When Daniel Swift was thirty-seven, and weighing over 300 pounds, he found himself in the emergency room with severe chest pains. This was the wake-up call that changed his way of thinking and his life. Strengthened by a sense that he was literally fighting for his life, the author studied and discarded many "foolproof" diets and finally embarked on a program that he designed to fit his personal needs and that worked with the demands of life. In one year, Swift lost over seventy pounds and regained energy, a zest for life, and confidence. In his informative and often humorous book Diary of A Former Fat Man: My Real-World, Year-Long Journey From Obesity to A Healthier Weight And Lifestyle, Swift honestly and openly shares what worked as well as what didn’t and why and he utilizes his finely tuned research and analysis skills to shed light on some of today’s hottest weight loss, nutrition and fitness ideas along the way. Swift took his research so seriously he became a certified personal trainer and established fitnessforus.com as a free resource and community to those looking to take control of their weight and health. His plan is simple, safe, and makes sense. What's more, it takes into account that most of us are busy, living under everyday stress at work and home, and need a strategy that's easy to follow. This book does all that...and more.
