Tim Kaufman of FatManRants was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) in his early
twenties. He was in chronic pain most of his life. By the time he had reached the age of 37 he was addicted to Fentanyl, alcohol, and fast food. At over 400 pounds he was unable to perform simple daily tasks. He had many chronic health issues and was almost immobile. He had lost his interest in life and had almost given up.
Tim started a journey to regain his health. He started to change one small thing a ta time. He is now an athlete that thrives on a plant-based whole food lifestyle and leads a healthy, happy, productive and very active life that is free of all medications he was once on. His passion is to spread the message that anyone can transition to a healthy, active lifestyle and dramatically change their life regardless of their current situation or size.

Ooh I love this saying and wowww soooo true!
He was fantastic! That is real life! Please add another week of addiction. This is so helpful. I really need to hear more about food addiction from real people! Not a doctor who has never been fat. Doctors are good intermittently. You know!
First do no harm to self or others has a corollary. Those who self harm necessarily harm others because we are all connected. It’s very inspirational to hear a story like this which demonstrates that we can be way out on the edge and still be able to choose to come back.
His biggest mistake tips really rang true fir me! Thanks!
Sooo inspirational- best talk ever !!!!
This guy is wonderful.
it’s my fourth time listening to Tim’s presentation and it’s just pure gold. THANK YOU, CHEF AJ, for giving these wonderful people (like you!) this amazing stage to get their beautiful messages out into the world!
Phenomenal. Tim, thank you for being you. And thank you for sharing!
Hey Tim, I would have thought you were "too far gone" too. Hearing your comeback is almost unbelievable. Just amazing the power of plants, exercise, and the love of family. Thank you, so so inspirational. Two points I loved in Tim's talk: If you rationalize your problem, that can be a sign of addiction--and 2. We never recover but we're in rocovery our whole lives.
Ive been following FatManRants in FB for several years. I went to high school with Tim. His presentation is off the charts, as is his transformation. When I go back to our hometown. I try to get to his restaurant. God bless Heather and your family and God bless Tim.
This video was awesome! Habits are better than goals, make a lot of sense. Thanks!
I never get tired of hearing Tim Kaufman's story. It's just SO inspiring.
Omg! Chef AJ , Tim is fantastic! I learned so much!!!! You definitely need to get him on your next summit. Thankyou so so much. A lot of life lessons. Thankyou Tim for sharing.
Great presentation and amazing story! Very inspirational.

Wow this video made me so emotional I cried so much and thought about my own addictions and about life and death and transformation. Thank you so much Chef AJ for having Tim on and thank you Tim for sharing your story and thoughts. I'm really inspired to change.
Tim is a wonderful speaker with a great story to tell. Thanks AJ
This made me so happy to hear I actually got tears in my eyes. Wonderful story.

So inspiring! Thank you for having him as your guest!
What an amazing interview! So inspiring
I've watched so many of your programs I couldn't count but this is the one I liked the most where you're interviewing others. Anything with Dr. Barnard will find me watching...he's hilarious!! Way to live Tim Kaufman 👏
Tim is just so lovely, what a presentation! So many great phrases and sayings :) thank you so much

Who was in charge of his pain management? Whoever that was, they should be behind bars. My eyes nearly popped out and rolled off my desk hearing how much unnecessary narcotics were introduced to his system. Fentanyl is already 80-100 times more potent than Morphine; he was already at the top of the mountain with that narcotic, so any painkiller they administered in addition to that would be absolutely useless. I am so sorry you were mislead and treated this way, but I'm so glad you've made your way out of that Hell.
Wow! This was amazing.
Thank you so much you both!! It's a lifetime struggle. Very true. This interview is very encouraging. God bless you both. Greetings from europe.
Tim, your story is so inspirational to me! I connect so well with the ease of making excuses for not suceeding. I I do it more often than I should, then kick myself the next day for being in the same spot as I was the day before. Again...your story inspires me to get on the right track. Thank you!🙂
So glad I went back to listen to Tim's interview. He is so inspirational and charming!
Thank you so much Cheff AJ! Thank you for bringing such an inspirational person to talk about the struggles of food addiction, and the possibility of overcoming and conquer your own weaknesses when it becomes to food. Thank you both 💓
This is such an amazing interview ty so much!
This story has really helped me today, thank you so much!
What an incredible story, Tim. I lost count of how many times I got emotional listening to it, but I'm so glad you chose life. Sometimes all it takes is the right person to deliver the right word to change your (my) mind, and you just did that for me. Thank you for the many messages (I received) that were embedded in your story. Thanks Chef AJ for having Tim on your channel.
Tim is awesome. So motivational, just what I need to keep going.
What an inspiring story. I am very teary right now. Tim you are such an inspiration 😊
Plants 4-ever! Great interview!
Exercise is an addiction when it becomes an obsession and when you disregard the negative effects it has on your body. I’m not an expert but I know people who are exercise addicts and it’s not health that motivates them, it’s fear.
Wow; amazing story! Can relate on a lot of aspects! Kudos to him for doing this and overcoming so many obstacles
I admit I have no power over doughnuts. I am resigned to just always having to limit their access to me. Which is really limiting certain people’s access to me and certain social services and events access to me. Which means I have to seek out more appropriate and supportive social situations. Which is good for me. So doughnuts (and cupcakes, cookies, pastries) give me important information about social opportunities and encourage me to choose wisely.
thank you for presenting this story. Tim´s lesson on the ugly side of addiction is so true. I have struggled with food addiction for years and what he has to say about controlling it is so real. Tim´s willingness to share is story and what he has learned is an inspiration. Tim you are a special guy!!!
What a powerful journey. Thank you for sharing😀Congratulations 👏👏👏👏
Wow what an awesome and humble person.
Great Story!! Thank You BOTH 🙏🙏👌👌👍👍👏👏👏👏
Chef A.J. you're amazing. Thanx for bringing us such incredible stories of such inspiring people. ❤️

This was amazing. Beyond amazing! It's the first video I've ever stopped so I could take notes. Doug Lisle is interesting and has great info, but I don't feel love coming from him. I feel love coming from Tim. It feels like he wants for me what he got for himself, and there are some deep, deep revelations in this. Thank you so much for making this video free to the public!!

Getting a drink of milk without technology or tools! So true, the neighbors would freak, the smell alone would be too much. A great example of common sense, thank you for this!

I couldn't walk a marathon if someone was chasing me with a flaming pitchfork. He says he never saw a fat deer, etc. but Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos, Cows, etc. are all eating plant based diets. How much of his spine damage happened as a result of him doing ultra marathons and stuff like that?

Those animals came to be from our Creator in those sizes. They didn't become fat or large animals from over eating or being addicted to food. Perhaps you're trying to find a home in his story to excuse your behavior or lack of? You can get on a good path once you dont self sabotage 💙

Does Tim have any thoughts on heart disease and the WFPB life?
