He talked with Today show host, Matt Lauer, about how his life is completely different now that he’s lost all that weight.  His trainer, Chris, was also on the show and recounted how baffled he was when he was first contacted by David since he didn’t know how to help someone with such a serious weight problem.  He said that the key was to not make drastic changes and to address the psychological issues as well as the physiological ones.  It’s so important.  Being overweight is about more than just overeating.  There is an emotional connection there and, if it goes unresolved, people who lose weight will probably just put the weight back on.

In his eating plan, he suggests that people have three meals and two snacks per day (so that they are eating five times a day).  He also provided some examples of meals.  For breakfast, he put fresh blueberries in a bowl of Kashi cereal with milk.  Sounds my own breakfast on any given day of the week.  For a snack, he made a berry smoothie made from non-fat Greek yogurt and frozen fruit but he said that, on occasion, he will add a little bit of juice to give it some extra flavor.  His lunch included a lettuce, sliced chicken, corn, beans and a dressing made from salsa and fat-free sour cream (I’ve never tried that exact combination but it looked good!).

He stresses that there are five important criteria to follow for each meal – include a low-fat protein, healthy carbohydrate, healthy fat, fiber and a non-sugar beverage (basically water is best!).

Watch the segment to see some of his other meal suggestions.  It looked great!
