And I lost ten pounds and I eventually lost twenty pounds and I and I have not gained that back. So we talked about five six years and because I remember, I was like, I got all the way down to one ninety and I think I started when I was like about two twenty five something like that. So I lost a lot of weight and I eventually came back. So I stayed between one ninety five one ninety nine. You know, that's my weight loss. And it was because I read the book. Now, I want to talk about that book initially before we get into personally getting background about OBI. Why did you write the book with Morris Chestnut?

And I lost ten pounds and I eventually lost twenty pounds and I and I have not gained that back. So we talked about five six years and because I remember, I was like, I got all the way down to one ninety and I think I started when I was like about two twenty five something like that. So I lost a lot of weight and I eventually came back. So I stayed between one ninety five one ninety nine. You know, that's my weight loss. And it was because I read the book. Now, I want to talk about that book initially before we get into personally getting background about OBI. Why did you write the book with Morris Chestnut?

So the reason why I wrote it with Morris was, you know, I obviously helped him get in shape for a movie. And even though people don't believe that, he came to me and he was thirty three pounds overweight, in the worst shape of his life, and I helped him lose thirty three pounds in twelve weeks, and everybody was so fascinating with his transformation. What did you do to get so lean? So then I was like, how can I think I thought we had something this relationship together. He was on a magazine cover and everybody was talking about his weight loss. When he was doing press more than the movie and the role. So I said, mo, Morris, I think we got something here. I want to do a twelve week transformation book, but on the everyday average person. I don't want to make it where it's you know, how to get a celebrity in great shape. I want to make it on everyday average people. So because I'm in shape and Morris is this celebrity who got lean and ripped, I didn't think that people could connect. So I felt, Okay, the best way that people can connect with a weight loss book or a book about helping someone get in shape in ninety days is to do a focus group on everyday average people that need to lose anywhere from thirty to four to fifty pounds. So I did a focus group. I put out a focus group on Facebook and said, anyone that wants to lose weight for free, message me, and I'm going to help you lose weight in twelve weeks. And I had them follow the diet and exercise program that I was going to create for the book while I was writing a book at the same time with Morris, and so those before and afters where are testimonials, They had their unique stories in the book, and then there before and afters were on the back cover of the book. So you had everyday average people that I could transform. You know, when you're in shape and you're fit, it's so hard for people to connect and identify with you. But when you have people that you've actually worked with and transformed and lose weight, then people can pay attention to you. And so that's my whole thing, is that I believe that I was put on this earth for a reason to really help people get healthy, get healthy, lose weight, exercise, eat right, and motivate the everyday average person that this is a requirement if you want to live a long life. Is it gonna guarantee you from not getting any chronic disease? No, but it's sure we're lower it will lower the risk tremendously of any chronic health diseases that could happen as we age.

Obi? What is that?

Obi? What is that?

So you know what the diet is? Basically the type of food that you would eat that would keep you accountable to being healthy. So I know the word diet is a word that people don't like to use. They rather use healthy food. But obviously it's a it's a plan. It's an assortment of foods that you would eat regularly, is part of a normal healthy template staple that you would follow over time to make sure that you're held accountable that will help you become healthier. You know. So it's like hey, if I if I create a diet program for you, it's like, hey, Rashan, this is what I want you to eat right, and these are the type of foods you should eat. These are your options. And if you eat this and you follow this over time, you're going to stay healthy and you're going to keep a healthy weight. You know.

To eat, especially deserts.

To eat, especially deserts.

I there are tremendous pictures of me eating huge amounts of food. Before I took the four I had this book in my life. And when I started looking at the book, now they have cheats in the book where you can still eat desserts. You know, you can still get a little ice cream on, a little cookie on.

That shocked me.

That shocked me.

Okay, but what my biggest takeaway was It's created discipline in my life that I'm telling you, Obi, I still carry today. I still in my mind, I still not so much hear your voice, mors voice in my head. But I learned you guys have trained me to go. That's enough for shot. You can walk away. And that's the biggest part that people have in weight gain. They don't know when to walk away. But your book, that book trained me mentally how to walk away. That is why I have not gained the weight back. Like Rebel Wilson. She just came out and apologized to everybody because she regained thirty pounds. Why do I have to apologize to anybody. I've not regained that weight because I'm still carrying the disciplines of that book the cut lose up to ten pounds and ten days and scolch your best body, and it worked.

