Ever since my bodybuilding show back in

0:01

May, I've been putting on weight. Like a

0:04

lot of weight. So that's why I'm going

0:06

to be spending the next week [music]

0:07

trying every weight loss method I can

0:09

find. From lasers that literally melt

0:11

fat to hypnosis that makes my favorite

0:13

junk food taste like But it all

0:14

starts with one of the most famous ways

0:16

to lose weight. OMAD. One meal a day. My

0:20

life is pretty much just a waiting game

0:23

until the next meal. So this is going to

0:24

be a long wait. I'm already hungry. I

0:27

already want a cracker open behind me.

0:29

and I can't eat until [music] 6:00 p.m.

0:31

So, time to go an entire day without

0:33

thinking about food. While I was

0:35

waiting, I wanted to check my starting

0:36

weight, which was 197.5 lb.

0:40

Unfortunately, OMAD doesn't stand for

0:41

only me and donuts. So, [music]

0:43

breakfast is looking like this. Nothing.

0:45

Luckily, I can have black coffee. I got

0:48

this fancy new machine where I have to

0:49

do this now. Look at me. I'm I'm a

0:51

barista. I think with the coffee, I

0:53

actually feel pretty confident. This

0:55

shouldn't be too bad. I also had a lot

0:57

of work to do. and I just recently moved

0:59

into a new house, so food wasn't on the

1:01

top of my mind.

1:02

>> I can't believe I'm saying this right

1:03

now, but fasting is kind of nice. I feel

1:06

like I'm getting a lot done. I'm sharper

1:08

with my tasks. And it's also almost

1:11

1:00, so time is literally flying by

1:13

right now. When you're busy, you don't

1:15

think about food. It's just simple. So,

1:18

making it to [music] 6:00 p.m.

1:21

Easy. As much as I felt confident that

1:23

time was flying, it eventually didn't.

1:26

At 3 p.m. things got weird. Really

1:28

weird. I had thoughts that I wasn't

1:31

proud of. The hunger became so

1:33

overwhelming it was hard to push off. I

1:35

just thought of the most genius fasting

1:38

hack. Check this out. So, we have an

1:39

original pack of Oreos here. And all you

1:41

have to do is replace the entire pack

1:45

with ice cubes.

1:50

21 hours fasted right now and it is

1:54

getting so hard which is why I'm out of

1:57

the house. I just can't be near the

1:58

kitchen right now. All that I'm thinking

2:00

about is [music] food and ways in which

2:03

I can break my fast. Very creative ways.

2:06

I did not even know my imagination could

2:08

go that far and none of those ways are

2:10

healthy. So very very bingy mindset

2:14

which I do not like. at the grocery

2:17

store right now about to go in and get

2:18

supplies for my feed. And I just I can't

2:21

imagine this going well. This is going

2:22

to be like taking a recovering alcoholic

2:24

on a wine tour. Like I am one mood swing

2:28

away from cannibalism. So I better not

2:29

be tested in there. Better not be. Let's

2:32

go.

2:36

They have no filled donuts left. But

2:38

that's all right because where you may

2:40

see a flaw, I see opportunity. The fat

2:44

kid in me just wants to get some chips,

2:45

candy, [music] frozen pizza, ice cream,

2:48

and go to town. But then the bodybuilder

2:50

in me wants to put that fat kid in a

2:52

headlock [music] and it's like, "No, get

2:54

your chicken and veggies."

2:59

>> Jeez.

3:02

I'm not going to lie, I do also suffer

3:04

from premature celebration, and I did

3:07

sneak a piece of potato before 6:00 p.m.

3:10

I I was just so hungry. But look at

3:12

this. Look at this freaking feast right

3:14

now. I mean, it's kind of overkill, but

3:17

the way I see it is this isn't just

3:19

dinner. This is avenging 23 hours of

3:23

starvation. And speaking of that, the

3:26

entire day suffering, starving, and now

3:28

looking down at this spread, it kind of

3:30

makes it all worth it. It's like coming

3:32

back home to Katie after a long work

3:34

trip. [music]

3:35

And speaking of Katie, she better get

3:37

home soon because I only get so long in

3:39

my eating window. All right, let's see

3:40

if my stomach still remembers how to do

3:42

this. [music]

3:46

Oh

3:48

ma,

3:51

I just douse the potatoes with coconut

3:53

oil. I don't normally do that, but

3:56

because I have the calories, I can eat

3:57

it a lot more nutrientdense than I

3:59

normally would. Like, I got two avocados

4:02

in here. Let's dig into these thighs.

