Hiram lost 238 pounds and got results with P90X and Insanity
My dear friend, Hiram Santisteban, found himself at 432 pounds at the age of 30. Hiram was raised to never to leave food on his plate. He told me a few stories about his upbringing in Puerto Rico and not having the best eating habits.
In 2008, Hiram found himself wearing a pant size of 58-60 and a t-shirt size of 6XL. His doctor told him if he didn’t change his life, he may die. If those words didn’t make impact enough, he later found himself sitting in a park. He saw a father at the park who was so overweight that he could barely keep up with his kids. That was the tipping point for Hiram. He decided to change.
He began to absorb books about nutrition and applied what he learned. He lost weight! He changed his eating to five to six meals a day along with daily such as walking, running, stretching, etc. Eventually he plateaued and stopped seeing result. Enter the infomercials.
Hiram lost 238 pounds and got results with P90x and Insanity! He discovered the P90X and Insanity infomercials and they appealed to him. He could workout from home. But, it was the real people who got real results that really spoke to Hiram! He followed the workout schedules in these programs while continuing with his good nutrition and Shakeology. He eventually lost 238 pounds!
He is currently in the process of writing a book about journey journey. He dedicates his efforts into educating people about weight loss, with a focus on the Latino community. Hiram says,”Obesity is a disease that it is slowly destroying our youth, our country and specifically my Latino community.” He is all too familiar with the potential for being pre-diabetic, having high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Now, he is doing whatever it takes to end the trend of obesity. Hiram certainly leads buy example and is one incredible human being.
I am so proud of Hiram putting himself first and making the changes for him to be able to chase his kids around the park when he eventually has a family. It just goes to prove that it’s never too late!
