Is it possible to help a fat person lose fat if you don't know what it's like to be fat? Of course, but in order to truly motivate a fat person it helps to have walked a mile in their shoes while eating their type of food. So with fork in hand I intentionally increased my bodyweight by feasting on high-fat foods day and night. That's my "before and after" picture on the cover. I ballooned from an ideal bodyweight of 150 pounds to a portly 225 pounds in just over seven months. How did I drop the cloak of winter fat? By breaking all the rules of western dieting! How long have I kept the fat off? More than twenty years!
