RAPID WEIGHT LOSS ~ RELEASE EXCESS WEIGHT QUICKLY, SAFELY AND EASILY

[TheValerie57]

I can't think of anything better in life to do than to encourage someone in need of encouragement.

way to be dan!

[skertsk8skert]

idk y.. but Dan's overall look kinda reminds me of the way Jesus looked.

[AuroranLauriel]

Wonderful conversation! Wow! I'm so impressed with Don's candor and I so appreciate what you both shared with all of us. I learned a great deal from this open discussion. I wish Don all the best on this journey.

[TheOraclesPearls]

Don, You need to detox with fruit first.

[llamaArdiente]

To: Don I don't know you, but am proud of you for calling out for help.... May God bless you on your Journey...

[rawbirbella]

Hi Dan, haven't commented in a while though I hardly miss a video. THIS ONE was outstanding again. I will listen to it time and time again since it has so much hope and positivity in it to "drink" some more times. Thanks for all you do.

[MegaSIMPLETruth]

How can you call yourself Jesus?? You are a demon

[TheRaspyshoes]

@MegaSIMPLETruth If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all!

[mayfranz700]

thanks Dan and to the person you talked to on the phone for sharing this. im 5'1" and 115lbs. my husband is 6'4" 250 lbs. i eat 2-3x what he eats!!!! what i hate is im struggling to be vegan again after trying raw vegan on and off for 6 months. i wanted to go back raw vegan and do it for life becoz of the great benefits physically and mentally and i dont want food tobe in control. I eat SAD food to connect or socialize or when im emotionally wreck. that's me and my husband fun thing to do.

[annettepuskarich1]

I so relate to Don's scenario....lack of follow through, knowing intellectually what to do, the starts and stops, etc. I could have had this very same conversation with you, Dan. Thank you, Dan.

[jezzieBell05]

Number 1 way to success to raw is to get enough calories! Plan how to get 3000 raw calories before you embark on your day everyday. It worked for me!

[p597jimvel]

you r the man dan!! when you come to los angeles,ca? please let me know!!

[pierrette51]

Having a healthy Body, Mind and Spirit is a total package.Don's inability to package all three is only due to the foods he eats. You know Don, 10 years ago I was willing to wind it all up.I was 49 242 pounds and I was always sick and tired.I did what you are doing now.I decided that I was worth it.Hey man, follow Dan.He really helps millions. He has been there and is a real icon today.Thanks Dan for this video.

[ocbc1975]

Dan another great video. It is awesome to see you in action and truly being a helping hand. It is also great to see that your videos are hitting home to another person living in a life of obesity. I was totally shocked to hear that his Dr's were not recommending this lifestyle what a joke. God Bless and Best Wishes to you Dan and all those you come into contact via your videos and in person.

[mikecazzx]

This is an incredibly insightful look into why we are overweight and I am not talking about 50 or 200 pounds overweight. We are all using proceed foods as a drug to numb our minds. This might be the most important video Dan has ever done.

[coda4life]

Nice! Just ordered your DVD, Green Juice Recipes.

Thanks again for all the great support!!

[mesomiko]

Wow! Great video. I just saw that you were in my work neighborhood in NYC over the summer, and I missed you!! When will you be returning to NYC. Ever heard of Organic Avenue? Would you ever do something with them?

[msfairiebloom]

Sending love Don and Dan! You helped save my life! Bless both of your hearts.

[SFwhitegirl]

I wish you the best of luck. I can relate to what your going Thur its hard. Hang in there. God Bless.

[Bebba37]

I am so glad he decided not to do that worthless bypass surgery!! He is going to loose weight and get healthy the natural way!!!

[cupcakes869]

80/10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!! eat as much as you want and lose weight feel great!

[MsCandid1]

You can train your body to like healthy foods and dislike unhealthy ones. It just takes several weeks and then you start craving the healthy stuff and nothing else will satisfy.

Wish me luck

Love the video :)

[ddAdmire]

thank you dan and everyone for the positive messages and love. never in my life have i felt this kind of support. the messages have flooded my mailbox with hope, support, and understanding. thank you all.

[nyxs60]

Thank you so much Dan. This resonated with me on so many levels. Lots of love and support to you both ;)

[vicky2c]

That's always been my advice...right on. I say the more fruit you eat, the less of something else.

