00:00:17,375 --> 00:00:20,250
(slow piano music)
4
00:00:34,625 --> 00:00:37,750
- When you're overweight,
when you're the fat guy,
5
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:38,959
you know you are but you live in
6
00:00:38,959 --> 00:00:41,625
this sort of self-imposed denial.
7
00:00:41,625 --> 00:00:43,834
You look at yourself in
the mirror and you think,
8
00:00:43,834 --> 00:00:46,250
"How did I let myself get to this point?
9
00:00:46,250 --> 00:00:49,375
"I don't live who I've
become, this isn't who I am,
10
00:00:49,375 --> 00:00:51,083
"I'm living an unfulfilled life
11
00:00:51,083 --> 00:00:54,667
"and I'm watching my life's
dreams just fade away."
12
00:00:54,667 --> 00:00:57,125
Then, you finally reach that moment
13
00:00:57,125 --> 00:00:59,583
when you're ready to take control,
14
00:00:59,583 --> 00:01:03,750
and that's when you know
it's time to make a change.
15
00:01:05,792 --> 00:01:07,500
My name is Kenny Saylors.
16
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,500
I'm 32 years old and I'm obese,
17
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:12,959
but all of that is about to change.
18
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,667
I'm about to do something that
many would consider extreme.
19
00:01:17,667 --> 00:01:19,166
For the next 40 days,
20
00:01:19,166 --> 00:01:23,333
I'm going to fast on
absolutely nothing but water.
21
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:27,208
(slow piano music)
22
00:01:30,417 --> 00:01:31,834
- Very concerned about your health.
23
00:01:31,834 --> 00:01:34,667
Your body really isn't meant to do that.
24
00:01:34,667 --> 00:01:37,583
(slow piano music)
25
00:01:42,417 --> 00:01:44,041
- I think that's absurd.
26
00:01:44,041 --> 00:01:45,625
- I don't think it's possible.
27
00:01:45,625 --> 00:01:48,542
(slow piano music)
28
00:01:54,583 --> 00:01:57,417
- I'm sure it's not
healthy, but you know what?
29
00:01:57,417 --> 00:01:58,875
Probably living in Los Angeles
30
00:01:58,875 --> 00:02:00,875
where we are right now's
not too healthy. (laughing)
31
00:02:00,875 --> 00:02:03,792
(slow piano music)
32
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:10,834
- I think that's ridiculous.
33
00:02:10,834 --> 00:02:13,542
He's gotta have vitamins,
he's gotta have nutrition.
34
00:02:13,542 --> 00:02:16,000
It's something that's not healthy for him.
35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,834
In the long run could come back
to haunt him, I don't know.
36
00:02:18,834 --> 00:02:21,750
(slow piano music)
37
00:02:25,834 --> 00:02:27,333
- I think he'll--
38
00:02:27,333 --> 00:02:29,959
- Pass out.
- Become sick, anorexic.
39
00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:32,000
You get your energy from food.
40
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,500
- I think he would die.
41
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:36,417
(slow piano music)
42
00:02:40,542 --> 00:02:43,250
(ducks quacking)
43
00:02:44,750 --> 00:02:46,500
- [Man] So, you're chugging carrot juice?
44
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:48,000
- Yeah.
- That's disgusting.
45
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:48,875
- [Kenny] Carrot juice
is good, man, holy crap.
46
00:02:48,875 --> 00:02:50,125
- [Woman] It's not disgusting.
47
00:02:50,125 --> 00:02:51,583
Let him get a taste of that juice.
48
00:02:51,583 --> 00:02:52,417
- [Kenny] You gotta taste it.
49
00:02:52,417 --> 00:02:53,750
I'm gonna make him taste carrot juice.
50
00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:55,625
- [Man] I've had the
SoBe carrot orange stuff.
51
00:02:55,625 --> 00:02:57,709
- Yeah, but it's not the
same, it's not real, man.
52
00:02:57,709 --> 00:03:01,834
This stuff is, really
fresh carrot juice is like,
53
00:03:01,834 --> 00:03:02,625
it's like drinking--
54
00:03:02,625 --> 00:03:03,542
- [Man] I've never had it, so--
55
00:03:03,542 --> 00:03:04,792
- Drinking life.
56
00:03:04,792 --> 00:03:07,709
(blender whirring)
57
00:03:08,625 --> 00:03:09,917
Nice and quiet.
58
00:03:11,834 --> 00:03:13,959
I wouldn't suggest juicing
in the middle of the night,
59
00:03:13,959 --> 00:03:15,375
(laughs)
60
00:03:15,375 --> 00:03:17,333
unless you hate your neighbors.
61
00:03:17,333 --> 00:03:22,250
I'll drink this first
before I clean up this crap.
62
00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:24,667
You have to drink, you
have to drink carrot juice,
63
00:03:24,667 --> 00:03:26,250
or any juice for that matter, fast
64
00:03:26,250 --> 00:03:30,333
because juices are living,
they're living things.
65
00:03:31,333 --> 00:03:33,458
So, whenever you juice,
66
00:03:33,458 --> 00:03:35,875
you have to drink within two minutes
67
00:03:35,875 --> 00:03:37,667
in order to get the full maximum effect
68
00:03:37,667 --> 00:03:41,166
of the vitamins and nutrients
that go into the body.
69
00:03:41,166 --> 00:03:45,333
Mmm, this coming from an
overweight fat guy (laughs)
70
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,208
who knows so much about nutrition.
71
00:03:48,208 --> 00:03:49,000
(plane engine roaring)
72
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,750
Okay, first things first.
73
00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:54,041
Before I decided to do the
fast, I wanted to go back home,
74
00:03:54,041 --> 00:03:55,917
see my family, visit some old friends
75
00:03:55,917 --> 00:03:57,834
in my hometown of Greenville, Texas.
76
00:03:57,834 --> 00:03:59,166
(light country music)
77
00:03:59,166 --> 00:04:01,750
Greenville's your typical Small Town USA.
78
00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:04,417
It's definitely a far
cry from Los Angeles.
79
00:04:04,417 --> 00:04:06,625
Growing up, I went to
Greenville High School,
80
00:04:06,625 --> 00:04:08,041
attended Greenville First Assembly,
81
00:04:08,041 --> 00:04:09,375
worked at Greenville Hardware
82
00:04:09,375 --> 00:04:11,125
and ate lots of Greenville food.
83
00:04:11,125 --> 00:04:12,750
Is this me right here?
84
00:04:12,750 --> 00:04:14,250
- Oh, yeah, that's you.
85
00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:16,542
I think that's you,
I'm pretty sure though.
86
00:04:16,542 --> 00:04:17,917
Yeah, it is.
87
00:04:17,917 --> 00:04:21,166
And this is Kenny when he was in the band
88
00:04:21,166 --> 00:04:25,333
and he was real thin then
and he played the trumpet.
89
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:30,333
(pulsing industrial music)
90
00:04:33,291 --> 00:04:36,208
(upbeat pop music)
91
00:04:42,417 --> 00:04:44,875
When he was growing up, he was active
92
00:04:44,875 --> 00:04:47,166
from the time he started walking.
93
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:50,583
He liked sports and he
liked to play football.
94
00:04:50,583 --> 00:04:52,917
And he never met a stranger;
95
00:04:53,917 --> 00:04:57,000
he was always quite
friendly with everybody.
96
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,500
When he was in high
school, he was very thin,
97
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:02,250
almost frail looking.
98
00:05:02,250 --> 00:05:05,792
I never thought that he would
ever gain this much weight.
99
00:05:05,792 --> 00:05:07,375
So, when he started gaining weight,
100
00:05:07,375 --> 00:05:09,375
then he started this coughing.
101
00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:11,625
(coughing)
102
00:05:12,709 --> 00:05:13,542
- Okay.
103
00:05:13,542 --> 00:05:16,458
(upbeat pop music)
104
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:21,458
- When Kenny said that he
was gonna go on a long fast,
105
00:05:21,458 --> 00:05:24,625
I wasn't sure if he could do it,
106
00:05:24,625 --> 00:05:27,959
but I know that because
he has determination
107
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:29,875
that he probably could.
108
00:05:30,959 --> 00:05:32,959
(light orchestral music)
109
00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:35,959
- [Kenny] So, what is fasting
and why did I choose this?
110
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:36,959
Simple.
(tape reel spinning)
111
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:38,750
Fasting has been the most proven way
112
00:05:38,750 --> 00:05:41,500
to detox the body and
give it time to heal.
113
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:43,750
Throughout history, people of many faiths,
114
00:05:43,750 --> 00:05:46,041
including Christianity, Judaism, Islam,
115
00:05:46,041 --> 00:05:48,500
and most Eastern religions,
have used fasting
116
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:51,083
as a healing process for
spiritual purification
117
00:05:51,083 --> 00:05:53,500
and communion with God.
118
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:54,875
Why 40 days?
119
00:05:54,875 --> 00:05:57,166
Well, 40 seems to be a
number that is repeated
120
00:05:57,166 --> 00:06:00,083
in most of the holy books,
and specifically in the Bible,
121
00:06:00,083 --> 00:06:01,834
over and over and over,
122
00:06:01,834 --> 00:06:05,417
so it sounded like the
right number for me.
123
00:06:05,417 --> 00:06:07,458
I knew the smart thing
to do before I started
124
00:06:07,458 --> 00:06:09,792
was to get a medical team on board.
125
00:06:09,792 --> 00:06:12,250
So, I did my research and
called lots of doctors,
126
00:06:12,250 --> 00:06:14,500
but none of them wanted to take me on.
127
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:16,625
Finally, I found a place in Marina del Rey
128
00:06:16,625 --> 00:06:19,125
that agreed to meet with me.
129
00:06:19,125 --> 00:06:20,000
- Come on in, Kenny.
130
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,875
Well, it sounds like you've got
131
00:06:20,875 --> 00:06:24,709
some interesting life-changing plans.
132
00:06:24,709 --> 00:06:26,000
I wanna hear more about it.
133
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,959
- Yeah, I'm obviously overweight,
134
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:30,583
so I've been doing
research over the past year
135
00:06:30,583 --> 00:06:33,291
about ways to really reform my health
136
00:06:33,291 --> 00:06:36,333
and to try to get me back
on track and everything.
137
00:06:36,333 --> 00:06:38,000
And then, that's when
I came across fasting,
138
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,625
just a water fast.
139
00:06:39,625 --> 00:06:40,709
- And so--
- A water fast?
140
00:06:40,709 --> 00:06:43,417
- Yes, a water fast for 40 days. (laughs)
141
00:06:43,417 --> 00:06:45,542
- Wait, you're talking about
doing a water fast for 40 days?
142
00:06:45,542 --> 00:06:46,375
- [Kenny] Mm-hmm, yeah.
143
00:06:46,375 --> 00:06:48,542
- That's very extreme, Kenny.
144
00:06:48,542 --> 00:06:49,792
A water fast for 40 days
145
00:06:49,792 --> 00:06:53,250
is probably the most extreme
type of fasting you can do
146
00:06:53,250 --> 00:06:55,041
and for the longest amount of time
147
00:06:55,041 --> 00:06:57,583
that anyone should possibly attempt it.
148
00:06:57,583 --> 00:06:59,959
And you shouldn't attempt it
without medical supervision,
149
00:06:59,959 --> 00:07:01,458
I can tell you that straight off.
150
00:07:01,458 --> 00:07:03,208
- The big thing for
me, the passion for me,
151
00:07:03,208 --> 00:07:05,792
is about the obesity
epidemic in the world.
152
00:07:05,792 --> 00:07:08,291
In my research, that's what
really stood out to me.
153
00:07:08,291 --> 00:07:10,000
The numbers are astronomical, I mean,
154
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,792
about how many people are overweight.
155
00:07:11,792 --> 00:07:13,250
(car brakes skidding)
156
00:07:13,250 --> 00:07:16,166
According to the CDC, the
number of morbidly obese
157
00:07:16,166 --> 00:07:18,250
across the United States has skyrocketed
158
00:07:18,250 --> 00:07:20,959
to over 30% in the last 20 years.
159
00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:23,000
Not only that, but what is obesity
160
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,083
costing you and me, the taxpayer?
161
00:07:25,083 --> 00:07:26,542
Well, if you break down the costs
162
00:07:26,542 --> 00:07:29,041
and compare them to other
taxpayer expenditures,
163
00:07:29,041 --> 00:07:31,500
you can see it adds up really quickly.
164
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:33,250
To fly our president for one year
165
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:36,709
in Air Force One costs us $500 million.
166
00:07:36,709 --> 00:07:38,792
All costs associated with illegal aliens
167
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:43,291
in California alone costs
taxpayers $9 billion a year.
168
00:07:43,291 --> 00:07:44,709
If you add up the money spent
169
00:07:44,709 --> 00:07:46,709
on the No Child Left Behind policy,
170
00:07:46,709 --> 00:07:49,917
it's a staggering $23 billion a year.
171
00:07:49,917 --> 00:07:52,709
And all costs associated
with drunk driving,
172
00:07:52,709 --> 00:07:55,208
a whopping $24 billion a year.
173
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:58,000
So, how does obesity
stand up to these numbers?
174
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,542
Well, you add up
increased insurance costs,
175
00:08:00,542 --> 00:08:02,709
loss of work due to obesity conditions,
176
00:08:02,709 --> 00:08:05,041
increased Medicare and Medicaid costs,
177
00:08:05,041 --> 00:08:07,792
it comes to $80 billion a year.
178
00:08:07,792 --> 00:08:11,291
That's more than all of those
other programs combined.
179
00:08:11,291 --> 00:08:12,709
Let's do some math here.
180
00:08:12,709 --> 00:08:16,625
Divide $80 billion by the
total US population in 2008
181
00:08:16,625 --> 00:08:17,875
and what do you get?
182
00:08:17,875 --> 00:08:22,542
Obesity is costing $263
for every American citizen;
183
00:08:22,542 --> 00:08:24,792
that's man, woman, and child.
184
00:08:24,792 --> 00:08:26,834
So, no matter what size you happen to be,
185
00:08:26,834 --> 00:08:29,041
it's still coming outta your pocket.
186
00:08:29,041 --> 00:08:30,166
So, that made me start thinking,
187
00:08:30,166 --> 00:08:32,333
"Wow, I'm one of those statistics."
188
00:08:32,333 --> 00:08:34,583
- Well, let me say this at least, Kenny,
189
00:08:34,583 --> 00:08:37,625
because I applaud you for
at least taking some steps
190
00:08:37,625 --> 00:08:39,250
to improve your health.
191
00:08:39,250 --> 00:08:40,500
The number one thing, though,
192
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:43,000
should be you improving your health.
193
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,542
We can help you get well,
194
00:08:44,542 --> 00:08:46,083
but let us do it in the right way.
195
00:08:46,083 --> 00:08:46,959
- [Kenny] Okay.
196
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:49,917
- Number one is you need
to get medical supervision.
197
00:08:49,917 --> 00:08:50,709
- Yeah.
198
00:08:50,709 --> 00:08:52,208
- The great thing about
Lumeria: The Healing Spa
199
00:08:52,208 --> 00:08:54,834
is we can offer full-service.
200
00:08:54,834 --> 00:08:57,000
So, we're gonna introduce
you to the medical doctor
201
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,500
that we have on staff here,
202
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:01,625
You're gonna need to get a
full physical, some blood work,
203
00:09:01,625 --> 00:09:03,500
make sure you're healthy enough
204
00:09:03,500 --> 00:09:05,500
to do something like an extreme fast.
205
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:07,750
On a personal note,
206
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:09,250
you should be really proud
of what you're doing.
207
00:09:09,250 --> 00:09:10,750
I mean, it's so difficult.
208
00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:15,083
I don't know anyone other
than some very serious
209
00:09:15,083 --> 00:09:17,583
medical practitioners who've
attempted what you're doing.
210
00:09:17,583 --> 00:09:21,500
What you're doing is difficult
and you should be very proud
211
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:23,458
that you're taking such
a step to get healthy.
212
00:09:23,458 --> 00:09:25,250
- I know it is extreme,
213
00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:26,750
but sometimes you have to go to extremes
214
00:09:26,750 --> 00:09:29,000
to be extremely healthy, you know?
215
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,166
("There's More Than That to
Being Poor" by Hussalonia)
216
00:09:34,083 --> 00:09:35,500
I think they're on board.
217
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:37,250
That's gonna be great.
218
00:09:37,250 --> 00:09:39,917
In order to get through this,
I'm going to need some help.
219
00:09:39,917 --> 00:09:42,125
I'll need my friends around
me to keep me motivated
220
00:09:42,125 --> 00:09:44,667
and to get me through
my moments of weakness.
221
00:09:44,667 --> 00:09:45,834
I'll be staying part of the time
222
00:09:45,834 --> 00:09:47,917
with my good friends, Paul and Sonia.
223
00:09:47,917 --> 00:09:49,625
Sonia's been wanting to fast for a while
224
00:09:49,625 --> 00:09:51,709
and thought now would be
the perfect time to do it,
225
00:09:51,709 --> 00:09:54,041
and I couldn't agree more.
226
00:09:54,041 --> 00:09:56,542
Paul, he'll continue to
eat a lot of tempting food
227
00:09:56,542 --> 00:09:58,000
and stay magically skinny, which,
228
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,208
honestly, really isn't fair.
229
00:10:00,208 --> 00:10:02,291
I'll also be staying with
some of my other friends,
230
00:10:02,291 --> 00:10:03,625
Jeremy and Alaina.
231
00:10:03,625 --> 00:10:04,875
I've known them for a long time
232
00:10:04,875 --> 00:10:08,333
and I know they can put up
with my ridiculous shenanigans.
233
00:10:08,333 --> 00:10:09,917
This is John and Matt.
234
00:10:09,917 --> 00:10:12,333
They're helping me document
this entire adventure.
235
00:10:12,333 --> 00:10:13,333
Now, you're not seeing double.
236
00:10:13,333 --> 00:10:14,959
They're actually identical twins
237
00:10:14,959 --> 00:10:17,208
and I really have trouble
telling them apart,
238
00:10:17,208 --> 00:10:18,917
which is always fun.
239
00:10:21,250 --> 00:10:23,083
The rules are like this.
240
00:10:23,083 --> 00:10:26,333
Obviously, no food for next 40 days,
241
00:10:26,333 --> 00:10:29,792
no gum, no candy of any
kind, no mints, nothing,
242
00:10:29,792 --> 00:10:33,125
just water for that whole time.
243
00:10:33,125 --> 00:10:36,000
Also, I'm going to be keeping record
244
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,250
of how many times I go to the bathroom,
245
00:10:41,583 --> 00:10:44,125
how many bottles of water I drink.
246
00:10:44,125 --> 00:10:46,458
This little baby here, the wallet,
247
00:10:46,458 --> 00:10:50,625
any time I am left alone,
without supervision around,
248
00:10:51,709 --> 00:10:54,792
they are to take my
wallet, whoever's near me,
249
00:10:54,792 --> 00:10:56,417
well, who is near me that I know,
250
00:10:56,417 --> 00:10:58,041
(laughs) not just somebody.
251
00:10:58,041 --> 00:11:02,208
I can never be alone with my
wallet with access to money.
252
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:07,709
I'm very optimistic about it.
253
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:10,792
I'm actually really excited about it.
254
00:11:11,709 --> 00:11:15,208
As emotionally attached
as I've become to this,
255
00:11:15,208 --> 00:11:19,291
I'm ready to let it go. (laughs)
256
00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:22,583
Okay.
