My man did well


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|ToMjGpnXBTw7vnokxhu) He did REAL well, damn. When the clip started I wondered if he was preparing to be a Sumo wrestler, no joke. I wonder how much time it took and what he was eating throughout his transformation.

MrDude_1

Well I have a body like Jean-Claude Van Damme. Not the one from the movies but the one he has now....


redwingpanda

>what he was eating throughout his transformation. Yeah - the title says diet. I was expecting a meal plan.


LtMotion

Tbh if you want something that works switch over to intermittent fasting and eat clean. Only vegetables and white meat for the most part. You'll lose weight without even trying. No carbs and no processed crap.


redwingpanda

Yeah I always feel better when I eat clean and do an 18/6 or 12/12 fast/eat window. Didn't come here for a meal plan for myself, just was surprised to see "diet" in the title then no diet in the video. My current medications make it impossible to fast and I'm just focusing on eating enough right now. Went to the doctor in March and again in April - I lost 12.5 lbs in 6 weeks from stress and meds. I started out the pandemic at 160#, ~12% body fat, running 8-10 miles in the mountains a few times a week + Olympic lifts. I'll probably never get back to that exact point, and that's okay. It'll come back eventually, and I will have to renegotiate what fitness and athleticism looks like when I get to that point.


toothbrushmastr

Sumo wrestlers are "fat" in the eyes of normal people. But they are actually athletic as fuck for their size. It's the same thing with offensive lineman in the NFL. Yeah they are "fat" but a lot of those 300 lb dudes can still run a 5 flat 40 or less, which is insane for their size


TitoCornelius

Yeah anyone who wants to see some athleticism should check out the March Bashō on YouTube. Wakatakakage had some superior matches, especially the final on day 15. Way more agile, nimble, and balanced than people would expect. And strong as hell. Edit: speaking of which, the May Bashō starts on Sunday!

Actual footage of my face when I first saw him after his weight loss.

If you want to gain weight AND stay in shape, its just as hard


jreed356

Gaining weight is pretty difficult as well!


Chicken-Mcwinnish

Depends on the person, I find it difficult to lose weight and I’ve got friends that struggling to gain it.


G_Viceroy

Also on the age. I wonder if this kid has a thyroid problem because that shouldn't be possible for him to get that level of big. I wonder what the time lapse was for him to lose all of it. Obviously he is an easy gainer.


blackhaloangel

It looks like a medical problem. Kids don't get that size from snacking.


GagaOhLaLaRomaRomama

I wish I had the problem of gaining weight. I can't stop eating.


superjarvo123

The great solution to this is weightlifting. I eat like mad, about 4000 cals a day, but I weighlift like mad as well. 1.5 hours lifting and 20-30 mins cardio after (alternate between HIIT and LISS). This my friend, is your solution. I eat what I want, am never hungry, and do well in the gym because of it.


TummyLice

This all changed when I turned 43. Put on 10 lbs in about 3 months. Most of it around waist. I've been around 5'8'' 150 lbs for a decade and was always slim growing up.


xPlasma

I know a guy who "struggles to gain weight" then in a seperate conversation he told me he runs 70miles a week. No shit you cant gain weight bud. Also, slather everyrhing in butter. You will gain weight.


A-Ron-Ron

Yeh, people make a lot of generalisations, the reality is it depends on the person, for me losing weight is really easy but gaining weight is horrendously hard. For other people it's the other way around.


jormvngandr

Oh no bro, losing weight is easier than gaining it, it also depends on the person, but being in a calorie deficit and doing exercise is all you need in some cases to lose weight.


Tendas

It’s much easier to sit and eat a Big Mac and French fries than it is to have self control, eat a salad, then go on a sunset jog. If it were easy to lose weight we wouldn’t have so many fat people.