[joy4ki]

Don you are on the way to regaining your life. Your compassionate and deserve a healthy joyful life. Go jump into life. Much love on your journey.

[misssjuska]

Thank you Dan! Be gratefull, be helpfull, be whoever you want to be! Just be :)

[adnetjm]

Props to you for helping people start their detox! I stopped eating all processed white stuff a long time ago because I was getting IBS from frying vegetables in veg. oil. I juiced for yrs, love beets and radishes, and baked with the left over mulch long time ago. Portions of foodR small. My recent juicer parts got lost when I moved. So I eat healthy until I can buy another one. I miss juicing. I work out on beach early in morn, deep breathing, stretching, feng shui. I pick up rocks 4 arms etc.

[adnetjm]

Detox-Yes, i think this is too radical for him to do too fast. He is diabetic, needs more solid mix like avocado + spinach. I pop a few veggie chicken burghers in the toaster and put some Sugar free apricot preserves on it, bake organic sweet potatoes and pack then up for dinner. Carrot, Apple, Orange has a lot of sugars. Add the raw stuff like, celery+other veggs, bring along.He needs some solids. Juicing is work and won't keep up with it. He has to be able to live with it the rest of his life.

[GoRawMe]

Thank you Dan and Don! This conversation was helpful to me. Beautiful honesty . . . WoW. Blessings to you both!

[mishabaikal]

u never really had a life. lol takes fucking ego destruction to admit that one

[misssjuska]

@mishabaikal awesome, isn't it?



[RainbowLogic]

Now that's an Aries - "I go full bore until I hit the wall, dust myself off and go full bore...."

[teceyS3]

for what it's worth~ fill up on salad, then gorge on raw fruit, eat a bunch of deviled eggs~ THEN have donuts or cookies or whatever~ until your body starts to shift~ it WILL shift over about 2-3 months time if you stuff yourself at first on raw foods, as Dan said~ it will change your tastes :)))

[mickymidnight1]

Forgive yourself. Forgive every one. Love yourself. Focus on the here and now. Cultivate gratitude. Practice kindness. Movement and action is wonderful. Clean & tidy your environment, habits & thoughts. Take one step at a time. Be mindful of your positive & negative thoughts. Have faith. Connect with your true self. Drop as many judgments as you can. Breathe. Have a good life. xxx

[teceyS3]

@mickymidnight1: AMEN ! ! ! :)))

[lovebrittney6]

@mickymidnight1 I love this quote so very very much :( SO MUCH :(

[loquedup]

Don, you can do this. i did it.....and so can you.  great vid dan!!!!

[dorull83]

Hey i just started watching your videos and i love them all. specially the ones you are outside full of energy making smoothies. i'm a personal trainer and doing muay thai and mma. i've lost 15kg's to get back into the shape i was in before but now it's hard to continue for another 5kg's. and hey i'm a personal trainer! so i know how to do it. after theese videos i'm going to start on a 2 week raw food diet and see how it is. thank you for all the videos my friend! cheers from Norway

[orthosrich]

Beginners need to make their smoothies sweet or else they will turn their nose up at the thought of drinking it. Use as much fruit as needed to make that smoothie taste good.

[TheSweetPerry]

Dan you are the best :) Love

[Suzanne42]

Seriously Dan, if you have a once-a-month "retreat" somewhere, you'd sell out every time, and it would be so beneficial! If you haven't already, will you please consider this?

[RainbowLogic]

@Suzanne42 And I will help build it and work there

[fdselg]

Don't say...both of you...don't say I have to be honest with you, it sounds like younger not when you say the other things you mean, it's just a bad habit, Don has weak adrenals, Dan is right cut out most of the vegetable go high on fruits and herbs....good luck.

[uffx3]

I currently can t see the video bc a very slow web connection. I will.only refer to the vid's title: please do not ever put the words 'losing weight quickly' together with 'safely and easily'. They just CANT stay in the same sentence. Safe weight loss can only be SLOW. Not only skin has to adjust to the change, but all the inner organs and muscles. And quick weight loss doesnt change your habits so it's ALWAYS backfiring (youll put on those kilos again with a vengeance).People: JUST FAST WALK!