4:04

Feeling super primal right now. And just

4:06

going into a whole piece of chicken like

4:07

this. I told myself I'd eat slowly,

4:10

mindfully, like a civilized human. But I

4:13

absolutely house this meal. I'm pretty

4:16

sure at one point I actually blacked

4:18

out. I am so [snorts]

4:21

full right now. It is so uncomfortable,

4:23

but I love it. On a diet, this feeling

4:26

is hard to come by. So, that's a big

4:28

plus for OMAD. It's definitely a diet

4:32

that you need to get used to, but I feel

4:34

like once you get used to it, it's quite

4:36

sustainable for a lot of people. [music]

4:38

But if you're going to use this diet to

4:40

just eat junk food is not for you. So if

4:43

you focus on whole foods, [music] focus

4:45

on nutrients and protein, then I feel

4:47

like the OMAD diet

4:50

is really good. OMAD 7.5 out of 10.

4:54

Electric fork. I'm being serious. This

4:57

fork literally electrocutes you if you

4:59

eat too fast. I mean, a vibrating toy.

5:02

Definitely up my alley. Now, you might

5:04

be wondering, why do they even make

5:06

things like this? Well, there's tons of

5:07

studies showing that the slower you eat,

5:09

the less you eat, and thus you lose more

5:11

weight. So, this is kind of just

5:12

reinforcing to take your time with your

5:15

meal. Now, I can't pace myself with

5:18

anything really. So, this is going to be

5:21

interesting. I have six pieces of French

5:23

toast in front of me. Yesterday, I had

5:25

the exact same meal. ate it as I

5:26

normally would and that took me 3

5:28

minutes and 26 seconds which is a huge

5:31

wakeup call. I have to slow down and and

5:33

[music] come up for air every now and

5:35

then. But we are going to see how much

5:37

longer it takes me to eat the French

5:38

toast with the electrical fork. How this

5:41

thing works is pretty simple. It's like

5:43

a Squid Game red light green light, but

5:45

[music] except it's my cutlery that can

5:47

eliminate me. Basically, I do not eat

5:49

when it's flashing red. When it stops, I

5:52

get to eat. If I eat while it's flashing

5:54

red, I get eliminated. Aka, I get

5:57

vibrated. Okay, so it's flashing. If I

5:59

go for a bite.

6:01

Oh, okay. That has a a vibration power

6:04

that intrigues me, but also

6:07

spurs my creativity. Okay, time to start

6:09

the clock and see how long this takes.

6:15

Okay, we're good to go.

6:21

Oh, I got vibrated.

6:25

Now we wait.

6:32

Okay, we're good. I don't think I've

6:33

ever been this present with French

6:35

toast. I think I'm giving it more

6:36

attention than I give most people.

6:39

What?

6:41

Why are you busting me? I didn't even

6:43

get a bite. I'm not even halfway done.

6:44

And we're already over what it took me

6:47

yesterday to finish. This is kind of

6:49

weird. I don't know if I'm no longer

6:51

hungry or if I'm just getting

6:52

frustrated, but we have two in a bit

6:55

pieces left. And I'm I'm kind of feeling

6:58

full right now. I kind of feel like I

7:00

did yesterday when I finished the meal.

7:04

Huh.

7:05

I think it's kind of like drinking

7:06

alcohol. You pound a bunch of shots

7:08

really fast. You don't feel drunk right

7:09

away, but then it kicks in in a bit and

7:11

you're like, "Whoa, what did I do?" It's

7:13

kind of the same thing with eating. If

7:14

you take your time, you let the food

7:15

kind of settle in your stomach and

7:17

you're kind of like, "Oh yeah, I don't

7:18

really need to have six pieces. I could

7:20

have just had four."

7:23

Took me 8 minutes and 9 seconds to eat

7:25

the French toast, which is a lot longer

7:26

than last time. I was full after four

7:28

pieces, but I had all six [music]

7:30

because I need to finish all the food

7:31

that's in front of me regardless of how

7:33

I feel, which is a separate issue

7:34

[music] that I'm going to um face

7:36

another time. But in terms of the fork,

7:38

I think it's great if you're a fast

7:39

eater like me. It teaches you to slow

7:43

down. Then eventually you can use a

7:44

regular fork that won't zap you and

7:46

you'll just automatically eat a lot

7:48

slower, eat less, and then over time the

7:51

weight just sheds off. So I think this

7:54

is actually

7:56

really good.

7:57

>> Electric fork 7 out of 10. Next up, a

8:00

treadmill. Sort of. You'll see. I think

8:03

the first thing that people think about

8:04

when trying to lose weight is that

8:05

they're never ever going to see pizza

8:07

again. But also treadmills. I hate them

8:10

so much. Like, if Satan had a gym, it

8:13

would just all be treadmills. Maybe a

8:14

cab machine. I I hate them. But that

8:18

might all change today because we're

8:20

about to try a treadmill sauna. And

8:22

saying that out loud sounds extremely

8:25

dangerous, like something straight out

8:26

of a anabolic saw movie, but apparently

8:29

it burns 65% more calories than a

8:32

regular treadmill, which is significant.

