Jordan Bontke is thrilled to finally be in the Valley to report for ABC15.
GLENDALE, AZ — A Valley man is living a brand-new life after losing more than 300 pounds – and counting. His fitness journey is now part of an effort to help others looking to lose weight.
Detailing what he used to eat, the now-37-year-old said he would start with four sausage-and-egg McMuffins with three hashbrowns from McDonald's. He would have a Caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks and he would be able to drink at least two two-liter bottles of soda.Typically, he would only eat two big meals a day, he said.Gomez says he went through uncomfortable nights with sleep apnea, lived with high cholesterol and hypertension, and his doctor told him he was prediabetic.
The family doctor told Gomez a harsh reality, saying: “The way you’re going, you’re going to die just like your dad did. You’re not going to live past 40."After an emotional moment in the car after that doctor’s appointment, Gomez said he didn’t know where to start to make a change to better his health.He said it all started when he cut out junk food, which helped him lose 20 pounds. Then he cut out soda to make the loss closer to 50 pounds.