257
00:11:24,333 --> 00:11:25,583
Since all I'm gonna be drinking
258
00:11:25,583 --> 00:11:27,333
for the next 40 days is water,
259
00:11:27,333 --> 00:11:28,834
I thought I'd take my doctor's advice
260
00:11:28,834 --> 00:11:31,417
and go pick up some Smartwater.
261
00:11:33,917 --> 00:11:36,959
And then, I need to grab
about five of these.
262
00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:38,500
I'll just get five of these;
they're sport bottle ones.
263
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:40,667
I think Smartwater's gonna
be my new best friend
264
00:11:40,667 --> 00:11:41,542
for the next month-and-a-half.
265
00:11:41,542 --> 00:11:42,834
- [Cashier] Paper or plastic?
266
00:11:42,834 --> 00:11:44,709
- Plastic will be fine.
267
00:11:44,709 --> 00:11:47,625
(slow piano music)
268
00:11:55,709 --> 00:11:59,291
Tomorrow's my first day and
there's so much on my mind.
269
00:11:59,291 --> 00:12:00,917
Did I make the right choice?
270
00:12:00,917 --> 00:12:02,959
Is fasting too extreme?
271
00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:04,458
What if I can't do it?
272
00:12:04,458 --> 00:12:08,333
I mean, I've fasted before,
but never for this long.
273
00:12:08,333 --> 00:12:11,834
I have no idea what I'll be going through.
274
00:12:21,375 --> 00:12:22,959
This is my maid staff.
275
00:12:22,959 --> 00:12:24,875
(laughs)
276
00:12:24,875 --> 00:12:28,000
- Give me a break, make your own bed.
277
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,917
So, this is when it all begins.
278
00:12:29,917 --> 00:12:33,667
It's the start of the
journey for Kenny Saylors.
279
00:12:33,667 --> 00:12:37,583
So, I'm gonna go in the
next room, wake him up.
280
00:12:39,917 --> 00:12:40,750
Kenny.
281
00:12:42,625 --> 00:12:43,875
Time to get up.
282
00:12:44,834 --> 00:12:46,750
First day of your fast.
283
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,041
- Day one begins.
284
00:13:05,041 --> 00:13:08,792
(slow acoustic guitar music)
285
00:13:10,125 --> 00:13:13,208
- So, this is from Paul and I,
286
00:13:13,208 --> 00:13:17,333
a little gift to start off your journey.
287
00:13:17,333 --> 00:13:18,959
- Oh, very nice, wow!
288
00:13:18,959 --> 00:13:19,792
- [Sonia] Yeah.
289
00:13:19,792 --> 00:13:20,625
- Oh, great!
290
00:13:20,625 --> 00:13:21,583
- [Sonia] See if it fits
around your big head.
291
00:13:21,583 --> 00:13:22,834
- Yeah, oh boy, this is one
292
00:13:22,834 --> 00:13:24,417
that's gotta actually go over the head.
293
00:13:24,417 --> 00:13:25,709
(Sonia laughs)
294
00:13:25,709 --> 00:13:26,834
- Uh-oh. (laughs)
295
00:13:26,834 --> 00:13:27,625
- Okay.
296
00:13:27,625 --> 00:13:28,792
Well, I know one thing:
297
00:13:28,792 --> 00:13:31,291
Once it goes on, it ain't coming off.
298
00:13:31,291 --> 00:13:32,208
Oh, my eye.
299
00:13:33,333 --> 00:13:34,166
- [Sonia] Don't take your eye out.
300
00:13:34,166 --> 00:13:35,792
- Oh, well, hopefully my
head will lose weight.
301
00:13:35,792 --> 00:13:37,166
(laughing)
302
00:13:37,166 --> 00:13:38,333
Golly!
303
00:13:38,333 --> 00:13:39,166
- [Sonia] So, I got my juice.
304
00:13:39,166 --> 00:13:40,000
You got your water?
305
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,500
- [Kenny] Oh yeah, here we go.
306
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:45,166
- [Sonia] I'm starting my
sympathy 40-day juice fast.
307
00:13:45,166 --> 00:13:48,709
- Sonia is doing 40 days
juice fast (inaudible).
308
00:13:48,709 --> 00:13:49,750
I just spilled all over the table.
309
00:13:49,750 --> 00:13:50,583
- Oh thanks, Kenny.
310
00:13:50,583 --> 00:13:51,417
- You're welcome.
(Sonia laughs)
311
00:13:51,417 --> 00:13:52,709
Anything I can do.
312
00:13:52,709 --> 00:13:53,542
So, here we go.
313
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:54,375
- Cheers.
314
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:55,166
- To day one.
315
00:13:55,166 --> 00:13:57,625
(both cheer)
316
00:13:59,417 --> 00:14:01,500
- Mmm, just like candy. (laughs)
317
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:03,709
- Mmm, just like water.
318
00:14:03,709 --> 00:14:06,917
I'm going for my first physical
now, my first weigh-in.
319
00:14:06,917 --> 00:14:09,792
Honestly, I've been terrified
of the scale for years.
320
00:14:09,792 --> 00:14:12,583
I'm afraid of knowing what my weight is.
321
00:14:12,583 --> 00:14:14,875
I always thought I was like
5'9" and three-quarters,
322
00:14:14,875 --> 00:14:18,208
but apparently I'm not
that tall, which is sad,
323
00:14:18,208 --> 00:14:19,792
'cause that's not tall.
324
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:22,500
I'm so ashamed of my height and my weight
325
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:25,834
and pretty much everything. (laughs)
326
00:14:25,834 --> 00:14:27,875
And I got my own little pretty robe
327
00:14:27,875 --> 00:14:29,959
that they actually have to
find one that's a bigger size
328
00:14:29,959 --> 00:14:31,625
because this one will not fit me,
329
00:14:31,625 --> 00:14:34,417
will not fit around my big fat belly.
330
00:14:34,417 --> 00:14:36,959
(laughs)
331
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:37,792
- Hi Kenny, how are you?
332
00:14:37,792 --> 00:14:38,625
- Doing good. (laughs)
333
00:14:38,625 --> 00:14:39,625
- Good to see you.
334
00:14:39,625 --> 00:14:42,709
So, we're gonna measure
everything and everything
335
00:14:42,709 --> 00:14:45,542
because when you stress your body
336
00:14:45,542 --> 00:14:49,834
the way you are gonna stress
it, fasting completely,
337
00:14:49,834 --> 00:14:51,542
there will be a lot of physiological
338
00:14:51,542 --> 00:14:54,500
and biochemical changes in your body.
339
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:57,834
So, but we will be watching
you and we'll be measuring.
340
00:14:57,834 --> 00:14:59,542
We'll make sure that your electrolytes
341
00:14:59,542 --> 00:15:00,959
are correct and all that.
342
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:03,875
But I want you to be
aware there is always risk
343
00:15:03,875 --> 00:15:06,250
for what you're trying to achieve, okay?
344
00:15:06,250 --> 00:15:07,083
- Okay.
345
00:15:07,083 --> 00:15:08,583
- So, it's not an easy deal that you're,
346
00:15:08,583 --> 00:15:10,083
this is a major issue, okay?
347
00:15:10,083 --> 00:15:10,959
- Right, right.
348
00:15:10,959 --> 00:15:11,792
- All right, yeah.
349
00:15:11,792 --> 00:15:15,291
So, we're gonna do your body measurements.
350
00:15:16,208 --> 00:15:20,125
(bright acoustic guitar music)
351
00:15:33,625 --> 00:15:36,291
So, your weight is 315.2 pounds.
352
00:15:39,250 --> 00:15:42,834
53% of that weight is made out of fat.
353
00:15:44,667 --> 00:15:46,291
- 53% fat, ooh.
354
00:15:48,542 --> 00:15:51,250
- So, basically, a little
over half of your weight
355
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:52,375
is made out of fat.
356
00:15:52,375 --> 00:15:53,500
- [Kenny] Wow.
357
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:57,667
- And your body mass index
is 47.8, when, in fact,
358
00:15:58,959 --> 00:16:02,875
we shouldn't see you
greater than 28, you know?
359
00:16:05,625 --> 00:16:08,125
A BMI of 28, maybe 30 maximum.
360
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,083
- 30 maximum.
- Yeah.
361
00:16:11,083 --> 00:16:14,250
And your lean body mass is 147 pounds.
362
00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:18,542
147, okay?
363
00:16:18,542 --> 00:16:20,583
The ideal thing, Kenny, right now
364
00:16:20,583 --> 00:16:24,250
is that we should be very
close watching your progress
365
00:16:24,250 --> 00:16:27,375
and assessing where you are.
366
00:16:27,375 --> 00:16:28,458
- Okay?
- Okay.
367
00:16:28,458 --> 00:16:29,291
All right.
368
00:16:29,291 --> 00:16:30,083
- Oh, well, thank you. (laughs)
369
00:16:30,083 --> 00:16:31,500
- My pleasure, thank you, Kenny.
370
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:32,291
- Well, we'll see what happens.
371
00:16:32,291 --> 00:16:33,125
- All the best.
372
00:16:33,125 --> 00:16:34,709
- Yes, thanks.
373
00:16:34,709 --> 00:16:35,542
Okay.
374
00:16:37,083 --> 00:16:38,959
- [L.] So, how were the measurements?
375
00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:40,375
- Big. (laughs)
376
00:16:40,375 --> 00:16:41,500
- [Dr. Ghaly] Do you see that?
377
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:42,333
- [Woman] Did you see his--
378
00:16:42,333 --> 00:16:44,583
- (gasps) Oh, my friend!
379
00:16:44,583 --> 00:16:46,250
- (laughs) I know, isn't that crazy?
380
00:16:46,250 --> 00:16:47,333
- We're gonna fix that, aren't we?
381
00:16:47,333 --> 00:16:49,500
- I know, isn't that amazing?
382
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:50,417
53.1%.
383
00:16:51,375 --> 00:16:52,250
- Cool.
384
00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:53,083
- I know, man.
- That's awesome.
385
00:16:53,083 --> 00:16:54,333
It's a good thing you're doing this.
386
00:16:54,333 --> 00:16:55,375
- Boy, I'll tell you, that 53%--
387
00:16:55,375 --> 00:16:57,125
- But the good news is
you're in good health.
388
00:16:57,125 --> 00:16:58,750
So, doing a fast is okay,
389
00:16:58,750 --> 00:17:02,208
'cause not everybody should
be doing it, but you're okay.
390
00:17:02,208 --> 00:17:03,041
You got the doctor's approval.
391
00:17:03,041 --> 00:17:07,208
- Which is weird with 53%
of me being blub. (laughs)
392
00:17:10,291 --> 00:17:13,500
Okay, so I had my first physical today.
393
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:16,583
Basically, 53% of me is fat.
394
00:17:16,583 --> 00:17:19,375
And 167 pounds of fat on
me, that's what it is.
395
00:17:19,375 --> 00:17:21,291
So, I knew I was big, but, man,
396
00:17:21,291 --> 00:17:22,834
that's really bigger than I thought.
397
00:17:22,834 --> 00:17:25,417
So, anyhow, so this is day one,
398
00:17:26,917 --> 00:17:30,041
and it'll be interesting to
see what happens day two.
399
00:17:30,041 --> 00:17:32,583
And I've got a headache already starting,
400
00:17:32,583 --> 00:17:33,792
becoming pretty bad, actually.
401
00:17:33,792 --> 00:17:36,959
So, anyhow, so day one, physical over.
402
00:17:39,792 --> 00:17:41,208
Good news, I'm pretty healthy.
403
00:17:41,208 --> 00:17:45,375
Bad news, I'm really fat. (laughs)
404
00:17:52,375 --> 00:17:55,375
(light piano music)
405
00:17:59,875 --> 00:18:02,125
I look at myself in the mirror.
406
00:18:02,125 --> 00:18:04,667
And so, I see what I am now
407
00:18:04,667 --> 00:18:07,709
and I know where I was
and I know what I can be.
408
00:18:07,709 --> 00:18:11,875
The problem is I seem to have
this block of getting over it,
409
00:18:12,834 --> 00:18:13,834
and I'm trying.
410
00:18:13,834 --> 00:18:15,583
And that's the thing
is when people see me,
411
00:18:15,583 --> 00:18:17,917
they just see a fat guy.
412
00:18:17,917 --> 00:18:21,250
But what they don't see is they don't see
413
00:18:21,250 --> 00:18:24,000
that I'm a person who
struggles with this every day.
414
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,875
It's something that I
am trying to overcome,
415
00:18:26,875 --> 00:18:29,375
and I know there are much
bigger people than me around.
416
00:18:29,375 --> 00:18:32,417
And so, I can't even imagine
what they go through.
417
00:18:32,417 --> 00:18:36,583
I went through a very,
very difficult breakup
418
00:18:36,583 --> 00:18:40,291
and I was under the impression
everything was fine.
419
00:18:40,291 --> 00:18:42,458
And then, all of a sudden,
420
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,166
she calls me up one night
421
00:18:45,166 --> 00:18:47,917
and just says, "Look, it's over."
422
00:18:49,291 --> 00:18:50,709
I was devastated.
423
00:18:52,166 --> 00:18:55,250
I mean, I wasn't just broken-hearted,
424
00:18:57,875 --> 00:18:58,959
I was broken.
425
00:18:59,959 --> 00:19:03,834
And she never gave me a
reason, just ended it.
426
00:19:05,166 --> 00:19:06,583
I didn't know how to handle that.
427
00:19:06,583 --> 00:19:09,875
I didn't know, emotionally,
what to do with that.
428
00:19:09,875 --> 00:19:11,625
There was no closure for me.
429
00:19:11,625 --> 00:19:15,500
And from that point, over the next year,
430
00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:17,500
I gained over 80 pounds.
431
00:19:19,041 --> 00:19:23,750
I ate and I ate because
food doesn't reject you.
432
00:19:23,750 --> 00:19:27,083
Most of the weight that I
have now is from that breakup.
433
00:19:27,083 --> 00:19:28,917
But, thank the Lord, I'm through it.
434
00:19:28,917 --> 00:19:31,250
Now, I'm here, my mind is more clear,
435
00:19:31,250 --> 00:19:33,375
and I'm ready to move forward.
436
00:19:33,375 --> 00:19:36,166
Talking about my breakup was really tough.
437
00:19:36,166 --> 00:19:38,542
I've been pushing it to the
back of my mind for so long
438
00:19:38,542 --> 00:19:42,166
that finally facing it
was actually a release.
439
00:19:42,166 --> 00:19:44,709
Losing her had such an impact on me.
440
00:19:44,709 --> 00:19:47,625
It completely changed the
way I dealt with my emotions.
441
00:19:47,625 --> 00:19:48,875
That's something I need to work on
442
00:19:48,875 --> 00:19:51,709
if I'm gonna change the way I
deal with pain in the future.
443
00:19:51,709 --> 00:19:53,875
I just can't keep running
to food any longer.
444
00:19:53,875 --> 00:19:56,875
(light piano music)
445
00:20:00,041 --> 00:20:01,583
And so, mark down,
446
00:20:02,792 --> 00:20:06,959
this is the fourth time I've
gone to the bathroom today
447
00:20:07,875 --> 00:20:09,542
because I'm going to
the bathroom right now.
448
00:20:09,542 --> 00:20:12,000
And I'm gonna be talking about something
449
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,417
that Dr. Ghaly told me to
go pick up are these things,
450
00:20:16,417 --> 00:20:17,834
they're keto sticks.
451
00:20:17,834 --> 00:20:19,458
And you pee on the little end thing
452
00:20:19,458 --> 00:20:22,834
and then you've gotta correlate
it with this side here.
453
00:20:22,834 --> 00:20:25,834
This tells you if your body
has gone into ketosis or not,
454
00:20:25,834 --> 00:20:27,709
which this means nothing
455
00:20:27,709 --> 00:20:30,000
and this means you're
heavily into ketosis.
456
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,083
(upbeat salsa music)
457
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:42,959
It's ketosis time!
458
00:20:48,792 --> 00:20:51,625
And as we see here, let's see,
459
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:56,000
the keto strip didn't
change really any color.
460
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,291
Well, it changed that color,
which means it's negative,
461
00:20:59,291 --> 00:21:02,458
which means my body has not
even started the ketosis yet.
462
00:21:02,458 --> 00:21:04,000
Pretty natural, I guess.
463
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,500
I wouldn't expect me to
be instantly into ketosis
464
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:10,166
from not eating for one
day, so there we go.
465
00:21:11,250 --> 00:21:14,041
Should I collect these, you think?
466
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:20,625
(light dreamlike music)
467
00:21:20,625 --> 00:21:22,166
I used to love to go for a run,
468
00:21:22,166 --> 00:21:23,667
especially on a day like this.
469
00:21:23,667 --> 00:21:25,041
But I gradually became embarrassed
470
00:21:25,041 --> 00:21:28,542
and self-conscious about my
body, so I eventually stopped.
471
00:21:28,542 --> 00:21:31,125
You know, it takes a lot of
courage and self-confidence
472
00:21:31,125 --> 00:21:32,542
for a person to just not care
473
00:21:32,542 --> 00:21:35,291
about what other people may
think or what they might say
474
00:21:35,291 --> 00:21:39,458
and just go out there and do
the things normal people do.
475
00:21:40,458 --> 00:21:41,959
Now, I'm more embarrassed by the fact
476
00:21:41,959 --> 00:21:46,083
that I cared that much to
let it stop me for that long.
477
00:21:47,625 --> 00:21:50,375
- Over the years, things that
you've seen that we're eating,
478
00:21:50,375 --> 00:21:52,417
how we're eating, things such as this,
479
00:21:52,417 --> 00:21:54,583
I'm a firm believer that you
can damn near eat anything
480
00:21:54,583 --> 00:21:58,208
that you want, it's what you do after.
481
00:21:58,208 --> 00:22:02,041
I still feel it's input,
I think it's exercise.
482
00:22:02,041 --> 00:22:04,500
And also, I think a lot of it
comes back to psychological.
483
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:05,959
There is a criteria that states
484
00:22:05,959 --> 00:22:08,291
when gastric bypass
should be done clinically.
485
00:22:08,291 --> 00:22:10,959
We are doing them now in
13- and 14-year-old kids.
486
00:22:10,959 --> 00:22:14,834
When you have a kid, 13, 14,
that's weighing 325 pounds,
487
00:22:14,834 --> 00:22:16,375
you've got a problem.
488
00:22:16,375 --> 00:22:18,667
Gastric bypass should only be for those
489
00:22:18,667 --> 00:22:20,709
that psychologically
cannot handle their weight.
490
00:22:20,709 --> 00:22:22,083
In other words, obesity is not a reason
491
00:22:22,083 --> 00:22:23,375
to have a gastric bypass.
492
00:22:23,375 --> 00:22:26,959
It's very simple: What goes in, comes out,
493
00:22:26,959 --> 00:22:28,792
unless you have glandular trouble,
494
00:22:28,792 --> 00:22:30,417
and that's one-tenth of a percent
495
00:22:30,417 --> 00:22:32,500
of people that have weight problems.
496
00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:35,834
(light dreamlike music)
497
00:22:44,542 --> 00:22:46,959
People come in all sorts
of shapes and sizes,
498
00:22:46,959 --> 00:22:48,834
but only a small percentage actually have
499
00:22:48,834 --> 00:22:51,083
some sort of medical
reason they're overweight.
