Before and After Weight Loss

Daniel Ramos has struggled with his weight nearly all his life.

He’s been on both ends of the spectrum. In his early and mid-teens, he battled anorexia—only to then become obese in his early 20s. Eventually, Ramos got fed up with his appearance, tired of constantly buying bigger clothes, and was embarrassed that his belly was blocking the steering wheel—it was time for a quality change.

In just six short months, Ramos committed himself to conscious eating and an aggressive training plan to drop 100lbs.
