New Year’s Inspiration for All Of Us: Chris Cornell
Resolution: Lose Weight and Get Fit
At 51 years old, Chris Cornell (@BiggestComeback on X) found himself weighing 278 pounds, struggling to regain control of his health and fitness. Despite decades of trying various methods, nothing seemed to work. That was until he reached out to a doctor friend who recommended Gary Taubes’s book, “Why We Get Fat.”
This book was the catalyst Chris needed. It introduced him to the concept of a low carbohydrate diet, which ultimately helped him lose 80 pounds of body fat sustainably. But more than the diet, it was the act of reaching out for help and receiving personalized advice that made a significant impact. Chris learned the importance of seeking guidance and the value of a supportive community.
Over the next six years, Chris not only maintained his weight loss but also applied the principles he learned to other aspects of his life. He built a following of nearly 50,000 people on Twitter, sharing his journey and helping others with their struggles. His story took another turn in October 2018 when he was diagnosed with cancer. The mental and physical resilience he developed during his weight loss journey played a crucial role in his fight against cancer.
Chris’s journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to make meaningful changes in your life. Whether you’re struggling with weight, health issues, or simply looking for inspiration, his story offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to the podcast episode to hear more about Chris’s incredible transformation and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