500
00:22:51,083 --> 00:22:52,625
As for everyone else,
501
00:22:52,625 --> 00:22:54,792
it's mainly due to their emotional eating,
502
00:22:54,792 --> 00:22:56,667
lifestyle habits, or both.
503
00:22:56,667 --> 00:22:58,959
Ask any of them why they
think they're overweight,
504
00:22:58,959 --> 00:23:00,542
they're gonna tell you they're big-boned,
505
00:23:00,542 --> 00:23:02,542
it's genetics, or something like that.
506
00:23:02,542 --> 00:23:04,583
Now, ask those same people
507
00:23:04,583 --> 00:23:06,709
what size their great-grandparents were,
508
00:23:06,709 --> 00:23:08,625
their great-great-grandparents,
509
00:23:08,625 --> 00:23:11,125
and I bet they'll tell you
they were all average-sized.
510
00:23:11,125 --> 00:23:13,875
Ask anyone over 65 how many obese people
511
00:23:13,875 --> 00:23:15,625
they remember seeing as a child
512
00:23:15,625 --> 00:23:19,500
and they'll tell you
there were very, very few.
513
00:23:24,250 --> 00:23:25,834
(upbeat pop music)
514
00:23:25,834 --> 00:23:28,166
One of the things I loved
to do was play tennis.
515
00:23:28,166 --> 00:23:29,000
I'd always hit the courts
516
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,333
when I felt like I
needed to clear my mind.
517
00:23:31,333 --> 00:23:32,625
Now, I think it's time to go back
518
00:23:32,625 --> 00:23:34,250
to the things that worked
for me in the past,
519
00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:37,291
when I was a lot healthier.
520
00:23:37,291 --> 00:23:40,000
These are the things I just
don't ever wanna give up again.
521
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,959
(upbeat pop music)
522
00:23:56,542 --> 00:23:59,000
You know, that extra 50
pounds or something, (laughs)
523
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,583
it really does come into effect
524
00:24:00,583 --> 00:24:02,333
whenever you're running
around, that's for sure.
525
00:24:02,333 --> 00:24:03,291
- [Man] How's day three?
526
00:24:03,291 --> 00:24:05,208
- Day three, so far, hasn't been bad.
527
00:24:05,208 --> 00:24:07,542
Now, in about six hours, the
story might be changed a bit.
528
00:24:07,542 --> 00:24:08,500
(laughs)
529
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:11,417
(upbeat pop music)
530
00:24:16,792 --> 00:24:18,542
Playing tennis for the first time in years
531
00:24:18,542 --> 00:24:19,959
really wore me out.
532
00:24:19,959 --> 00:24:22,583
It reminded me of what
I'm doing to my body,
533
00:24:22,583 --> 00:24:25,333
so I decided to just take it
easy for the rest of the day
534
00:24:25,333 --> 00:24:27,458
and go to the movies with Paul and Sonia,
535
00:24:27,458 --> 00:24:29,542
although I think this will
be the first time ever
536
00:24:29,542 --> 00:24:31,875
that I won't be digging
into a big tub of popcorn
537
00:24:31,875 --> 00:24:34,083
while I'm watching a movie.
538
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,083
I am so miserably tired today.
539
00:24:39,083 --> 00:24:40,625
(groans)
540
00:24:40,625 --> 00:24:43,667
- [Sonia] What do you normally
eat when you go see a movie?
541
00:24:43,667 --> 00:24:46,208
- [Kenny] Typically, I get
just a bunch of crap, you know?
542
00:24:46,208 --> 00:24:48,333
- [Sonia] Well, but they don't
really sell anything healthy.
543
00:24:48,333 --> 00:24:50,959
- I usually get the Reese's Pieces.
544
00:24:50,959 --> 00:24:51,834
(Sonia laughs)
545
00:24:51,834 --> 00:24:53,208
Maybe we shouldn't talk about it. (laughs)
546
00:24:53,208 --> 00:24:54,417
- [Sonia] No, I wanna hear!
547
00:24:54,417 --> 00:24:55,750
- Yeah, but the Reese's Pieces are good.
548
00:24:55,750 --> 00:24:58,500
And then, well, you know, you
typically get the big drink,
549
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:00,417
the $15 16-ounce drink.
550
00:25:02,792 --> 00:25:06,709
'Cause we associated watching
movies with so much eating
551
00:25:06,709 --> 00:25:09,000
that every time you watch a movie,
552
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,959
you feel like you gotta eat, you know?
553
00:25:11,959 --> 00:25:13,291
- Did you see that dude?
- Okay, yeah.
554
00:25:13,291 --> 00:25:15,625
- [Sonia] He's like, "I
pledge allegiance to you
555
00:25:15,625 --> 00:25:19,250
"because you stopped."
(both laughing)
556
00:25:19,250 --> 00:25:20,417
(Kenny coughing)
557
00:25:20,417 --> 00:25:21,834
- Oh man, you're killing
me there, that was funny.
558
00:25:21,834 --> 00:25:24,208
- [Sonia] There's the Kenny cough.
559
00:25:24,208 --> 00:25:25,583
That cough has gotta go.
560
00:25:25,583 --> 00:25:26,959
- I know.
- It has to go.
561
00:25:26,959 --> 00:25:28,625
I think the doctor's supposed
to tell you something.
562
00:25:28,625 --> 00:25:31,417
- Yeah, my lungs were clean,
563
00:25:31,417 --> 00:25:32,208
were clear, so I don't know what--
564
00:25:32,208 --> 00:25:34,083
- [Sonia] Well, something's
making you cough like that.
565
00:25:34,083 --> 00:25:34,959
I don't understand.
566
00:25:34,959 --> 00:25:36,208
- I know, it sounds like
I've friggin' been smoking
567
00:25:36,208 --> 00:25:39,000
for 50 years and I don't even smoke.
568
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,959
But, previously when I had
lost weight, it went away.
569
00:25:41,959 --> 00:25:44,417
The cough just disappeared.
570
00:25:44,417 --> 00:25:46,834
- [Sonia] So, it must be flab-related.
571
00:25:46,834 --> 00:25:47,959
- I guess so.
(both laugh)
572
00:25:47,959 --> 00:25:51,834
(upbeat acoustic guitar music)
573
00:25:59,959 --> 00:26:02,041
(groans)
574
00:26:08,166 --> 00:26:09,333
Oh, I'm tired.
575
00:26:10,208 --> 00:26:13,125
Day three has been a pain in the...
576
00:26:14,417 --> 00:26:17,875
So, yesterday, I was negative on ketones.
577
00:26:20,375 --> 00:26:22,959
We're gonna see how I am today.
578
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:27,291
I'm putting this in my mouth,
this is before I pee on it.
579
00:26:27,291 --> 00:26:28,834
(laughs)
580
00:26:28,834 --> 00:26:29,750
Here we go.
581
00:26:30,959 --> 00:26:34,166
I just peed on this
thing, let's check it out.
582
00:26:34,166 --> 00:26:36,250
The other day, I was here, I was negative.
583
00:26:36,250 --> 00:26:37,208
Let's see where I am today.
584
00:26:37,208 --> 00:26:38,792
It's not quite to moderate yet,
585
00:26:38,792 --> 00:26:41,375
so I'm still under the small category.
586
00:26:41,375 --> 00:26:42,959
So, there we go.
587
00:26:42,959 --> 00:26:46,667
Ketone sticks, don't
leave home without 'em.
588
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,458
Day three has come to an end.
589
00:27:07,041 --> 00:27:08,625
Well, it's about...
590
00:27:09,667 --> 00:27:13,875
It's about 3:30, 4:00 in the
morning and I just woke up.
591
00:27:16,542 --> 00:27:18,375
I'm just like, oh man,
592
00:27:20,834 --> 00:27:23,542
not feeling so well right now.
593
00:27:23,542 --> 00:27:27,750
Got a headache and my stomach
is growling like crazy.
594
00:27:30,792 --> 00:27:32,917
And so, I'm just really hungry,
595
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:35,750
and right about now, I'm thinking,
596
00:27:36,792 --> 00:27:39,375
"Man, is this a good idea?"
597
00:27:39,375 --> 00:27:42,875
And, man, I'm only a few days in.
598
00:27:42,875 --> 00:27:43,792
It's tough.
599
00:27:44,667 --> 00:27:46,333
I mean, it's tough;
I'm already feeling it.
600
00:27:46,333 --> 00:27:47,250
But, hey...
601
00:27:50,500 --> 00:27:51,333
Man.
602
00:27:52,959 --> 00:27:55,959
All right, I gotta try
to go back to sleep.
603
00:27:55,959 --> 00:27:58,375
Day five is the most difficult so far.
604
00:27:58,375 --> 00:28:01,333
The thought of giving up has
actually crossed my mind.
605
00:28:01,333 --> 00:28:03,709
What stops me is realizing
what my life's become
606
00:28:03,709 --> 00:28:07,375
and what it's going to
continue to be if I let it.
607
00:28:07,375 --> 00:28:10,083
When you're ready to make a
profound change in your life,
608
00:28:10,083 --> 00:28:11,291
you have to face your fears.
609
00:28:11,291 --> 00:28:12,709
You have to keep pushing yourself
610
00:28:12,709 --> 00:28:15,000
and imagine how different
your life could be
611
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,375
if you only try.
612
00:28:18,542 --> 00:28:20,959
My first colonic, yeah, I know.
613
00:28:20,959 --> 00:28:23,125
I know, I'm kind of, I don't know,
614
00:28:23,125 --> 00:28:24,208
I don't wanna think.
615
00:28:24,208 --> 00:28:26,375
(whines) A colonic. (laughs)
616
00:28:26,375 --> 00:28:28,458
Yeah, it shouldn't be too bad, I guess.
617
00:28:28,458 --> 00:28:29,834
They said that it'll
relax me a little bit,
618
00:28:29,834 --> 00:28:30,750
so I'm like, "All right."
619
00:28:30,750 --> 00:28:33,291
My doctor's advised me that
since my digestive system
620
00:28:33,291 --> 00:28:35,458
was going to be inactive for so long,
621
00:28:35,458 --> 00:28:38,208
it was necessary for me
to clean out my colon.
622
00:28:38,208 --> 00:28:41,500
(upbeat acoustic guitar music)
623
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:44,542
Now, most people know as
much about colonics as I do,
624
00:28:44,542 --> 00:28:46,375
which is practically nothing.
625
00:28:46,375 --> 00:28:48,875
The human colon is over five feet long,
626
00:28:48,875 --> 00:28:50,917
and the only way for
it to fit into our body
627
00:28:50,917 --> 00:28:53,083
is by being bent and folded.
628
00:28:53,083 --> 00:28:55,000
After years and years of eating,
629
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,125
pieces of food and waste
become lodged in these folds,
630
00:28:58,125 --> 00:29:00,333
causing poor circulation, constipation,
631
00:29:00,333 --> 00:29:03,166
allergies, mood swings,
just to name a few.
632
00:29:03,166 --> 00:29:06,333
Colonic hydrotherapy is an
alternative medical process
633
00:29:06,333 --> 00:29:09,375
in which warm, filtered
water gently fills the colon
634
00:29:09,375 --> 00:29:12,125
through the insertion
of a small plastic tube.
635
00:29:12,125 --> 00:29:14,792
The water enters the
crevices of the colon walls
636
00:29:14,792 --> 00:29:16,792
and removes pieces of waste.
637
00:29:16,792 --> 00:29:19,000
As the pressure inside the colon builds,
638
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,000
the water is released
639
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,625
and everything is
evacuated through the hose.
640
00:29:22,625 --> 00:29:24,750
This process is repeated several times
641
00:29:24,750 --> 00:29:27,083
until the entire colon has been cleaned.
642
00:29:27,083 --> 00:29:29,333
Generally, patients need several colonics
643
00:29:29,333 --> 00:29:31,875
before all the waste is removed
and they can start feeling
644
00:29:31,875 --> 00:29:35,208
the real benefits of a healthy colon.
645
00:29:35,208 --> 00:29:36,792
Colonic number one.
646
00:29:38,041 --> 00:29:38,917
- [Man] Get ready for it.
647
00:29:38,917 --> 00:29:39,875
(heavy breathing)
648
00:29:39,875 --> 00:29:42,041
I gotta motivate myself. (laughing)
649
00:29:42,041 --> 00:29:44,417
I'm about to get plugged in.
650
00:29:46,125 --> 00:29:47,959
- So, you're gonna be just with the nurse.
651
00:29:47,959 --> 00:29:50,291
She'll take care of you
for the entire time.
652
00:29:50,291 --> 00:29:52,041
Part of what we wanna do,
since it's the first time
653
00:29:52,041 --> 00:29:54,750
that you've ever, ever,
ever gotten a colonic
654
00:29:54,750 --> 00:29:57,250
is we want you to be really
comfortable and really relaxed.
655
00:29:57,250 --> 00:30:00,583
- I'll need to be really relaxed. (laughs)
656
00:30:00,583 --> 00:30:02,333
- [L.] You're gonna be fine!
657
00:30:02,333 --> 00:30:04,834
- I'm your nurse, I'm gonna
help you through this session.
658
00:30:04,834 --> 00:30:05,667
- This is Kenny's information, by the way.
659
00:30:05,667 --> 00:30:06,959
- All right, I'll need some help. (laughs)
660
00:30:06,959 --> 00:30:09,709
- [Jan] Okay, 305.2, that's down!
661
00:30:10,625 --> 00:30:12,792
- Lost 10 pounds exactly.
662
00:30:12,792 --> 00:30:14,542
I was 315.2.
663
00:30:14,542 --> 00:30:16,542
- Okay, please step off.
664
00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:19,083
Open in the back, not the front,
665
00:30:19,083 --> 00:30:19,959
'cause we're gonna work back here.
666
00:30:19,959 --> 00:30:20,959
- Oh okay, yeah. (laughs)
667
00:30:20,959 --> 00:30:22,500
- So, that's how I want
you to put them on.
668
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:24,000
Please empty your bladder.
669
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,875
- Okay.
670
00:30:24,875 --> 00:30:26,250
- Check your messages on
your cell phone if you need.
671
00:30:26,250 --> 00:30:29,500
I'm gonna just change our program here.
672
00:30:30,834 --> 00:30:34,083
♫ Something unspeakable
is scheduled to occur
673
00:30:34,083 --> 00:30:38,792
♫ And when it does, it
will be a sort of relief
674
00:30:38,792 --> 00:30:42,208
♫ But just for one of us
675
00:30:43,250 --> 00:30:44,333
♫ All right there
676
00:30:44,333 --> 00:30:47,291
♫ I'll give a greater
resistance to movement
677
00:30:47,291 --> 00:30:48,917
♫ And I feel the weight
678
00:30:48,917 --> 00:30:52,583
♫ Yeah, I can feel the weight
679
00:30:52,583 --> 00:30:56,000
The tubing we use is thrown
away; it's never used again.
680
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,333
So, don't go anywhere where
they don't throw it away.
681
00:30:58,333 --> 00:30:59,125
- Right.
682
00:30:59,125 --> 00:31:02,709
- And this is the smaller tubing
that we're gonna be using.
683
00:31:02,709 --> 00:31:04,250
- Yes. (laughs)
684
00:31:04,250 --> 00:31:05,583
It's a small tiny one.
685
00:31:05,583 --> 00:31:07,375
- A small tiny one.
- It's very good.
686
00:31:07,375 --> 00:31:09,792
And this machine that
you're using will turn off.
687
00:31:09,792 --> 00:31:12,792
If you get too much interabdominal
pressure, it'll turn off.
688
00:31:12,792 --> 00:31:15,041
So, it's safe; it's a safety feature.
689
00:31:15,041 --> 00:31:16,667
If it gets too hot, it'll turn off.
690
00:31:16,667 --> 00:31:19,208
But everything in a colonic is breathing
691
00:31:19,208 --> 00:31:20,542
because sometimes we might wanna
692
00:31:20,542 --> 00:31:23,041
get the water around some gas.
693
00:31:25,417 --> 00:31:27,083
If you do an enema at home,
694
00:31:27,083 --> 00:31:30,250
you're probably only gonna
get up on the sigmoid side.
695
00:31:30,250 --> 00:31:33,000
And when I do a colonic,
the reason they call it high
696
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,250
is I can go all the way
up, across the transverse,
697
00:31:35,250 --> 00:31:37,166
and all the way over here to the cecum.
698
00:31:37,166 --> 00:31:39,750
So, I'm getting the total colon.
699
00:31:39,750 --> 00:31:40,583
- Ohh.
700
00:31:40,583 --> 00:31:43,000
- It's hard to do that unless
you stand on your head.
701
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,125
Now, when you're ready, Kenny,
turn on your side for me
702
00:31:45,125 --> 00:31:47,500
and look at the bathroom door, please.
703
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:49,125
This is gonna be a little unusual.
704
00:31:49,125 --> 00:31:51,792
Nobody likes this part.
705
00:31:51,792 --> 00:31:54,250
The best thing to do
is just open your mouth
706
00:31:54,250 --> 00:31:55,875
and breath through your mouth.
707
00:31:55,875 --> 00:31:56,709
Open your mouth.
708
00:31:56,709 --> 00:31:59,291
Go, "Ahhh," and gentle push.
709
00:31:59,291 --> 00:32:00,333
"Ahhh."
710
00:32:00,333 --> 00:32:02,625
Take your time, there's two valves.
711
00:32:02,625 --> 00:32:05,959
Valve of Houston, as a
matter of fact, for Texas.
712
00:32:05,959 --> 00:32:07,667
Breathe, go, "Ahhh."
713
00:32:10,125 --> 00:32:15,041
- I'm sure glad you used
the small one. (laughs)
714
00:32:15,041 --> 00:32:16,583
- [Jan] Good.
715
00:32:16,583 --> 00:32:19,875
And you get this little tiny
pillow, put your head there.
716
00:32:19,875 --> 00:32:21,000
All righty.
717
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,041
Already going in, it's been going in.
718
00:32:23,041 --> 00:32:25,291
Take a deep breath, please.
719
00:32:26,792 --> 00:32:27,959
Good.
720
00:32:27,959 --> 00:32:30,875
Now, the colon is closer
to the back than the front,
721
00:32:30,875 --> 00:32:32,792
so the transverse runs along here.
722
00:32:32,792 --> 00:32:34,333
So, sometimes, if you get backaches,
723
00:32:34,333 --> 00:32:36,875
you know that it's your colon.
724
00:32:39,250 --> 00:32:43,458
♫ I curl up in the land of
old discarded plastic bags
725
00:32:45,959 --> 00:32:50,417
♫ Dirty soft drink cups and candy wrappers
726
00:32:50,417 --> 00:32:51,375
It won't hurt you
727
00:32:51,375 --> 00:32:52,417
and it sometimes helps
you have bowel movements.
728
00:32:52,417 --> 00:32:56,583
♫ And I worry so that I'll be home soon
729
00:32:58,709 --> 00:33:01,959
- So, it was, no, it was very good.
730
00:33:01,959 --> 00:33:05,291
The only thing that was, the
entry was a little rough.
731
00:33:05,291 --> 00:33:08,417
But, (laughs) after that,
it wasn't so bad, you know?
732
00:33:08,417 --> 00:33:09,291
I was very relaxed, though,
733
00:33:09,291 --> 00:33:11,792
through the whole process,
actually, even 'til the end.
734
00:33:11,792 --> 00:33:13,333
And now I'm just tired.
735
00:33:13,333 --> 00:33:15,291
- You probably just wanna
go home and chill out.
