‘Week Of Weight Loss Success 2′ Interview With Jerome Biggars

Filed under: Health — @ September 3, 2010

In Episode 398 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we bring to a close this special “Week of Weight Loss Success 2″ where we’ve heard from some pretty spectacular weight loss success stories in Deryl Williams, Charles Cicciarella, Caroline Jhingory, and Traci Marshall. But we’ve saved the biggest (LITERALLY!) and best for last in a 47-year old man named Jerome Biggars who has a very-appropriately-titled blog called “Watch Me Lose 300 Pounds”. He’s been featured nationally on The Today Show for dropping triple digits times three times in a little more than a year and a half as a former nearly 500-pounder! Listen to Jerome talk about how he got to weigh close to 500 pounds with all of the health complications that come with that, his heartbreaking Wal-mart story, how he found the Medi Weight Loss low-carb plan, how the embarrassing “booth” experience and “golf” incident got him to seriously think about shedding the pounds, his eagerness to get going with his weight loss plan BEFORE January, the regular exercise he uses to complement his nutrition, the haunting nature of negative comments made to him when he was a morbidly obese man, his fear of dying so he could be there for his grandchildren, his frustration with the low-calorie, low-fat diet being promoted as healthy for everyone, the disappearance of his health complications through his spectacular weight loss, how this experience has given him a mission in life, the obvious loose skin after his weight loss that required a tummy tuck, the specifics of his diet plan and why it worked well for him, why he chose to eat more “lean” cuts of meat, the fat sources he consumed on a daily basis, the way he eats now compared with when he was losing weight, the negative external forces he’s already been getting, his specific strategy for never gaining back the weight, his desire to take this experience to the next level through speaking engagements and becoming certified as a personal trainer, his experience on The Today Show, how he overcame his diet soda addiction, and whether he’s gonna write a book about his weight loss success.
