Support NeoGAF

[The_Mike]

Where I'm from its call a joke, don't take everything so personally.

I don't take anything personal, I ain't Phil lol.

But it is GAF.
Which I don't take personal as well

 

[Ar¢tos]

Yes, but they make it much easier with a near 100% success rate. What's the issue?

It seems healthier to lose weight gradually through exercise and it also gives more time for the skin to readjust.
It also strengthens muscles, isn't just about losing fat.

 

[clarky]

Phil and I are almost the same age so I get him wanting to lose some weight and not have those extra lbs stressing his heart

Personally I think he looks healthier now

Yeah the OP i posted he looks miles better. A couple of months ago, he did not. Way too gaunt.

 

[TheMule1983]

TimDog is so obsessed with Xbox and Phil, he did the same thing!

If it was that easy then 43% of the world wouldn't be overweight.

Dude is in a better spot health wise now than he was a couple of years ago.

 

[ADiTAR]

Thanks Wegovi!

 

[m14]

Bashing him personally because he is an enemy of the GAF-state.

Pretty sad to see people so invested in console gaming that everything has to be war and personal.

Gaben is the only one everyone loves despite platform faction

Quite a few people on this board have a bizarre obsession with Phil Spencer's appearance and it's for the exact reason you've outlined.

Almost as if we are on a videogame board talking about all things to do with and surrounding the videogame industry.

Weird eh?

 

[Baemono]

Everything is turned into console warring.

It's a joke, did you see the thread title ?

When you see the usual suspects giving mocking emojis to comments where you say you appreciate a person's healthier appearance now than a few months ago... Then you remember you're on Neogaf.

I wanna give Sarah Bond a big wet smooch

It is. Especially when no-one else is subjected to the same level of scrutiny.

Give me your fat pictures and I'll make another comedy thread to even things out if you like.

Well if you're feeling brave (unlikely, I know) make one about someone associated with PlayStation instead and see how far that gets you.

I've not seen anyone else drop serious weight recently. However if I spot Donkey Kong (or Astrobot) 150lb lighter than he was in Bananza any time soon i'll definitely bring it to the boards attention.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Who even knows the names, let alone faces of the people running playştation?
All completely forgettable, they need a name tag with job title on them at all times or people have no idea who they are.
The playstation age of House, Hirai, etc is gone.
Now the faceless suits run the show.

Herman carries it much better. Playstation wins again mate sorry.

 

[Rambone]

The Xbox satyr hasn't aged well either.

 

[m14]

Hermie keeps slim because he knows he's going to have to model a full body wearable skintight haptic suit to show off the next Horizon game.

 

[SmokSmog]

Seriously the dude is disappearing. He will be guest starring in Grounded 3 at this rate.

Satya Nadella told him to trim the fat at xbox division and Phil misunderstood it.

 

[Cakeboxer]

A bodyshaming thread like that seems pretty out of place in a gaming forum, even though it was immediately clear that, once again, something like this would get more participation and popularity than many threads about actual games.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Not on this picture. He looks perfectly fine, and must feel much more healthy with all the fat he lost.

If your definition of healthy looking is "skinny", then yes.

 

[Baemono]

If your definition of healthy looking is "skinny", then yes.

He has a vein in his right biceps, he's working out, looks great and healthier than the previous Philzempic photos

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

If your definition of healthy looking is "skinny", then yes.

Healthy weights for men are indeed fairly skinny, its better for your heart

 

[damidu]

its %100 ozempic, makes you look 10 years older in 1, when you lose all that face fat too rapidly.
still he is probably healthier now.

 

[StereoVsn]

Yes, but they make it much easier with a near 100% success rate. What's the issue?

Yep, I have been trying to get back into exercise and diet regime last 10 years and it really hasn't worked well.

Starting on the Zep now. I used to work out all the time in high school, college and after, but once the kids hit it all kind of went to shit .

So good for Phil, it's certainly a much healthier state. But I don't think people need to be so serious about having a couple of laughs.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Wild that some folks said he looks sick or old. The guy is 57, he genuinely looks great for his age IMO.