736
00:33:15,291 --> 00:33:16,959
- Yeah.
737
00:33:16,959 --> 00:33:21,041
Actually, wasn't as bad
as I thought it would be.
738
00:33:21,917 --> 00:33:25,625
The takeoff and landing
was pretty rough. (laughs)
739
00:33:25,625 --> 00:33:28,500
But other than that,
nah, it wasn't so bad.
740
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:31,834
I've lost 12 pounds, so not bad.
741
00:33:31,834 --> 00:33:32,875
That's the story.
742
00:33:32,875 --> 00:33:35,458
I'm going home to sleep in now.
743
00:33:43,291 --> 00:33:47,458
♫ 'Cause I'm too stupid
to do what I've gotta do
744
00:33:48,959 --> 00:33:50,834
♫ Ohh
745
00:33:52,542 --> 00:33:54,250
So, today is a road trip.
746
00:33:54,250 --> 00:33:56,208
I'm traveling up north
with my friend, Ata.
747
00:33:56,208 --> 00:33:58,083
We're gonna go hang out
with some of our friends
748
00:33:58,083 --> 00:33:59,750
who are visiting from Iran.
749
00:33:59,750 --> 00:34:01,333
Now, I haven't seen them in a while,
750
00:34:01,333 --> 00:34:04,000
and so they have no clue what I'm doing.
751
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,500
- I believe in what you're doing
752
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:09,333
and I believe that you're
gonna be successful.
753
00:34:09,333 --> 00:34:12,959
I just decided to fast
as long I'm with you,
754
00:34:15,125 --> 00:34:17,166
and I'm just going to drink water.
755
00:34:17,166 --> 00:34:20,041
I brought about 20-30 bottles of water.
756
00:34:20,041 --> 00:34:24,208
And I'm going to join you on
this fast to just support you.
757
00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:28,375
- I had to go to the bathroom
while we were driving.
758
00:34:28,375 --> 00:34:31,834
That was a colonic residue
is what I'll call it.
759
00:34:31,834 --> 00:34:34,333
But here in between two evils.
760
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:35,375
There's a Denny's over here
761
00:34:35,375 --> 00:34:37,166
and a Jack in the Crack over here.
762
00:34:37,166 --> 00:34:38,333
Oh man.
763
00:34:38,333 --> 00:34:39,750
I'm ready, let's rock and roll.
764
00:34:39,750 --> 00:34:40,542
- Okay.
765
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:48,166
These are my friends
and relatives from Iran.
766
00:34:48,166 --> 00:34:51,333
(inaudible greetings)
767
00:34:56,834 --> 00:34:57,917
- [Both] Aww.
768
00:35:00,542 --> 00:35:01,792
(laughing)
769
00:35:01,792 --> 00:35:02,792
- Blame it on Ata.
770
00:35:02,792 --> 00:35:03,625
(laughing)
771
00:35:03,625 --> 00:35:04,959
(Persian music)
772
00:35:04,959 --> 00:35:06,542
Over the years that I've gotten to know
773
00:35:06,542 --> 00:35:08,542
my Persian friends and their culture,
774
00:35:08,542 --> 00:35:09,458
what I've really noticed
775
00:35:09,458 --> 00:35:11,792
is how mealtime is their bonding time.
776
00:35:11,792 --> 00:35:13,834
They cook together, they eat together,
777
00:35:13,834 --> 00:35:16,667
their connection with food
has a whole different meaning.
778
00:35:16,667 --> 00:35:18,041
It seems like here in America,
779
00:35:18,041 --> 00:35:20,417
we're so caught up in our fast-paced lives
780
00:35:20,417 --> 00:35:21,750
that we've forgotten how important
781
00:35:21,750 --> 00:35:23,750
these family traditions are.
782
00:35:23,750 --> 00:35:25,750
Sure, it's easier to just
hit the drive-through
783
00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:27,000
and call that dinner,
784
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,250
but think about what we're sacrificing.
785
00:35:34,125 --> 00:35:35,208
Thanks, yeah.
786
00:35:40,208 --> 00:35:41,166
- [Woman] Very bad, huh?
787
00:35:41,166 --> 00:35:43,041
- This is actually the first
time I've been hungry in, no.
788
00:35:43,041 --> 00:35:45,291
(laughing)
789
00:35:57,959 --> 00:35:59,333
It smells really good in here.
790
00:35:59,333 --> 00:36:00,834
(laughing)
791
00:36:00,834 --> 00:36:04,709
(upbeat acoustic guitar music)
792
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:11,792
Here's one of the things
I can't wait to be over
793
00:36:11,792 --> 00:36:13,458
is putting on shoes.
794
00:36:22,041 --> 00:36:26,208
Yeah, as a big person, I
understand that most skinny folks
795
00:36:27,333 --> 00:36:31,375
don't realize that
(laughs) putting on shoes
796
00:36:31,375 --> 00:36:35,458
and tying shoes is actually
a very trying ordeal.
797
00:36:40,875 --> 00:36:43,959
(driving rock music)
798
00:36:54,291 --> 00:36:56,625
- [Sonia] Did you time it?
799
00:36:56,625 --> 00:37:00,333
I thought you were supposed to time it.
800
00:37:00,333 --> 00:37:01,625
(laughing)
801
00:37:01,625 --> 00:37:02,458
What do you think?
802
00:37:02,458 --> 00:37:06,083
How long do you think you can take it?
803
00:37:06,083 --> 00:37:09,166
(driving rock music)
804
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:21,333
(heavy breathing)
805
00:37:24,375 --> 00:37:27,500
(driving rock music)
806
00:37:37,291 --> 00:37:41,458
- Doesn't seem like long,
but I'm not doing it again.
807
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:44,834
A bed?
808
00:37:44,834 --> 00:37:46,750
(laughing)
809
00:37:46,750 --> 00:37:48,000
- Are you hungry?
810
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:48,875
- No.
811
00:37:48,875 --> 00:37:49,709
- [Sonia] I'm not hungry either.
812
00:37:49,709 --> 00:37:50,542
- I'm not hungry.
813
00:37:50,542 --> 00:37:53,166
(laughing)
814
00:37:53,166 --> 00:37:55,458
- You probably eat a lot and
you're still skinny, huh?
815
00:37:55,458 --> 00:37:56,291
- [Paul] Yeah.
816
00:37:56,291 --> 00:37:57,125
- That's not fair.
817
00:37:57,125 --> 00:37:58,417
(laughing)
818
00:37:58,417 --> 00:38:01,667
(light ethereal music)
819
00:38:09,375 --> 00:38:11,041
- My doctor advised me not to do
820
00:38:11,041 --> 00:38:13,583
any exercise at all during my fast.
821
00:38:13,583 --> 00:38:15,000
Of course, I didn't listen to him,
822
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,041
and now I'm paying the price.
823
00:38:17,041 --> 00:38:20,333
Maybe I'm just trying to go too fast.
824
00:38:20,333 --> 00:38:23,583
(coughing and heaving)
825
00:38:36,917 --> 00:38:40,291
(slow alternative music)
826
00:38:44,875 --> 00:38:49,166
I just feel like this has
been like a 40-hour day.
827
00:38:49,166 --> 00:38:53,041
But, actually, I started off the day fine.
828
00:38:53,041 --> 00:38:55,250
I started off fine, and then
the frickin' end of the day
829
00:38:55,250 --> 00:38:57,333
just seemed like ongoing.
830
00:38:59,917 --> 00:39:01,750
Well, that has crossed
my mind a few times.
831
00:39:01,750 --> 00:39:02,583
(laughing)
832
00:39:02,583 --> 00:39:03,959
I'm like, "Being fat's not so bad."
833
00:39:03,959 --> 00:39:06,750
(laughing)
834
00:39:06,750 --> 00:39:07,750
- It's not that bad.
835
00:39:07,750 --> 00:39:09,792
It'll go by really fast.
836
00:39:09,792 --> 00:39:12,250
- [Kenny] Yeah, is that what
you're telling yourself too?
837
00:39:12,250 --> 00:39:13,625
- [Sonia] Oh yeah, that's
what I'm telling myself too.
838
00:39:13,625 --> 00:39:15,875
(laughing)
839
00:39:20,125 --> 00:39:22,959
(light pop music)
840
00:39:30,875 --> 00:39:33,250
- It's now been 15 days of not chewing
841
00:39:33,250 --> 00:39:36,041
or eating junk food on a daily basis.
842
00:39:36,041 --> 00:39:38,625
Now, I've managed to keep
one of my bad habits though,
843
00:39:38,625 --> 00:39:40,583
and that's chewing straws.
844
00:39:40,583 --> 00:39:43,125
The good part is they have zero calories.
845
00:39:43,125 --> 00:39:44,583
The bad part?
846
00:39:44,583 --> 00:39:47,625
Well, they have zero flavor.
847
00:39:47,625 --> 00:39:51,375
The amazing transformation
from bed to couch.
848
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:54,333
Ta-da!
849
00:39:54,333 --> 00:39:58,000
And to office now. (laughs)
850
00:40:00,667 --> 00:40:03,750
- [L.] Just give it a couple seconds.
851
00:40:04,792 --> 00:40:05,625
- [Kenny] There it is.
852
00:40:05,625 --> 00:40:06,917
- Yay!
- 301.
853
00:40:06,917 --> 00:40:08,834
Oh man, 301.6.
854
00:40:08,834 --> 00:40:09,667
I've only lost like two pounds.
855
00:40:09,667 --> 00:40:11,166
- But let's check the
percentage of body fat.
856
00:40:11,166 --> 00:40:12,875
Well, your weight is coming down.
857
00:40:12,875 --> 00:40:13,917
Losing weight is one thing.
858
00:40:13,917 --> 00:40:16,125
Losing body percentage
fat and getting your--
859
00:40:16,125 --> 00:40:17,250
- [Kenny] It's more important.
860
00:40:17,250 --> 00:40:18,959
- Yeah, getting your
BMI to the right level
861
00:40:18,959 --> 00:40:20,834
is where you wanna be, okay?
862
00:40:20,834 --> 00:40:22,208
- BMI, not just the BM.
863
00:40:22,208 --> 00:40:23,583
(laughing)
864
00:40:23,583 --> 00:40:26,333
- And now, mister comedian,
hop up on that table.
865
00:40:26,333 --> 00:40:28,583
(laughing)
866
00:40:31,250 --> 00:40:32,250
- Let's see.
867
00:40:32,250 --> 00:40:34,959
So, all these years, I've
been looking at myself,
868
00:40:34,959 --> 00:40:36,250
seeing myself in the mirror.
869
00:40:36,250 --> 00:40:38,834
And sometimes I stand there
and I feel like crying
870
00:40:38,834 --> 00:40:41,500
because it's like, who is
this person in the mirror?
871
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:42,333
It's disgusting.
872
00:40:42,333 --> 00:40:45,125
It really makes me
disgusted to look at myself.
873
00:40:45,125 --> 00:40:47,041
And when you look at yourself that way
874
00:40:47,041 --> 00:40:50,625
and you feel disgusted
by what you've become,
875
00:40:50,625 --> 00:40:51,542
then you know what?
876
00:40:51,542 --> 00:40:53,333
You gotta do something about it.
877
00:40:53,333 --> 00:40:55,375
This is just not something that's like,
878
00:40:55,375 --> 00:40:58,125
"Oh, hey, I'm big and fat."
879
00:40:58,125 --> 00:40:59,291
No, it's, "I'm fat
880
00:40:59,291 --> 00:41:01,291
"and now I've got to
do something about it,"
881
00:41:01,291 --> 00:41:04,917
because I'm gonna die
young; I'm gonna die.
882
00:41:07,375 --> 00:41:11,458
- This is the measurements
that we took last week.
883
00:41:11,458 --> 00:41:14,709
And your weight went down from 315 to 305,
884
00:41:14,709 --> 00:41:18,542
and that's simply because
you were burning muscle
885
00:41:18,542 --> 00:41:20,166
instead of body fat.
886
00:41:20,166 --> 00:41:21,709
So, that showed in your numbers.
887
00:41:21,709 --> 00:41:24,500
That's why your percentage
of body fat number went up,
888
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:25,959
even though your weight went down.
889
00:41:25,959 --> 00:41:26,792
- Okay?
- Okay.
890
00:41:26,792 --> 00:41:29,875
- Now, where we're at is today, okay?
891
00:41:30,792 --> 00:41:34,959
So, your weight is coming down
still, off of 305, all right?
892
00:41:36,083 --> 00:41:37,291
But what's even better
893
00:41:37,291 --> 00:41:39,792
is your percentage of body
fat's coming down, okay?
894
00:41:39,792 --> 00:41:42,625
So, it's gone from 58 now down to 54.
895
00:41:42,625 --> 00:41:43,417
- [Kenny] Very cool.
896
00:41:43,417 --> 00:41:44,250
- All right?
897
00:41:44,250 --> 00:41:46,875
So, you've sort of crossed this threshold.
898
00:41:46,875 --> 00:41:50,250
- (sighs) Sonia, you got
plugged in this time, huh?
899
00:41:50,250 --> 00:41:51,375
(laughing)
900
00:41:51,375 --> 00:41:52,417
- Yeah, it was easy!
901
00:41:52,417 --> 00:41:54,583
It wasn't no big deal at all.
902
00:41:54,583 --> 00:41:55,417
- Oh, that's good.
903
00:41:55,417 --> 00:41:59,083
- It was very relaxing, except
for the cramping. (laughs)
904
00:41:59,083 --> 00:42:01,083
- Yeah, you've dropped
some weight too, huh?
905
00:42:01,083 --> 00:42:02,417
- Yeah.
- Some weight.
906
00:42:02,417 --> 00:42:04,208
She's lost some paint sizes.
907
00:42:04,208 --> 00:42:05,041
- [Sonia] Yep.
908
00:42:05,041 --> 00:42:06,250
- So, that's good.
909
00:42:06,250 --> 00:42:09,500
Oh yeah, and my weight,
speaking of weight,
910
00:42:09,500 --> 00:42:12,041
I only lost like two pounds.
911
00:42:12,041 --> 00:42:12,917
- [Sonia] Really?
912
00:42:12,917 --> 00:42:13,750
- Yeah, that's it.
913
00:42:13,750 --> 00:42:14,709
- [Sonia] But your
stomach's gone done though.
914
00:42:14,709 --> 00:42:16,667
Look at, no more table.
915
00:42:16,667 --> 00:42:17,792
It's more like a slide, woo!
916
00:42:17,792 --> 00:42:19,291
- Yeah, exactly.
(Sonia laughs)
917
00:42:19,291 --> 00:42:22,959
But my fat percentage has gone down,
918
00:42:22,959 --> 00:42:25,250
like 4% or 5%.
919
00:42:25,250 --> 00:42:27,500
So, now that means that I'm burning fat
920
00:42:27,500 --> 00:42:30,333
more than I am burning
muscle now, so that's good,
921
00:42:30,333 --> 00:42:32,500
even though I'm still fat. (laughs)
922
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:36,667
("The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss II)
923
00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:40,500
I'm almost three weeks into this
924
00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:43,875
and I'm thinking of all the
ups and downs I've had so far.
925
00:42:43,875 --> 00:42:46,834
Wait, I still have how many days to go?
926
00:42:46,834 --> 00:42:49,750
Is there another rock or something?
927
00:42:51,583 --> 00:42:53,667
One, two, three.
928
00:42:53,667 --> 00:42:56,583
(straining)
929
00:42:56,583 --> 00:42:57,834
I'm getting it!
930
00:43:01,417 --> 00:43:03,750
(straining)
931
00:43:05,166 --> 00:43:06,625
(camera shutter clicks)
932
00:43:06,625 --> 00:43:08,208
Is that the close one or far away?
933
00:43:08,208 --> 00:43:09,041
- [Woman] Far away.
934
00:43:09,041 --> 00:43:10,250
- Now, do it a little closer.
935
00:43:10,250 --> 00:43:13,458
The things the Saylors
family does to get a picture.
936
00:43:13,458 --> 00:43:14,959
(laughs)
937
00:43:14,959 --> 00:43:15,750
Uh-oh.
938
00:43:16,792 --> 00:43:17,625
Ah, crap.
939
00:43:19,709 --> 00:43:22,000
(straining)
940
00:43:23,250 --> 00:43:24,083
Holy crap.
941
00:43:24,083 --> 00:43:26,333
(laughing)
942
00:43:31,166 --> 00:43:33,875
Ow, for the sake of a
stinkin' picture. (laughs)
943
00:43:33,875 --> 00:43:35,875
It's a cool picture
though, (laughs) I hope.
944
00:43:35,875 --> 00:43:37,709
How many overweight friends do you have
945
00:43:37,709 --> 00:43:39,959
compared to those that are in good shape?
946
00:43:39,959 --> 00:43:42,208
- Two overweight friends.
947
00:43:42,208 --> 00:43:43,792
- [Kenny] Okay, out of your close friends.
948
00:43:43,792 --> 00:43:44,834
What about family?
949
00:43:44,834 --> 00:43:45,792
How many of your immediate family?
950
00:43:45,792 --> 00:43:47,083
- Oh, my whole family is obese.
951
00:43:47,083 --> 00:43:48,291
(laughing)
952
00:43:48,291 --> 00:43:49,959
Aunties, uncles--
953
00:43:49,959 --> 00:43:51,792
- Everybody.
- And even parents.
954
00:43:51,792 --> 00:43:56,208
- Now, what would you say is
the most commonly eaten thing?
955
00:43:56,208 --> 00:43:57,625
Do they eat McDonald's or--
956
00:43:57,625 --> 00:43:58,417
- McDonald's.
- Yeah, McDonald's.
957
00:43:58,417 --> 00:44:00,250
- McDonald's?
958
00:44:00,250 --> 00:44:03,166
(light jazz music)
959
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:09,583
I was gonna tell you about
what happened last night.
960
00:44:09,583 --> 00:44:11,000
- [Paul] What happened?
961
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,667
- I get out and I go for a
walk and I get on the phone
962
00:44:13,667 --> 00:44:16,041
and I start talking to
make my phone calls,
963
00:44:16,041 --> 00:44:17,834
and I ended up down by Wilshire.
964
00:44:17,834 --> 00:44:20,333
I saw McDonald's and, all of a sudden,
965
00:44:20,333 --> 00:44:23,291
I wanted to go eat so badly.
966
00:44:23,291 --> 00:44:25,500
I mean, it was overwhelming.
967
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:27,625
I mean, the power of it was just like,
968
00:44:27,625 --> 00:44:31,166
I was literally standing
there on the corner going,
969
00:44:31,166 --> 00:44:33,083
"Kenny, Kenny, don't go down there."
970
00:44:33,083 --> 00:44:37,250
I wasn't hungry, but my mind
was just like craving the food.
971
00:44:37,250 --> 00:44:38,083
It hit me--
972
00:44:38,083 --> 00:44:38,917
- [Paul] It hit you hard.
973
00:44:38,917 --> 00:44:39,750
- It hit me bad, I mean,
974
00:44:39,750 --> 00:44:41,250
like the worst thing I've ever seen.
975
00:44:41,250 --> 00:44:44,208
And my body's going, "Okay,
haha, the joke's over,
976
00:44:44,208 --> 00:44:45,500
"now go eat," (laughs) you know?
977
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:48,083
"Go eat junk food," not
just eat but eat junk food.
978
00:44:48,083 --> 00:44:51,333
And so, it's like the addiction
is calling out to me now.
979
00:44:51,333 --> 00:44:53,834
I mean, it was insane.
