Doucette also explained that a person cannot hold on that long and said, ?And eventually your willpower runs out.? He knows how social media influences people’s body image and even said, ?Yeah it’s impressive to lose weight quicker and yeah it gets more views, more followers more money more everything but it comes at what cost?? Then he went back to complimenting Brently who took the right step to lose weight slowly. Doucette has previously talked about weight loss as well but in a different context.

Doucette ?said, ?You can do something about it, you can go on a diet, you can start doing cardio.? The 47-year-old differed in perspective from the 25-year-old and encouraged people to take responsibility for their health.