You know what, man, It makes me feel good man when I hear that, because I have gotten so many testimonials for men and women from a lot of women. To be honest with you said, I lost sixty pounds, I lost seventy pounds. We had one guy who was part of our focus group that was obese, and you know, ninety days wasn't enough for him. So I agreed to work with him for a year to help him lose all of this weight, provided that he made himself available for you know, being a part of inside the book and any pressed that would be needed to promote the book. So I work with This guy's name is Mike Hopper, and I help him lose one hundred and seventeen pounds in twelve months following the principles of the book. And then when we did the Steve Harvey Show to promote the book, he you know, he was. They brought him over on the show to show his before and after transformation. And that was probably the transformation to me that really gave me a tremendous amount of national credibility because this guy wasn't this guy wasn't overweight, he was obese. And then also it was great was that all his blood levels dropped out, cholesterol levels dropped, his blood pressure levels dropped. His doctor was saying, what are you on? What blood pressure medication? What cholesterol medication? He said, no, I'm not on any medication. I just started to follow this this program from this book. I just started eating right and exercising and all my all my levels dropped to normal.

You know, well, you know, I have to bring up another celebrity that this young man Obi has been working with that played out weight loss in the public's eye. Unlike Morris Morriage just showed up in shape. This guy was on TV five days a week and he was losing weight. And then he made the big announcement. Stephen A. Smith on ESPN's first take was under your discipline and I say discipline, weight training, weight gued, what to eat and all.

You deliver results. How are you? Why are you accomplishing that? Obie?

You deliver results. How are you? Why are you accomplishing that? Obie?

Well, you know what, I think that the number one thing is when you work with anyone and they get great results, people talk, right, they talk about you, They spread your name and your word, and then it goes to and then it filters and it spreads. And so I think for me is that anytime someone that high profile finds out about me, what are they gonna do. They're gonna google, They're gonna tap in your name and see if what's out there about you other than this referral I got. And so for me, because I've written so many articles, so many health and wellness articles on every platform you can think of that's online, there's a lot of content that I've created. You know, you're talking probably over a thousand articles online and stuff that I've created, content that I've created over fifteen to twenty years. So you know, when you use all that content I've created, and then you know not you can't really find a bad thing said about me or written about me, and you've got all this free weight loss content. Then it just gives you that extra credibility. And I also believe too. I hate to say it. I know we live in this vanity society, but people at that level don't want to work with you unless you look, unless you're in shape and fit.

I can answer this question, but I'm going to talk here the general public and also hear from an expert. Can you still eat what you want and still lose weight?

Yes?

Yes?

You can. You definitely can because and the reason why you can is because when you're losing weight, to lose weight, you need to be in a coloric deficit. What that means is that you have to be burning mortality than your consuming. So I know people don't want to hear this, but it always will come down to calories. So let's just say that maybe say you're consuming fifteen hundred calories a day, and four to five hundred those calories is a cheap meal. Okay, so that cheat meal, if you consume that cheat meal, but you're still within that fifteen hundred calories, and that still puts you in a deficit and you're gonna lose weight. The only thing about it is that if you consume a high amount of you know, cheat cheap meals, then obviously it's going to be unhealthy internally. It's gonna affect your you know, your your cholesterol levels, your blood sugar levels, stuff like that. So yes, you can, but you just the most important thing is to be able to have the discipline to use it as a reward for eating healthy, you know, through healthy throughout the weekend. I love the rule of the eighty twenty rule. I'll even say seventy thirty rule. Okay, say for someone that wants to gain a little bit more indulgent, more cookies and you know, you know you Rashan, You're a baker, right, you love your cakes and your cookies and all that, all right, I'm gonna move with the seventy thirty for you. All right, Well you can thirty percent of the time indulged. You still can still maintain a healthy weight even doing seventy thirty. Hell, you can even do it sixty forty, provided that you're exercising. You still gotta move right, right, You still got to burn the calories. You can't just stay sedentary, you know.

Correct, Yeah, wow, you got you definitely have to stand. I think the thing about it is this is that you can take a drug, but it still doesn't teach you lifestyle habits. You still have to you still have to you still have to eat foods, you still have to eat enough food, you still have to exercise, and so you know, when people are reliant on a drug or a peal and negates the habits that just post to execute consistently to be able to keep the weight off. Yeah, well, it's great to be able to lose weight, but what you know, it sucks when you have to when you gain it back once you get off the drug, and now all of a sudden you don't have the appetite suppression effect anymore, you know what I mean, the pharmaceutical appetite suppression effects. You know. So I am. I'm not somebody who's going to tell someone not to get on those ethics if they need it, But well, what I would say is that if you are going to get on something like that, be mindful of the side effects. Make sure that you use that as an opportunity to eat, right, to exercise and move. So when you are able to get off of the drug, which you're going to have to get off at some point in time, you still are incorporating positive lifestyle habits that enables you to keep the weight off and not really gain and gain a minimal amount of weight back if that happens.