8:35

And here it is. Like, look at this

8:37

thing. It's like NASA meets Weight

8:39

[music] Watchers. Like, this is so

8:40

futuristic. Like, this is crazy. Before

8:43

I started my run, I had to put this cute

8:45

skirt on. This is what's going to trap

8:46

the hot air in the treadmill. [music]

8:48

>> So, how many calories if I'm going to do

8:50

like 20 to 30 minutes?

8:52

>> Uh, 700,000 calories.

8:54

>> 1,000 calories.

8:56

>> Yeah.

8:56

>> Why are you burning 65% more calories in

8:58

this?

8:58

>> So, the the the lymphatic drainage

9:00

that's happening is also when it

9:02

decompresses the air as well inside

9:03

there. And then the infrared that you

9:05

have on the side, the lamps as well.

9:06

Okay. All right. I look like I'm being

9:09

birthed by the treadmill. I'm going to

9:11

be a born again cardio bunny, but

9:14

already my legs are super hot. It's a

9:18

very weird sensation right now. So, I'm

9:20

going to do a 20 minute run, which I

9:23

have no idea how I'm going to last that

9:24

long in such a tight space, but we're

9:27

going to try our best. And we are going

9:29

to start the Apple Watch to see what the

9:34

calorie burn is going to look like.

9:35

Three, two, one. All right, [music]

9:38

let's go.

9:39

>> I'm really curious to compare the

9:41

calorie burn on this treadmill to my

9:43

Apple Watch. My watch is what I rely on

9:45

dayto-day. So, if this thing pushes the

9:47

numbers higher, I'll know something's

9:49

actually happening. We've only been

9:51

going for a minute and 20 seconds, and I

9:54

already feel sweat starting to develop

9:57

right now. He said it burns 1,000

10:00

calories in 30 minutes.

10:04

So, I'm expecting this thing to

10:05

literally cook fat off my body. I could

10:09

see Elon Musk using this to build his

10:11

revenge body after after a breakup or

10:13

something. Coming into this, I was

10:15

convinced it was a gimmick. But the

10:17

moment the heat kicked in, it was

10:18

obvious this is significantly harder

10:20

than a normal treadmill. My heart rate

10:22

was climbing faster, my breathing got

10:24

heavier, and the effort level was way

10:26

higher than what I'm used to at the same

10:28

speed. If that's the case, the increased

10:31

calorie burn might actually be legit.

10:33

All right, we're going to adjust the

10:34

sauna heat.

10:36

Let's crank this bad boy up. We're

10:38

currently 7 minutes in and it says we

10:41

have burnt 247

10:44

calories and that calorie total is just

10:47

ticking up every second. Like look how

10:49

fast that number is going up. That's

10:52

insane. One thing I do really appreciate

10:55

about the treadill is that it still

10:57

requires you to work out and put effort

10:58

in. It's not something that claims you

11:00

can lie on a table and obliterate fat

11:02

like some of the other things we're

11:03

trying later in the video. I don't even

11:05

do cardio, so I'm building up my cardio

11:07

tolerance and my sauna tolerance. And

11:10

right now, I think I'm struggling more

11:12

with the heat than the actual cardio

11:14

itself, which is a really weird feeling.

11:19

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

11:28

Okay, we just finished 20 minutes. And

11:31

here it says I burned 635 calories in 20

11:35

minutes, which is exactly in line with

11:38

the prediction of 750 to 1,000 in half

11:42

an hour, if not more. The interesting

11:45

thing is on my Apple Watch it only says

11:48

I burnt 179 calories. So

11:53

is that caloric inflation to get me

11:55

hooked onto this? Could be. But it

11:58

certainly feels like I went harder than

12:00

179 calories. [panting]

12:03

I think my soul is still in there. That

12:05

was an exercise. That was an exorcism,

12:07

man. My legs. Look how wet they look.

12:10

Glistening.

12:12

Honestly, it feels like I just did an

12:15

hour of cardio.

12:17

So, I mean, if that caloric total is

12:19

correct, this is a no-brainer. Like, 635

12:23

calories in 20 minutes is sick. I also

12:26

feel like these are very hard to find

12:28

unless you live in LA or something. But

12:30

if you can find these and it's accurate,

12:34

bro, it's game changer. Game changer.

12:38

But why do I feel like this is more

12:40

right? Because I'm still very skeptical

12:42

of its accuracy, I have to give the

12:44

Sonnet treadmill a 4 and 1/2 out of 10.

12:46

Up next, hypnosis. Dieting didn't work.

12:50

Exercise didn't work. So, naturally, the

12:52

next step is hypnosis, just like

12:54

swinging to save a marriage. But

12:55

sometimes we do need other people to

12:56

tell us that we're not hungry. And I

12:58

don't really know much about hypnosis.

