Taking the long view

Long time member Bill Pratt (aka draglist) started his career in the US navy, where a regimen of frequent, high intensity exercise kept him in peak physical condition. Later in life, a work environment with low levels of activity and a lack of information around nutrition led to increasing weight and common associated health issues such as type 2 diabetes. With the help of FatSecret, Bill learned about different diets, and how to keep himself on track by setting a calorie goal and never going over it. Over time, he shed the weight and got his health back. In this episode, he talks about the strategies he adopted and the challenges he faced along the way, to reach his weight goals and stay there.
