#55 - From 278lbs to a Marathon at 58: The power of Satiety, Simplicity and Self-Accountability

We talk with Chris Cornell (aka Biggest Comeback). At 278 pounds in his 50s, Chris knew something had to change. What followed wasn’t another extreme diet or complicated system. It was a simple, repeatable approach built around satiety, self-accountability, and becoming his own experiment. In this can’t miss episode, Chris and Cory talk about why hunger control beats willpower and how a few simple food rules can drive lasting weight loss and better metabolic health. We connect his comeback story to type 2 diabetes remission by focusing on satiety, muscle, and realistic habits that lower the odds of sliding back into “managed forever.” The conversation covers: • Type 2 diabetes as a muscle and energy storage problem • Chris’s 278-pound wake-up moment and the rebound trap of white-knuckle calorie restriction • Low carb as a tool for satiety rather than a rigid identity • Why calorie counting fails when hunger and cravings stay high • N=1 experimentation and adapting general guidelines to real life • Chris’s satiety rules including protein targets, carb range, and time boundaries • Why fasting can backfire before food quality is fixed • A simple starting step: prioritize satiating protein-rich foods.If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too late”… or that health has to be complicated to make your own Biggest Comeback…This one’s for you.Connect with Chris:X: https://x.com/BiggestComeback Website: https://BiggestComeback.com Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes?  Grab your earbuds and listen in.Brian & Cory Diabetes Remission Partners--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------👉 Want help mapping out your diabetes medication exit strategy?