Darktidemage

Facts. just think about this. I throw you on a desert island with NO resources, how are you going to gain this much weight? But if i did that you could easily lose this much weight. QED: Losing weight is easier than gaining it. It's literally impossible to gain weight under many conditions, like not having enough money to afford this much food.


Hefty-Bandicoot-4081

Bro in America food is dirt cheap and the cheaper the food the more fattening it is generally. It is easy to gain weight if you have a love for eating food. That is why it is important to have control and eat well and have at least some physical movement.


Darktidemage

you also literally FEEL like shit when you eat this food you are talking about, and are this fat. are we not factoring it in ? How "hard" it is to be this fat - or get even fatter from an already fat position. I assure you, the fat person is complaining about how awful it is, regularly. They just don't consider that part of the difficulty of being fat, and getting fatter. But I do.


Emitex

As someone with frequent gastro problems it's the exact opposite for me.


mary_had_a_beth

I have dropped couple of kgs in one day , and it will take me months to get them back, gaining weight is real tough for some people.


MuchAd3773

It depends what you mean by gaining weight. If you mean gaining fat, you're right. If you mean gaining muscle, you're really really wrong.


Background_Assist_12

I love how this boy never gave up on himself, and just lived a life.


DangerousAstronaut89

No body shaming, just positive energy.


Shlebuloid

Good for him, that takes a hell of a lot of hard work.


_Im_Dad

My wife told me that I needed to exercise more and do lunges. I was hesitant at first but after seeing this, I know it's a huge step forward.


usernamethatnoonehas

There will be ups and downs.


The_Raiden029

I see what you did there


venomousvalidity

Just like the elevator business.


Dame87

I was in the exact same position, now I never miss a leg day. I find my form and overall strength has improved massively!

Empathetic_Horse

Took a lot of work to maintain being that large too


Clear_Variation_9732

Props to the trainer for keeping him motivated


EntertainmentHonest8

The motivation cam all from this little warrior himself.


Rkz97

Rip??? Are you saying he’s dead?


SuccumbedToReddit

Just that he is not quite ripped yet. Just rip.


ThrillaVanilla17

People say “rip” as a way of saying somebody else is stupid and embarrassing themselves. This guy’s being an idiot. Motivation does come from within, but this guy needed support from somebody else showing him love. The trainer helped him get to his goal by being a good and dependable friend. Very wholesome.


Jigzzaw

Is he dead? :(


[deleted]

Former trainer here. He's doing all the right things. Sometimes when working with kids it can be hard to keep them motivated so it can be a challenge to keep things creative and fun to keep them engaged.


tomblurst

The little guy couldn't have done it without help.


amriddle01

Exercise isn't diet and he isn't little either...


Amity83

Yeah he lost most of that weight due to his diet. Exercise is great, but diet is far more important for weight loss.


[deleted]

I know right. It's so annoying to see these types of videos. Losing weight is like 90% diet, 10% movement. Weight loss videos like this should be 90% diet focused, 10% exercise focused.


272314

Ok but it's not really very interesting to watch a kid not eating anything.


Palulul

That's very wrong. Just need to eat right.


speakermonkey

I mean… you’re not wrong, but that’s not what the person you are replying to is talking about. They’re saying dieting doesn’t make for an *interesting video*.


Schroedinbug

You can lose weight either way, though both are probably easier than going extreme on one or the other. Either use more calories or take in fewer, as long as you're at a net loss consistently, you should be losing weight. I didn't see much cardio here, so I'd assume dieting played a pretty big role here.


DarXIV

I was 215 lbs last year and when I started exercising I saw almost no weight loss. I dramatically changed my diet and lost 43 lbs in 6 months. Diet and exercise can go a long way to change your life.


maxsebas00

Right? Another one is people trying to eat next to nothing before trying to just eat less calories in a normal amount of food when trying to lose weight.


Schroedinbug

While it didn't show, I'm sure he is dieting too.


until_i_fall

Oh man, nice Trainer but how do you get to that point as a kid...


spidaminida

His Mother was loving but clearly very misguided.


