Ep 100 The Weight Loss Champion Chuck Carroll

Eat Real To Heal Podcast

Widely known as “The Weight Loss Champion,” at just 5 feet 6 inches tall, Chuck Carroll weighed 420 lbs and had a 66-inch waist before radically changing his life. Before that, he tried and failed countless times to lose weight. Any success he achieved was short-lived as the weight he lost came pouring back on and then some. Out of desperation, he decided to have weight loss surgery in 2009. Chuck was just 27 years old at the time and didn’t believe he would live to see 30. He thought at least he would go to his grave saying he tried everything. But then the unexpected happened. He decided after abusing his body for 27 years that it was time to look forward and never look back. Although a critical component, the procedure proved only to be the first step in his journey. In fact, he only attributes 10 percent of his long-term weight loss success to it. The rest he credits to a plant-based diet and changing his lifestyle! By adopting a plant-based diet, he is no longer afraid of regaining the weight as he had so many times before.

He became a reporter where he covered sports and news for CBS and later NBC News Radio. He was also previously featured in PCRM’s Teaming Up 4 Health campaign where he had the opportunity to speak on Capitol Hill and share his remarkable journey. Now he is delighted to be bringing his passion and talents to the Physicians Committee as host of The Exam Room™ podcast and to show others that the impossible is possible — you can get healthy!

Chuck holds nothing back while sharing his weight loss story, and chronic depression, which started before he was 8 years old and continued until he was in his 30’s with an addiction to Taco Bell. Chuck and Nicolette discuss the difference between Fat Shaming and weight loss for heath, how the health system has health advise but not always information on how to achieve a healthy life. He shares all the diets he tried and failed including the cookie diet, which led him to the conclusion that he had a food addiction. Chuck tells us about his weight loss surgery and about the advice he didn’t take from his doctor eventually led him to a Whole Food Plant-Based diet. This podcast is the one to listen too if you are struggling with health or have a friend who is.
