"Starving to be Fat" ...

... is the new book by Marco Girgenti that offers a real life approach to permanent fat loss. It is not a diet book, nor is it an exercise book. Rather, Marco writes of his personal experiences as he embarked on a two year journey to a staggering and permanent weight loss of over 100 lb. and his subsequent strategies and success in keeping that weight off for nearly a decade. The book is replete with simple everyday advice on how to take seemingly small steps that eventually turn into giant leaps of victory. Do not read "Starving to be Fat" if you are looking for a miracle diet that will cause you to drop 30 lb. in two weeks, or anything of the sort. A "miracle" is not what you need to achieve healthy, permanent fat loss and weight management. What is needed are common sense and realistic expectations. Chapters such as "Fat Has Lousy Aim", tells the story of how the fat Marco was carrying for years targeted not only his health, but damaged his self-esteem as well. You will also read of his body image struggles even AFTER his weight loss, as he found himself in a relationship with one of the fittest women in the country, who is also a national fitness title holder. The account of such a struggle is poignant and fierce, as it can only be told by a man who has actually lived through it. Read about Marco's ascent to the top of the Canadian fitness industry as not only a highly successful personal trainer, but also as a consultant who has moved, inspired and spearheaded countless individuals towards finally losing fat, permanently. From a man who, at a young age, has been touched by death twice in his his immediate family and who as a single father has raised an autistic child, expect very down to earth from a seasoned warrior who continued to battle the odds, and won!
