My prayer is that at least one person sees this and is inspired to do the same then pass it on. I’ve seen it done before by lesser known men but to see this man’s man pull it off should be the spark to set the wheels in motion for others. He whipped everybody’s ass including his own!

As of this moment. 13 years later. I'm down to 170 pounds. My waist went from over 50 in before. Today. A 32.. I was able to do this all on my own. My A1C is a 5.8 been off of insulin now for over two and a half years. I went from 17 different medications down to just one baby aspirin a day.

      Even without DDP's help, the best thing you can do is invest in yourself. Bite the bullet and pay for a personal trainer and setup a schedule with this person that you will be accountable to. For example, mon, wed. fri. at 10am. Standing appointment commitment to meet your trainer. You can do it, a trainer will help. I need to do the same commitment myself. We can do it.

      without a pro trainer there's only two things easy enough to follow.
      A resistance training to gain muscle.
      And some kind of low carb diet like carnivore diet. Maybe one meal a day. Starting each meal with some vegetable, then protein and fat, then carbs if at all. This hack causes much smaller insuline spike which is the cause of problems. Some carbs may be needed in the beginning because of the metabolic syndrome and lack of ability to use fat as fuel. The ability comes back tho once there's not enough sugars

      If you hated DDP, he did his job as a heel. I like what he's done after wrestling though. I wish him the best..

    There’s rarely such a happy ending to his kind of situation. Pure hero.