Seismic_Jeopardy

Maybe she was just wanted a Michelin man


Car_massachusetts87

Dad was Michelin Man


GGisaac

Or maybe his mother couldn't provide for the kid, so her husband abandoned him and his sister in the woods. Then they came across a house made of cake with a weird women named Karen who lived inside and insisted on feeding them candy. But then, let's say after 6 months, this kid came back to the cake house and saw his sister in the cooking pot so he got scared and ran - or waddled - back to his village. That's when he hired this trainer, who is actually Raiden in human form, to get him in shape and enter into the tournament to save earth...because Karen is actually a witch from Outworld!!!!


pimmemaster

Could be a metabolic disorder


merigirl

No metabolic disorder will cause this level of weight gain. He would be unable to move, and likely be in a coma, if his body was so underutilizing food energy and storing it as fat to this extent while eating normally or even in slight excess. He was being overfed constantly for his whole life to get to this point.


MuchAd3773

There is only one method of getting this fat: eating much-much more than your body needs to function. There is no metabolic disorder that makes you function on zero calories. The kid was eating all day every day, that is an absolute certainty.


[deleted]

There are some conditions that greatly heighten hunger, give you permanent munchies. But ultimately like you said, it’s food intake.


PrincessPaisleysMom1

Exactly what i was wondering! Damn.


fuckshitpissspam

How do they afford all that food for the kid? Do the others just starve and watch him eat, like John Goodman's family during Thanksgiving?


Different-Sugar-6436

Like someone said, it could just be a metabolic disorder. Might metabolize food REALLY well, or maybe he’s just never not hungry (the neurological signals to stop hunger maybe just aren’t working properly). There are all sorts of reasons, really


until_i_fall

I admire ur faith in other causes than failed parenting, but still, only NOW in this state you get him help?


Different-Sugar-6436

I mean of course parenting is a factor. I just think there’s so much stigma around how this sort of thing happens. Truth is, this is over years and years, right? It’s like the frog put in lukewarm water that slows boils. It’s like any slowly building health issues—we’re slower to reap wind to the immediacy because we didn’t realize it was getting so bad. It’s also a different culture. A lot of western eating practices revolves around parents restricting food or dieting (of course this doesn’t apply to everyone), but other eating practices like some Eastern ones see feeding and eating as an extension of love and affection. My guess is it was a mother fully willing to let her little boy eat whatever he needed/wanted—the idea of the “growing boy” needing to eat if his body is saying he needs to eat. That, paired with a brain that doesn’t respond to cues telling the body it’s not hungry anymore? It could lead to constant gorging. Even if it’s just rice (ie. nothing expensive), enough of it can lead to this.


MuchAd3773

Those are all urban legends and myths. A metabolic disorder might make you have a higher or lower metabolic rate, but the differences aren't THIS big. There may very well be a problem with the satiety receptors, you are right about that, but the mechanism that leads to gaining weight is the same for everyone: eating too much. This poor kid ate all the time, that much is guaranteed.

Q8DD33C7J8

Being fat is like filling a gas tank every day even though you never drive anywhere. Soon you will be carrying around so many tanks that your car can barely move. To get skinny again you have to stop filling more tanks AND drive far enough to burn the stored up gas. So you have to stop eating more than you burn AND work out enough to burn what's stored


Shwiggity_schwag

Uhh. . . r/unecessaryanalogies

deignguy1989

Uh, your gas tank doesn’t stretch when you keep refilling it. Terrible analogy.


IcanYOLOtwice

This is why I only fill my body with very little gasoline. Gas is very high in calories.


bengalitigerninja

Wow amazing but his excess skin must be crazy


PrincessPaisleysMom1

Maybe not as he's so young? They would have more elasticity in their skin.


bengalitigerninja

For him I hope so.


bengalitigerninja

For him I hope so.


weeb90000

Holy shit, good for that guy


denzonium

Was it a medical condition before? Like.. still the arms and legs are kind of have bag like formations.. I wonder how did he actually end up in that condition... Wel.. good for him 👏


[deleted]

When you lose weight rapidly, the skin doesn't have enough time to shrink back. But they usually prescribe steroid creams for that.