 

[StereoVsn]

It seems healthier to lose weight gradually through exercise and it also gives more time for the skin to readjust.
It also strengthens muscles, isn't just about losing fat.

Of course it would be healthier to willpower through a proper healthy diet and 5+ hours a week of exercise.

But it's very hard to shift to that train and it is going to take time to get results while making sure not to slip. It's genuinely tough to do this. That's especially so if you have a full time job, family, friends, other things to take care of as well.

So the new GLP drugs help by controlling those cravings, reducing appetite and more. You still will want to have a proper diet and do weightlifting (too much muscle loss). But they help shortcut that start and keep your mind from going off and eating crap.

 

[deriks]

The man is stressed out for sure

57yo... I guess that he is waiting to be 60 to retire

 

[diffusionx]

He has talked about the weight loss in some stream but I couldn't find it the last time this topic was up. Iirc he was cutting sugar among other things. Risk of diabetes perhaps?
Most people go fat when they get older, especially those with muscles in their younger years. Maybe he just want to catch the falling knife of aging before it's too late to not end up with sagging man boobs and a Studio Ghibli droop face?

yea all those rich and famous people who lost 20+ pounds right around the same time ozempic came out just did it by cutting out sugar

It seems healthier to lose weight gradually through exercise and it also gives more time for the skin to readjust.
It also strengthens muscles, isn't just about losing fat.

For 99.9999% of people (look at studies), the options aren't do it gradually through exercise or do it fast through ozempic. The options are don't lose any weight or lose it with ozempic. Look at our society with a massive obesity problem, clearly diet and exercise aren't working for most people.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

Chinajoy sounds like a fucking Chinese brothel LMAO

 

[KungFucius]

Phil aged badly, must be doing his best to fight off nutella and shareholders.

The bearded guy is still around and that side eye...

He's nearly 60 years old and lost weight for his health? He looks good.

It's funny. Basically he looked a little younger than average then aged typically and people declare it as bad. FFS people start to show their age in their 50s.

 

[Chittagong]

Shouldn't people try diet and exercise before moving to these things?

Doing resistance training during the shot and not losing too quick is essential for minimising muscle loss and loose skin.

But no need to diet before, although most going on it certainly will have tried everything before. The shot just massively reduces any impulses to eat and works instantaneously. You might look at a BLT sandwich, think that it looks delicious indeed, but you feel no need to eat it. Or have one candy, enjoy it, and not reach for a second one.

[Elios83]

It's his business and his health.
But the quick weight loss aged his face terribly.

 

[adamsapple]

Maybe I should release the ball now.

 

[roosnam1980]

his ears look big

 

[diffusionx]

this is a side effect of ozempic

still better than being a fat lard with all the health problems it comes with as you age.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Let's all check in when we're pushing sixty and post pictures of ourselves.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Cutting sugar and alcohol does a world of difference and you notice it within just a couple months. Work up a good sweat 2-3 times a week, avoid processed foods... there's no crazy secret behind it. Most people just have no self control or discipline.

Switch your sausage muffin and cheese breakfast with a banana, some nuts or granola. Once you get in the habit, it makes it easier.

 

[Radical_3d]

Americans and Ozempic, name a more iconic duo.

He looks great! Prob Ozempic or Mounjaro and def gym. Good for him!

 

[clarky]

In my experience that has the opposite effect.

That's what happens you either stay fat die early or lose the weight and live longer you don't see fat 100 year olds do you

Facts.

The oldest known obese person was Daniel Lambert who lived from 1770 to 1809 and was famous for his large size. He was an English gaol keeper and animal breeder from Leicester, and his weight reached 700 lb (320 kg) by 1805.

 

[Fess]

Not saying they all cut sugar lol, just talking about Phil. I wish I could find the stream, was just a small thing said inbetween segments, think it was Destin but not sure.

Either way people where I live has lost weight rapidly the last couple of years from popularized sugar free diets and concerns about diabetes.
Problem seems to be to keep the weight… They all swell up again in like a year.

I tried cutting sugar as well, I don't need it for weight but I can fall asleep after eating something sweet and wanted to check if it was blood sugar levels spiking. But I couldn't handle the temperament changes… I made better metal though!

 

[lh032]

phil looks great
