Hi! I'm Big John, YouTube's "The Fasting Fatman." This book is about a journey that took me from weighing 530 pounds to 215 pounds in just over a year. Along the way I learned a lot about myself, my eating addiction, and the best way to not only lose weight quickly, but keep it off for life. I have always been overweight, I've gone on countless diets, and bought hundreds of miracle pills, lotions, and equipment, to lose weight, to be "normal." I would lose the excess weight many times over, only to always gain it all back, and then some. I was obese as a child, and eventually I became a morbidly obese adult. I am writing a book that will highlight my journey, and the new way of relating to food and my addiction that has not only managed to help me get in shape, but is also helping a large pool of people that I am currently coaching on my strategy for permanent weight loss. This book will be your guide to a new, healthier you. A you that is no longer controlled by food addiction.

My method and philosophy is tested and refined with various fasting techniques that slowly but surely completely resets the appetite and causes a complete “paradigm shift” when it comes to your relationship with food. I wish to raise enough money to self-publish and distribute this book around the world, to give hope to others suffering from obesity.
