  SPEAKER_00: Fat is tough.
• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: Fat isn't easy.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I know that you're probably one of those, if you have been fat for a while, you're probably tired of it.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: And you're also tired about how difficult it is to try to lose it.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: Folks, the body doesn't really want to change from where it currently is.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: And if you're overfeeding it and you're putting on subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, just body fat in general, and you've worked up a surplus of that fat, to get it off becomes a little difficult because typically it's not we're going up five pounds and then immediately attack it and reduce those five pounds.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's that we sit and we become comfortable.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: Five pounds turns into 10, 10 to 20, 20 to 40.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then all of a sudden you're thinking, geez, I can't believe I let myself get this far out of whack.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's time to attack it.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: By that time, you've been sitting at that fatness for quite a while, and the body's very comfortable.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't want to make any movements from that particular level.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: So then you might be talking to a friend and they say, hey, I tried this weight loss drug and it was fantastic.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: It cut my appetite down to almost nothing.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: Again, that is something you can look at, and I do definitely recommend at least taking a look, but get a couple different views from people that have medical backgrounds as to whether you should or not.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: Now I understand, I know that I went to a doctor.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: I was talking in the very beginning after I had torched off a lot of the body fat because previously to that I had started testosterone therapy because my hormone level with regard to testosterone was incredibly low.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: I was tired all the time, didn't have any motivation, the gym time sucked, it was just horrible.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: So I went to a doctor, they ran my blood work, did all my tests, and recommended that I start testosterone therapy.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: So thereby I did that.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: Several months later, I used a lot of fasting.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: I torched off a lot of fat.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: And then going back to a different doctor to get a general checkup, he had nothing but problems.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: But I said, Doc, I was 365 pounds.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: I had a 65-inch waist.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: I was breathing heavy all the time.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: I had high blood pressure.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: I was on drugs.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: I was taking statins, high blood pressure medication.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: I was pre-diabetic to the point of very, very close to needing insulin and the triglycerides in my blood were through the roof.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: I was Doc a walking heart attack.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: He said, testosterone, it's pitch shown to cause this and this.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, Well, fair enough.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: Show me where that is.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: But because I chiseled off all that fat, got rid of all that visceral fat with the choking out my organs.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: Are you telling me that I would have been better off trying to lose the fat as I had all this time without fasting and without starting getting my hormones in gear?
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: And believe it or not, he said yes.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: Don't know what to tell you.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: My story, my story's different than most.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Do your research.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: Talk to some good doctors.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see you in the next one.
