Body Puzzle

“Solving the Body Puzzle: Weight Loss Answers for a Puzzled Population”

Like just about everyone these days, I’ve struggled with my weight.  All my life, really.  I was a big baby — my first playdate was with a ham.  At six, Santa was sitting on my lap.  In high school I took a brisket to the prom.

So by “struggled” I mean I got my behind kicked every time I tried to control my body.  And as I got older things got worse.  One day I stepped on my scale and saw “275.”

I knew it was time to do something.  So I stopped weighing.

I continued to grow from there, and I topped off somewhere between that 275 and maybe as high as 300.  Which isn’t good.  I’m short, bald, and white.  That’s a snowman.  When little kids are putting a magician’s hat on your head and waiting for you to “Come alive!” but you can’t, because you don’t have that kind of energy, it is time to do something.  When you order a small pizza, and they ask what you want on it, and you say, “A large pizza,” it’s time to do something.

But what?  What do you do?  What do you do to get to a good body weight, to lean out, to strengthen up, to have your body look the way it’s supposed to look, and work the way it’s supposed to work?

It’s not an easy question to answer.  There are hundreds of diets, thousands of advisers, tens of thousands of articles and books, and millions upon millions of people who continue to fail over and over and over.

Obviously, we’re doing something wrong.

So what’s the real answer?  What do you do when you want to lose weight, and keep it off, forever?

That’s the question that pushed me to begin a quest to figure out what I now call The Body Puzzle.  On that journey I lost somewhere between 100 and 125 lbs., and have kept it off now for years.  I did it by learning everything I could about how to weigh what we want to weigh for the rest of our lives.

And I put all of those answers into a one-man show, seminar, and upcoming book, “Solving the Body Puzzle:  Weight Loss Answers for a Puzzled Population.”  I perform the show at weight loss clinics, corporate events, conventions, colleges, comedy clubs, and theaters — anywhere that people want to learn new ideas and enjoy comedy about what has become our most serious health challenge.  The show is super-clean and completely appropriate for any audience, and by mixing standup with absolutely cutting-edge information about human weight, I’m able to make the process of losing weight funny, interesting, and above all, accomplishable.  I’m not even exaggerating when I say the information in this show can change you forever.  That’s what it did for me.

You can learn more about what I do, or talk about booking the show or hiring me to do a half-day seminar for your organization, by popping me a note on my contact page.
