He is this guy. The goofy overweight sidekick etc. typecast.

Well it seems he really got his shit together.

Spoiler: hamburger

This kind of self-discipline is so inspiring.

 

[GymWolf]

[Ironbunny]

That high-protein diet ain't no lie.

 

[TrainedRage]

That’s the same guy? Holy shit! More proof that people who say, “but I workout and eat right but I’m still fat” are just lazy.

Good for him, hopes he gets some more work.

I liked him best in Mallrats.

That high-protein diet ain't no lie.

What is it? Just cut out carbs and go to town with protein? If steak counts I might try it.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Yeah pretty much. Even if you don't 100% shift your diet over to it, it's worth replacing 1-2 days per week with an all-protein diet and you'll see how it affects you.

The lack of pizza disturbs me.

Does salad dressing count as carbs? Please say no.

 

[Ironbunny]

True and if you just leave the carbs to a minimum or even half them you will get results. For me the bread is to toughest part to live without.

 

[DragoonKain]

True aficionados know him from American History X

 

[Classicrockfan]

I miss my name is earl.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I remember him from Mallrats

 

[Halo is Back]

Damn, good for him!!

 

[Tesseract]

so good to see, everyone must get shredded

 

[Karma Jawa]

He was just accumulating mass.

 

[GymWolf]

i lost like 45 kg in 3-4 months when i was 20
gym, a lot of cardio work, some good thermogenic supplements combo and high proteic low carb\calories diet do that, i know the feeling ethan.

Well - what if you don't have millions of dollars and have to get up at the crack of dawn to go work a job for 10-12 hours a day to support your family? What if that job requires you to be sitting / sedate the majority of the day? What if you get 3-4 hours of solid exercise on the weekends, but you'll never see gains like this guy because your lifestyle doesn't really support it. Sure, you could get up at 4am and squeeze in a workout here or there, to the detriment of your sleep schedule - or work out when you return from the office exhausted. The stress of every day life piles on and is difficult to get out from under it, making it even more difficult to get motivated.

Come on man, if I had millions of dollars I wouldn't have to worry about being put through the ringer all the time so that my family has a roof over their heads and food on the table - I'd be free to work out as much as I wanted to, which is a whole lot more than I'm currently able to.

I know I'll get hit with the "you're just making excuses" shtick like always, but sometimes you've gotta face reality man.

you do have to face reality, you either work hard or you don't

get up earlier, exercise when you return home, all the things you mentioned

and laff at being exhausted from office work, my brother works like 18 hours a day on his feet and still works out

and if we're just talking weight loss here, all you gotta do is eat less (and better foods)

simple

 

[Tesseract]

maybe spend less time telling us what you cannot do, and more time on what you can

I just choose to put my efforts into other things. Having millions of dollars would help shift my priorities pretty considerably, that's all I'm sayin'.

maybe, maybe not

like i said, you either want it or you don't, money doesn't make muscle

 

[GV82]

Funny enough was going to post this earlier was watching My Name is Earl on TV today hadn’t seen it in ages and it was the Bullies episode with the Gym & Randy gets hooked on Shark Adrenaline

Lo and behold looking up Ethan Suplee and see he is now built like the Gym Guys from the episode.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

EDIT: on second thought this joke is a little too tasteless even for me.

So I'll just say he's looking good.

 

[Meowzers]

But if he says it's down to any restriction besides calories then you know it's bro-science.

 

[Ikutachi]

He was fat for his career. He had what it takes to get in shape sooner.

 

[Tesseract]

ugh he's a fucking scientologist

hype deflated, still great but individuality points are now stripped

Dude paid to fix his teeth though, that cannot happen naturally.

While he eventually did get braces to fix his teeth 100%, during shooting they made him wear false teeth as well to make them look even more crooked.

 

[triplestation]

love this guy fat or not

 

[Soleil rouge]

Oh shit it's the fat skin head from American History X. I figured he'd be dead due to complications from diabetes by now.

Who would've thought he'd be in much better shape than Eddy Furlong.

 

[TheGreatYosh]

Steak might be the best, especially for men.

 

[Ailynn]

Awesome- Good for him! I love seeing success stories like this. He looks great! ❤

 

[Blade2.0]

[/QUOTE] he was telling you what he can do. If your brother really works 18 hours a day. Then I hope he gets off it soon. He'll probably be dead quickly.

 

[Ironbunny]

I said it helps.

Yes it certainly helps and everybody has different life situations and people who depend on you. For some it is easier than others and for some down right impossible. But even for those people there is always the diet. Change that and even a minor effect can have long lasting effects. What it boils down to for most of us is to have the will and discipline to want that change.

high-protein diets are dangerous. go plant-based like Tom Brady

and you are wrong, not even deftly

 

[Blade2.0]

and you are wrong, not even deftly

I'm not wrong at all.

 

[Son Tofu]

Being thin isn't that hard. Looking like the guy from My name is Earl is a bit more difficult.

I dropped 80 lbs in 6 months by just fasting every other day.

It really depends on what you are aiming for.
I suppose it also depends on why you are doing it.

If someone is just aiming to lose weight then it should be possible just by adjustments to diet.
Though a lot of times these changes will make your weekly/monthly food spend a bit more expensive.
Especially if you are looking to have a very specialized diet.

With working out you are 100% correct in that the more "success" you want to see the more time, effort and money you are going to have to put in.
The more you've got going on elsewhere in life the more difficult that will be.
