Hi, folks, this is Abel James, and thanks so much for listening to the Fat Burning Man Show,

where we talk about real food and real results.

Today's show is with David Garcia, the blogger behind Keep It Up David.com, a protege of

Richard Simmons and one of the slim few, no pun intended, who has not only lost 165 pounds,

but has kept them off for over two years.

And get this, David was actually the first guest ever on the Fat Burning Man show, so it was

a pleasure to reconnect and hear David is finding new ways to keep himself entertained, motivated, and happy. Just a quick note before we

get started. If you could, I'd love it if you could take a minute to leave a review on iTunes for

the Fat Burning Man podcast. Your support really helps. And if you want to help keep us commercial

free, then you can head on over to

Fat Burning Man.com and in the right sidebar up at the top. There are a few buttons where you

can donate as little as a dollar, as much as $20 to keep the show going and keep the show commercial

free. And you'll even get some free e-books to download, even if you donate as little as a dollar.

So I really appreciate your support still on track for a million listens this year,

which totally blows my mind.

You guys rock.

All right, so in today's show, David and I chat about why 97% of people fail to keep the weight

off, but David succeeds, why Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, and models and bodybuilders all experienced

moments where they hate their bodies, how it felt to be the 400-pound man on an airplane,

and what you can do to avoid steady weight gain as you age. All right, let's we're here with David Garcia, who was actually my first interview ever on The Fat Burning Man show.

David, it's awesome to have you back.

So how the heck are you?
