Pasquale Brocco started to suffer from obesity when he was 28 years of age. When he reached 300 kg (660 lb), his cholesterol level and high blood pressure threatened him with heart failure every day.

Three years ago, his doctor told him in no uncertain terms that if he continued to live the same way he would die in a short time! He realized that he could not allow himself to go on in this way especially with a young son, who was just a year old to raise. It was then that "Fat Pat" decided to change!

His story did not travel around the world due to the results, which are and remain exemplary, but due to the way, Pasquale has managed to lose all those pounds ...
