It was a fun interviewing Chris Baff (@fat2fitbaff) who lives in South Africa. Check it out here: https://bit.ly/3fsr2MW I feel like we are similar people. Both have ankle issues and enjoy getting after life. 2 years ago in December 2018 he had ankle issues and kidney stones. This sparked him to start thinking about his health more. He has lost 80lbs.He worked with a weight loss group call "Weigh Less." They basically told him what to eat and he followed their instructions. He said he "preferred the prescriptive method" because then he can focus on other things like exercise which is something he enjoys. When he started losing weight, he would eat 6 meals/snacks each day. He focuses on eating more proteins, fruit, and veggies.After going through rehab he kept increasing the intensity. Working with a biokineticist which is similar to a trainer, they just have a cooler name which I probably didn't spell correctly. Once his ankle was stronger he started doing more running and biking. He has even done some 100 kilometer routes. He tries to work out each day and burn around 500 calories a day. Then he knows he put in the work for that day. He also likes the numbers and uses a smart watch to track workouts and the number of calories he burned.In talking about his mentality, he said he feels more "energy, focus, confidence, and self esteem." He also said he just struts more which is awesome to hear, I know the feeling. It's amazing how weight loss can improve people's lives in ways they don't expect.I want to say thank you to Chris for taking the time to share his health journey. Be sure to follow him @fat2fitbaff and let him know if you have any questions. Thank You! -Jason Tizzano
