I Lost 160 lbs.
My Kids Were the
Reason Why.

My kids called it "Daddy's big fat gut." I promised them I'd lose it.

My name is Junior. At my heaviest, I was 380 pounds. I was chasing everything in life — food, instant gratification, the easy road — and getting nowhere.

Then I looked at my two kids and asked myself: what kind of example am I? But honestly — I did it for me. Because when you fix yourself, everything else follows. Now I can enjoy my life, be present with my kids every single day, and actually catch up to them when they run.

I cut alcohol completely. I started intermittent fasting. When I broke my fast, I ate only high-protein foods — cottage cheese, yogurt, nuts, seeds, meat. I cut sugar out completely — and that includes carbs, because carbs ultimately convert into sugar. Once I started losing significant weight and needed fuel for my workouts, I gravitated towards the most beneficial carbs: rice and potatoes. Nothing processed. Nothing fried.

But more than the food, it was my mindset. Tony Robbins said it best: "The pain of staying the same must be greater than the pain of change." That hit me hard — and I never looked back.

I went from 380 lbs to 220 lbs. I became addicted to being healthy. This plan is an idea of how I did it — and it can work for you too.
