Starving to be Fat

"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!

WIRED TO WIN!

A man loses 150 lb and in record time becomes a top fitness consultant...

Single father to a special needs child, divorce survivor, death of his father and sister, and how a man completely changed his life and beat
the odds.

“SIR, CAN YOU PLEASE MOVE? YOU ARE TOO FAT TO SIT HERE.”

How does a man lose 150 lb. keep it off, and in record time become a top Fitness consultant?

Marco’s new book "Starving to be Fat" chronicles the permanent weight loss of Marco Girgenti. A transformation so powerful that it caught the attention of the producer's of the Oprah Winfrey Show. About 2% of people that lose weight actually manage to keep it off; Marco has done it for nearly a decade. How did he do it? On a plane to New York, Marco could not get the seat belt around his stomach, and when the lady beside him turned and said: "sir, can you please move? You are too fat to sit here," Marco all too painfully knew that she was right, and that it was time to make massive changes. Hear the story of a survivor. A failed marriage, caring single-handedly for his special needs son, the death of his father and sister, and of course; how he beat the fat that threatened his very life. From throwing up all over himself in full view of other people on
his first day at a gym, to an epic battle with low self-esteem and how a former fat guy wound up in a relationship with a fitness model, "Starving to be Fat", taps into everything an overweight person is feeling as only the experience of someone who has lived it can, and arms you with the weaponry needed to win back control of your life.

Recently, with no systems training or knowledge of a company’s workings, as a manager, he stepped in and invested in his staff, empowering and motivating them. He treated them as “people”, not subordinates. In the shortest business month of the year, and with the country neck deep in recession, Marco and his team shattered a record and obliterated their quota.

Marco Girgenti: Elite Weight Loss Coach

Susan Braumberger

Starving To Be Fat

Marco Girgenti is 43 years of age and resides in Toronto, Canada.

Marco dropped out of school at the age of 16 to pursue a career as a professional tennis player. After winning a few tournaments, he was sent to a sports camp to serve as Tennis Clinician. Shortly after learning that an opportunity was formulating to have Marco enter the qualifying rounds of the Canadian Open (against the likes of Borg, McEnroe, Connors), he sustained a career-ending injury. When Marco was 10 years of age, his sister (then 16) died, and when he reached 17, his father also died.

Turning then to music, Marco quickly became a sought after studio musician and composer/arranger. As a result of this change in lifestyle, now sedentary, Marco began to gain weight. His 15-year career earned him numerous awards in the arts. He did not receive any type of formal schooling in music, recognizing it was a gift freely given to him. He conducted in New York City, wrote music for the world's top figure skaters, commercials, television themes and served as composer/arranger on over 20 albums. He has been the chief arranger and composer on 3 Covenant Award winning albums as well as a Juno® award, and has served as Music Director/Director of Worship in 2 churches. The ability to write for an entire orchestra just seemed to be an innate capability. In 2006, Marco received a letter from Ennio Morricone, the foremost composer of film music in the world, praising Marco's work.

Marco married, then subsequently separated from his then wife of 13 years. The marriage produced a son who is now 16 years of age. Marco took on the mantle of full time father to his boy, who was diagnosed as autistic. Raising a special needs child caused Marco to see the world from a different, perhaps simpler perspective. Known for his communication skills and quick mind, Marco was now forced to change the way he communicated in order to be able to converse with his son.

There is now little doubt in his mind that the death of his father, the pressures of a failed marriage and raising an autistic child all contributed to his substantial weight gain. Marco, once a lean and elite athlete, was now grossly overweight, weighing in at well over 300 lbs, sporting size 54 pants and pre-diabetic with a body fat at 49%.

Moment of Change

On a flight to New York city, Marco was unable to fasten the seatbelt around his waist. His “moment of change” occurred when the passenger next to him turned and said, “Sir, can you move? You are too fat to sit here”. Crushed, Marco landed in New York to hold dressed rehearsals for a musical he was conducting. As his score papers fell to the ground, he bent over to collect them and the dress pants he was wearing tore, stem to stern. Marco wrapped his jacket around his waist and fled the room in tears.

Over time, he ran into friends he had not seen for years and had to convince them that the Marco they knew back then, was still indeed “Marco”, as he was so overweight, his friends did not recognize him. This was crystallized when he one day picked up his mom from the airport after her return from 9 months overseas, and she did not instantly recognize him. A mom, could not recognize her own son! Marco had to wave her on as he proclaimed “I'm over here mom, it's me”.

“What happened to you?” said she, “I could not recognize it was you”.

He began to read everything he could about weight loss, diets etc..., quickly realizing no diet would work for him. After losing some weight while still in New York (by walking), he decided to join a gym once back in Toronto. Marco drove to his local gym every weekday for 3 weeks and sat in the parking lot, fists white-knuckled and clenched to his steering wheel. He was paralyzed by fear and could not summon the courage to walk into the gym due to his embarrassment of being so overweight and out of shape. After 3 weeks, he actually got out of his car and made it to the entrance doors. Again, he was incapacitated by fear. At that moment, exhausted while struggling up two flights of stairs, he silently declared, “If I ever beat this, I am going to tell the world how I did it. I want to be a personal trainer”. Then, he laughed at himself for even allowing such a thought. When he finally breached that barrier, Marco walked up a flight of stairs to the main reception desk and had to stop twice to catch his breath.

After obtaining a guest membership, Marco got on a treadmill and in 3 minutes threw up everything he had eaten all over himself and the machine. He could feel people's eyes on him as the embarrassment weighed on him heavier than his fat or vomit did. He left the gym immediately without even stopping to shower, for fear of being seen naked in the changing room.
