In this episode I chat with Ed Hones the 2014 r/Fitness Best Weight Loss Transformation winner. Ed was clinically obese in 2011 and has been a very long weight loss journey. He started out as a "cardio bunny", went super hard core Paleo even while living in Africa, and after finding Mark Rippetoe started to lift heavy where he saw his best results.

In this episode we discuss:

• the moment he realized he needed to lose the weight

• his introduction to Paleo and low carb diets

• his time in Africa and how that affected his ability to eat low carb

• why he calls himself "stupid happy"

• what lifts he looks forward to

• bodybuilding competitions

• where he wants to go now

• guilty pleasure track

• super heroes
