00:29Because of his glow-up video, he already has 8.7 million views.
00:34That's because of a lot of netizens.
00:36Since he was a kid, he's been craving for food and midnight snacks.
00:42This is where he gained weight.
00:43Until he finished his studies, he gained 152 kilos.
00:52Because of this, it was hard for him to buy clothes.
00:55He also lost his self-esteem because of the darkening of his face.
01:00This is where the bullying started.
01:04That's why John decided that he needs to lose weight through a calorie deficit.
01:14After John transformed, some of the comments were like,
01:18Wow, that's a big transformation. You lost a lot of weight.
01:22How did you do it? Tips, please.
01:25Your healthy lifestyle also helped.

01:46Wow. His glow-up is amazing.
01:49Yes. So amazing.
01:50That's him back then.
01:52Watch carefully because you might not be able to recognize him later.
01:56The netizens are surprised.
01:58The comments online were like, Is that really him?

02:06Are you ready?
02:07Ready!

02:23John Lenal Carmen
02:43Wow!
02:45That's him.
02:46He looks different now.
02:48I've told you, I might not recognize him at first.
02:51Is that really you, John?
02:53Hello! Good morning!
02:55Good morning!
02:57Wow! John, come join us here.
03:00His transformation is amazing!
03:02Hello, hello!
03:04Good morning! Welcome to Unang Hirit, John!
03:06How are you? What can you say about your video transformation?
03:12I'm so happy because now I see more people because I used to be left behind.
03:20So, I became more confident.
03:24Yes, I can see that you're confident now.
03:27Of course, a lot of people are asking,
03:29How?
03:31That's what we want to know.
03:32How did you achieve that?
03:34Okay, guys.
03:35Before, he was 152 kilos.
03:39And after that, he was 90 kilos.
03:42That's almost half of what you lost.
03:45To be honest.
03:46How did you do it?
03:48At first, I wasn't affected by discrimination.
03:55But it came to a point where a lot of my relatives told me to lose weight.
04:02So, he's already sick?
04:03Yes.
04:04When it comes to family, sometimes it's hard.
04:07It hits hard.
04:08It's in your heart, auntie.
04:10Correct, correct.
04:11So, what was your first step?
04:14Before, it was really hard for me to diet.
04:18So, what I did was I slowed it down.
04:21Because I ate 7 rice per meal.
04:24What?
04:25Oh my God.
04:26And you reduced it from 7?
04:28From 7 to 2.
04:292, okay.
04:30Until I ate half a cup of rice.
04:32Half a cup?
04:33Yes, half a cup.
04:34It's like you ate rice.
04:35Oh my God.
04:36Half of the rice.
04:37That's why he's half of himself now, right?
04:39Yes.
04:40So, John, how long did it take for you to achieve that weight?
04:43It took me 7 months.
04:457 months.
04:47And I'm just maintaining it now.
04:49Okay, so 7 months.
04:50That's called a calorie deficit, right?
04:52Yes.
04:53I'm sure a lot of people are inspired by John.
04:55I'm also inspired by him.
04:57And a lot of people have a goal to lose weight.
04:59So, to guide us correctly, we have this morning,
05:04the internal medicine endocrinology doctor,
05:08Dr. Nemencio Nicodemus Jr.
05:11Good morning, Doc!
05:13Good morning.
05:14Okay.
05:15So, Doc, we have a lot to talk about today.
05:17Let's talk about John's diet.
05:20This is called a calorie deficit.
05:22So, how do you do this?
05:24And can everyone try this?
05:26And what does it mean?
05:27Okay.
05:28First of all, what are calories?
05:29Because calories mean energy.
05:31Energy intake of food.
05:32So, if you eat any kind of food, it has calories.
05:35Okay, yes.
05:36So, what John did was,
05:37basically, from a very high-caloric intake of 7 cups of rice every meal,
05:43he gradually reduced the number of calories.
05:46It means that what you eat,
05:49you reduced it so that the amount of energy your body needs is just right.
05:54Okay.
05:55So, what he did was actually a good way of weight loss.
05:58Good.
05:59Slowly reducing the amount of energy that enters his body.
06:03This is what we usually say.
06:04Back in the day, they used to call it reduce.
06:07Right?
06:08Reduce, okay.
06:09But, Doc, John reached one year to achieve his weight goal.
06:14So, what is the realistic timeline for weight loss?
06:17Because I heard people say,
06:19every week, to make it healthy,
06:21one pound, not one kilo,
06:23one pound a week is the weight loss to maintain it.
06:26Is that right?
06:27Yes.
06:28Actually, that's what we call healthy weight loss.
06:31You should be losing one pound a week,
06:33and to achieve that,
06:35you should be achieving a 500-calorie deficit.
06:38Deficit, okay.
06:39Let's give an example.
06:40One cup of rice, 200 calories.
06:43So, imagine that he was eating 7 cups of rice per meal.
06:47So, it means that per meal,
06:491,400 calories from rice alone.
06:52Wow, John!
06:53So, when he reduced his rice intake,
06:55it was a good way to reduce his calories.
06:57Yes, that's great.
06:58So, deficit means that you need to burn less calories per day.
07:04Is that right?
07:05That's right.
07:06Okay, okay.
07:07A lot of people believe that obesity is in the family gene.
07:10Is that right?
07:11Is it also true that it's in the family gene, Doc?
07:13Yes.
07:14Actually, according to the study,
07:16the genes to become obese are in our parents.
07:20In fact, studies say,
07:21the heritability of obesity can be from 40 to 70 percent.
07:26Really?
07:27So, the genes are big.
07:28So, I don't have an excuse anymore because my mom is so skinny.
07:32But there are also people who believe that cold water makes you fat.
07:38This is what people ask, right?
07:40Where do you get fat?
07:41Is that true, Doc?
07:42First of all, water has no calories.
07:44Okay.
07:45Because it's cold, because it's hot.
07:47Same, no calories.
07:48So, you won't get fat from water.
07:50There.
07:51So, I should drink a lot of water, right, Doc?
07:53Yes, hydrate yourself.
07:55Yes, that's right.
07:56So, Lionel, John,
07:59do you have any tips or messages for those who were inspired by your transformation?
08:04Yes.
08:05For them to be like you, half of yourself.
08:07Yes.
08:08Maybe what I can say is,
08:11we should learn to love ourselves.
08:13If we want to last in this world,
08:15we should prioritize our health.
08:17Yes.
08:18Because if you get diabetes,
08:19it's hard to fight diabetes.
08:21Yes.
08:22That's true.
08:23Nice.
08:24Thank you so much, Doc.
08:25And John, congrats.
08:27Yes, congrats.
08:28That's great.
08:29It's really an achievement.
08:30We learned a lot this morning, right, Miss Lyn?
08:33Yes, I don't want to do it anymore.
08:34Calories.
08:35Calories, too.
08:36Me, too.
08:37It's hard.
08:38It's hard to say it fast.
08:39Correct.
08:40It's just the truth, right, Doc?
08:41Yes.
