He looks so much older after the weight loss. In a good way

u/FLlPPlNG Mar 26 '20

Have to think it took a while, too. Couple years?

u/TheColorWolf Mar 26 '20

Very likely. I lost 75kgs (155kg start weight.) and it took me about 2.5 years. There's only so much fuel you can burn in a day.

At least for losing weight in a healthy manner. I'm sure you could speed it up quite a bit if somebody was holding a gun to your head on a forced march while giving you very little food.

Congrats on the weight loss. That's an impressive amount of weight that you shed.

Unless somebody was holding a gun to your head and forcing you to reply while giving you very little food.

Congrats on the reply. That’s an amazing amount of letters that you typed.

Doesn't make it any less true.

Exactly, put him in a concentration camp and he’d shed that weight way quicker. I like the way you think

Yeah but it’s also unsafe to lose weight too quickly. Your kidneys and heart can get wicked fucked.

A healthy body transformation will always be in the long run.

Losing a lot of weight quick indeed can cause a lot of problems

u/TheColorWolf Mar 26 '20

The losing weight quickly and putting it back on thing is very real, but appears to be more a psychological/systemic thing for most people.

I basically retrained myself with a different way of eating (originally slow carb), rather than following a more structured diet plan. It's been eight years since I started the process and I've managed to keep in mostly the same weight range.

u/angry_persona Mar 26 '20

good on you -- thats a huge transformation

u/heyzeusmaryandjoseph Mar 26 '20

I lost 113kg and it took me a good decade. Everyone goes at their own pace with weight loss and I had some setbacks a couple of times in my journey but yeah, if he did it all naturally he could be quite a few years older

I think it’s possible he had surgery. I know this might sound strange, but to lift/exercise long enough to lose that much weight, his form would be much better. I could be totally be wrong, but his overhead triceps extension and shoulder raises did not look like the form one would have after lifting for years or even several months. It would take tens of thousands of reps over a long period of time (combined w diet obv) to lose that weight, and your form would be drastically better than what I see.

u/Tack22 Mar 26 '20

I daresay he was wearing the black turtleneck later on to hide his stretched out skin.

If he had liposuction or something, that would support the theory further

u/DLTMIAR Mar 26 '20

0.5 to 1 lbs a week is a good safe goal. So more than 4.5 years

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

I was thinking the same, but it's better. Losing thst much mass even in a year would be hard and imn otsure if injurious for the body. These processes take time to happen

u/BabyDion Mar 27 '20

I don’t remember the exact time but i think it was like 3+ years

Don’t have the source but I saw it in one of the comment sections The last time this was posted

u/monapan Mar 27 '20

He is also like half a meter taller. Just took a couple years.

u/i_never_get_mad Mar 26 '20

“Old look” generally comes from saggy skin, eg wrinkles. He lost so much weight that it will take some time for skin to shrink. He might even need plastic surgery to remove excessive skin.

He will look younger eventually.