13:00

But what I would gather is people who go

13:02

to hypnosis, their self-control is just

13:04

it's in the toilet. Like, it just can't

13:06

be worse than that. But there's a lot of

13:08

studies showing that this works. And

13:10

hey, I'm excited. Dangle something in

13:11

front of my face and I'll do whatever

13:13

they say to the best of my ability or

13:15

flexibility.

13:16

>> So, I walked in a little unsure of what

13:18

to expect and met with owner Luke. He's

13:20

going to be the one to perform this

13:21

session on me.

13:22

>> All right. Well, so I understand that

13:24

you're here for healthier eating habits.

13:26

[music] Is that correct?

13:28

>> Okay. [laughter] And I understand that

13:30

your greatest vice is sweets. Is it

13:33

paper?

13:34

>> Donuts specifically.

13:35

>> Okay. And ideally, you'd be eating

13:37

instead of donuts, you'd be eating

13:40

fruit. Fruits.

13:40

>> Fruit. Okay. [music] Okay. Fantastic.

13:42

So, hypnosis essentially works through

13:44

verbal suggestion. That's a fancy way to

13:46

say I'm going to be talking [music]

13:48

almost non-stop. And the content of my

13:50

speech is going to be how someone might

13:53

[music] think, ideally, to go for the

13:55

fruit and not for the donut. Can you

13:57

[music] make me like fear donuts or like

13:59

make donuts like in my mind taste not

14:02

that great? Um,

14:05

probably, but it's not necessary.

14:08

Whenever you're ready, you can close

14:09

your eyes, take a deep breath in, fill

14:12

your lungs all the way up, and breathe

14:16

out. In every breath, you're breathing,

14:19

and notice how perfectly your body

14:21

listens to your request for deep

14:24

breaths.

14:26

Now, that's your mind body connection in

14:28

action. [snorts]

14:29

Your body listens faithfully to whatever

14:31

you ask of it. And if you start thinking

14:33

of fruits, for example, as delicious, if

14:36

you start thinking of them as top tier

14:39

foods, god tier foods,

14:42

then your body listens. Your body starts

14:45

to want the real thing and will not

14:47

settle for anything fake or factory-made

14:50

or ultrarocessed.

14:52

>> Luke's voice is soothing like a lullaby

14:54

to the beast that is my stomach. Your

14:57

body

14:59

deserves

15:01

quality, nutritious foods packed full of

15:05

moisture and fiber and vitamins and

15:08

minerals.

15:10

And your body simply doesn't deserve

15:14

what we literally call junk.

15:16

>> As he guided me deeper into hypnosis, he

15:19

started painting this picture where

15:20

donuts were out of my life and fruit was

15:23

suddenly the most irresistible thing.

15:25

I'll continue to speak ideas that cause

15:28

relaxation

15:29

that cause a sense of self-love and

15:31

self- appreciation

15:33

and that allow you to gravitate toward

15:36

what you already know to be good and

15:39

healthy and probably out of a sense of

15:41

self-love and self-respect. You might

15:43

actually gravitate away from everything

15:46

you already understand to be not [music]

15:49

good for you at all. Probably not even

15:52

good enough for you to feed to a dog. I

15:55

didn't love the disrespect towards

15:56

donuts, but I was so [music] relaxed, I

15:58

almost accepted it. The way he described

16:00

fruit made it feel more desirable than

16:02

anything I've ever craved. And honestly,

16:05

lying there, I felt completely open to

16:08

whatever Luke said next. Even when you

16:10

have a sweet tooth, even when you crave

16:13

sugar, your body's telling you go find a

16:15

fruitbearing tree. Go find a patch of

16:18

berries. [music]

16:19

It's not telling you go find a doughnut

16:22

shop. This future where

16:25

stuff extruded [music]

16:27

from machines

16:31

is beneath your [music] notice.

16:35

This future

16:38

is [music] a good one. He wasn't saying

16:41

anything I didn't already know, just the

16:43

usual warnings about donuts. But in that

16:45

hypnotized state, the obvious suddenly

16:48

felt powerful. I could feel my desire

16:50

for them slipping away. or shall I say

16:53

becoming beneath my notice. [music]

16:55

>> There are delicate natural flavors that

16:59

even the most brilliant food scientists

17:01

cannot hope to replicate on a factory

17:05

floor. As all of this sinks in, then

17:08

open your eyes to return fully back to

17:12

the room out here.

17:15

>> How do you feel?

17:17

>> Wow, man.

17:18

>> Was a trip, eh?

17:19

>> Yeah. I felt like you were like inside

17:21

me the whole time.

17:23

>> Oh,

17:24

>> it's um it's an altered state of

17:26

consciousness.

17:28

And uh yeah, you know, I appreciate that

17:31

you you permitted yourself to immerse

17:33

yourself in in that experience.

17:37

>> Thank you.

17:38

>> You're welcome. Thank you.

17:39

>> Appreciate it.

17:40

>> I'm either healed or deeply gaslit. Time

17:43

will tell. So, I mean, I'm hoping I

17:46

don't have a mysterious fear of donuts

17:48

and start barking when I see chips.

17:51

So, we're going to go test that right

17:52

now.

17:52

>> For test one, I was curious to see if my

17:55

experience eating a donut would be any

17:57

different. Usually, I look at donuts

17:58

with lust. Now, all I'm seeing are red

18:01

flags. When Will goes into the doughnut

18:03

shop, I would guess that a lot of what I

18:07

said when he was in the chair today is

18:10

going to come back to mind. Probably not

18:13

as precise of words, probably as a

18:18

feeling. [music] I will be honest, I'm

18:20

not as enthusiastic about this donut in

18:23

front of me, which is kind of strange

18:25

because like looking at it, I just see

18:27

the grease. I see like the

18:28

artificialness to it. Things that I

18:30

never really thought beforehand. I

18:32

usually just used to look at it as like

18:34

the apex food. [music]

18:36

Now it's just like

18:38

kind of kind of garbage.

18:41

Right.

18:43

>> Luke was right. Everything was still

18:45

fresh in my head and it made my doughnut

18:47

experience genuinely less desirable.

18:50

>> It's not hidden the same. It's not

18:52

hidden the same.

18:52

>> I almost fear multiple sessions would

18:54

make me completely forget them.

18:56

>> It's way more sweet than normal. [music]

19:00

And I I just feel like I don't need to

19:01

have more.

19:04

Wow.

19:07

That's kind of sad. It's kind of an end

19:08

of an era. For test two, I went to a

19:10

grocery store to see what my behavior is

19:12

like. What do I notice? What do I crave?

19:14

What do I [music] not want?

19:15

>> I'm a lot more excited about being in

19:17

the produce section cuz all I'm thinking

19:19

about right now is Luke telling me

19:22

nature's harvest. I'm craving a

19:23

grapefruit. Not in my usual way. Like

19:26

the juiciness is exciting.

19:28

>> Looking around the produce section, I

19:30

felt that I had a deeper sense of

19:31

[music] excitement toward the fruit and

19:33

veggies. I noticed the beautiful colors

19:35

a lot more. When he was talking about

19:37

berries, his strawberry talk hit. I

19:41

think I might have to get some

19:41

strawberries. Probably he's fixated

19:46

[music] enough on what he wants, which

19:50

is going to be the fruits and the

19:51

berries and the vegetables that the

19:54

bakery section [music] is, if not

19:57

beneath his notice, much less on his

20:00

radar, much less compelling. I mean,

20:03

it's not nearly as exciting right now

20:04

because like now I'm thinking about the

20:07

produce section with all the colors.

20:08

It's very one note here now. It kind of

20:11

just seems like meh. Like, normally I'd

20:12

look at this and be like, "Oh my god, I

20:14

want this so bad." But now all I'm doing

20:17

is looking at this being like, I cannot

20:19

put this in my body. Like my body needs

20:21

this. Being in this section, all I can

20:24

think about is Luke, which is awakening

20:27

a different kind of hunger. All right,

20:28

here we go.

20:38

It tastes sweeter than I remember

20:41

strawberries to taste. Tastes more like

20:42

candy. Nature's candy. That is very

20:46

enjoyable. It's so juicy. I can taste

20:49

the fiber. I can taste the vitamins and

20:51

minerals. My idea of hypnosis has

20:54

completely changed. I thought hypnosis

20:57

was taking over my body. All it was

20:59

doing was making me realize the obvious

21:02

things that I don't want donuts. They're

21:05

not good for me. They're processed. You

21:07

want the high quality foods. And then

21:09

when you just start to believe that,

21:12

it's kind of what you actually want. So

21:13

I think hypnosis works with the fruit. I

21:17

noticed the complete opposite experience

21:18

that I had with the donut. I noticed

21:20

everything about what I was eating and

21:22

it was super enjoyable. [music]

21:24

>> Look at that. It's nature's Hershey's

21:26

kiss.

21:26

>> Hypnosis. Seven out of 10. Next up, IV

21:30

drip. I am currently being penetrated by

21:33

a weight loss metabolism booster IV. And

21:36

all I'm saying is that IV drip up there,

21:39

there must be a new strain of CO in it

21:40

to get me to stop eating. And just like

21:43

astrology, I have no idea if IVs are a

21:46

scam or not, but I seem to keep doing

21:48

them. And I feel like I have no right to

21:51

be skeptical because I did get

21:52

successfully hypnotized to hate donuts.