[barbara5956]

I want to get on the track with Don i have been listening to Dan the man for about a year and i have not done what i need to do i have temptation at 5'6 at almost 300 pounds i hate it im big built big bones so people cant beleive i weigh this much...i know it will be worth sheding this weight to be healthy my self...

[gtbatman41]

Hi Don, I too have weighed over 340lbs. and have been overweight most of my life as well and believe me Dan the Man can help you just as he has helped me! Good Luck to you and never stop watching Dan's videos they are very inspirational.

I managed to lose about 120 lbs. since January 2011 solely by watching Dan's videos and believe me I still struggle with my new way of life, but I keep on truckin.

Best of luck to you.

[annakinfree]

You have handled this really well Dan , good work , this guy sounds like a gentle soul doing his best

[americantragedies]

this is really smart.

[LiveFromTheFridge]

Thanks for this wonderful video DTM & Don. Don thanks for sharing your story and opening your life to us. This has touched me deeply.

[616Fitness]

what is gingeblast?? do you make it or buy it and if you do buy it ahouls you buy a certain type so you're not drinking a bad version or one full of sugar or something?

[LiveFromTheFridge]

@616Fitness

Lemon, Ginger blast. It's a juice you can make yourself. Dan has many videos on it. Put all of the following into a juicer. the ingredients are: apples 2 or 3, 1 lemon, 1 piece of ginger (thumb size or slightly smaller), kale I use 3-4 leafs, spinach 1-2 handfulls, celery 2-3, carrots 2-3, if you want more sweetness, add more apples....no sugar. Dan adds a hot pepper in his. Play with the recipe, add in whatever dark leafy greens appeal to you. It's the best drink on earth!

[dotalot11]

Your awesome Dan!

[blade004]

She is 65, so I think her 37 year old son needs to help her through you, Dan the man.

[blade004]

Just ordered a weight loss DVD for mt Mum from you Dan ;). Her blood pressure is high, weight and her cholesterol is too. She had a mild heart attack without knowing 3 months ago.

[AndrewPoletto021]

Dan, the interview you did with me may be really helpful for Don. I won't give the address here (don't want to do a shameless plug), but with your approval, and if Don wants it, I would be more than happy to give him a complimentary link to the mp3. Just let me know (you can email me directly) and we can go from there.  I will not do anything until I hear from you. You're great! Keep up the great work! Your friend, Andrew.

[NicoletteLynnMusic]

Anyone have a link to Don's you tube - I can't find him...

[sistahonamission]

5'6 396.6 lbs .......Thank you Dan.

[RosalindandPearls]

First: Dan you are a loving person and it shows so much in this vid. You have so much talent to talk and love other person in need it is amazing.

Now: Don... You can do it man, MAKE HEALTH YOUR NEW HOBBY ! Embrace it, you are a wonderful lovely voice, for youre you are a great human being, you just get to focuss on health and loving yourself. You deserve the best, Don, the best walk outside without hurting, the best juices, the best in everything. Much LOVE TO YOU Don !

[tillyny]

Wow...this video actually helped to get me motivated again. Thanks Dan!

[3girlscathy]

DAN _ terrific JOB on this GUY -  your so HONEST and on the money -

Cathy Starr *xoxoxoxo

[tbayguy]

Don if you need any help with encouragement feel free to write to me at tbayguy161@gmail.com Being 460 less than 2 years ago I have a good idea what you might be going through. Cheers Rob

[GooseMooseLooseJuice]

Dan is tha fuckin' man

[tbayguy]

You can do it Don: When I started Jan 25th 2010 I could only walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes at 1 mph. Little steps brother, little steps and going vegan or vegatearian is a huge help. I went vegetarian cold turkey Nov 30th 2009 to stop my fast food and pizza addiction and have not had meat since. not even once but drastic measures are needed for guys like you and me to get back to health. I hope you can get on the green smoothie movement, the thicker the better.

[SoulfulVeg]

Good luck Don. My channel makes me more accountable. I have more health support from YouTube than my family and friends. Blessings!

