How one man lost 400 lbs. without surgery

[Phobosdeimos1]

Im a fat fuck, i used to be real slim with chiseled cheekbones and jude law looks getting any girl, now 4 stone heavier i dont get ANY attention. Fucking sucks, shows how shallow people are. Wish i could lose the weight. I just cant stop eating. HELP

[hungmg]

David smith is at 490 pounds now! He confirmed on his facebook page! He's gaining it all back slowly!

[Gilby62468]

dude... wow... that is incredible, gives hope to us who dont think we can lose weight.

[txipiron2]

geez! has anyone ever tried the Acuspeed 24 Diet (do a google search)? I hear some awesome chatter about it and my work buddy burned a ton of fat trying it.

[SmallArachnidBlogger]

This is truly amazing. You see, I want my Auntie (shes probably 400 pounds) to loose weight like this.

[yolondaization]

I just love this story!!!

[hoolio35]

ok so im 15. 6 ft tall and 240 pounds. i need to lose about 30 pounds. how can i find out what davids diet plan was?

[WatchMeLoseCarbs]

@hoolio35 Im the same as you,but 30 pounds lighter and TRUST me Its not enough :( Im still really depressed and Im sure that for the both of us,145 pounds or so will only be enough

[hoolio35]

@WatchMeLoseCarbs well i got a big build so most of my weight isnt fat but i do need to lose some.

[WatchMeLoseCarbs]

@hoolio35 Ah okay,good for you then.

[caitc6210]

Holla! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (search on google)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy lost tons of weight with it.

[SPkx1]

Haha, look at the tags. So simple and concise

[gamechickin]

Why would you say that.

[redneck500]

@Piranha180x I'm sorry I will have to politely disagree. (Also notice that I am not going to call your comment stupid and uniformed) Watch Steve Torano's weight loss vlogs. He's a very successful weight loss trainer, and has said time and time again that its not what,when,or where you eat, its how much you eat. You should try to realize that if you don't agree with something that someone is saying, that does not automatically make them stupid.

[mkiller30]

fuck i m fucking overwelmed how he was that fat and ugly and he got so good looking wtf i m happy for u dude!

[scagish]

good job man :)

[chrisknows]

Fuck this. I spend my whole life trying to stay lean with no recognition, while this guy spends his whole life eating enough to end poverty in West Africa, spends 2 years eating right, and he becomes a national hero?

[nicky120791]

@chrisknows hahahahaha, sucks to be you

[A550RGY]

@chrisknows Maybe it has something to do with you having the personality of a frog with crotch rot.

[haroldfangbar]

America just keeps trying to think of new ways to lose weight with out exercise. Just do what this man does and lose weight with diet and exercise.

[NeoZen888]

I was really touched when I saw this on TV. But, the thing that concerns me is the surgery. Shall we reshape the nation under the knife? Every surgery has some type of trauma to the psyche. Most people have never heard of the Dr. Hay protocol of raw food, food combining and juice fasting. As you lose weight the skin NATURALLY shrinks with you this way. Follow my channel back to my blog for more info.

[hiphophead909]

holy fuckin shit. Crazy.

[pokertime1]

Can you give me the 6 meals you ate daily?? sure would like to know what to eat so I can lose weoght like you did..

[crazy4sian]

@pokertime1 Working out helped a lot too.

[redneck500]

@pokertime1 you can eat 1 meal or 6 meals in a day. The bottom line to loosing weight is calories in vs energy burned. You have to eat less than your body burns. Try sticking to around 1600 cals a day. If you do that, and don't cheat, you will loose weight.

[EnsignN7]

Most people don't realize how big of a difference in just a choice to drink water instead of soda really is.

[bajablastin]

I love this guy!! :) His story is so inspiring and he is such a sweet person!

[jessieks7]

omg he looks fucking hot now

[vitusja29]

Malacis!!!

[zigzag024]

david found out that fat people are an eye sore on the public,and I have so many fat chicks in my town that it's hard to find a skinny girl anywhere here.

[minion734]

Diet and exercise isn't the hard part. Anyone can do that for a day, week, or month.

The hard part is maintaining it for years and turning it into your lifestyle.

[SychoticClown]

Sad music on 0:28, LOL. So lame and overly dramatic.