980
00:44:53,834 --> 00:44:55,333
I don't even know how to explain it
981
00:44:55,333 --> 00:44:57,875
'cause I was just like,
it was crazy intense.
982
00:44:57,875 --> 00:45:00,625
(slow pop music)
983
00:45:05,542 --> 00:45:07,875
Day 21 is a milestone for me:
984
00:45:07,875 --> 00:45:10,542
the longest I've ever gone without food.
985
00:45:10,542 --> 00:45:13,875
I never imagined I could
feel this good by not eating.
986
00:45:13,875 --> 00:45:15,959
It's true what they
say that you feel light
987
00:45:15,959 --> 00:45:17,625
and connected with God.
988
00:45:17,625 --> 00:45:19,792
It's almost euphoric.
989
00:45:19,792 --> 00:45:21,959
I'm feeling inspired,
so I'm spending the day
990
00:45:21,959 --> 00:45:24,792
at my friend's place and
getting into my music.
991
00:45:24,792 --> 00:45:28,000
(light piano music)
992
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,375
Now that I'm not preoccupied
with food all the time,
993
00:45:31,375 --> 00:45:34,625
it's really given me the
ability to reevaluate my life,
994
00:45:34,625 --> 00:45:38,959
my priorities, my ambitions,
I want to change my life.
995
00:45:38,959 --> 00:45:41,291
I've had so many dreams that I set aside
996
00:45:41,291 --> 00:45:43,667
and just didn't pursue
because of my weight,
997
00:45:43,667 --> 00:45:46,041
because of my insecurities.
998
00:45:46,041 --> 00:45:49,792
Growing up, music was my life, my passion.
999
00:45:49,792 --> 00:45:53,208
One of my deepest regrets
is not pursuing that path.
1000
00:45:53,208 --> 00:45:57,041
I gave up on my dream
when I gave up on myself.
1001
00:45:57,041 --> 00:46:00,500
I can't let this weight
interfere with all that anymore.
1002
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:01,959
I also hope that what I'm doing
1003
00:46:01,959 --> 00:46:03,792
will somehow inspire others
1004
00:46:03,792 --> 00:46:05,959
to know that they can face their fat
1005
00:46:05,959 --> 00:46:08,917
and look beyond that barrier.
1006
00:46:08,917 --> 00:46:13,083
If you believe in yourself,
any dream is possible.
1007
00:46:14,250 --> 00:46:15,750
(upbeat piano music)
1008
00:46:15,750 --> 00:46:17,125
As we go, day 21,
1009
00:46:19,625 --> 00:46:23,166
which is supposed to be a
turning point for everything.
1010
00:46:23,166 --> 00:46:24,583
So, we shall see.
1011
00:46:29,125 --> 00:46:31,041
There's nothing like going back to nature
1012
00:46:31,041 --> 00:46:32,625
to help you get your mind off the fact
1013
00:46:32,625 --> 00:46:34,583
that you haven't eaten for a month.
1014
00:46:34,583 --> 00:46:36,709
Unfortunately, that's
not gonna happen today
1015
00:46:36,709 --> 00:46:39,333
because my friends have
invited me to a campground
1016
00:46:39,333 --> 00:46:43,041
for a barbecue, which is
my favorite kind of food.
1017
00:46:43,041 --> 00:46:44,834
Boy, this is gonna be tough.
1018
00:46:44,834 --> 00:46:46,750
I'm beginning to wonder
what kinda friends I have
1019
00:46:46,750 --> 00:46:49,291
that would put me through this torture.
1020
00:46:49,291 --> 00:46:53,667
This is the first time in my
whole entire life as a human
1021
00:46:53,667 --> 00:46:56,166
and life as something
that's not a human, (laughs)
1022
00:46:56,166 --> 00:46:59,125
I don't know what that is,
1023
00:46:59,125 --> 00:47:01,834
that I've ever been in
any camping situation
1024
00:47:01,834 --> 00:47:03,750
where I was not eating.
1025
00:47:04,667 --> 00:47:05,750
- [Man] How's it feel?
1026
00:47:05,750 --> 00:47:07,000
- It sucks.
1027
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,959
(upbeat pop music)
1028
00:47:23,959 --> 00:47:25,417
Well, last time I checked,
1029
00:47:25,417 --> 00:47:28,083
Iran's not known for their
barbecue, but Texas is!
1030
00:47:28,083 --> 00:47:29,583
That's right!
1031
00:47:29,583 --> 00:47:33,875
- 30 days of fasting, he's
trying to prove you could do it.
1032
00:47:33,875 --> 00:47:38,500
He's barbecuing for everybody,
but he's not gonna eat it.
1033
00:47:38,500 --> 00:47:41,875
- Ooh, it feels good to even touch food.
1034
00:47:43,333 --> 00:47:45,250
- [Man] Is that the first
time you've touched food?
1035
00:47:45,250 --> 00:47:46,083
- It is.
1036
00:47:47,959 --> 00:47:49,542
It feels good.
1037
00:47:49,542 --> 00:47:52,583
These do look like the best
hot dogs I've ever seen.
1038
00:47:52,583 --> 00:47:54,667
So, I was sitting there the
other day and I thought,
1039
00:47:54,667 --> 00:47:57,125
I was just curious and I said,
1040
00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:01,959
'cause there's gotta be a world
record for fasting, right?
1041
00:48:01,959 --> 00:48:04,291
And so, I just decided to go look online.
1042
00:48:04,291 --> 00:48:06,458
So, I went and typed in and looked online
1043
00:48:06,458 --> 00:48:09,083
and I saw that, apparently, David Blaine,
1044
00:48:09,083 --> 00:48:11,834
when he hung up in the Times Square thing,
1045
00:48:11,834 --> 00:48:13,166
he did it for 44 days.
1046
00:48:13,166 --> 00:48:17,583
So, some Russian dude did
it last year for 50 days.
1047
00:48:17,583 --> 00:48:20,834
And so, that's when I was
like, "Well, you know what?
1048
00:48:20,834 --> 00:48:23,125
"I'm doing it 40 days,
I'm doing pretty good.
1049
00:48:23,125 --> 00:48:25,959
"Why the crap not go for 55,"
1050
00:48:25,959 --> 00:48:27,792
just try to get the
world record, you know?
1051
00:48:27,792 --> 00:48:28,750
It'd be kinda cool to get in
1052
00:48:28,750 --> 00:48:30,834
the Guinness Book of World
Records, that'd be neat.
1053
00:48:30,834 --> 00:48:32,000
I thought the fast was supposed to
1054
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,333
turn me off to greasy stuff.
1055
00:48:35,208 --> 00:48:39,041
But, man, this food looks delish, man.
1056
00:48:39,041 --> 00:48:41,375
Oh, it smells so good.
1057
00:48:41,375 --> 00:48:43,834
Man, that's a lotta hot dogs.
1058
00:48:43,834 --> 00:48:44,875
Man.
1059
00:48:44,875 --> 00:48:46,875
And I can't have any of 'em.
1060
00:48:46,875 --> 00:48:50,291
(upbeat a capella music)
1061
00:49:12,834 --> 00:49:15,875
- [Man] Corn and potatoes
together, that's good.
1062
00:49:15,875 --> 00:49:16,709
(laughing)
1063
00:49:16,709 --> 00:49:20,375
- [Kenny] Look, there's
a bun on the ground.
1064
00:49:21,291 --> 00:49:23,125
(laughing)
1065
00:49:23,125 --> 00:49:24,500
- Yeah, the mashed potatoes good?
1066
00:49:24,500 --> 00:49:25,500
They look good too.
1067
00:49:25,500 --> 00:49:27,125
Everything looks good,
what am I talking about?
1068
00:49:27,125 --> 00:49:27,959
Crazy people.
1069
00:49:27,959 --> 00:49:30,917
(upbeat pop music)
1070
00:49:38,333 --> 00:49:40,792
I'm feeling it's time to
give Paul and Sonia a break,
1071
00:49:40,792 --> 00:49:43,709
so I'm gonna go spend a few
days at Jeremy and Alaina's.
1072
00:49:43,709 --> 00:49:44,959
They've heard about what I'm doing
1073
00:49:44,959 --> 00:49:45,959
and they're making an effort
1074
00:49:45,959 --> 00:49:48,458
to change their old
ways and eat healthier.
1075
00:49:48,458 --> 00:49:49,625
I haven't seen 'em in a while,
1076
00:49:49,625 --> 00:49:50,792
so it's gonna be good to catch up
1077
00:49:50,792 --> 00:49:53,792
and get their perspective on things.
1078
00:49:57,125 --> 00:49:59,500
- She inspired me to cleanse.
1079
00:49:59,500 --> 00:50:00,375
- So, we cut back on all our food.
1080
00:50:00,375 --> 00:50:03,834
- So, we have like one meal
a day and two shakes a day,
1081
00:50:03,834 --> 00:50:05,375
and, man, I was irritable
as hell. (Kenny laughs)
1082
00:50:05,375 --> 00:50:06,750
I was going off on her for no reason.
1083
00:50:06,750 --> 00:50:08,250
And I was like, "Damn, I'm
sorry, I didn't mean to."
1084
00:50:08,250 --> 00:50:09,625
I can only imagine if I
wasn't eating anything--
1085
00:50:09,625 --> 00:50:10,750
- Yeah, and that's the thing
1086
00:50:10,750 --> 00:50:12,625
is I'm getting where I'm
less irritable about things,
1087
00:50:12,625 --> 00:50:15,291
but then I just go through
moments of being real irritable.
1088
00:50:15,291 --> 00:50:17,625
- But they say there's so many women
1089
00:50:17,625 --> 00:50:18,625
who have a hard time losing weight
1090
00:50:18,625 --> 00:50:21,917
because there's so many
foods that mimic estrogen.
1091
00:50:21,917 --> 00:50:24,041
So, the body assumes that it has
1092
00:50:24,041 --> 00:50:26,000
too high of a dose of estrogen,
1093
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,750
which makes you store fat in your belly,
1094
00:50:28,750 --> 00:50:29,959
'cause the belly fat is where
1095
00:50:29,959 --> 00:50:32,667
it breaks down the estrogen or something.
1096
00:50:32,667 --> 00:50:34,083
So, they're storing a lot more fat
1097
00:50:34,083 --> 00:50:36,542
in their stomachs because
of the food we eat.
1098
00:50:36,542 --> 00:50:39,500
- And now I'm convinced that's
why there is so much sickness
1099
00:50:39,500 --> 00:50:41,583
in the United States and in the world
1100
00:50:41,583 --> 00:50:43,875
is because we are just
eating so much stuff.
1101
00:50:43,875 --> 00:50:45,667
And since the majority
of our immune system
1102
00:50:45,667 --> 00:50:50,000
is in our digestive system,
basically, you are what you eat.
1103
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,625
You eat junk food, you
eat fat and greasy food,
1104
00:50:52,625 --> 00:50:56,083
you'll be a fat and greasy dude.
1105
00:50:56,083 --> 00:50:56,959
(laughing)
1106
00:50:56,959 --> 00:51:00,333
(slow alternative music)
1107
00:51:01,667 --> 00:51:03,166
- Mmm, Cajun rice.
1108
00:51:04,834 --> 00:51:08,625
Yeah, and then, on top of it,
check it out, check it out,
1109
00:51:08,625 --> 00:51:11,000
jambalaya chicken, grilled.
1110
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Ooh!
1111
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,291
- [Kenny] Food is
everywhere: on TV, in movies,
1112
00:51:15,291 --> 00:51:18,000
in magazine ads, I see it everywhere I go.
1113
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,458
I just can't escape it.
1114
00:51:19,458 --> 00:51:21,208
The temptations are overwhelming,
1115
00:51:21,208 --> 00:51:24,083
especially with the smell of
food cooking all around me.
1116
00:51:24,083 --> 00:51:25,709
Now, with Jeremy taunting me,
1117
00:51:25,709 --> 00:51:28,000
it's enough to make me wanna
run out the front door,
1118
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,750
find the first fast food place I see
1119
00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:31,250
and order half the menu.
1120
00:51:31,250 --> 00:51:33,041
Food is like heroin to me.
1121
00:51:33,041 --> 00:51:36,333
My mouth waters as I envision
eating all that greasy food.
1122
00:51:36,333 --> 00:51:38,667
I mean, it's an addiction
that's so hard to overcome
1123
00:51:38,667 --> 00:51:41,917
because, no matter what,
you have to eat to live.
1124
00:51:41,917 --> 00:51:46,041
- Dinner is served! (laughs)
1125
00:51:46,041 --> 00:51:46,917
Round two.
1126
00:51:47,792 --> 00:51:49,166
- [Kenny] I'm so close to finishing,
1127
00:51:49,166 --> 00:51:51,875
I just have to hang in there.
1128
00:51:51,875 --> 00:51:53,875
(light acoustic guitar music)
1129
00:51:53,875 --> 00:51:55,041
I've been doing some research
1130
00:51:55,041 --> 00:51:56,583
and have really started to understand
1131
00:51:56,583 --> 00:51:59,083
the severity of this obesity epidemic.
1132
00:51:59,083 --> 00:52:00,959
I wondered if any of our elected officials
1133
00:52:00,959 --> 00:52:02,875
would be willing to talk to
me about what they're doing
1134
00:52:02,875 --> 00:52:05,041
to get this situation under control,
1135
00:52:05,041 --> 00:52:07,792
but I quickly found out
how much they cared.
1136
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:09,792
(phone ringing)
1137
00:52:09,792 --> 00:52:12,250
- [Voicemail] You have reached
President Clinton's office--
1138
00:52:12,250 --> 00:52:13,375
- [Voicemail] Arnold Schwarzenegger--
1139
00:52:13,375 --> 00:52:14,959
- [Voicemail] The White House
Office of Media Affairs--
1140
00:52:14,959 --> 00:52:16,083
- [Voicemail] You have
reached the scheduling office
1141
00:52:16,083 --> 00:52:16,959
of Hillary Clinton--
1142
00:52:16,959 --> 00:52:18,667
- [Voicemail] In order
to expedite your call,
1143
00:52:18,667 --> 00:52:20,959
please select from the following options.
1144
00:52:20,959 --> 00:52:22,208
- [Voicemail] Please press four.
1145
00:52:22,208 --> 00:52:23,625
- [Voicemail] Please press one now.
1146
00:52:23,625 --> 00:52:25,041
- [Voicemail] Your call
will be transferred. (beep)
1147
00:52:25,041 --> 00:52:27,750
(phone ringing)
1148
00:52:28,959 --> 00:52:30,333
- [Man On Phone] Governor's office.
1149
00:52:30,333 --> 00:52:31,458
- Yes, could I speak to someone
1150
00:52:31,458 --> 00:52:33,250
in the scheduling department, please?
1151
00:52:33,250 --> 00:52:35,667
I had submitted a request for an interview
1152
00:52:35,667 --> 00:52:37,542
about a month-and-a-half
ago to two months ago.
1153
00:52:37,542 --> 00:52:38,375
- [Man On Phone] Okay.
1154
00:52:38,375 --> 00:52:40,625
- I'm calling about a scheduling request
1155
00:52:40,625 --> 00:52:42,750
or interview request that I had submitted
1156
00:52:42,750 --> 00:52:44,875
about a month-and-a-half ago,
1157
00:52:44,875 --> 00:52:46,333
and I was just calling to follow up
1158
00:52:46,333 --> 00:52:48,041
and see the status of that request.
1159
00:52:48,041 --> 00:52:49,542
They keep telling me
they're gonna call me back,
1160
00:52:49,542 --> 00:52:51,458
but no one ever does.
1161
00:52:51,458 --> 00:52:53,667
- [Operator] Please hold
for the following options.
1162
00:52:53,667 --> 00:52:55,041
(dial tone)
1163
00:52:55,041 --> 00:52:55,959
- Hello?
1164
00:52:55,959 --> 00:52:57,667
- [Woman On Phone]
President Clinton's office.
1165
00:52:57,667 --> 00:53:00,875
- Yes, I'm calling about
a interview request
1166
00:53:00,875 --> 00:53:05,000
that I sent in about a
month-and-a-half ago.
1167
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:05,834
- [Woman On Phone] Well, all right.
1168
00:53:05,834 --> 00:53:06,917
Actually, you're connected
1169
00:53:06,917 --> 00:53:07,959
to the scheduling department right now,
1170
00:53:07,959 --> 00:53:09,375
so let me transfer you over to press.
1171
00:53:09,375 --> 00:53:10,208
(phone ringing)
1172
00:53:10,208 --> 00:53:12,041
- [Man On Phone] When did you submit it?
1173
00:53:12,041 --> 00:53:13,875
- About a month-and-a-half,
two months ago.
1174
00:53:13,875 --> 00:53:17,083
I submitted about a
month-and-a-half to two months ago
1175
00:53:17,083 --> 00:53:20,083
and I have not heard any response.
1176
00:53:20,083 --> 00:53:22,959
- [Man On Phone] I couldn't
personally identify
1177
00:53:22,959 --> 00:53:24,542
what happened to it or at what stage it is
1178
00:53:24,542 --> 00:53:27,792
during the process, but if
you'd like to fax it to us again
1179
00:53:27,792 --> 00:53:31,750
and mark it urgent, then
that might be helpful.
1180
00:53:31,750 --> 00:53:33,000
- [Woman On Phone] Okay, well let me talk
1181
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,500
to people in that department,
1182
00:53:34,500 --> 00:53:36,375
and hopefully we can get back to you
1183
00:53:36,375 --> 00:53:38,834
maybe by the end of the week.
1184
00:53:40,417 --> 00:53:42,709
- [Man On Phone] Yeah, I'm not sure.
1185
00:53:42,709 --> 00:53:46,125
I mean, I don't handle
the scheduling stuff.
1186
00:53:46,125 --> 00:53:50,166
But I can transfer you
over to that department--
1187
00:53:50,166 --> 00:53:51,000
- That'd be great.
- If you'd like.
1188
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,709
- Yeah, that'd be great.
1189
00:53:52,709 --> 00:53:54,250
- [Man On Phone] Hold on one sec.
1190
00:53:54,250 --> 00:53:55,083
(phone ringing)
1191
00:53:55,083 --> 00:53:56,166
(laughing)
1192
00:53:56,166 --> 00:53:57,125
(beep)
1193
00:53:57,125 --> 00:53:59,291
- Hello, Pam, this is Kenny Saylors.
1194
00:53:59,291 --> 00:54:02,000
We spoke about a month ago in regards
1195
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,667
to an interview request
for Vice President Al Gore
1196
00:54:05,667 --> 00:54:07,959
for a documentary about
the obesity epidemic.
1197
00:54:07,959 --> 00:54:11,583
Thank you very much and I
look forward to your call.
1198
00:54:11,583 --> 00:54:12,625
Oh yeah, good day, mate.
1199
00:54:12,625 --> 00:54:13,458
No, I'm just kidding. (laughs)
1200
00:54:13,458 --> 00:54:15,625
I didn't say that.
1201
00:54:15,625 --> 00:54:18,417
Since none of the politicians
wanted to talk to me,
1202
00:54:18,417 --> 00:54:20,083
I figured I'd try to meet with the authors
1203
00:54:20,083 --> 00:54:22,875
of a book I'd read, Thin from Within,
1204
00:54:22,875 --> 00:54:24,500
to get some advice on how to change
1205
00:54:24,500 --> 00:54:26,583
the way I think about food.
