The famous chef, Appleman, has been in love with food since he was just a kid. At the age of 17, Nate enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America. With his passion and love for food, Nate soon became a famous chef in America.
However, Appleman’s being famous came at a cost. While working in the kitchen for hours daily, Nate gained weight.
He would have to taste every meal he prepared. And let’s be frank for a moment, who will not be tempted while around the tasty food in the world?
So, Nate would end up consuming more calories than needed. As a result, his weight continued to increase and reached a point where it was very dangerous. Nevertheless, Appleman never gave much concern to it.
However, when Appleman’s son was born things changed quickly in his life. He suddenly felt responsibility. A kind of responsibility that he had never felt.
Nate wanted to change himself. He wanted to lose weight for the sake of his son. Appleman said, “I wanted to be an active dad for my son, Oliver. I didn’t want to be that lazy dad who couldn’t play with his son in the park”.
American Chef Kevin Belton also lost a significant amount of weight more than 100 pounds.
How did Appleman Lose Weight?
Nate started analyzing his whole day’s activities. He noticed the factors that were contributing to his weight.
The main reason for his being obese was Appleman’s binge eating. He had the habit of eating without any discipline and without any need.
It might be that Nate developed this habit while being in the kitchen. Appleman started working on improving this negative habit.
He started keeping a diary for the purpose of recording what he had eaten the whole day. Nate limited his daily calorie consumption to 2000 calories. Here is his detailed diet plan:
