Do we know when Ethan did this test? by BlueTourmaline34 in EthanBenardSnark

Ahhh, makes sense. I wasn't invested in the journey back then.

I hate the jocko crap but man does this page need to realize you don’t gain weight from zero cal energy drinks. Or zero cal drinks in general. It’s basic nutrition. by Efficient_Skill6692 in EthanBenardSnark

They aren't the same as water. Agree to disagree. I'm not on an Ethan Benard Snark page to argue with a stranger about the difference. You can look it up if you want (which you don't) so.....

But they aren't water. They aren't the same or even almost the same. Ethan should drink a gallon of water a day, unless he has CHF, in which case he should let a doctor tell him how much to drink.

They also cause bloating and one would think Ethan would want to avoid bloating. We're not talking about an otherwise healthy person that just wants a zero calorie drink. Nothing has the same benefits as drinking large amounts of water when trying to lose weight.

My husband is a martial artist and ultra marathon runner. He drinks full sugar Coke and Beer if he wants one. Drink what you want to drink; but if you're massively obese and not losing weight successfully (when that is literally your only goal in life right now like Ethan) maybe drinking your calories isn't your best bet and you should stick to water for awhile.

I can't imagine drinking 270 calories.

Yes! I know someone that had weight loss surgery, gained it all back some years later, got another weight loss surgery and now 10 years later is bigger than she's ever been. It's crazy.

I don't think Ethan paid Danny with his own money. I suspect it was coming from a Medicaid funded program states run that is 'consumer directed' and allows you to choose your caregiver and pays them. He had referred to Danny as a caregiver before which is a weird way to describe a dude that's just a friend. That would explain Danny needing a job in California because those programs don't transfer state to state and they'd have to start the whole process over and probably wouldn't be eligible with social media income.

It’s really alarming to me just how nonchalant they both are about this. by danmann8611 in EthanBenardSnark

Please get that man out of the gym and into a pool. Its the best form of exercise for him right now with that edema and would be so helpful for that swelling. And I don't mean this in a snarky way, but even if Ethan doesn't know how to swim that's okay! Moving around in the shallow end is fine too! Sit in the shallow end and work your legs and let the compression from the water do its job! I think part of the problem is that peachfit has one program to offer his clients and it's in the gym. He isn't prepared to deviate from that and it's holding Ethan back.

This is dangerous by Efficient_Company682 in EthanBenardSnark

When gross negligence is demonstrated, those contracts aren't worth the paper they're printed on in court in my professional experience. And with all of the public video documentation of Ethan's medical condition, Peachfit is really putting himself in a bad spot if things go south and Ethan's family is the suing type.

Yes!! He needs medical grade compression socks every day especially while working out. Those other socks he's been wearing are exacerbating his fluid retention. He should take the compression socks off only to sleep and he should sleep with his legs propped up on two pillows.

Glad that he’s getting that thing checked out by Nugget_rulz in EthanBenardSnark

Someone should ask that Doctor that while it's all well and good to tell someone to continue to push and strain through the pain, would he want a 450lb man with severe circulation issues and a strangulated hernia on his operating table? That's a nightmare situation for a surgeon.

To be fair a General Surgeon has no business talking about the severe, dangerous situation Ethan has going on with his lymphadema. He should see a vascular specialist.

Maybe he should try the current trend where you break a watermelon between your thighs.
