find your story very inspiring and I will keep your resilience in mind when approaching my own goals in the future.
Dr. Now is an expert, but his personality is SO flat. If I was his patient, he wouldnt motivate me at all. I felt bad for Chris not getting more positive feedback on his incredible accomplishments and goals!!
Dr Now is probably so accustomed to the ones who whine, make excuses, and blame everyone else, that it throws him off his game when he gets someone who's serious about it and puts in the work without all the bs🤷♀️
He doesn’t need surgery! He’s changed his way of thinking and he’ll do this on his own and keep it off! No surgery! No drugs! AWESOME job Chris! Keep up the great work! You look fabulous!!!
I hope the family continues to work together and they all reach their goals. Losing a large amount of weight results in extra skin so hopefully the only surgery they get is to remove the excess skin
This kind of diet works. You still need carbs, but they should be complex. On September 20th my blood test came back. Doctor sent me a message saying I was pre-diabetic. Said to be cognizant of refined carbs and simple sugars. I now eat whole wheat bread instead of white, whole wheat pasta, and brown rice. I don't eat much of them though. I'll buy a loaf of 100% whole wheat bread and put it in the freezer. Take out a slice or two if I need it. I eat chicken meat every day. I buy frozen veggies, spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts, etc. No more soda. I will occasionally have a little sugar in my coffee. Anyway, I was 244 pounds on September 20th. Today is December 8th and I weigh 223. This is without exercising. I just need to start walking and I'll be down below 200 in no time
A real man. No excuses. Self aware. Had a plan. Going in the right direction. Being a man isn't about a 'position'. It's about the direction you're going in.
Congrats to this big man focused on his health progress exercising and eating healthier. He has made a contribution to get the weight down & boost his metabolism.
This guy is on it. He's got goals, a plan to meet those goals, and he's willing to listen to Dr. Now to help save his life. You can tell from that alone that he's going to make it.
This man is doing an awesome job. He doesn't NEED weight loss surgery. He can do it with the surgery. I don't like that Dr. Now says this man will need weight loss surgery. Not true!🤔🤔🤔
They have hundreds of hopeless cases on this show. This guy is the only true man out there. The rest just cry and make excuses while their family feeds a bed ridden monster.
So refreshing to hear someone actually acknowledge that they were the cause of their obesity and THEY are determined to personally take " the bull by the horns" so refreshing ❤
I love how goal orientated this amazing human is. He is super refreshing to hear how much self reflection he has done prior to deciding to lose weight.
Disagree with dr. Now. If there is a 98% failure rate with WLS, then obviously surgery is not the issue. Its the eating. Chris can continue eating and WLS wouldnt work but have to deal with the consequences of surgery. Chris understands that eating too much food is why hes 600+lbs.
What the fuck are you talking about, weight loss surgery has the highest success rate in weight loss protocols by a landslide, it's almost 90% success if you are talking losing half the extra weight and keeping it off after 5 years or more , and over 70% success if you are talking getting down to over weight or normal weight from obese. Is however only recommended for extremely obese patients, because it is dangerous, but still, it isn't even close to any other method like changing habits or dieting and exercising, those methods are way healthier, but have a failure rate of over 90% after 5 years.
I was especially glad to see that his family joined him in trying to lose weight. There used to be a really good weight loss reality show called Ex Weighted and they always pointed out on that show that weight loss goes better if your family or partner supports you or joins in and if you have specific goals.
Hopefully he continued on his weight loss journey I started it'll be 4 years this new coming year on my weight loss journey and I started on the a water fast and I used to 5 to 6 days but since the body changes and you get older I usually go three days no more than 4 days when I do can I drink lots of water and I'll drink you know coffee or Arizona
He was mobile before he lost the weight , doing things around the house and walking will help him keep the weight off , he had Water instead of soda or juice by his bed .. he can do it
man this one is really refreshing. its nice to see somebody actually work their ass of to get to the point they want to be. this guy did a great job, i dont think he can get enough praise for that. he accepted that his choices led him there and he took accountability for those actions and did what he had to in order to get where he wanted to be. great job bro
Despite these heavy weight people consuming copious amounts of food , do they actually get adequate nutrition ? I'm wondering if that contributes to the pain. Getting adequate vitamin D must be impossible for people who never go outside.
Of course not. That's part of the reason why they're overweight. What they're eating is empty calories AKA a lack of vitamins and adequate nutrition. Do you see what these people eat?
1.I've been fasting 14-16 hour a day since Jan. 2.stopped eating refined sugar . You only crave sugar if you eat sugar. 3.Also eat mostly whole foods nothing processed. Can't read it don't eat it. Down three dress sizes. 4. Move 30-60 min a day 5. Its my new lifestyle not diet. 6. I was at a crossroads and I chose the right path.
Chris has a future in inspirational speaking. He has a great and inspiring story to tell and he is very beautifully articulate and interesting to listen to.
Dude is prolonging his life with all the fasting. A lot of people(including a lot of doctors) don’t realize how incredibly healthy longer fasts are. 5 days is optimal.
if only all patients had his drive and determination he doesn’t blame anyone doesn’t make others help or do everything for him a well rounded gentleman
It’s almost like the Dr is disappointed that he won’t get to do a surgery. That’s really a shame. This guy is crushing it and motivating his whole family to get healthy - let him use the tools he wants to use.
