Share This article

Pat Brocco lost 330 pounds when he decided to rid his fridge of food and instead walk for his meals everyday to the nearest Walmart. 

                                                                                                              Watch "Possible Pat's" story here:

The 31 year-old from Arizona weighed in over 600 pounds. 

As a pre-diabetic, doctors told him he was going to die if he continued down his unhealthy path. 

Brocco said he was always called "Fat Pat" before his dramatic change. 

"My stomach was down to my thighs. My chest was hanging down here," he told ABC News, "I was disgusted."

So everytime Brocco got hungry he walked to Walmart for his next meal and ended up losing 200 pounds in the span of less than two short years.

"You walk to Walmart three times a day, and you end up walking 6 miles," he said. "It's amazing because I never walked 6 miles in my life, and I was doing it every day."

New clean foods like vegetables, quinoa, and steel-cut oatmeal along with healthy carbs like sweet potatoes helped Brocco get on track to healthy diet. He took out the foods hampering his diet, like dairy. 

"Once I figured out dairy was my downfall, I took it out of my diet, and instantly I started losing weight again," he said.

Brocco also decided to incorporate working out at the gym in his diet, which included incline walks on a treadmill and lifting weights. 

"I mean, at 600 pounds, I couldn't even go to the gym," he said. "I didn't fit on the machines."

Now 330 pounds lighter, the former "Fat Pat" now goes by "Possible Pat." 

Brocco also dramatically changed his portions from consuming 11,200 calories per day to 2,250 calories a day. 

Old daily diet: 
box of cereal
1/2 gallon whole milk
1 package of peanut butter cups
1 candy bar
12-inch meatball cheese submarine sandwhich
100 fast food chicken nuggets
1 fast food apple pie

New Daily Diet: 
2 gallons water
About 20 egg whites
1 cup oatmeal
24 ounces chicken breast

Brocco is now training to be a body builder while being a healthy influence for his one-year-old son.
