Quickly googling it shows articles of him claiming to lose 75 pounds over 3 months, without exercising. Even starting at 300 lbs, running a daily 2822 calorie deficit for 3 months seems insane.

There has to be some embellishing of the numbers. It's highly improbable that at 322 pounds someone could eat 1000 calories per day (his claim) and be at a 2800 calorie deficit with zero exercise.

I'm not saying it's not true, but I'm skeptical of the numbers.

If you lose 75 pounds in 3 months, it's certainly not all fat. He lost water weight, muscle, even skin. This drops the calories required. His "no exercise" also wasn't the same as sedentary. He does shows in Vegas six days a week.
