A guy in Florida lost more than 90 kilograms in 16 months by eating chocolate, the Daily Mail reported.
Peter Ajello, whose weight used to exceed 192 kilograms, consumed 24,000 calories per day. But he made up his mind to lose weight after he suffered a diabetic stroke, it reported. The 37-year-old confessed that he felt he might one day say goodbye to the world then.
Becoming weight conscious, Ajello quit all junk food and alcohol - except chocolate.
He chose the chocolates to satisfy his sweet tooth. These are no ordinary chocolates though - according to the manufacturer's website, these chocolates are diabetic-friendly, contain no added sugar, and are high in anti-oxidants. Ajello said in a testimonial that he originally bought the chocolate because he loved the taste and was not even thinking about losing weight when he started. However, he realised that it helped to curb his snacking He said that he could not have stayed on his doctor's strict diet without the chocolate.
Ajello recollected his past when he would devour 77 chicken wings in less than 10 minutes and rely on the junk food.
His diet was helped by his closest friends who had continuously encouraged him to get down to his workout routines. After Ajello lost the first 45 kilograms a year ago, they bet US$15,000 (S$19,752) if he could lose another 45 kilograms by New Years Day, just five months away.
By New Year's Day, he had managed to lose 9 kilograms more than he had targeted, winning the whopping US$15,000 money.
He used US$10,000 to get plastic surgery to remove fat from his belly.
Ajallo said he still eats six pieces of chocolates per day for his diet.
He also plans to write a book about his weight loss.