1206
00:54:26,583 --> 00:54:28,208
Okay, so I see some of these people
1207
00:54:28,208 --> 00:54:30,500
who are weighing like
800 pounds and stuff.
1208
00:54:30,500 --> 00:54:35,041
How does somebody let
themselves get that big?
1209
00:54:35,041 --> 00:54:36,458
What do you say in that situation?
1210
00:54:36,458 --> 00:54:38,041
- I would think there would be something
1211
00:54:38,041 --> 00:54:42,208
emotionally really, really
traumatic that has occurred.
1212
00:54:46,500 --> 00:54:48,667
The thing is there's a lotta different,
1213
00:54:48,667 --> 00:54:51,250
there's alcohol, there's
drugs, there's sex,
1214
00:54:51,250 --> 00:54:52,959
there's all these addictions,
1215
00:54:52,959 --> 00:54:55,875
and people can kind of
do them behind the closet
1216
00:54:55,875 --> 00:54:58,125
and you stay thin.
1217
00:54:58,125 --> 00:55:02,000
But here, you have somebody
who's addicted to food
1218
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,750
and their body's getting
bigger and everyone knows.
1219
00:55:04,750 --> 00:55:06,500
- Once you're at that weight,
1220
00:55:06,500 --> 00:55:09,792
it's gonna take so long to
get back to where you are
1221
00:55:09,792 --> 00:55:11,333
that it's really hard to get motivated
1222
00:55:11,333 --> 00:55:12,875
to change your behaviors.
1223
00:55:12,875 --> 00:55:14,250
- And I can totally understand that.
1224
00:55:14,250 --> 00:55:16,792
- And, it's interesting,
probably in your fast,
1225
00:55:16,792 --> 00:55:18,625
you sorta have to get a life in a way.
1226
00:55:18,625 --> 00:55:22,834
It's like all that mental
space that's occupied by foods
1227
00:55:22,834 --> 00:55:25,291
and thinking about, "When am I gonna eat?
1228
00:55:25,291 --> 00:55:26,667
"Hmm, what would be good for lunch?
1229
00:55:26,667 --> 00:55:28,000
"What would be good for a snack?"
1230
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,834
All of a sudden, it's like,
"Well, let me get a life.
1231
00:55:30,834 --> 00:55:32,875
"Let me figure out what are my dreams?"
1232
00:55:32,875 --> 00:55:36,500
- In our culture, that food
is such a coping mechanism,
1233
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:39,542
especially for kinda
the good guys, you know?
1234
00:55:39,542 --> 00:55:42,959
Because you could either do
drugs, you could do alcohol,
1235
00:55:42,959 --> 00:55:44,625
but with food you can still function,
1236
00:55:44,625 --> 00:55:46,750
you can still work, you can
still take care of your family.
1237
00:55:46,750 --> 00:55:47,834
- And it's not illegal anywhere. (laughs)
1238
00:55:47,834 --> 00:55:49,834
- [Marna] It's not illegal, that's right.
1239
00:55:49,834 --> 00:55:51,333
- So, and you're only harming yourself,
1240
00:55:51,333 --> 00:55:52,709
you're not hurting anyone else.
1241
00:55:52,709 --> 00:55:55,166
So, there are some people
that can go on a diet,
1242
00:55:55,166 --> 00:55:56,875
lose weight, and stay with it, you know?
1243
00:55:56,875 --> 00:56:01,000
And be okay with weighing
food and counting calories.
1244
00:56:02,041 --> 00:56:05,041
So many people that we
talk to and work with
1245
00:56:05,041 --> 00:56:07,959
that have spent their life, really,
1246
00:56:07,959 --> 00:56:10,625
being so focused on their body and food
1247
00:56:10,625 --> 00:56:12,625
that they haven't lived.
1248
00:56:21,333 --> 00:56:24,750
- And I discovered today
while putting on my pants,
1249
00:56:24,750 --> 00:56:26,709
these pants were tight
on me, very tight on me,
1250
00:56:26,709 --> 00:56:31,417
whenever I first began, and
now they're extremely baggy.
1251
00:56:31,417 --> 00:56:33,875
So, I've apparently lost
a lotta weight in my legs.
1252
00:56:33,875 --> 00:56:35,750
I had pretty chunky legs, I guess.
1253
00:56:35,750 --> 00:56:39,959
And also, there's how much
weight has gone down on my hips
1254
00:56:41,375 --> 00:56:42,583
from when I was heavy.
1255
00:56:42,583 --> 00:56:43,917
I mean, that's a lot.
1256
00:56:43,917 --> 00:56:46,709
I'm actually pretty shocked
about that myself, dang!
1257
00:56:46,709 --> 00:56:48,709
And I have a long way to go still,
1258
00:56:48,709 --> 00:56:51,333
I got a lotta days left,
so that's excellent.
1259
00:56:51,333 --> 00:56:53,333
But the greatest part is
1260
00:56:53,333 --> 00:56:55,250
I never have to wear these pants again.
1261
00:56:55,250 --> 00:56:57,083
- [Jeremy] That's right.
(laughing)
1262
00:56:57,083 --> 00:56:57,959
You can get a whole new wardrobe!
1263
00:56:57,959 --> 00:56:59,750
- I know, gotta go buy new clothes now.
1264
00:56:59,750 --> 00:57:00,709
- [Jeremy] Baggy jeans.
1265
00:57:00,709 --> 00:57:01,834
- I know.
1266
00:57:01,834 --> 00:57:05,125
See, I got my necklace
and I got the baggy pants.
1267
00:57:05,125 --> 00:57:07,000
This is my gangster starter kit, yo.
1268
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:08,041
- [Jeremy] Homie K! (laughs)
1269
00:57:08,041 --> 00:57:09,542
- What's up?
- K-Dog!
1270
00:57:09,542 --> 00:57:13,291
- Straight up, player,
don't be hatin' on me.
1271
00:57:14,208 --> 00:57:15,625
I talked to some people on the streets
1272
00:57:15,625 --> 00:57:18,250
to get their views on
the subject of weight.
1273
00:57:18,250 --> 00:57:21,250
- I've lost 30 pounds
in the last two months.
1274
00:57:21,250 --> 00:57:22,041
- Really, man?
1275
00:57:22,041 --> 00:57:23,583
That's excellent, man.
1276
00:57:23,583 --> 00:57:24,417
- [Man] Doing what?
1277
00:57:24,417 --> 00:57:25,208
- [Kenny] Yeah, how did you do that?
1278
00:57:25,208 --> 00:57:26,041
- [Man] Eating or working out?
1279
00:57:26,041 --> 00:57:27,834
- Changed my eating style.
- Eating?
1280
00:57:27,834 --> 00:57:29,542
- From eating the way you
were to eating healthy,
1281
00:57:29,542 --> 00:57:31,625
what's the hardest thing
you've found as being a change?
1282
00:57:31,625 --> 00:57:34,208
- Just not waking up at night
and grabbing the wrong things.
1283
00:57:34,208 --> 00:57:36,083
You know, instead of grabbing a sandwich
1284
00:57:36,083 --> 00:57:38,959
or something like that, I'll
take a piece of fruit or--
1285
00:57:38,959 --> 00:57:40,291
- Yeah, smart.
- You know, grapes,
1286
00:57:40,291 --> 00:57:41,667
or whatever fruit.
1287
00:57:41,667 --> 00:57:46,458
I started buying more
stuff like that, more fish.
1288
00:57:46,458 --> 00:57:47,375
- Oh, that's great.
1289
00:57:47,375 --> 00:57:48,875
- [Man] What do you think,
in your honest opinion,
1290
00:57:48,875 --> 00:57:52,208
about a guy doing a 50-day, 55-day fast,
1291
00:57:52,208 --> 00:57:53,792
setting a world record?
1292
00:57:53,792 --> 00:57:56,083
- I think it's great,
if you live through it.
1293
00:57:56,083 --> 00:57:57,750
- It was difficult to get people to talk
1294
00:57:57,750 --> 00:58:00,959
on camera about obesity unless
they themselves were thin
1295
00:58:00,959 --> 00:58:03,166
or were in the process of losing weight.
1296
00:58:03,166 --> 00:58:04,834
It made me realize how afraid
1297
00:58:04,834 --> 00:58:08,625
and uncomfortable people
are about this issue.
1298
00:58:10,291 --> 00:58:13,250
- I just feel so bad eating
in front of Kenny, (laughs)
1299
00:58:13,250 --> 00:58:15,041
but it has to be done.
1300
00:58:15,041 --> 00:58:17,000
- It's obvious they feel very bad about it
1301
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,500
as they're going (chewing).
1302
00:58:18,500 --> 00:58:19,291
- [Jeremy] Are you done with that crust?
1303
00:58:19,291 --> 00:58:20,125
- It's coming out of their mouths.
1304
00:58:20,125 --> 00:58:22,417
(laughing)
1305
00:58:25,667 --> 00:58:27,542
Never thought I'd get so tired of water.
1306
00:58:27,542 --> 00:58:30,709
But when it's all you have,
you just really get sick of it.
1307
00:58:30,709 --> 00:58:34,959
It's weird, when you're
just around people,
1308
00:58:34,959 --> 00:58:38,083
people talk about food all the time.
1309
00:58:38,083 --> 00:58:43,041
I would venture to say
that, oh, 70% to 75%
1310
00:58:43,041 --> 00:58:46,625
of everyone's conversation
revolves around food.
1311
00:58:46,625 --> 00:58:47,667
And I know that sounds like
1312
00:58:47,667 --> 00:58:49,959
a far-stretching statement to make,
1313
00:58:49,959 --> 00:58:52,166
but, man, when you're not eating,
1314
00:58:52,166 --> 00:58:54,959
everything related to
food jumps out at you.
1315
00:58:54,959 --> 00:58:57,083
And then, when people talk
about, everywhere we go,
1316
00:58:57,083 --> 00:58:58,959
people are like, "Oh, I like
this, I like that," you know?
1317
00:58:58,959 --> 00:59:00,583
It's just, really, it's crazy.
1318
00:59:00,583 --> 00:59:03,458
(light dreamlike music)
1319
00:59:03,458 --> 00:59:05,125
I'm at my breaking point.
1320
00:59:05,125 --> 00:59:08,625
I'm physically, emotionally,
and spiritually exhausted.
1321
00:59:08,625 --> 00:59:10,959
How much longer can I keep doing this?
1322
00:59:10,959 --> 00:59:13,083
I'm almost at the end
of it, or I would be,
1323
00:59:13,083 --> 00:59:17,375
but now I'm trying to
break a world record.
1324
00:59:17,375 --> 00:59:20,959
I'm way, well, way into
the whole fast now.
1325
00:59:23,500 --> 00:59:26,291
I mean, I'm like, I'm nearing on,
1326
00:59:26,291 --> 00:59:28,959
I don't know, 30-something days.
1327
00:59:29,875 --> 00:59:31,125
You lose count after a while,
1328
00:59:31,125 --> 00:59:34,208
even though I keep track of it all.
1329
00:59:34,208 --> 00:59:36,792
Today, I went up with Jeremy and Alaina
1330
00:59:36,792 --> 00:59:38,542
and we played tennis.
1331
00:59:39,417 --> 00:59:43,000
I was so exhausted when I
got back, I just crashed out.
1332
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,083
I just took a shower and laid down.
1333
00:59:45,083 --> 00:59:46,291
I've just been like blah.
1334
00:59:46,291 --> 00:59:47,208
I mean, I could barely even
1335
00:59:47,208 --> 00:59:50,166
walk up the stairs here, I was so tired.
1336
00:59:50,166 --> 00:59:52,417
I vomited and I'm like,
what's there to vomit?
1337
00:59:52,417 --> 00:59:54,667
I've got nothing in my stomach.
1338
00:59:54,667 --> 00:59:57,583
And it was weird because it was pink.
1339
00:59:57,583 --> 00:59:59,959
I guess it was just stomach
acid, that's all I did.
1340
00:59:59,959 --> 01:00:03,291
But, so it's a word of caution out there.
1341
01:00:03,291 --> 01:00:07,500
I gotta make sure not to
go crazy like that no more.
1342
01:00:09,166 --> 01:00:12,250
I need to really be
careful because, you know,
1343
01:00:12,250 --> 01:00:13,583
it hit me today and I was like,
1344
01:00:13,583 --> 01:00:16,917
man, I gotta be careful on the exercise.
1345
01:00:18,959 --> 01:00:20,125
What am I doing?
1346
01:00:20,125 --> 01:00:22,583
Have I lost sight of my goal?
1347
01:00:22,583 --> 01:00:24,083
Is going for the world record
1348
01:00:24,083 --> 01:00:26,375
really more important
to me than my health,
1349
01:00:26,375 --> 01:00:28,458
than my well-being?
1350
01:00:28,458 --> 01:00:31,041
What am I trying to prove to myself?
1351
01:00:31,041 --> 01:00:34,375
(light dreamlike music)
1352
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,709
These past few days, I've
been reevaluating my life
1353
01:00:42,709 --> 01:00:44,375
and the direction I've been going.
1354
01:00:44,375 --> 01:00:45,583
I've realized that I've put off
1355
01:00:45,583 --> 01:00:48,083
pursuing a music career for way too long.
1356
01:00:48,083 --> 01:00:50,291
Songwriting is my outlet.
1357
01:00:50,291 --> 01:00:54,375
It's my way of expressing
my emotions, good or bad.
1358
01:00:54,375 --> 01:00:55,750
I'm going back to doing the things
1359
01:00:55,750 --> 01:00:57,834
that make me feel good about myself
1360
01:00:57,834 --> 01:00:59,041
and I'm gonna pursue my dream.
1361
01:00:59,041 --> 01:01:02,166
(rock music)
1362
01:01:02,166 --> 01:01:06,125
- [L.] Okay, the nurse is on her way up.
1363
01:01:06,125 --> 01:01:07,083
- The weigh-in.
1364
01:01:07,083 --> 01:01:07,959
- [L.] Are you ready for your weigh-in?
1365
01:01:07,959 --> 01:01:08,834
- Yeah, I know, I'm excited.
1366
01:01:08,834 --> 01:01:10,375
- [L.] I'm so excited!
1367
01:01:10,375 --> 01:01:11,709
I told you, you might grow through.
1368
01:01:11,709 --> 01:01:13,542
We should measure you after.
1369
01:01:13,542 --> 01:01:14,959
That's one thing that
might actually be nice
1370
01:01:14,959 --> 01:01:17,291
of those side effects.
1371
01:01:17,291 --> 01:01:19,375
Go ahead and step off.
1372
01:01:19,375 --> 01:01:22,125
And, ladies and gentlemen, 274.4!
1373
01:01:24,166 --> 01:01:26,959
- So, that would mean I've lost 41 pounds.
1374
01:01:26,959 --> 01:01:28,834
I got a lot of excess still to go.
1375
01:01:28,834 --> 01:01:32,125
- Wow, your body mass index is now 41.6.
1376
01:01:33,667 --> 01:01:35,792
Oh, my friend, you are going
in the right direction.
1377
01:01:35,792 --> 01:01:37,208
- Yeah, 41 pounds.
1378
01:01:37,208 --> 01:01:38,041
- That's pretty good.
- Pretty impressive, huh?
1379
01:01:38,041 --> 01:01:39,583
- Yeah.
1380
01:01:39,583 --> 01:01:43,041
I saw a magazine the other
day, it was on there.
1381
01:01:43,041 --> 01:01:46,542
And the cover says she lost
30 pounds in three months
1382
01:01:46,542 --> 01:01:48,709
and I was like, "Ahh."
(laughing)
1383
01:01:48,709 --> 01:01:52,291
- But your body mass index
when you started was about 48,
1384
01:01:52,291 --> 01:01:57,291
which is pretty extreme,
and now it's down to 41.6
1385
01:01:57,291 --> 01:01:59,208
So, you're doing tremendous.
1386
01:01:59,208 --> 01:02:02,000
The fat was nearly 58%,
1387
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,208
that's where I was
getting that number from,
1388
01:02:04,208 --> 01:02:06,500
and now that's down to about 50%.
1389
01:02:06,500 --> 01:02:07,709
- Oh, okay.
- Okay?
1390
01:02:07,709 --> 01:02:08,625
So, you're doing amazing progress.
1391
01:02:08,625 --> 01:02:11,667
- That's still a lot, but
it's better. (laughing)
1392
01:02:11,667 --> 01:02:13,792
- I'm really amazed at
how well you're doing.
1393
01:02:13,792 --> 01:02:15,166
I really am.
1394
01:02:15,166 --> 01:02:16,583
I mean, I think it's great
1395
01:02:16,583 --> 01:02:17,792
that we're doing these treatments,
1396
01:02:17,792 --> 01:02:20,500
but it's a lot attributed to you.
1397
01:02:20,500 --> 01:02:23,291
- Yeah, well, I'll be honest,
I'm quite shocked myself.
1398
01:02:23,291 --> 01:02:24,750
(laughing)
1399
01:02:24,750 --> 01:02:27,834
- And what is this about
trying to break the record?
1400
01:02:27,834 --> 01:02:29,375
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.
1401
01:02:29,375 --> 01:02:32,750
- Yeah, I just wanna go
in, and it's 50 days.
1402
01:02:32,750 --> 01:02:35,542
So I figured, well, I'm
doing 40 and I'm doing good,
1403
01:02:35,542 --> 01:02:38,792
I'm not freaking out about it or anything.
1404
01:02:38,792 --> 01:02:41,291
- Right, and now you're gonna push it to?
1405
01:02:41,291 --> 01:02:42,125
- 15.
1406
01:02:43,125 --> 01:02:44,834
15 more days, yeah.
1407
01:02:44,834 --> 01:02:48,542
- So, a total of 55 days of water fasting?
1408
01:02:48,542 --> 01:02:49,542
- [Kenny] Yep.
1409
01:02:49,542 --> 01:02:51,500
Might as well go to the extreme with it.
1410
01:02:51,500 --> 01:02:53,709
- That's stunning.
- Yeah.
1411
01:02:53,709 --> 01:02:55,166
- I know, of course, we're gonna have to
1412
01:02:55,166 --> 01:02:58,208
get some clearance with Dr. Ghaly.
1413
01:02:58,208 --> 01:02:59,250
- [Kenny] Right.
(laughs)
1414
01:02:59,250 --> 01:03:01,083
- No, really, we'll check you out,
1415
01:03:01,083 --> 01:03:02,792
make sure everything is good.
1416
01:03:02,792 --> 01:03:05,625
And I just wanna say I
think you're doing amazing.
1417
01:03:05,625 --> 01:03:07,166
- Oh, well, thank you.
- Absolutely amazing.
1418
01:03:07,166 --> 01:03:09,250
And if it was anyone else
in any other condition,
1419
01:03:09,250 --> 01:03:11,583
there's no way they could
push for that record.
1420
01:03:11,583 --> 01:03:15,792
But because of where you're
at, I think you could do it.
1421
01:03:17,750 --> 01:03:21,500
- Well, it is now day
40 of my original fast.
1422
01:03:25,834 --> 01:03:29,792
However, since we discovered
during the fasting process
1423
01:03:29,792 --> 01:03:32,959
that the world record was actually 50,
1424
01:03:35,166 --> 01:03:38,000
this means 40 is just another day,
1425
01:03:40,041 --> 01:03:42,291
which kinda sucks.
1426
01:03:42,291 --> 01:03:45,041
But day 40 has now come and gone,
1427
01:03:47,500 --> 01:03:50,291
(laughs) so what do I do?