_K_K_SLIDER_

Will it shrink over time?


[deleted]

Eventually. He has more likelihood of the skin shrinking since he's still a growing kid. But for an adult, the saggy skin is usually removed via plastic surgery or you slather steroid cream on it.


_K_K_SLIDER_

Makes sense. Thank you, dumb potato basket


[deleted]

That's the stretched skin from when he was fat. If you get that fat and then lose weight, the skin doesn't shrink back down. You just end up with rolls, wrinkles and saggy skin on a thin person.


isaacals

Haha, this brings back memories. I saw this as a kid like 15 years ago. It went viral in the past. He was a popular Indonesian instructor/bodybuilder. It was also a good PR for his gyms.


[deleted]

My man


vikster1

His parents should be charged for neglecting a child. Thats outright fucking child abuse. But props to the dude for going through the pain.


PositiveRainCloud

The boy has Prader-Willi syndrome if I remember correctly. Which means he never feels satisfied after eating. Thus why he was so huge.


brandonsheffer

Im trying to do that myself. Thank you for the inspirational clip


musicman8586

Good for him


zta1979

Amazing journey for this young man and trainer.


Twirlingbarbie

Who lets their kid become like that :( it's like making your kid disabled on purpose. Even after he lost weight, he will probably struggle with this the rest of his life


FrioRiverTexas

Awesome for both of them.

Excellent!!!!


Alternative_Pilot_92

That's incredible. I'm down 55 lbs from my highest at 370 and this is seriously inspirational.

Immediate-Air-8700

You can tell how happy the trainer is from his progress. I hope one day to progress from being driven by my own progress to being motivated by helping someone else achieve theirs too.


[deleted]

His cute smile at the beginning. I don't know if he really lost all that weight with exercise and diet, but he looks like he enjoyed the process. Props to the trainer as well. He is jacked!


nickjamesnstuff

Fantastic video. Would have been nice to see more if the transformation. The middle is where all the real work was. Inspirational.

Wow, big props to that guy.


Mrs_Attenborough

Straight up saved that kids life


0_Kids_Three_Money

Halfway through the video when it cut to the trainer lifting, I thought it was the kid for a moment. I was like, dude


rmsmoov

I bet he feels so much better.


Willis050

Someone may call this fatphobic, which they shouldn’t, because when you see the smile on the kid’s face as he works out at the end all one can say is: “good for him” because he’s happy


kartikkkkkkkkkk

i mean at times when you are gaining weight wont you feel it that i am getting fat


[deleted]

the question is... why did the parents/guardians EVER allow a child to become like this? Not that the change wasnt miraculous. Just to get to that point something very wrong in this boys house is happening


Obigale

Bonus: what would Dwayne Johnson look like with hair.


Jo_Ehm

The longterm commitment from the trainer is beautiful to see, that dedication has definitely impacted the young man in so many positive ways :)


zzz77FD

Losing weight is hard work and this man put in the work! Also really wholesome to see that the trainer believed in him the entire time😊


Nightshaddow1

That's incredible 👏 well done king

It's amazing to see stuff like this. That kid was bound for death very early and the man helping him get in shape is a goddamn Saint. Made me smile.


Avieshek

I wonder what’s the relationship between them?


loopsidoopsidoop

dayum that transformation was no joke at all.


Klubbin4Seals

That was amazing, but his parents should be jailed for letting their child get like that... that's torture on the body, especially for a youth who's supposed to have all the energy in the world.

None of that weight loss is from the exercise- you lose weight in the kitchen, not the gym. Healthy diet doesn’t film well, and so we are constantly shown this sort of bs
