Tyrus says if you really want to lose weight, you have to “break up” with your favorite foods and forget about cheat days.

Do you agree? 👇

What’s ONE food you’d have the hardest time giving up?

Took 10 years to lose 100 lbs. From 265 to 160 at 5'10. My legs thank me every day by carrying less.

I'm a 62 year old retired Police Officer from Virginia and I'm almost in the exact same shape, but not near as tall as you. I'm starting tomorrow with the 2 Shakes/1 Meal plan. Thanks for inspiring me Tyrus! Appreciate you my brother!!

What I so admire about Tyrus , amongst many things, is his willingness to frankly discuss his experiences. This is evident in this episode and the one on fatherhood.

I wish Tyrus continued success in his fitness goals and to others who are inspired by him.

I miss your videos of your workouts, but Thanks for this episode! I kept rewatching your workouts & made it happen in my living room. I'm down 45 lbs. I appreciate your feedback on Gutfeld & always excited to see you on the Five.
We'll never know or see one another, but you have helped me to focus on what matters & what are lies. Feelings are liars.

great to hear a man speak all the struggles, the insecurities, the addictions
that I have struggled with as a woman ( 72 yrs old ). for decades.
you make it so real. and straight forward. I have cleaned up my food for 2 years. and I have people constantly saying "oh just a little..."
sorry but I know me. it will set off my brain, and the cravings instantly. and the recovery after. , all that lost effort?
yes I too have broke up with a lot of the food loves.
adding the strength training now. I appreciate that part of your story as well.

Thank you Tyrus. I hate the voice in my head that makes me cheat. Now I know how to say no. I'll think of you and hear you're voice saying no to that voice.

This is a good listen…I’m a woman in my late 60’s whose weight has yoyo’d my whole life…never to BMI of 30 but close to it; affecting my lipids, AiC and energy levels; got down to BMI 24.8 last year and since April gained back 15 lbs ….very frustrating. But you give some really good basic tips even for me a woman. Thanks

Tyrus still handsome 😉👏🏽❤I've been in the mental battle all my life. I've been as high as 265 / 5'3" now around 160. I still need to AGAIN cut the sugar and dairy without it I was as low as 145. For me, all it takes is just 1 cookie, and I'm "off the wagon".🤷🏽‍♀

Tyrus, thank you for this video. I am 65 yo. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I am 5'10 and 296 lbs, and I hate it, I've lost 50 lbs and gained 50 lbs. I don't know how many times. This video has motivated me.
