Answer:

There are two independent clauses in this sentence.

“In fact, the last time he tried to lose weight, he ended up gaining weight

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent clause is a sentence that can stand alone. It must contain a subject, and verb, and express a complete thought.

A subject is a noun that is doing the action or being written about. The subject of both sentences is "he".

A verb is an action word that describes what the noun is doing "losing weight/gaining weight".

Although both clauses are vague, they express complete thoughts.
