Success Story: 300 Pounds Weight Loss
By Scott Tousignant, BHK, CFC

What you are about to read is an excerpt from an interview that I did with Rob Cooper from the MP3 audio program, Unstoppable Fat Loss. If you adopt the mindset that we cover below and apply it to your workouts and nutrition plan, you can expect success and amazing results.
Scott: So when you realized that you had to improve your health, did you have a goal at that time? Your focus wasn't on weight loss, it was just, "I've got to get better. I've got to get healthier."
Rob: Right. Like I said, I had never intended to lose 300 pounds. It was not what I was looking at. It was not what I was focusing on. And I don't know why this occurred. But my focus again was on health. What could I do to become healthy?
I really didn't know anything. I knew what I knew from television and from magazines that I might pick up and read. I knew salt was bad and I knew fried food was bad. And that's where I started.
Scott: Right.
Rob: Then I just started learning. I picked up a book. It was called "Fit for Life." Actually, before I found "Fit for Life," I started just looking at fruits and vegetables. I started buying whole‑grain bread; I started looking at vegetable soups and canned vegetable meals. I started buying lettuce and stuff. And to be honest, they became fridge experiments.
Scott: [laughs]
Rob: I kind of nibbled on them, but I really wasn't completely committed yet. But at least I was buying them. And then I stumbled upon this book by an author, Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. It was called "Fit for Life." Are you familiar?
Scott: Yep. Food combination.
Rob: OK. Yeah, food combining, exactly. And the theory is that, when you combine foods in certain ways, you actually improve the digestion process. The idea is that proteins and starches do not combine together in the stomach; they will not digest together, supposedly. The other one is, that fruit is supposed to be eaten on an empty stomach, never with a meal, never after a meal, because it would just sit there and rot. So these are some basic principles I picked up, and I just started using it as though it was kind of like my health Bible.
Scott: Right.
Rob: And I read it, I followed the principles, and lo and behold, I started getting results. Now, I started dropping weight, and I started tightening up my belts and stuff like that. And it was really fascinating for me to see the process get results.
Scott: Right.
Rob: So I just delved deeper and deeper into it, read everything that I could read about health and nutrition. Got into buying organic; got into juicing. I bought a juicer; I started juicing. I read about macrobiotics; I started adding in miso. I started looking at brown rice, eating brown rice. And slowly, these new habits that I was making was replacing all the other stuff I was doing.
Scott: Right.
Rob: It became this very interesting science project, is what I was forming.
Scott: Right.
Rob: It was just so interesting to see the results. I wanted to see how far I could take it, and what would happen. And it was just this really interesting journey to go on. It led me through numbers of pant sizes, countless pounds, and then it was, I think, 385 pounds, I decided to start walking. And then I just did a daily walk, every morning after I finished my shift of driving taxi. And that's how it all began.
Scott: Right. Yeah, education is such a huge part of success, and there's so many different ways you can educate yourself. But it sounds like you applied a lot of the information that you were learning, which is a huge key to success. That's pretty incredible. And now you're at the point where you're, I mean, getting a lot of questions from people asking you, what kind of workout programs? What kind of nutrition? And just all kinds of different questions from people that get in great shape.
What are some of the things that you see are holding people back from achieving their dream bodies?
Rob: Well, they're not doing anything. They're not taking action. Everybody's time is valuable, and I'd love to help people, and I do answer questions. But let's work 50‑50 here; I mean, you know, I'll help you out, but let me see what you're doing, too. And you're going to have to provide some kind of action; you've got to do something.
So a lot of the common questions I get are: How do I do this? What should I do? What workout program should I follow? And, what should I eat? And my first response, I want to see what they're doing already. And my first response is, what are you doing now? Tell me what it is you're following, what it is you're doing, what actions are you taking. I'll bet you 95% of the time, I don't get an answer back.
Scott: [laughs]
Rob: So, if I was to spend a half an hour, an hour, writing out an email or recommending something, I feel almost like I'm going to be wasting my time, because they haven't looked into anything, and they're not even taking action yet.
Scott: Right.
Rob: So why would they take action on anything that I'm recommending, right? If I know that they're already taking steps, and they're looking for some new direction, then absolutely. Let's work together and get you some tips, some things you could do.
So I think that the biggest thing that's holding people back is not taking the action. And we talked earlier about how an object at rest tends to stay at rest. If you're not doing something, then it's harder to get out and start doing something. Does that makes sense?
Scott: Yeah. Oh, absolutely.
Rob: Good. But as soon as you start reading about things, thinking about how this might work, and start trying some stuff, you've started motion. You're in motion. You ask me a question, or you find some advice from somebody else as to a new theory or a new tweak or the current thing. Or even finding a role model who's getting results, start following what it is they're doing. At least you can change the direction and tweak the direction.
I mean, when I went through my whole process, I kept reading different pieces of information, and I never stopped. And I still haven't stopped; I still read about stuff. And if something makes sense to me, logically, I'll try it. And if it works for me, I keep it. If it doesn't work for me, I set it aside. I tried it, I've set it aside, and I'm looking for something else.
So what I've become is kind of an amalgamation of little pieces of lots of things, and they all happen to work for me. But not everything works for every person. You know, we're all different. There's a lot of common things that will work for a lot of people, but then there's some tweaks that you need to do, that you have to work into your lifestyle, have to work into your beliefs and your philosophy from whatever.
But that's the whole thing, is to start doing something. Taking action, I guess, is what I think holds people back. And not to mention just limiting beliefs, that they see it as a big picture. For me to have gone back now and think that I've got to lose 300 pounds, that's a huge mountain to climb. But if I look at taking steps into becoming fit and applying new health habits and new principles into my diet, I'm adding one thing at a time. Each one of those new habits replaces an old habit.