[jwilk0525]

this is proof to how people are lazy.. not him but just americans in general. people make up excuses to why they cant do this and do that and how they wanna lose weight but cant cause of "baby fat" or they dont have time and all that stuff... all it takes is will power and a little sweat. maybe some pain here and there. im just tired of fat ass americans. i love america and ill defend her till i die. but americans are just gettin fat and blaming everyone but themselves. good job man.. nice work

[MohammeddKhan]

I want an update man.

[fuchalo]

dont do any extreme diets guys if you are trying to lose weight because the weirder the diet is the more likely it is that you will gain all the weight back. ive lost 60 pounds without what most people consider dieting, i just make sure i dont eat more than like 1500 calories in a day and excercise 4 to 5 times a week and barely eat fast food or have soda

[korvix]

His trainer is an amazing person for believing in him

[3l3phantz]

good genes

[armyboy24]

chris powell is just cashing on in David smith....so obvious....

[CaptainCocaine]

@armyboy24 And he deserves EVERY penny of it. I'm sure David Smith doesn't mind.

[janek7135226]

was he molested when he was younger

[CanadianCatastrophes]

@janek7135226 were you?

[TaintedWitch666]

Wow!

[AirSn1per]

good modivator Good job david!!!

[Gideon359]

A pizza a day will keep the Doctor away. Give me the heads up if you agree

[RsTeamK0]

@Gideon359 Shut up attention whore.

[Gideon359]

@RsTeamK0 ur mother is a whore

[Marienixza]

I wan cry! I'm determined to lose 100 bloody pounds!

[Aramakie98]

Woot! Woot! go David!

[Lanie123Lanie123]

Omg. Thats is amazing.

[uglyestprince69]

You're my Inspiration Mann !

[sangelsXDDDDD]

Thats not a true 100%. After person lost weight, skin fight back. Then person start looking like a plastic package, because of much skin, which never can dissapear from persons body! After big weight lost, you have to do an operation to cut your skin off! believe, i have seen that :)

[sk8p3rson7]

@sangelsXDDDDD yeah agreed you get access fat

[HXRGuitar]

this Is truly inspiring, If this guy can do It ANYONE CAN DO IT.

NO FUCKING EXCUSE so you FAT people stop complaining and get your ass up and do it. I'm not hulk either or have abs of steel I'm average and far away from obese

[queenie1972]

OMG thats fantastic. Well done David :)

[crazy4sian]

As it turns out, obesity is NOT a disease!

[Desi4evah]

where do i find people like chris? how much do they charge?? i can't afford instructor fees all that much.

any help here?

[aure232]

good thin..on case you can afford surgery. If not...well...it is the path from fat to the hideous.

[lrn2playnub]

diet and exercise.

amazing right

[chinesewriting]

idk if this is really or not but it can b done. i learned that the more u weigh the more weight you can lose. b/c when you're overweight wen u begin 2 diet & wrk out your body goes into overdrive! i'm dwn 21lbs rite now!!

[111hypo111]

it is more easy to loose weight while you weigh more.

[chinesewriting]

yea i c that now through wrkn out.

i'm havin the same probably that he's havin w/ all the lose skin. mine is not as bad tho b/c my highest was 307.

[111hypo111]

yeah my weight is 290-300, thats when i started to loose weight and get serious about it lol.

[chinesewriting]

heck yea!

sucks we waited to get to this point.

[Kingtunice]

nothing like a good personal trainer. thats why i want to be one....

[ssjr87108]

@Kingtunice he still had to do the work. a wonderful effort

[Kingtunice]

@ssjr87108 i never said he didn't

[Hsurc2]

thats amazing

[pKomy]

thats amazing!

[BananoPower2]

Wow.. That's amazing.. I'm extremely happy for him.

[TheArgonian13]

I am happy for this guy. =)

[M1710]

His achievement is hard to beat.

Well done of him really.

[cheyennebritbrat]

he looks amazing, well done him and his determination

[interneti]

I don't think his trainer, Chris, is a good person. He's very shallow. David should not meet women this way.

[confidentgal]

this motherfucker is still ugly and losing the weight didnt help much hahahahah.

[autumnoftw]

i dont think so... he's very good looking. and he could probably kick your ass...

[handbrakemaster]

youre probably just jealous... hes good looking and i am so amazed!

