No one could lose weight this fast from being so overweight without at least having some form of surgery FACT! You can tell he has from his face so why not admit it in the post. All sorts of autoimmune issues can be caused by these kinds of surgeries and fast weight loss FACT!

Hi C,
Thanks for taking the time to comment on Peter’s progress. We are very proud of what he has achieved. Comments like yours make us even happier as it means what Peter has achieved is “unbelievable”, however, it is believable and very achievable.
From reading your comment, I am not quiet sure you understand what the word “fact” means. Just typing FACT in capitals does not make what you wrote any more true. So here are a couple of requests for you:
1. Please provide us with one peer reviewed and reliable study that shows that losing 0.64kg per week over 18 months in impossible. Just one please, but if you can find more than one, I will be happy to see them too…. you won’t find any, but please do try.
2. Please google rates of weight loss. The first response says ” But evidence shows that people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping weight off.” So what Peter has achieved is by all accounts steady and gradual. Not extraordinary or unusual.
3. Please get in contact to organise for you to come down to the gym and meet Peter. You can check him out for those pesky surgery scars (again you won’t find any).
What you will find out is that Peter just steadfastly stuck to the plan. He was consistent day in and day out and his hard work has paid dividends. No secrets or magic pills or surgery, just doing exactly what he has been told will get him to his goals.
BTW, another example on our website has had similar levels of weight loss over extended periods. 25kg’s in 12 months do just under 0.5kg’s a week. Why is her journey believable and not Peter’s?
I look forward to your soonest response, especially to those studies that show that Peter’s weight loss is impossible.
Kind regards
Greg
Reply I do know what a fact is, something that is known to be true. So because I know it, this makes it fact.
You’re missing my point regarding surgery, holistic approaches would not cause scars, hypno surgery the same so lack of scars are no less proof, so showing skin and saying this is proof is moot in your argument. Someone that far gone must have had something, whether it’s what people seem to call “convention surgery” or alternative approaches. I’d just like yourselves and Peter to be honest with the world so it can help others with knowing how to become less of a burden on society and more productive, therefore better with their inner selves.
I believe you’re just going to try and throw this back at me so lets just agree to disagree and leave it there.
Reply C,
I am now 100% sure you have no clue. You don’t understand what a fact is and you are commenting on something you know nothing about.
What I can take from this is that you are 100% a troll and keyboard warrior, so I am going to use the approach of not feeding the trolls any more.
Good day and good luck to you because I think you may just need it in future.

Hi C,
I was going to keep quiet and let this slide however since your second reply I feel it’s important to weigh in on the situation.
Now facts in the English language definition are proved by science, by empirical evidence (Empirical meaning “based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic”). What you have done is taken faith and defined it as true, so really you should have said, “It is by my belief” rather than “FACT”. Then we can see you are either misguided or uneducated.
There are many studies that have proven people can lose weight just by pure calorie deficit, in addition to studies where exercise has been added and yes studies where bariatric surgery has been done to help limit someone’s calorie intake.
Based upon your reply I can’t tell if you think it’s somehow impossible to eat less than the body needs to maintain its fat levels and or it’s shameful to have this help. I’ll get on to that subject in a moment but to be completely clear, with my weight loss I made a very difficult and personal decision to lose the weight, had excellent advice and support from Emily on the nutrition front, awesome training and support on the exercise front from all 4 of the core team (Emily, Paul, Greg and Matt), kept in a calorie deficit, I’ve blead, there’s been a lot of sweat and some tears, and the weight came off, at no point did I have any form of surgery or any “alternative” means to help with weight loss. I have nothing to prove otherwise let alone to you, the only people I need to prove myself to are the people who I asked for help and myself, so I kindly ask that you keep your opinions to yourself.
Right onto the subject of if someone needs help or asks for help losing weight. If they do then that’s a huge step, it takes a lot of strength to do this and I’m proud of anyone who does it, hell I’m proud of anyone who trying as well. How someone loses weight, whether it’s from surgery, different diet styles, pure exercise, having therapy is up to them, none are more right or wrong, all of them have their pros, cos and are highly subjective to the individual. Your last comments “Someone that far gone” and “become less of a burden on society” are completely counter productive and wont help someone, it will do the opposite or maybe this is what you want. You either seem to have a complete lack of faith in anyone’s ability to do something of their own sheer determination or maybe you just get off on trying to put people down and diminish someone’s achievements.
Hugs and Kisses
Pete