[sistahonamission]

@SoulfulVeg Me too! Well said take care. Peace and blessings!! :)

[tbayguy]

Oh ya stay away from nuts, after dropping all the meat and dairy and other junk foods (I was a pizza and fast food junkie) I found too much comfort in nuts and its so high in fat and calaries its a massive stall to any weight loss. Good luck man and love to Dan

[tbayguy]

I would like to know when all this healthy eating will heal my depression. Im almost to the 210 lbs lost in the past 20 months but cant afford to green juice daily like I want as its so expensive. I know what they guy on the phone is talking about. I was 460 lbs and sick just waiting to die. Its a struggle daily and is a long long road to recovery and I hope he can find the way. I have almost zero support from anyone, I hope he can find a good support structure around him.

[michelinajf]

@tbayguy. Good work on your weight loss. Even though you feel like you have no support you should be proud in yourself for committing and making progress. Well done :)

[tbayguy]

@michelinajf I am the best guy for beating myself up but slowly as I get closer to my goal I am starting to realize what I am doing. I hope Don can find the way as well. I agree with Dan about slow and steady over 2 to 3 years. I do cardio daily, mostly twice daily and weights 3 times a week and that helps with the mindset. Glad Don has joined the YMCA. IF he can afford it a trainer is worth gold for the first 3 or 6 months just to make sure you get to the gym until It becomes a habit

[lisagarza373]

Dan you are a wonderful person. This video helped me pick myself up after the holiday. Thanks to your work, I will never stop reaching for better and better health. Your videos have been a blessing to me. You ROCK!

[SammyBad1]

I got so frikin excited when I saw that this video was 32 minutes long :)

[theenigmaticon3]

lol he always adds "dan mcdonald....the liferegenerator"

[guestaccount26]

Dan, thank you for doing this video. I can relate alot to Don, as a food addict myself.

[dannykirsch]

So basically no oil (including olive oil), no nuts (even raw), no avocados, no meat, no chicken, no fish, no dairy, no eggs and easy on the salt. Feel yourself up by eating mostly starch such as pasta, potatoes, rice and corn. Make fat free garlic and herb sauces in the blender, get a steamer and blend up smoothies in the morning. Eat as much as you like of the good stuff but don't pressure yourself to go cold turkey straight into raw.

[dannykirsch]

Oh! Wrote way more but only the first part of my comment shows up. Anyway was basically saying that a Mcdougall or Esselstyn diet would be easier for now and just as effective especially when it comes to curbing the cravings.

[dannykirsch]

Only had the opportunity to listen to 10 mins or so of the conversation so far but wouldn't it make sense for Don to transition to raw foods by doing a Dr Mcdougall type diet first and possibly just staying on that? I too LOVE food and tried being raw but I'd find myself being hungry in the evenings and when hungry you lower your standards and will eat anything! Starch REALLY feels me up though and stops the cravings. I would suggest to Don going completely vegan but getting most of his calorie

[rzarzarzarza84]

Respect!

[chloegirl1005]

You really should consider opening up a life regeneration retreat to teach people how to mend the mind, body and spirit. I know I would pay to come to it. You are such a light :)

[triwithms]

@chloegirl1005 I actually agree with that. Dan could probably charge people $1000/week + cost of the food, do 5 people at a time, doing that once a month and could totally cover the cost of Dan to pay for a cool retreat pad. ;D

[msfairiebloom]

@chloegirl1005 I would sooooooo sign up for a life regeneration retreat!

[Mafreaky777]

Dan, you're so cute, I think it's fun when you put your calls on the video. Thanks for letting us into your life and see how you help people. :)

[savgal1211]

There is something called the HUnger Scale, you eat at a 3! This way, you are not obsessing about food!! It is the latest and grreatest tool..

[savgal1211]

You are such a BRIGHT Soul!!

[artali1]

god bless don <3

[frnknsns]

Lord, thank you for giving Dan the heart of a teacher and for entrusting Don to his care !!!

[lpsnowchic21]

you can do this Don!

[DesperadoPromotions]

good luck Don. I understand the caregiver issues with your mother. The dementia, the al facility, the house, etc. It's hard and can really make you not even know what you're eating. Take care of yourself. Be kind to yourself.