[imanerd36]

Same with your mom.

[MovieDivas]

Hes so hot....

[badtown88]

HOLY FUCK.

[ThePattySCH]

waooooo ,,, todo lo q el sobrepeso t quita:::

[Havatje]

no, he lost 185 kg!!

[frikie94]

Did he died?

[handbrakemaster]

wtf... he isnt dead moron

[cb4allstar4]

630-400=230lbs.

That means he must have been tank

[MovieDivas]

he was 650 and lost 400.

[cb4allstar4]

250 pounds? That's still pretty heavy, he either must be tall, have some fat left, or be really muscular

[handbrakemaster]

very muscular i think.. also if hes about 6ft tall... thats fine

[handbrakemaster]

i bet hes like 6ft something, and muscular

[falkna]

fat americans YUK YUK

[JadedAurora]

We're not all heavy, over weight, or obese!

What a generalization to make... =_=

[StormieDuffy]

disgusting, judgmental idiot

[Zenitune]

He's so hott.... And has an amazing smile. aah.

[TheGreatest1947]

i can do that :D

[tzbnks]

no homo but that dude's a stud. mad props!

[dave54303]

its the guy from mtv

[destineymb]

omg he is like hot

[jongkongmas]

what a tremendous change...hope that I could share some of my photos here...Before I was 135kg now I'm 115kg and drops 0.9kg/week...my goal is under 100kg...wish me luck!

[buialokk]

oh david...you are gorgeous!!

[handbrakemaster]

wow i know. so impressive. and he is... HOT! wow!!!

[SexyPinkLipstick]

awesome!

[ZozeXxX]

Amazing..

[smellsliketeen79]

Hahah he's gorgeous, I need to lose about 100 lbs..he's an inspiration

[raerae1281]

I know, I was just thinking what an inspiration he is. I hae to lose about 200 lbs and I'm just starting out. I'll think about David when I'm feeling like I can't go on.

[pixiesiren]

Thats simply incredible.

[khalilahinjapan]

something really strange happened from 1:22 to 1:25 to his face...

[christinagt37]

like what?

[whatsupfizznugget]

woah i saw it....weird.

[SmokeAnOunce]

AND YOUR NAME IS "LINCOLN".... wow your stupid

[photon1138]

Lesson learned -- an individual chooses, through their actions, to put on the weight -- chooses what to put into his mouth... an individual chooses to change his behavior, to act instead of react.

[hotonedotcom]

Mmm Chris Powell. My *future husband* haha dreams

[green500]

the greatest story l have ever heard

[Ashgale123]

fair play to this man, that's one hell of an achievement!

[jsnell126]

he definitely had surgery somehwere in there to remove all that extra skin

[McLovin081]

yea he did have surgery.. to remove it... but the loss of weight was natural

[Vernitech]

Thats something different than having all the fat removed. This man deserves props

[JessieArmy]

He is such a handsome guy.

I went fro 290 to 165 in 4 months just working out and watching my food intake.

I went from being invisible to people to being the most popular girl anywhere I went... and I ended up joining the Army.

It is not impossible to lose weight. You just have to go for it.

[shacurington]

he did have loose skin before, and had surgery to remove it. there's another video lurking on youtube that shows him when he first lost 370 lbs, and was looking for a surgeon.

[jinjerly]

The video implied that Chris provided nutritional guidance and counseling for free. If so, I can't think of a better gift to give someone.

[nickz210]

u do know he has a alot of loose skin

[dennisbergkamp17]

See, it's possible to lose all that weight, but a lot of people lack the will power and dedication.

[jinnyboy8]

you're so correct. all it takes is mind over matter

[fackothorsson]

It's quite a bit of a problem... Erm... I've seen films where they defend that state, where they show how correct it is to be 'a bit overweight'... being obese or fat isn't right, it's not good for anything.

[fackothorsson]

I can understand complaints against discrimination, but not employing a person who's fat isn't discriminating, it's quite clear, not only are they not able to do certain tasks (if not most of the tasks) but also (and this is quite a fact) they have anxiety issues that mess with the rest of whatever job there is for them... Being overweight is a desease, and it should be treated jsut as you treat excessive neurosis...

[xxwes997xx]

fuck you dumbass there are fat people who can bench 2x what you can and squat 3x. just cuz your fat doesnt mean yo uare weak and slow you know nothing. how about i discriminate on you for having blue eyes. or brown hair. and use steriotypes to make you worthless.

