Mike Silbowitz was working 50-60 hour weeks and had given up on weight-loss when he signed up for MacroPlate on a whim; a decision that would completely change his life and help him lose 100 pounds in a year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mike was a healthy kid, and had a healthy and fun lifestyle through his twenties. An NYC native, Mike liked spending time with friends, traveling, and going out to dinner, bars, and clubs. But things started to change in his thirties as his work became more demanding, hours got longer, and free time was spent more on the couch watching TV to relax, than going out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He knew that his long hours, stress, and increased couch time had lead to some weight gain, but didn’t expect that a trip to the doctors would inform him of a “fatty liver”, a scary and sometimes fatal diagnosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He knew this was a serious issue and began making changes towards a healthier lifestyle. However, nothing seemed to stick. “Mostly I tried on my own to be healthier and had even considered surgery.\u00a0 I would work out but would do it for a week and give up after not seeing immediate results.” Other factors like work, stress, and the lack of time hadn’t gone away either. His energy was low and he lacked motivation to continue. Then came the end of a serious relationship. “When it ended, I did everything I could to not think about it. For years I threw myself into my career and nothing else.\u00a0And when I wasn’t working, I would eat and watch TV.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike had started to believe that this was just what life looked like now. “I had given up on being a version of myself that was fit and healthy.” The sedentary lifestyle, processed foods, and stress had created a vicious cycle. Brain fog and demotivation had set in and he didn’t see that there was a realistic way to get out of it. “I had hit 316 pounds and assumed that was what life was from now on.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