1428
01:03:50,291 --> 01:03:54,000
So, Sonia went and made me a nice little
1429
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,041
15 more days to the world record chart.
1430
01:03:57,041 --> 01:04:00,250
So, tomorrow, I get to begin my day 41
1431
01:04:02,709 --> 01:04:05,709
to my final 55 days to break the record.
1432
01:04:05,709 --> 01:04:09,291
So, this is the new addendum to the thing.
1433
01:04:09,291 --> 01:04:13,000
(upbeat pop music)
1434
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:14,583
I'm getting near the end of my fast
1435
01:04:14,583 --> 01:04:16,542
and Sonia's already finished with hers,
1436
01:04:16,542 --> 01:04:18,834
so we decided to arrange
for a group of friends
1437
01:04:18,834 --> 01:04:20,542
to come together and talk about
1438
01:04:20,542 --> 01:04:21,834
everything we've been dealing with
1439
01:04:21,834 --> 01:04:24,875
and learning about these
past several weeks.
1440
01:04:24,875 --> 01:04:27,417
Whenever I told people I was
gonna go fasting for 40 days,
1441
01:04:27,417 --> 01:04:29,208
they were like, "What are you, crazy?"
1442
01:04:29,208 --> 01:04:31,542
Even I had a doctor tell me,
"So, do you have a death wish?"
1443
01:04:31,542 --> 01:04:32,500
(laughing)
1444
01:04:32,500 --> 01:04:36,208
- Don't you miss a good taco or guacamole?
1445
01:04:36,208 --> 01:04:38,083
(laughing)
1446
01:04:38,083 --> 01:04:42,291
- No, it's funny because I
really don't think about it.
1447
01:04:43,458 --> 01:04:47,041
Like right now, it's actually
gonna be as hard for me
1448
01:04:47,041 --> 01:04:49,583
to go back to eating as
it was for me to stop.
1449
01:04:49,583 --> 01:04:51,333
- How did that affect you?
1450
01:04:51,333 --> 01:04:52,625
You look great, but I mean--
1451
01:04:52,625 --> 01:04:54,041
- I feel so good now.
1452
01:04:54,041 --> 01:04:56,917
And I lost 40 pounds and I
still had to make Paul food.
1453
01:04:56,917 --> 01:05:00,500
And I was never starving,
but on the fifth day,
1454
01:05:00,500 --> 01:05:02,458
I really wanted fried chicken.
1455
01:05:02,458 --> 01:05:03,375
(laughing)
1456
01:05:03,375 --> 01:05:05,083
And then, that kinda went away.
1457
01:05:05,083 --> 01:05:07,458
But I think it's 'cause I kept watching TV
1458
01:05:07,458 --> 01:05:08,500
and I was watching food network.
1459
01:05:08,500 --> 01:05:09,375
- [Woman] And commercials.
1460
01:05:09,375 --> 01:05:10,917
- Commercials!
1461
01:05:10,917 --> 01:05:14,375
(suspenseful eerie music)
1462
01:05:24,250 --> 01:05:26,458
- When you're overweight,
you're vulnerable to people
1463
01:05:26,458 --> 01:05:28,542
in public that don't even know you.
1464
01:05:28,542 --> 01:05:30,291
And they'll judge you
or say comments to you
1465
01:05:30,291 --> 01:05:33,291
that are so hurtful that
they don't really know
1466
01:05:33,291 --> 01:05:34,917
you already know this about yourself;
1467
01:05:34,917 --> 01:05:36,834
you don't need to hear it.
1468
01:05:36,834 --> 01:05:37,959
- Does it make you more unsocial?
1469
01:05:37,959 --> 01:05:39,125
That's what I wanna know.
1470
01:05:39,125 --> 01:05:42,917
Do you feel like, "Maybe
I shouldn't go out?"
1471
01:05:52,458 --> 01:05:56,083
Imagine what happens to the
kids, let's talk about that.
1472
01:05:56,083 --> 01:05:58,959
Let's talk about, a person's overweight,
1473
01:05:58,959 --> 01:06:00,458
so they discipline they have
1474
01:06:00,458 --> 01:06:03,834
in the refrigerator
reflects on their kids.
1475
01:06:03,834 --> 01:06:06,917
- It's that learned behavior
that we were talking about.
1476
01:06:06,917 --> 01:06:10,125
- It's also kids, you've got
companies like McDonald's
1477
01:06:10,125 --> 01:06:13,000
that equals toys and play land, you know?
1478
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,041
And that's burger and fries, McDonald's.
1479
01:06:15,041 --> 01:06:16,709
So, even when you become an adult,
1480
01:06:16,709 --> 01:06:20,875
there's still that subconscious,
"Play land," you know?
1481
01:06:22,291 --> 01:06:25,792
(suspenseful eerie music)
1482
01:06:31,208 --> 01:06:32,834
- It must've been really
extremely hard for you
1483
01:06:32,834 --> 01:06:36,250
because you came from a fairly
slim guy from high school,
1484
01:06:36,250 --> 01:06:37,083
looking good.
1485
01:06:37,083 --> 01:06:37,959
- [Kenny] Yeah, very thin.
1486
01:06:37,959 --> 01:06:39,291
Boy, she knew me in high school.
1487
01:06:39,291 --> 01:06:41,208
- My image of Kenny was dancing,
1488
01:06:41,208 --> 01:06:44,542
performing on stage, singing,
this thin little guy.
1489
01:06:44,542 --> 01:06:46,083
- As you start letting
yourself go mentally,
1490
01:06:46,083 --> 01:06:47,917
you start saying, "Well, it's okay."
1491
01:06:47,917 --> 01:06:48,709
Is that what you did?
1492
01:06:48,709 --> 01:06:50,041
In your mind, you convinced yourself?
1493
01:06:50,041 --> 01:06:52,917
- I started saying,
"What's another hamburger?
1494
01:06:52,917 --> 01:06:54,375
"I already weigh this much.
1495
01:06:54,375 --> 01:06:56,291
"If I eat one more, it's easy.
1496
01:06:56,291 --> 01:06:57,542
"And I'm not worried about it,
1497
01:06:57,542 --> 01:06:59,834
"I'll just eat one more and
then I'll start tomorrow."
1498
01:06:59,834 --> 01:07:02,041
I can't tell you how many
Mondays I've had in my life.
1499
01:07:02,041 --> 01:07:03,166
"I'm gonna start on Monday."
1500
01:07:03,166 --> 01:07:05,667
- [Man] I think after
today, I will change my way.
1501
01:07:05,667 --> 01:07:07,166
You guys have been an inspiration.
1502
01:07:07,166 --> 01:07:08,542
("Star Spangled Banner")
1503
01:07:08,542 --> 01:07:11,083
- Hollywood attracts tourists
from all over the world.
1504
01:07:11,083 --> 01:07:12,333
I was curious what they thought
1505
01:07:12,333 --> 01:07:15,417
about the eating habits of Americans.
1506
01:07:16,500 --> 01:07:19,583
Ah, welcome to Hollywood, right?
1507
01:07:19,583 --> 01:07:21,959
We're on Hollywood Boulevard.
1508
01:07:50,291 --> 01:07:51,750
- And vegetables.
1509
01:07:55,125 --> 01:07:57,291
We eat a lot of vegetable.
1510
01:08:08,542 --> 01:08:09,625
- It's heavy.
1511
01:08:29,083 --> 01:08:30,333
- I met a girl the other day
1512
01:08:30,333 --> 01:08:32,333
whose father is both a cardiologist
1513
01:08:32,333 --> 01:08:34,375
and a professional bodybuilder.
1514
01:08:34,375 --> 01:08:36,000
I thought it would be really interesting
1515
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:37,583
to get his viewpoint on fasting
1516
01:08:37,583 --> 01:08:40,375
and the best way for me to get healthy.
1517
01:08:40,375 --> 01:08:41,959
Now, these are your
pictures here of your--
1518
01:08:41,959 --> 01:08:44,291
- [Howard] Yeah, those
are some of my pictures.
1519
01:08:44,291 --> 01:08:46,166
Those two, I placed first,
1520
01:08:46,166 --> 01:08:50,667
and that was my first
competition, about nine years ago.
1521
01:08:50,667 --> 01:08:54,417
My goal was to place in the
top five for the Masters
1522
01:08:54,417 --> 01:08:56,375
nationwide in my age group.
1523
01:08:56,375 --> 01:08:58,542
- Were you a doctor first
or a bodybuilder first?
1524
01:08:58,542 --> 01:09:00,834
- I was a doctor first, but
I've always been interested
1525
01:09:00,834 --> 01:09:04,709
in nutrition and sports,
athletics and so forth.
1526
01:09:04,709 --> 01:09:06,750
I still am a cardiologist, an internist,
1527
01:09:06,750 --> 01:09:09,500
but I kinda look outside the box.
1528
01:09:10,375 --> 01:09:12,750
Because, really, obesity is an epidemic
1529
01:09:12,750 --> 01:09:16,583
and it certainly, certainly
affects heart health.
1530
01:09:16,583 --> 01:09:18,500
What really frightens me
1531
01:09:18,500 --> 01:09:20,083
is what's happened to the children today.
1532
01:09:20,083 --> 01:09:23,375
I mean, we have young school-age children
1533
01:09:23,375 --> 01:09:27,917
that are developing adult onset
diabetes because of obesity
1534
01:09:27,917 --> 01:09:32,291
and the fact that these
children are just not active.
1535
01:09:32,291 --> 01:09:36,458
So, we're seeing diabetics
in 11-, 12-, 13-year-olds.
1536
01:09:38,041 --> 01:09:41,333
Anyone that has gone through
losing weight in the past,
1537
01:09:41,333 --> 01:09:42,834
they have willpower.
1538
01:09:42,834 --> 01:09:44,166
Dieting isn't so much the issue,
1539
01:09:44,166 --> 01:09:46,917
it's learning how to really make changes
1540
01:09:46,917 --> 01:09:48,875
that will affect you for the long term.
1541
01:09:48,875 --> 01:09:50,291
- What are your thoughts on fasting
1542
01:09:50,291 --> 01:09:52,250
and what happens to the body?
1543
01:09:52,250 --> 01:09:54,792
- You have this goal that
you were gonna lose weight.
1544
01:09:54,792 --> 01:09:56,542
And, yeah, it was an extreme,
1545
01:09:56,542 --> 01:09:58,583
but it's not much different
than what bodybuilders do
1546
01:09:58,583 --> 01:10:01,750
when they bulk up and then
cut down for a contest.
1547
01:10:01,750 --> 01:10:03,333
So, yes, it's extreme.
1548
01:10:03,333 --> 01:10:06,583
And no, I would not recommend
it for the general population.
1549
01:10:06,583 --> 01:10:07,792
Yeah, you will lose weight,
1550
01:10:07,792 --> 01:10:09,750
but first you'll lose water weight, okay?
1551
01:10:09,750 --> 01:10:13,000
And then, as your metabolism
comes to a screeching halt,
1552
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,250
then you start losing muscle weight.
1553
01:10:15,250 --> 01:10:19,291
Now, the more muscle you lose,
the slower your metabolism.
1554
01:10:19,291 --> 01:10:21,542
So, you eventually will get to a point
1555
01:10:21,542 --> 01:10:24,750
in which weight loss will end, okay?
1556
01:10:24,750 --> 01:10:26,041
Now, you are a very strong individual
1557
01:10:26,041 --> 01:10:27,875
and you were determined
to go through this.
1558
01:10:27,875 --> 01:10:29,166
You beat the odds.
1559
01:10:29,166 --> 01:10:30,291
There is not many people I know
1560
01:10:30,291 --> 01:10:33,083
that could be on a fast
as long as you were
1561
01:10:33,083 --> 01:10:35,583
and could be as successful as you were.
1562
01:10:35,583 --> 01:10:40,041
- What's the difference
between fasting and anorexia?
1563
01:10:40,041 --> 01:10:44,000
- It's an extreme form of eating disorder
1564
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:48,166
in which one is controlling
what they put in their mouth,
1565
01:10:50,166 --> 01:10:51,792
with the aim of starving themselves.
1566
01:10:51,792 --> 01:10:53,959
See, yours was not so much
1567
01:10:55,208 --> 01:10:57,458
a need to control what
you put in your mouth,
1568
01:10:57,458 --> 01:11:01,000
you had a goal of wanting to
lose this amount of weight
1569
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:05,000
and you had a predetermined
time period in which to do it.
1570
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:06,959
This is one of the problems I have found
1571
01:11:06,959 --> 01:11:09,458
in dealing with obese people in general
1572
01:11:09,458 --> 01:11:14,291
is that you feel so deprived
that you must bust out.
1573
01:11:14,291 --> 01:11:16,500
So, what this people do,
then they'll overeat.
1574
01:11:16,500 --> 01:11:19,041
And then, they will feel
like they're total failures
1575
01:11:19,041 --> 01:11:22,208
because they screwed up again,
and then they go off a diet
1576
01:11:22,208 --> 01:11:24,417
and they overeat and they get fatter.
1577
01:11:24,417 --> 01:11:27,834
If you look at people that
have gone through yo-yo dieting
1578
01:11:27,834 --> 01:11:29,333
time after time after time,
1579
01:11:29,333 --> 01:11:30,583
the common thread that I have found
1580
01:11:30,583 --> 01:11:32,458
is that they always feel like failures.
1581
01:11:32,458 --> 01:11:34,959
They can't end up doing what
they put their mind to do
1582
01:11:34,959 --> 01:11:35,959
and they feel like they're a failure,
1583
01:11:35,959 --> 01:11:37,291
so they might as well just be fat,
1584
01:11:37,291 --> 01:11:38,792
"'Cause I can't beat the odds."
1585
01:11:38,792 --> 01:11:41,709
(slow piano music)
1586
01:11:46,709 --> 01:11:48,959
- [Kenny] Sonia and I
started this fast together,
1587
01:11:48,959 --> 01:11:52,208
supporting each other
spiritually and emotionally.
1588
01:11:52,208 --> 01:11:53,500
This journey has really bonded
1589
01:11:53,500 --> 01:11:55,583
our friendship for a lifetime.
1590
01:11:55,583 --> 01:11:57,917
- I can't believe I finished my fast.
1591
01:11:57,917 --> 01:11:59,625
- [Kenny] You finished it, 40--
1592
01:11:59,625 --> 01:12:01,959
- 40 days, I lost 40 pounds.
1593
01:12:03,291 --> 01:12:06,750
I learned that I needed to take more time
1594
01:12:06,750 --> 01:12:09,041
and take care of myself
1595
01:12:09,041 --> 01:12:12,750
and to do what I need
to do to stay healthy.
1596
01:12:14,500 --> 01:12:15,834
It's weird, though.
1597
01:12:15,834 --> 01:12:18,250
When you don't eat for so many days,
1598
01:12:18,250 --> 01:12:21,250
you don't even think about food anymore.
1599
01:12:21,250 --> 01:12:24,917
- When you deprive yourself
of food, you start realizing
1600
01:12:24,917 --> 01:12:28,917
how much you have control over your food.
1601
01:12:28,917 --> 01:12:33,041
- Growing up, I just remember
at school, I got picked on.
1602
01:12:35,208 --> 01:12:37,667
There was always the few kids
1603
01:12:38,542 --> 01:12:41,000
that would pick on me and tease me.
1604
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:45,166
Getting into my adulthood,
first of all, I didn't date.
1605
01:12:47,041 --> 01:12:51,500
I was always going out with my
girlfriends and going dancing
1606
01:12:51,500 --> 01:12:55,333
and I was the one that was
always holding everybody's purse.
1607
01:12:55,333 --> 01:12:58,166
The funny thing is I used to think
1608
01:12:59,417 --> 01:13:02,500
if I could just have a guy in my life
1609
01:13:06,625 --> 01:13:10,417
that would love me and
that would take care of me,
1610
01:13:10,417 --> 01:13:14,583
then I could go on and go
after my dream, you know?
1611
01:13:21,208 --> 01:13:24,458
'Cause I never really went after
1612
01:13:24,458 --> 01:13:26,709
my dream of being an artist
1613
01:13:30,125 --> 01:13:33,917
'cause I thought I have to
take care of this first.
1614
01:13:33,917 --> 01:13:38,041
And so, I ended up going
through relationships with guys
1615
01:13:40,583 --> 01:13:43,834
and I had this series of boyfriends
1616
01:13:43,834 --> 01:13:47,291
that were not the greatest guys, you know?
1617
01:13:48,709 --> 01:13:53,291
They were more like verbally
abusive, not physically,
1618
01:13:53,291 --> 01:13:56,959
but I had one boyfriend
that used to tell me
1619
01:13:58,208 --> 01:14:00,500
that I was borderline ugly.
1620
01:14:00,500 --> 01:14:03,959
And he told me once, I'll never forget,
1621
01:14:03,959 --> 01:14:08,083
we were on Magic Mountain and
we were in line for this ride
1622
01:14:09,250 --> 01:14:12,542
and he told me he was
embarrassed to be seen with me.
1623
01:14:12,542 --> 01:14:13,375
- [Kenny] Your boyfriend?
1624
01:14:13,375 --> 01:14:15,208
- Yeah. (laughs)
1625
01:14:15,208 --> 01:14:19,208
And I still stayed with
him because I thought
1626
01:14:19,208 --> 01:14:22,542
I'm never gonna find anybody else.
1627
01:14:22,542 --> 01:14:25,125
And I think that a lot of women
1628
01:14:26,333 --> 01:14:28,959
that are overweight think that.
1629
01:14:30,291 --> 01:14:32,959
- [Kenny] 'Cause they
put up with a lot more--
1630
01:14:32,959 --> 01:14:35,917
- They put up with a lot
more because they don't feel
1631
01:14:35,917 --> 01:14:38,792
that anyone else is gonna want 'em.
1632
01:14:38,792 --> 01:14:42,458
So, I went through that
period and I just...
1633
01:14:47,458 --> 01:14:49,709
And the funny thing is that
1634
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,792
the one guy that said that to me,
1635
01:14:57,625 --> 01:15:00,417
I thought, "Well, I'll show him.
1636
01:15:00,417 --> 01:15:03,000
"I'll lose weight and then I'll dump him."
1637
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:06,834
I lost 75 pounds in
like five or six months,
1638
01:15:06,834 --> 01:15:08,000
I don't remember.
1639
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,583
I ended up staying with him.
1640
01:15:10,583 --> 01:15:11,792
- [Kenny] Wow, why?
1641
01:15:11,792 --> 01:15:13,709
- Because by that time,
1642
01:15:13,709 --> 01:15:17,417
I mean, I still had my
self-esteem, you know?
1643
01:15:17,417 --> 01:15:20,417
It took me a long time; I
was with him for six years.
1644
01:15:20,417 --> 01:15:23,417
And six years of someone telling
you you're borderline ugly
1645
01:15:23,417 --> 01:15:26,333
and that you'll never meet
anybody better than them,
1646
01:15:26,333 --> 01:15:27,542
you start to believe it.
1647
01:15:27,542 --> 01:15:29,375
And when you get older
1648
01:15:30,834 --> 01:15:34,083
and you start to see
what life's really about
1649
01:15:34,083 --> 01:15:38,250
and you see that what you're
doing for everyone else,
1650
01:15:39,959 --> 01:15:42,166
you're trying to help everybody else,
1651
01:15:42,166 --> 01:15:45,792
you realize that you
deserve that same love
1652
01:15:48,250 --> 01:15:49,959
that you're giving to everybody else;
1653
01:15:49,959 --> 01:15:53,583
you deserve it for yourself
just as much as they deserve it.