[akonyc31]

When one is physically addicted to food (sugar and refined carbs) we usually also usually are emotionally dependent on it. The withdrawal is AWFUL! There are withdrawal symptoms for a loooong time, not just the 1st 3 days. I have found that cravings are a signal! It usually means I am hungry - duh! So I feed the cravings with fruits and veggies...and puff, they go away! I found by not starving or enduring a craving I don't cave in to them. We also need support-!

[Kwa17]

Awesome video Dan.Alot of people can relate this.Hope to see more of these videos.

[slthornton1]

Good luck don u can do it

[kelvinyany]

how do people just let their weight go to 500+ lbs. So sad

[rmachuca1981]

@kelvinyany they stop caring about themselves

[teceyS3]

@kelvinyany: people don't "just let their weight go"~

a combination of wrong food choices, depression, and a vicious cycle that either the person creates or it just happens in their life~ have a little charity, for goodness sake~ pray for people like him to find the way out of the obesity maze~ that's what Dan is trying to do~ help people get out of this terrible maze ! ! !

[healthseeker058]

@kelvinyany I can almost " ALMOST" bet my life on it - that if you ask ANYONE with a weight problem " how" why when they got to be overweight its not such a simple answer and I bet they will also tell you they don't like being that way. I commend Don for speaking openly its very hard - I send loving thoughts to Don all . I also want to thank Dan for being such a blessing to so many. I think chloegirl has a wonderful idea and I could see so many clients in line

hugs & kisses

Gia

[val154]

Don best of luck to you brother! :)

[susiemouse]

Dan, this topic is so right on point with my struggles. Thank you!

[samkurz]

I am losing my family left and right from drugs and food. I sometimes

give up and say I want to die too because I have no support, so I go

back into depression. I'm now starting a journal on my moods and tracking

them, with the food I eat. Hope this helps Thanks Dan for helping people

[artfulvegan]

good luck don.

[tommyrazzleisback]

@PoshPatootie I agree, sorry if I came across that way. I do like Dans channel, but he goes on a bit sometimes.....

I've had my own addiction issues so I fully understand where you're coming from. x

[savvyjulip]

Anyone else having a hard time finding ddadmire's channel? It doesn't come up in a regular search.

[KITTYKITTYBO]

@savvyjulip Dan has a link in the description that worked for me-

[AapoR]

DTM....hah theres a gay bar called DTM in finland..(Dont Tell Mama) :D anyway,peace man. Keep at it !

[DVandM]

More people need to listen to your "hot air" Dan! Just keep blowing it....

[ThePennyhaz]

All of this makes so much sense to me, Don I wish you every success, for me the issue isnt food at all.

One main problem for me with green juices is that they go threw me so fast, sometimes I only just make it to the bathroom, and thats not something I can cope with whilst working, any suggestions welcome.

I recently had surgery,my wounds are healing, but failure is comfortable for me

[ThirdeyedRob]

You're amazing thank you so much, BEYOND appreciation itself :) I've had fun with you in my dreams, just BEing who we truly are, in absolute JOY :)

[cmphillips1968]

What a great video Dan, thank you so much for sharing this with us, you are so postive and an inspiration to me, thank you again so much from Australia.....

[monkeysdemons]

Hey Don- best of luck to you brother- you can do it. Maybe consider the master cleanse to get you started? Just a thought. Thanks for sharing yourself for this video

[TheBellaCph]

He sounds like a great guy. All the best.

Love!

[monkeysdemons]

Dan, do as you please- its your channel. keep it going!

[tommyrazzleisback]

@PoshPatootie Certainly. As with all of his videos, the content could be summarised and shortened considerably. A lot of hot air.

[dkbrinlee]

thank you for being very positive dan. keep up the good work!

[MrBMX98]

you cant blend kebabs with vegetables

[MrBMX98]

how is the function of your heart?

does it still beat?

[liferegenerator]

I really enjoy my job. It is very rewarding. Thanks for the thumbs up and the positive feedback everyone. Peace... DTM :D

[PoKerFaceN1]

you never really had a life lol bless him . 

[POC777]

I just need to detox!

[Sabrinatheglamorous]

We love Dan the way he is and talks

[ddAdmire]

Thanks for the call last night dan!



[tommyrazzleisback]

32 mins? could have been done in 2 if you're honest.....

[Smileeen]

@tommyrazzleisback oh jeez...you're complaining about 32 minutes?
