Gotti Diet: How I Took Control of My Body, Lost 80 Pounds, and Discovered How to Stay Fit Forever Book

Life-changing diet and fitness advice from a teenager who's been there.

Yo, when I was thirteen, I weighed 255 pounds and already had high blood pressure. My family doctor told me I was "morbidly obese." I had a problem. I liked to eat...and eat...and eat. But when Mom told me that the whole family was going to be on a reality TV show called Growing Up Gotti, I finally made the decision to Change. No way did I want to be seen as the Fatty Gotti by the entire world.

With the support of my mother, my doctor, and my lacrosse team coach, I got to work. I learned all about food, dieting, and exercise, and created a program for myself based on common sense, portion control, and moderation. And the results were great! I lost eighty pounds in the first year! Once the weight started coming off, I started working out, turning fat into muscle and toning up. I also did aerobic exercise and found stamina on the lacrosse field that I never had before. Now friends come to me for advice on starting their own diets and exercise programs.

So listen up—here, in this book, is all the information you need to get started—my program of portion control, fat and calorie counters, great-tasting healthy food recipes, and exercise. It's the program that turned the Fatty Gotti into the Hottie Gotti.