21:54

So, anything can help, I guess. Here's

21:57

what's in the drip. I haven't heard of

21:59

anything other than tryptophan, which is

22:01

in turkey. So, if this can give me

22:02

Thanksgiving level fullness without the

22:04

shame or calories, I'll be truly

22:07

unstoppable. Drip, drop, drip, drop.

22:13

Every drip, my appetite drops,

22:17

I'm not even hungry anymore.

22:18

>> Another ingredient that's pretty cool is

22:20

the friamine, which is an amino acid

22:21

blend to ensure nutrients are sufficient

22:24

so the body doesn't crave food as much.

22:26

It's been like 10 minutes and I I taste

22:28

Cheerios in my mouth. I don't know why,

22:31

but I do. And I haven't had Cheerios.

22:33

So, if I feel like I've had Cheerios and

22:36

I haven't,

22:37

Things are looking good. What's up, bro?

22:40

What are you doing? You are so cute.

22:42

You're lucky I'm not hungry cuz I would

22:44

eat you up.

22:45

>> As the IV drip bag got smaller and

22:47

smaller, I started to feel weird. Not

22:51

bad, just different.

22:54

>> Wow. It's all inside me now. So

22:57

hopefully it gives me the appetite and

22:59

metabolism of a toddler. That'd be so

23:02

sweet.

23:02

>> It's been like 5 minutes since I

23:04

finished the IV drip and I feel amazing.

23:06

I feel happier. I feel calmer. I feel

23:08

like I've had a light breakfast and I

23:10

haven't eaten anything yet. [music] So

23:12

I'm very curious to see how the rest of

23:14

the day goes. And my first stop is of

23:16

course the gym. I can't remember the

23:18

last time I did a completely fasted

23:20

workout, so I was [music] interested to

23:21

see how I perform. Fasted workout is

23:24

going amazing so far. And I feel a lot

23:26

more focused than normal. Maybe because

23:28

I'm counting reps instead of seconds to

23:30

my next meal. But if my muscles are

23:32

screaming for more fuel,

23:35

I'm definitely not hearing them right

23:36

now. The only hunger I feel right now is

23:38

the hunger to lift heavy. My appetite is

23:42

locked in the basement like a neglected

23:44

stepchild because where is it? I don't

23:46

know where it is. I thought only the

23:50

memory

23:51

of walking in on my parents

23:54

could suppress my appetite. But here we

23:56

are. That ingredient free, the one

23:59

that's supposed to prevent my body from

24:00

craving food. I think it's working

24:02

because I've driven past a McDonald's, a

24:04

crispy cream, and a Tim Hortons without

24:07

even emotionally cheating on my diet.

24:10

And I never do that. Next, it was time

24:12

to get some work done. I'm getting work

24:14

done right now and I haven't thought

24:15

about food at all, which is honestly

24:17

suspicious, especially because I'm doing

24:19

work in the kitchen 20 ft from the

24:22

fridge, which is pretty unusual. I

24:24

literally cannot stop fidgeting, which

24:27

is probably making me burn more

24:28

calories, which is helping me lose more

24:31

fat. It's a little after 3:00. I'm

24:33

having my first meal of the day, and I'm

24:35

not even eating this because of hunger.

24:37

I'm eating this out of pure

24:38

responsibility to my muscles. I easily

24:41

could have pushed my first meal even

24:42

later, but I don't know why I would.

24:44

Like, I don't have anything to prove to

24:45

anybody. So, we have an egg white

24:47

omelette. Normally, I would have toast

24:48

with it. I just didn't even think that I

24:51

needed it. So, I just have the omelette

24:52

here. Little bit of cheese in it. And we

24:55

will see. Maybe the IV drip gets me

24:56

fuller sooner.

25:00

This is kind of weird. I'm already

25:02

feeling satisfied.

25:05

[music] I'm halfway done the omelette.

25:06

Yeah. Like if the omelette was done, I'd

25:09

be okay with it. And usually I don't

25:11

want it to end. You better believe I'm

25:12

still going to finish it anyway. It

25:14

[clears throat] is very obvious the IV

25:16

drip works. However, I did notice some

25:18

side effects. And I don't know how

25:21

sustainable it is. Like I don't think

25:22

you can be injecting yourself very

25:24

regularly. Your arm would literally look

25:26

like a junkie. To be fair, a wellness

25:28

junkie, but still. Like I don't think

25:29

it's sustainable because of those

25:31

things. That is definitely going to

25:32

influence my score. IV drip 5 out of 10.