[ceramicheart150]

Wow that is amazing, that's so exciting to see that through hard work and extreme dedication and will power that they worked together to save his life. Great!!

[Pimp4theworld]

sneaking suspicion your christian.. lol

[ceramicheart150]

What did I say that would make you assume that?

[Korosu687]

WoW see you americans can loose weights its getting off your ASSES!

[pandahut101]

you're too cool for the internet

[Korosu687]

thank you!

[Davidmac08]

And just where are you from? *gets ready to laugh*

[Korosu687]

italy...hahahaha...i laughed your turn

[Leinieslightman]

unreal bro. good work

[KittyKarryAll]

Wow amazing!

[Eehcgnil]

Incredible!!!!! A whole another person!!!

[keev1989]

damn! =) Impossible is nothing people..

[AWickedMind]

Wow, that's incredible.

[drhustla2c]

ii thought ii was bad.. 15..170 pounds

[RetroNun]

That's not bad, but it could get worse. Just work on maintaining that weight if you're happy with it. You can be healthy at 170, just make sure you get lotsa exercise and eat healthy.

[KV1412]

Hey man, i was 13 and 230 but now 15 and 180 but its more of the muscle tone that counts rather then what the actual weight is

[khsendlove]

he is so hot

[superspeicalawesome]

I am hypothyroid, which means my metabolism, well, I don't have one. I have to take medication everyday, and I will take it until I die. I only gained 20 pounds because of it and I have lost 16 of it. When you take the medicine, it fixes your thyroid, so it's like you don't have a problem. That is not excuse not to lose weight. I walk 3 miles a day and eat 1,000-1,200 calories a day. I plan on losing a lot more.

My thyroid problem was REALLY bad too. Don't makes excuses, it is pointless.

[zachy3621]

no metabolism i have a really high metabolism

[superspeicalawesome]

O.k. that's good for you

[mugz28sc]

he looks absolutely fantastic. good for him

[mitsosfantasia]

GOOD instead of complaining about his "thyroid" and because of "stress" he did it!

[ashoftomorrow]

there are alot of people that actually truly do have thyroid problems. you couldn't possibly understand how debilitating serious thyroid problems can be, so please shut your mouth.

[mitsosfantasia]

10% and less of overweight people. dont give me that shit.

[angiebaratta]

He's really cute now!

[NightsAngels]

Way to go!!! I am so proud of that guy!!! That's so wanderful!

[CHUNKO1232123]

Wow, thatis one hell of a story. I am obese, but watching this have given me hope, as it should to anyone, not just in weight loss.

[ar2022]

congrats!

[pineappleupside]

He is awesome! He did such an awesome job!

His trainer is also great.

[mrsocko551]

lol "end of the day mega meal"

[zlada]

his trainer was hot

[LovelyLabrys]

Unfortunately once the skin has stretched so far it loses its elasticity, and ability to tighten. However, the best way to minimise loose skin is to lose the weight slowly. This guy was losing up to 10 pounds a week. The skin has no chance of recovery when that amount of fat is disappearing from inside it every week. Slow steady weight loss and toning exercise is the best way. Swimming is great.

[greenhulk87]

how do we loss weight without having to worry about loose skin..?? anyone?

[nonsoville]

I would love to buy this dude a beer. Way to go!

[coolcats95661]

THIS IS JUST A TRUE CORAGOUS ACT AND AMAZING TRIUMPH:xD MY FRIEND IS IN THE SAME PATH RIGHT NOW HE IS AROUND 420 POUNDS i WISH i COULD HELP MY FRIEND IN THIS SITUATION? I FEEL HE IS A destitute

person>> help please thanx guys. Happy holidays and merry xmas:xd

[wallavia]

I have a dream.. to complete what he did. I'm going to the gym everyday, working out.. just need to change my diet a little:P

[iLoveTyrande]

Cool man,i just saw this in the newspaper and i was amazed i wanted to see more!so Thanks alot for the video, this guy is amazing and very lucky

[careersmart]

That was very inspiring! I'm actually headed to the gym right now and have no excuses for not working out. The two biggest words in this story are faith and commitment. May the Lord Jesus richly bless you David.
