Fat Burning Bible - Fat and Look Like a Celeb

[sagasan]

More than a few times, he looked a heavyset woman or fat fellow in the eye and said with a smile, "Do as I say, not as I do." Shortly after he turned 30 years of age, however, Dr. Nick began experiencing declining health and a host of unusual symptoms that led him to a doctor's Fat Burning Bible Review examination room. A week later, he learned the bad news: he had testicular cancer. The surgical excision of the right testes and aggressive radiation over 12 weeks saved his life--and caused some soul-searching. The way Nick saw it, he had dodged the cancer bullet, but there was another round in the chamber: his gargantuan weight had to be causing incredible amounts of stress on his organs--heart, lung and liver, as well as his skeletal frame. He wondered how much stress he was putting on his knees, which were bearing such a severe load.

One day, Nick stood on two scales--one for each foot. Each needle came to rest on "233 1/2." A fourth-grader could do the math: Dr. Nick Yphantides, the jolly doc with the Santa Claus-like image, weighed in at a hefty 467 pounds. Nick was scared. His cancer had forced him to face his mortality, and now he was sure that each bite of an In-N-Out 4x4 brought him one swallow closer to the grave. Something needed to be done. Nick was tired of dressing in XXXXL T-shirts and tent-sized gym pants, tired of booking uncrowded red-eye flights so that he wouldn't have to buy a second seat, tired of gawkers staring at his monstrous midsection in restaurants. Ahead of him was a future filled with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and debilitating diabetes--unless he made a radical lifestyle change and lost a ton of weight. Well, maybe not a ton, but 200 pounds would be a good start, he figured.

In April 2000, Nick gave a one-year notice that he would be stepping down and leaving the Escondido Community Health Center. Then he began formulating a game plan. Since he wasn't going to work, he needed something to do--a diversion to keep his mind off being so hungry. That's it! Nick loved baseball (or was it those ballpark franks?), so he decided to drive around the Fat Burning Bible country and visit all 30 major league ballparks and watch baseball games. He calculated that he had been consuming 5,600 calories a day to maintain his weight. To lose weight slowly but surely, he would embark on a liquid fast--drinking a protein supplement offering just 800 calories a day. On April 1, 2001, Nick sailed off in a used RV -- a vehicle he christened the USS Spirit of Reduction -- with the intention of becoming half the man he used to be. His father rode shotgun. Going cold turkey from food gave Nick the shakes, just like any junkie coming down off a high. "I was so hungry that I would have eaten a cigarette butt dipped in mustard," he said.

Two cities known for their gastronomical delights were particularly painful to visit: Kansas City, for its butter-fried steaks; and New Orleans, for its Cajun-style fish and shrimp. At times the only thing that kept him going, he said, was knowing that hundreds of people back home had pledged varying amounts of money for every pound he lost--money that would go to the Escondido Community Healthy Center and the California Center for the Arts. That unique accountability contributed toward helping Nick accomplish the goal he set out for. At first, the pounds melted off Dr. Nick like a snowman standing in the Sahara desert--seventeen pounds in the first week. After that initial surge of encouragement, his weight loss went from a gusher to a steady drip-drip as he continued to drink protein shakes flavored with diet root beers and diet Orange Crush soft drinks. In Seattle on July 2, he had his weekly weigh-in under a doctor's supervision. That day, he learned that he had lost 103 pounds in three months, or an average of 1.1 pounds per day.
