This guy is pretty nutso. I wonder if he'll be able to take it all off in the same amount of time he put it on. I guess having the base he did will help with that, though. And the discipline.

For serious, that's some commitment to actually go and see what the challenges are instead of sitting back and saying "ra ra, you just need to stop being lazy!" It's all about inertia, so even with the base and discipline that he's got it's still gonna kick his ass way harder than he ever thought it would.

Oct 18, 2011 19:42:52 His "no soda headaches" are likely caused by caffeine withdrawel. If I go a few days without a coffee I get the same way. This experiment of his is just really bad for him. Rapid weight change (up or down) is really bad for you. I was around 190 pounds when I got out of the military. My activity level went through the floor but my appetite was still big. Result: I gained 50 pounds in about 6 months. 'Course, while I was in Iraq I was logging over 10 hours a week in at the gym, had restricted my eating (little to no carbs), and lost around 20 pounds in 2 months. I did not take that weight off at a healthy rate.

These days I keep telling myself I need to hit the gym, but I haven't made a real effort to do that in almost a year.

Oct 19, 2011 1:02:27 Bad, yeah, but it's not lethal. In fact my favorite part is where he acknowledges "look, people survive for decades with these problems so it's not going to kill me overnight." Also with his base you're looking at an above average cardio and respiratory system taking on a load that is maintained by far, far, far less capable people.

Oct 19, 2011 9:33:23 He has another major advantage when it comes time to go back: he knows what he's doing when it comes to diet and exercise. A lot of people think they'll just stop eating sweets and do some random stuff at the gym - which is good - and the pounds will melt off. Then they get disappointed when it doesn't happen and drop all that. Really, there's a lot of strategy and planning that goes into developing your body the way this guy did before he purposefully destroyed it. Him knowing what that path is will help him get back to where he was. Won't be easy, though. Not even a little.

Oct 19, 2011 10:30:00 Look at what Christian Bale did in the past 5 or 6 years- it's way more unhealthy!
I'm not 100% on years and his body weight, but look at his transformation from these movies:
Batman Begins- very fit, likely 180+
The Machinist- skeletal thin, probably 100lbs or less
The Dark Knight- back to the muscular 180 lbs
The Fighter- skeletal thin, but not as bad as Machinist
Dark Knight Rises- again, muscular.

He has said he's probably permanently damaged his body because of the rapid weight/muscle loss and gain from Batman-Machinist-Dark Knight.
