When I met Michael, he was 195 lbs., very athletic, going to the gym every other day, Paleo diet advocate, and practiced mindful eating. So, when the life spun out of control, that’s when he started packing on the pounds.

South Florida is popular for its Latin cuisine with Cuban, Peruvian, Colombian, Argentinian or Mexican restaurants practically on every corner. He loves chorizo, blood sausage, empanadas, chicharrones, flank steak with chimichurri, and lechon. I usually do grocery shopping myself, but when Michael ends up in the grocery store, he always comes back with Cheetos, potato chips, and ice-cream. He is a big fan of football, so every Sunday during the season, his day is spent on the couch in front of the TV, drinking beer and eating junk food. During the basketball season, he watches Heat.