25:36

Mono diet. When I hear mono, I just

25:39

think about high school where everyone

25:40

was missing so much school for hooking

25:42

up with each other. But not me. [snorts]

25:45

Mono means one. So, I'm only going to be

25:47

having one kind of food today, nothing

25:49

else. So, only having one food is

25:51

supposed to make things easier. And when

25:53

you have no selection, you're just less

25:55

likely to binge and overeat. Although,

25:57

the health score for this kind of diet

25:59

is extremely bad. It's like 0 58 out of

26:01

five. So, not good. Not good at all. The

26:05

most common mono diet food is watermelon

26:08

because it's high in volume and it's

26:10

very hydrating. So, I went to the store

26:12

this morning and got I got so much

26:14

watermelon, a lot of watermelon and

26:15

everyone was looking at me like they

26:16

knew exactly what I was doing. So, going

26:20

to be eating a lot of watermelon today.

26:23

Meal one, 585 calories of watermelon.

26:26

And this is a big bowl. Like, look at

26:28

the I can almost not even hold this up.

26:30

Huge. And because I'm having all 13

26:32

servings, I am getting a whopping 13 g

26:36

of protein in there, which is awesome.

26:44

It just so happens that watermelon is my

26:47

favorite fruit, so this is probably

26:48

going to be pretty easy. [music] I can

26:49

definitely tell why this was 50% off.

26:53

But I can't pass up a deal.

26:56

I feel like a damn gorilla. A very small

26:58

part of me feels like this diet is

27:00

[music] like saying I love you in high

27:01

school. Like at first it's exciting, but

27:04

then I feel like I'm gonna be feeling

27:06

trapped [music] really soon.

27:07

>> Midway through the very first meal, the

27:09

thing I was afraid of finally happened.

27:12

I broke the seal. And once it starts,

27:14

there's no going back.

27:16

>> I could not finish 585 calories of

27:19

watermelon. Normally, a meal with that

27:21

calorie total, I would smoke it easily.

27:24

So maybe this is a good [music] thing.

27:26

Here is meal number two. Mono is like

27:29

monogamy, like monogamous relationship,

27:32

but it's not like I could put syrup on

27:34

this, almond butter,

27:38

whipped cream, you know, it's just all

27:41

just doing it raw. And I'm so tired of

27:43

getting up to pee. I can't even do work.

27:45

This is also going to be my pre-workout

27:47

meal. So, I feel like because of all the

27:49

hydration, the pump is going to be

27:51

incredible.

27:53

But I do feel actually a lot more hungry

27:55

than I did even when I was fasting,

27:57

which is kind of weird. Like I'm

27:59

starving, but somehow I feel bloated

28:01

right now.

28:09

[music]

28:15

[music] Strength has been good. Pump has

28:17

been amazing. Couple downsides. I am

28:20

distractingly hungry. It's crazy how you

28:22

go from being so full after a meal to

28:25

being starving 5 minutes later. And

28:27

that's because there's pretty much no

28:29

nutrients in watermelon. So, I'm It's

28:31

just going right through me. Also, after

28:33

every single set, this is happening.

28:39

So annoying. Post-workout meal prep. I

28:42

will hand it to the mono diet. It is

28:44

extremely easy and time efficient. And

28:47

after this, I think I'm gonna be well

28:49

over a thousand calories in melon. I am

28:52

definitely gonna be an assman after

28:54

this. I want to just make out with a

28:55

walt right now cuz it's dry. I kind of

28:58

also want to cry, but if I cry, I'm

29:00

afraid that I'm going to freaking flood

29:02

my [snorts] car with all the fluids in

29:04

me. I don't know what else to say here

29:05

other than I was absolutely miserable.

29:08

My once favorite fruit has now become my

29:11

greatest enemy. But even though I'd

29:13

rather have anything else in the world

29:14

in my mouth right now, the show must go

29:17

on.

29:21

Did you see that? This one's a squirter,

29:24

man. The best one to squirt when you eat

29:26

them. The juiciness is

29:29

is making me kind of nauseous. It's

29:31

making me kind of sick right now. I'm so

29:33

over it. I did not think a fruit could

29:36

emotionally break me,

29:40

but here we are. I can't do it. It just

29:45

if I put another piece of watermelon in

29:47

my mouth.

29:49

It is not going to end well. I think

29:51

with the mono diet, it makes eating too

29:54

much of a chore. You don't get excited

29:57

about your diet, which you should be,

30:00

even when you're losing weight. And when

30:02

you're not excited about your food,

30:04

I guess you just don't want to eat,

30:06

which I guess would technically make you

30:08

lose weight. But it's not very

30:10

sustainable. This is not a very

30:12

sustainable diet.

30:14

So yeah, I can't do it anymore. And I'm

30:16

also super low on my protein. I I really

30:18

have to catch up. I really need to catch

30:21

up with my protein.

30:22

>> Here I am, just a boy desperate for

30:24

protein, willing to do anything. And I

30:26

know exactly who to open wide for.

