hello everyone I have a special guest uh sometimes I do videos on a lot of different topics today we’re going to do one on a really amazing success story from Bart Ratliff and so um this guy I saw he sent a video and just literally blew me away in five months he lost 90 pounds okay 90 pounds it’s incredible so welcome Bart thanks for for being on Dr Robert thank you so much it’s a it’s an honor to be uh speaking to you number one just because of all the wonderful education he’d give me over the last uh six months and uh the results it’s produced wow well it’s quite impressive I mean I know some people might be watching and they might they probably maybe they lost less than they might be a little bit more frustrated but you know what um I want to cover some of the things that you did and some of the barriers that you ran into because people always want to know like okay what did he do so let’s first talk a little bit about um what type of pattern of fasting did you do did you do you know 16 hours 18 hours what type of fasting you do but at the back by the way the way I jumped in and this started on May 23rd of 22. I I started at one meal a day and uh through the education through videos I knew how effective that would be for me and to say the least my first couple of days you know it’s a transition and of course had the had the headaches the first day or two but I knew that I took I was 100 committed and devoted because I knew this would work performing and I kind of just kind of held fast and stayed the course and because I knew it would it would I would no longer have that so one meal a day I’m a ketogenic diet that’s good I think um you did mention this before and I want to bring this up I mean you tried this a while ago but at that time there was some stress involved you know and I always bring this up like um when you have family or spouses that maybe are not on the same page it’s more difficult I mean it’s crazy more difficult because like uh kind of create you know when are you gonna eat and then you gotta be in front of the food or just a lot of disagreements so I think you did have a situation that through you basically you started it a long time ago and then it worked but then you got off because of that for a period of time so maybe you can just touch on that it’s bad you’re bad a couple years ago and it had some success I was actually referred to a one meal a day by a friend of mine uh effort out of Salt Lake City and I said one meal a day are you nuts you know and then I did some research on it I I kept on hearing about this omad I thought it was Oman I said this must be some guy that created this plan you know I said oh one meal a day it makes sense yeah right so uh but yes we were uh my significant other at the time we we started it and we had uh success and we were luckily I was I found you on through YouTube on the ketogenic you know to include that with the one meal a day and then helped us stay focused and then after several months you know then there was some other ideas shared and uh sometimes the uh uh negativity and the environment that you’re in um sometimes it she focuses you on your ultimate goal even though you’ve seen how effective it is and I let um my um I just we just kind of got off track and I kind of got off track even though it was working very well for me but when you have other influences in your life at the time it definitely can deter somebody and and I was thinking more about somebody else than myself and that’s that’s kind of what happened but luckily I found my way back so so a couple years later you picked it back up and then you you were at um your Peak weight was like 313 pounds right well that’s when I was started no my pick weight I was I was 335 when I started a couple years ago man and but luckily I didn’t gain it all back and I was sitting into 3 13 when I started back in May at the end of May so um question when you were in um High School were you were you a thin guy growing up in Chinese I oh I was always a big guy I grew up in high school I think I was just thinking about this the other day I was talking to a friend of mine that’s also been inspired by my story and even in high school I think my junior year was 260. and um and then because I wasn’t even I ended up going going to six four I think it was my sophomore year in college but it was only like six two when I graduated but I was 260 then I came down to 2 30. I was you know back and forth a lot of pressure on my health and uh my always on diets oh really yours I you know so I went through the yo-yo string over the years but um so that that yeah I was a big guy in high school and then I kind of slimmed down and then when College happened you know back in the 80s saying you know I I was having a good time and it was certainly not focused then on my health and nutrition back then to say the least as it’s been like that for many many years but uh but yeah I I was I think the highest was in in high school even in junior high when I was a I was bigger I always played football but 216 was usually 260 and then I I would go down and then like come back up so so a couple years ago when you decided uh before you even started looking and discovered like oh keto um was there something that motivated you that said you know what I need to do this uh actually my significant other uh she had an event coming up and we decided uh she was starting to uh uh to be better and and do some working out and then I of course I wanted to support my wife and uh so I joined along with her and then I as I was doing some research 20 years 20 years previous I had done uh read a book called Body for Life by Bill Phillips and of course his philosophy I really loved his philosophy on the strength training and the cardio doing the high intensity uh hit hitch training which I really loved but he was more of a six Miller guy uh six mil a day guy and that’s what my mindset has been all these years up until a couple years ago and um but that was one of the reasons we started it and then there was a guy that was featured in that body for black book Everett happened to live in Salt Lake and we got together and he told me about the one meal a day and then uh we started doing that then a couple weeks later we got back together and I said well I’m kind of tired all the time I said we ought to do more fat he understood you know find out you know do keto and that’s how actually I found you without the burger wow um and then as far as um the meals that you ate during this process um did you did you do it exactly like the book or did you kind of have some times where you fell off the wagon like uh you know and like what kind of uh discipline did you have as you gone gone through this to keep your car can be enough for my current Journey are you talking about for my current Journey yeah okay oh well you know what I I I focus in on my Mills one of the things I always try to focus in on are as you say especially on my protein I will do a grass-fed uh uh grass-fed grass finish uh hamburger I mean hamburgers probably uh 70 of my meals so I’ll do basically I’ll buy the pound the grass-fed grass finish beef I’ll cut it in half I’ll do eight ounces one day and then I’ll do that two to three but usually three to four days a week and then I’ll mix in some salmon some Wild Cuts salmon and then some eggs and then maybe one day uh once every couple weeks I’ll throw in eggs as my protein and then of course I always do my big salad and it’s kind of funny over the last six months I mentioned this in that video I sent you but I I kind of start my day watching one of your videos I love how you you five to six days a week you always update a new video so a lot of times I’ll run through and kind of see the videos that I might not have seen or it’s been a while since I’ve seen but one of the things I