1654
01:15:53,583 --> 01:15:56,667
So, why aren't you doing it for yourself?
1655
01:15:56,667 --> 01:16:00,500
And then, that's when you
start to weed out the people
1656
01:16:00,500 --> 01:16:03,792
that are not good in your life.
1657
01:16:03,792 --> 01:16:06,166
And when I started doing that,
1658
01:16:06,166 --> 01:16:10,750
that's when I started attracting
the right people to me,
1659
01:16:10,750 --> 01:16:12,458
and then I found Paul--
1660
01:16:12,458 --> 01:16:13,291
- [Kenny] Yeah.
(laughs)
1661
01:16:13,291 --> 01:16:16,417
- Who's like mister wonderful. (laughs)
1662
01:16:16,417 --> 01:16:18,250
It was worth the journey,
1663
01:16:18,250 --> 01:16:22,000
going from that to
finding someone wonderful.
1664
01:16:26,208 --> 01:16:28,583
(groovy rock music)
1665
01:16:28,583 --> 01:16:31,166
- This is it, my last weigh-in.
1666
01:16:31,166 --> 01:16:32,667
I'm so proud to be able to say
1667
01:16:32,667 --> 01:16:35,083
that I reached a personal milestone.
1668
01:16:35,083 --> 01:16:36,458
And now, it's just time to find out
1669
01:16:36,458 --> 01:16:39,125
how much my hard work's paid off.
1670
01:16:39,125 --> 01:16:42,583
- [L.] So, you went from 315 down to 271.
1671
01:16:43,375 --> 01:16:45,166
- So, how many would that be?
1672
01:16:45,166 --> 01:16:46,959
- That's 44 pounds.
- 44 pounds.
1673
01:16:46,959 --> 01:16:48,375
- [L.] The interesting thing about it--
1674
01:16:48,375 --> 01:16:49,709
- What was his fat, yeah, percentage?
1675
01:16:49,709 --> 01:16:51,041
- Yeah, the percentage of body fat
1676
01:16:51,041 --> 01:16:53,875
has come down dramatically,
'cause it was at 53%,
1677
01:16:53,875 --> 01:16:57,834
actually, over 53%, and
now it's down to 46%.
1678
01:16:57,834 --> 01:16:58,792
So, that's important.
1679
01:16:58,792 --> 01:16:59,583
And then, when you look--
1680
01:16:59,583 --> 01:17:00,500
- And how many pounds
of fat would that be?
1681
01:17:00,500 --> 01:17:01,667
- Exactly, thank you doctor.
1682
01:17:01,667 --> 01:17:03,041
When you look at the fat mass,
1683
01:17:03,041 --> 01:17:06,041
he actually lost 40 pounds of fat
1684
01:17:06,041 --> 01:17:07,959
and only four pounds of lean body mass.
1685
01:17:07,959 --> 01:17:08,792
- Not bad.
1686
01:17:08,792 --> 01:17:10,500
- So, that's pretty spectacular.
1687
01:17:10,500 --> 01:17:13,583
- Preserving muscle mass
is the name of the game.
1688
01:17:13,583 --> 01:17:14,917
- And really unusual.
- Yeah.
1689
01:17:14,917 --> 01:17:16,291
- So, let's get you measured
1690
01:17:16,291 --> 01:17:18,583
to see how toned this buff body is.
1691
01:17:18,583 --> 01:17:20,375
- Yeah, I know, all these muscles I have.
1692
01:17:20,375 --> 01:17:21,208
- Yes!
1693
01:17:21,208 --> 01:17:22,542
- I'm looking forward to the measurements
1694
01:17:22,542 --> 01:17:24,500
because of my clothes have been,
1695
01:17:24,500 --> 01:17:27,375
like this shirt was like spandex (laughs)
1696
01:17:27,375 --> 01:17:29,125
on me when I started.
1697
01:17:30,375 --> 01:17:32,083
Oh, but the thing I
was gonna ask you about
1698
01:17:32,083 --> 01:17:37,000
was the ketone strips, where
I've been peeing on 'em.
1699
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,166
But it went up really high
1700
01:17:40,125 --> 01:17:42,709
and for a long time it was really high,
1701
01:17:42,709 --> 01:17:45,542
and then it started going down,
and then up, and then down.
1702
01:17:45,542 --> 01:17:49,709
And in the past four or five
days, it's been trace amounts.
1703
01:17:50,834 --> 01:17:51,667
- [Dr. Ghaly] That's good.
1704
01:17:51,667 --> 01:17:52,500
- Oh, so that's normal?
1705
01:17:52,500 --> 01:17:54,125
- That's very normal.
1706
01:17:54,125 --> 01:17:56,959
(slow rock music)
1707
01:18:20,792 --> 01:18:24,792
- That's, what, five-and-a-half
inches around the stomach.
1708
01:18:24,792 --> 01:18:28,250
I've gone down a couple
pant size, (laughs)
1709
01:18:28,250 --> 01:18:30,542
which I've noticed 'cause my
pants don't fit me anymore.
1710
01:18:30,542 --> 01:18:32,792
- And for you to lose 50-some pounds?
1711
01:18:32,792 --> 01:18:34,583
- 44.
- 44 pounds?
1712
01:18:34,583 --> 01:18:36,208
That's not bad, like a pound a day.
1713
01:18:36,208 --> 01:18:38,250
My god, that's quite a bit.
1714
01:18:38,250 --> 01:18:40,417
So, for each pound of fat,
1715
01:18:42,250 --> 01:18:45,500
you need to spend 3,500 calories, okay?
1716
01:18:47,375 --> 01:18:52,333
So, a man usually requires,
for daily maintenance,
1717
01:18:52,333 --> 01:18:56,250
anywhere between 2,800
to 3,200 calories a day.
1718
01:18:57,792 --> 01:19:01,458
So, basically, you were
living on your own--
1719
01:19:01,458 --> 01:19:02,959
- Fat. (laughs)
1720
01:19:02,959 --> 01:19:04,166
- There you go.
1721
01:19:05,834 --> 01:19:08,834
- We have, dun-dun-dun!
(laughing)
1722
01:19:08,834 --> 01:19:09,959
I never give anybody anything,
1723
01:19:09,959 --> 01:19:12,458
but he broke a world
record, for goodness sake!
1724
01:19:12,458 --> 01:19:15,041
This is the Via that
Georgette talked about, okay?
1725
01:19:15,041 --> 01:19:15,917
- [Kenny] Oh, right, yeah.
1726
01:19:15,917 --> 01:19:17,000
- So, this is what's gonna help you
1727
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,041
break your fast in a very healthy way.
1728
01:19:19,041 --> 01:19:21,959
This is whole food, not a juice.
1729
01:19:21,959 --> 01:19:24,250
And, of course, dun-dun-dun!
1730
01:19:25,750 --> 01:19:27,333
- Good, I'm always in need
of white t-shirts! (laughs)
1731
01:19:27,333 --> 01:19:29,125
- No, what I love is,
remember the first time
1732
01:19:29,125 --> 01:19:30,750
that you fit into this?
1733
01:19:30,750 --> 01:19:31,834
- [Kenny] Yeah, (laughs) right.
1734
01:19:31,834 --> 01:19:33,542
- Because this is the biggest one we have
1735
01:19:33,542 --> 01:19:34,792
and you didn't fit the first time.
1736
01:19:34,792 --> 01:19:36,500
- [Kenny] No, I didn't fit in
it the first time. (laughs)
1737
01:19:36,500 --> 01:19:38,500
- So, now you more than fit.
1738
01:19:38,500 --> 01:19:40,208
That's it.
(laughing)
1739
01:19:40,208 --> 01:19:41,250
There you go.
1740
01:19:41,250 --> 01:19:42,333
- Well, thank you so much.
1741
01:19:42,333 --> 01:19:45,792
- Yeah, and my congratulations
on doing so, so well.
1742
01:19:45,792 --> 01:19:47,875
We are all phenomenally proud of you.
1743
01:19:47,875 --> 01:19:49,792
- What'd you learn about yourself?
1744
01:19:49,792 --> 01:19:51,417
- What did I learn about myself?
1745
01:19:51,417 --> 01:19:53,709
That I actually, if I
put my mind to it enough,
1746
01:19:53,709 --> 01:19:56,000
I can actually go and turn down food.
1747
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:57,000
That's the big thing
1748
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,041
because that's one of the
biggest problems that I--
1749
01:19:59,041 --> 01:19:59,917
- Hurdles.
1750
01:19:59,917 --> 01:20:02,083
- And I think that's one of
the things that most people
1751
01:20:02,083 --> 01:20:04,875
in the world who are overweight,
their biggest problem
1752
01:20:04,875 --> 01:20:08,667
is they don't think
they can say no to food.
1753
01:20:08,667 --> 01:20:10,875
And I always thought that, and
I proved it because I did it.
1754
01:20:10,875 --> 01:20:12,542
But you learn through the whole thing,
1755
01:20:12,542 --> 01:20:14,834
you realize that if you
put your mind to it enough
1756
01:20:14,834 --> 01:20:16,750
that you can change your mind,
you can change your body.
1757
01:20:16,750 --> 01:20:18,166
(light acoustic guitar music)
1758
01:20:18,166 --> 01:20:20,000
I'm like, I finished, you know?
1759
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,083
Yay, I get to eat something tomorrow,
1760
01:20:22,083 --> 01:20:24,583
drink something besides water.
1761
01:20:29,792 --> 01:20:31,709
128 ounces in a gallon.
1762
01:20:45,083 --> 01:20:47,083
The last day's here, 55.
1763
01:20:49,959 --> 01:20:54,083
So, here, and then there's me,
which I should cross out too.
1764
01:20:55,291 --> 01:20:56,375
(laughing)
1765
01:20:56,375 --> 01:20:57,417
Yay!
1766
01:20:57,417 --> 01:20:58,208
55 days!
1767
01:21:01,083 --> 01:21:04,166
55 days and I've drunk so much water.
1768
01:21:05,917 --> 01:21:08,333
I will probably never be able to drink
1769
01:21:08,333 --> 01:21:12,041
anything but water again
the rest of my life.
1770
01:21:13,166 --> 01:21:15,291
Although, I am looking
forward to making iced tea.
1771
01:21:15,291 --> 01:21:16,542
Iced tea will taste good.
1772
01:21:16,542 --> 01:21:17,625
Yay, 55 days!
1773
01:21:18,959 --> 01:21:19,792
Woo!
1774
01:21:21,375 --> 01:21:25,291
(upbeat acoustic guitar music)
1775
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:35,875
- Ken-Dog.
1776
01:21:38,500 --> 01:21:39,333
Congrats.
1777
01:21:42,792 --> 01:21:44,500
- My lovely hair and everything.
1778
01:21:44,500 --> 01:21:46,500
So, well, thank you.
(laughing)
1779
01:21:46,500 --> 01:21:48,375
He gave me a coupon for juice.
1780
01:21:48,375 --> 01:21:49,959
Thank you guys so much, man.
1781
01:21:49,959 --> 01:21:50,792
- Congrats.
1782
01:21:50,792 --> 01:21:51,792
- Thanks, I couldn't have done it
1783
01:21:51,792 --> 01:21:55,250
without you guys, that's for sure.
1784
01:21:55,250 --> 01:21:56,792
I probably could've gone 60 days,
1785
01:21:56,792 --> 01:21:59,000
but that probably wouldn't
have been a good idea.
1786
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:02,125
But I started getting, actually,
towards the past few days,
1787
01:22:02,125 --> 01:22:05,041
I started getting pains in my side.
1788
01:22:05,959 --> 01:22:07,959
- Gonna do carrot apple.
1789
01:22:07,959 --> 01:22:09,291
- [Kenny] Carrot apple sounds--
1790
01:22:09,291 --> 01:22:12,375
- Kenny's request.
- Sounds very good.
1791
01:22:17,041 --> 01:22:20,500
It's gonna be weird
actually, having something,
1792
01:22:20,500 --> 01:22:24,041
'cause I haven't had anything,
not even mints, anything.
1793
01:22:24,041 --> 01:22:25,917
The closest thing I've even
come to chewing anything
1794
01:22:25,917 --> 01:22:28,000
was I chewed a straw.
1795
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:28,917
(laughing)
1796
01:22:28,917 --> 01:22:33,542
When I get stressed out, I
chew straws and plastic things,
1797
01:22:33,542 --> 01:22:36,458
which is probably not a good habit.
1798
01:22:41,583 --> 01:22:45,166
They all need to, yeah,
everybody should try.
1799
01:22:45,166 --> 01:22:46,083
Here it is.
1800
01:22:47,375 --> 01:22:51,083
Day, well, 56 now, I guess, huh? (laughs)
1801
01:22:51,083 --> 01:22:52,500
Cheers, I finished, yay!
1802
01:22:52,500 --> 01:22:53,458
- Yay, congratulations!
1803
01:22:53,458 --> 01:22:54,291
- Thank you.
1804
01:22:54,291 --> 01:22:55,125
- Cheers.
1805
01:22:55,125 --> 01:22:57,375
- Oh, thank you, thank you.
1806
01:23:01,333 --> 01:23:02,166
Well, I'm full.
1807
01:23:02,166 --> 01:23:04,417
(laughing)
1808
01:23:06,792 --> 01:23:07,625
Man.
1809
01:23:07,625 --> 01:23:08,458
- How is that?
1810
01:23:08,458 --> 01:23:10,041
- [Sonia] You're still alive. (laughs)
1811
01:23:10,041 --> 01:23:12,208
(grimaces and groans)
1812
01:23:12,208 --> 01:23:14,709
- Bright light getting bigger!
1813
01:23:16,333 --> 01:23:17,667
Yeah, it's weird.
1814
01:23:17,667 --> 01:23:21,417
I mean, it tastes good, but it's weird.
1815
01:23:21,417 --> 01:23:22,959
- [Sonia] Been a while.
1816
01:23:22,959 --> 01:23:23,959
What do you think, do you like it?
1817
01:23:23,959 --> 01:23:25,458
- I think it's actually really good.
1818
01:23:25,458 --> 01:23:26,291
- [Sonia] Is that the first time
1819
01:23:26,291 --> 01:23:28,083
you've had homemade carrot juice?
1820
01:23:28,083 --> 01:23:28,959
- Yes.
1821
01:23:28,959 --> 01:23:30,083
- Well, freshly squeezed carrot juice,
1822
01:23:30,083 --> 01:23:31,792
you can't get this stuff in bottles, man.
1823
01:23:31,792 --> 01:23:34,291
- It actually tastes really good.
1824
01:23:34,291 --> 01:23:35,208
- Well--
1825
01:23:35,208 --> 01:23:36,041
- [Sonia] That's that.
1826
01:23:36,041 --> 01:23:36,875
- It was good.
1827
01:23:36,875 --> 01:23:38,583
- There we go guys, we're all done.
1828
01:23:38,583 --> 01:23:39,959
I'm a little disappointed I didn't lose
1829
01:23:39,959 --> 01:23:41,542
as much weight as I thought I would,
1830
01:23:41,542 --> 01:23:44,917
but who can complain about
losing like 50 pounds,
1831
01:23:44,917 --> 01:23:47,500
44 or whatever the crap it was?
1832
01:23:48,834 --> 01:23:51,250
Yeah, five-something inches from my waist.
1833
01:23:51,250 --> 01:23:53,542
No, I'm very happy; I
certainly don't regret it.
1834
01:23:53,542 --> 01:23:56,208
Any time I lose any weight,
I don't regret it. (laughing)
1835
01:23:56,208 --> 01:23:58,375
But the important thing is,
1836
01:23:58,375 --> 01:24:03,125
what I disregarded in this
'cause I went 55 days,
1837
01:24:03,125 --> 01:24:07,583
because, actually, about
quite a few days before this,
1838
01:24:07,583 --> 01:24:11,250
my hunger actually came back
and I let it cycle again,
1839
01:24:11,250 --> 01:24:12,875
and you're not supposed to do that.
1840
01:24:12,875 --> 01:24:15,333
You're not supposed to let
your hunger cycle again
1841
01:24:15,333 --> 01:24:16,875
once you've been so long.
1842
01:24:16,875 --> 01:24:18,959
But, of course, I was
going for a world record,
1843
01:24:18,959 --> 01:24:23,125
so I thought I'd do it, but
that got into danger zone.
1844
01:24:24,583 --> 01:24:27,125
Yeah, well, pretty much anything
1845
01:24:27,125 --> 01:24:31,083
with the word fast and food
(laughing) conjoined, yeah.
1846
01:24:31,083 --> 01:24:33,417
But then, it's just
making a conscious choice.
1847
01:24:33,417 --> 01:24:34,959
Like, okay, I can have this fried chicken
1848
01:24:34,959 --> 01:24:36,875
that's not good for me or I can have
1849
01:24:36,875 --> 01:24:39,792
the same basic ingredient of chicken baked
1850
01:24:39,792 --> 01:24:41,792
and it's healthy for me, you know?
1851
01:24:41,792 --> 01:24:43,959
But the good thing, I feel like now
1852
01:24:43,959 --> 01:24:47,291
that I'm at the starting line, you know?
1853
01:24:50,875 --> 01:24:51,875
Yeah, exactly.
1854
01:24:51,875 --> 01:24:53,417
And now, I actually feel like,
1855
01:24:53,417 --> 01:24:55,250
'cause the fasting, I actually felt
1856
01:24:55,250 --> 01:24:57,709
like I was doing something really crazy.
1857
01:24:57,709 --> 01:25:01,333
Now, I actually feel
like I'm starting life.
1858
01:25:03,250 --> 01:25:06,583
(light dreamlike music)
1859
01:25:33,792 --> 01:25:36,000
I can honestly say that this has been
1860
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:39,291
one of the toughest things
I've ever put myself through.
1861
01:25:39,291 --> 01:25:42,333
People are telling me,
"You're so much thinner."
1862
01:25:42,333 --> 01:25:45,667
Yeah, I lost weight, not
as much as I'd hoped to,
1863
01:25:45,667 --> 01:25:46,875
but this wasn't meant to be
1864
01:25:46,875 --> 01:25:49,625
some magic solution to all my problems.
1865
01:25:49,625 --> 01:25:52,834
What's most important is
that I set a goal for myself,
1866
01:25:52,834 --> 01:25:57,041
I made the effort and, as hard
as it was, I didn't give up.
1867
01:25:57,041 --> 01:25:58,959
I didn't give in.
1868
01:25:58,959 --> 01:26:00,625
When people taunted me with food
1869
01:26:00,625 --> 01:26:05,083
or told me it was impossible,
I never gave up on myself,
1870
01:26:05,083 --> 01:26:07,000
and I never will again.
1871
01:26:08,750 --> 01:26:10,750
To believe in yourself and to have faith
1872
01:26:10,750 --> 01:26:14,166
is worth everything, especially
when you face the thing
1873
01:26:14,166 --> 01:26:18,917
that has kept you down and
kept you from truly living.
1874
01:26:18,917 --> 01:26:20,959
And then, you conquer it.
1875
01:26:23,625 --> 01:26:26,917
You know, I once heard it
said that it's never too late
1876
01:26:26,917 --> 01:26:29,041
to be who you might've been.
1877
01:26:29,041 --> 01:26:32,250
And now, for the first time in years,
1878
01:26:32,250 --> 01:26:34,583
I know I can be that person.
1879
01:26:36,208 --> 01:26:40,041
(triumphant orchestral music)