30:29

David. I took out some of my favorite

30:31

flavors. Fudge chocolate, chocolate chip

30:33

cookie dough, and blueberry pie. If you

30:35

want to see my David Protein will flavor

30:37

ranking, here it is. Just pause it

30:38

really quick. First was fudge chocolate.

30:41

And this David hits a bit deeper than

30:43

the rest. I love the chocolate chunks.

30:45

It's amazing. Next was cookie dough. It

30:47

actually looks like cookie dough.

30:49

There's just no Pillsberry Doughboy

30:51

trying to kill you. You really can't

30:52

beat these macros. Sorry, it's a fact.

30:54

You can't. 150 calories, 28 g of protein

30:57

per bar, making it the highest [music]

30:59

protein to calorie ratio bar on the

31:02

planet. Lastly, blueberry pie. Look how

31:05

pretty it looks. Usually, fruit flavor

31:07

bars are a bit sketchy, but this one

31:09

tastes like an actual slice of pie.

31:11

Almost like tasting grandma.

31:13

I feel good now. I just had 84 g of

31:16

protein, 450 calories, and 0 g of sugar

31:21

in like 2 minutes. Try doing that with

31:24

anything else. Try doing that with

31:25

chicken breast. You couldn't. You would

31:26

choke and you would die. That would be

31:28

awful. I would not wish that upon

31:29

anybody. So, if you guys want to try

31:31

David Protein, first link in the

31:33

description. I guarantee you're going to

31:35

love them. Mono diet. I'm giving it a

31:38

two. Last but not least, laser therapy.

31:41

>> It does not get much more intense than

31:43

this. We are lasering fat off my body.

31:46

Yo, max [clears throat] this thing out.

31:48

I want smoke coming off my ribs.

31:50

>> Here's what it looked like before the

31:52

treatment. And I'm curious to see if

31:53

I'll notice any difference immediately.

31:56

One thing's for sure, the weight loss

31:57

will be at least cinematic, if not

31:59

effective.

32:03

>> I'm being transported to a slimmer

32:05

dimension. Is there supposed to feel

32:06

like any like burning or anything or

32:08

like heat or nothing?

32:09

>> Uh, it's a it's a non-therrmal laser, so

32:12

you're not going to feel any [music]

32:14

next contest prep. Just see me in here.

32:19

Laser is the failure. I kind of hope

32:21

that something goes wrong cuz I feel

32:23

like this is the kind of thing if

32:24

something goes wrong I become a Marvel

32:26

villain, you know? It just gives me that

32:29

kind of Dr. Evil kind of vibe. I will

32:32

say you can really feel the heat from

32:34

the lasers which is making me believe

32:36

I'm finally about to win the game of

32:37

hide-and-seek I've been playing with my

32:39

abs all my life.

32:41

>> Does lasers help the enlarging

32:42

enlargement at all?

32:45

>> No, you need shock wave. Okay,

32:47

>> here's how this thing works. The laser

32:49

creates small transitory pores for the

32:51

fatty liquids in the fat cells to seep

32:53

out. The fatty liquids are then

32:54

naturally flushed out through the

32:56

lymphatic system. The result is that the

32:58

fat cells shrink instead of being

32:59

killed. When this happens, the shrunken

33:01

fat cells begin to act and function like

33:03

healthy lean cells.

33:06

>> Wo! Workout complete. Feels hot.

33:11

>> Really hot. That's great. Yeah.

33:12

>> Comparing the before and after photos,

33:14

you can clearly see a visible difference

33:16

in the ab area. Typically, you're

33:18

supposed to do seven to 10 sessions for

33:20

maximum results. However, I'm not

33:22

convinced these changes aren't just

33:24

temporary. Because of that, I'm giving

33:26

the lasers a 4 out of 10. Across 7 days

33:29

and seven different methods, some stood

33:32

out, others fell flat, and a few they're

33:35

better off forgotten. But every now and

33:37

then, you try something that lingers,

33:40

something that stays with you in ways

Interactive Summary

The video documents a week-long journey where the creator, after gaining weight from a bodybuilding show, tries seven different weight loss methods. Starting at 197.5 lbs, he explores One Meal A Day (OMAD), an electric fork designed to slow eating, a treadmill sauna, hypnosis to change food perceptions, an IV metabolism booster, a mono-diet focusing solely on watermelon, and laser therapy for fat reduction. While some methods like OMAD (7.5/10) and hypnosis (7/10) showed promising results in controlling appetite and changing eating habits, others like the mono-diet (2/10) proved unsustainable and miserable. The electric fork (7/10) helped slow down eating, and the IV drip (5/10) suppressed appetite but was not a long-term solution. The treadmill sauna (4.5/10) was physically demanding but raised calorie count skepticism, and laser therapy (4/10) showed immediate visual changes but its long-term effectiveness was doubted. The experiment concludes with a diverse set of findings on the practicality, effectiveness, and sustainability of various weight loss strategies.
