MOVE EAT GIVE by Interrupt Hunger
More than 73% of Americans have overweight or obesity, while more than 12 % have food insecurity. America is getting heavier, sicker, and more isolated from each other every day.
Interrupt Hunger’s motto, MOVE EAT GIVE, reflects our belief that virtually every problem in America could be fixed if we took better care of ourselves and took better care of each other.
Welcome to Interrupt Hunger's MOVE EAT GIVE podcast, where we talk with experts in Exercise Is Medicine, Food Is Medicine and Food Insecurity.
And understanding that knowledge isn't always enough to help you lose weight, every other episode showcases someone who's lost at least 10% body weight to share exactly how they did it.
Interrupt Hunger is a 501c3 nonprofit, which helps you lose weight while feeding the hungry. Bring our free 12-Week Weight Loss Challenge and Donate Your Weight program to the places you live, work, and pray. We fund our mission with sales from our MOVE EAT GIVE bracelets and apparel.

9. How I lost 150 pounds | Robert Chase (33 yo)
In this "How I did it" episode, Robert Chase, a 33 yo firefighter paramedic (who at 4 yo, happened to be the Ring Bearer at our wedding) shares how a moment of self-reflection on his 23rd birthday prompted him to make significant lifestyle changes, leading him from 340 pounds to 190 pounds. Then "not being happy being small" proceeded to add muscle as he became a 260 pound "Strongman".
He talks about the importance of finding workouts you enjoy and finding a community where you feel you belong. Robert also shares about his dream deploying to Antartica in October for 6 months at McMurdo Station!
