Ivan Grant: How to Drink Your Booze (and Lose 30 Pounds Too)

If you've gained a few pounds over the past year, you are not alone. According to a recent survey by the American Psychological Association, 43% of Americans gained an average of about 30 pounds over the past year. I'll say that again. Despite unprecedented government intervention “for the sake of our health”—using air quotes here—nearly half of Americans gained 30 pounds in the past year. If that's you, no worries and no judgment, we're here to help. But we're also here to tell you that there is hope. While most people are out there gaining weight this past year, my buddy Ivan challenged himself to get back into shape and cut 30 pounds. So today, I'm honored to introduce you to my dear friend, Ivan Grant aka Melo, a fellow Dartmouth alumnus, singer and premiere bartender in Las Vegas. Ivan recently took on a weight loss and fitness challenge with his bro, cut over 30 pounds and he already looks 10 years younger. This is a really fun conversation with an old friend. I hope you dig it.
