I started the Unsupersize Me program feeling as though this was my last chance to lose the excess weight and address the health problems I had been avoiding. Other diets had never worked for me, because I’d always put the weight back on as soon as the diet stopped. I realized I needed a complete lifestyle change if I was going to become healthy for the long
term.
I started the Unsupersize Us project feeling overweight, tired and worried about his health. I had high triglycerides and was concerned about Type 2 diabetes. I’ve always struggled with my weight and found that difficult to keep under control.
I first met Carly in 2015 after watching Unsupersize Me and doing an interview with him for an article I was writing for a food website. My curiosity didn’t stop after the article, however, and after watching the film I began researching whole food plant-based and vegan diets and wondering if this was what I might be missing in terms of my own health.
