After a year of rotisserie chicken as a diet staple and workouts including yoga, former University of Kentucky football star Jared Lorenzen has lost 100 pounds off his once 500-pound frame.
Lorenzen, 37 and now the father of two, admitted that he grew up eating meat, potatoes and macaroni and cheese. As he got older and eventually left professional football, those habits didn't translate well into a fit body.
Lorenzen had an epiphany moment when he realized that his weight gain wouldn't allow him to effectively deflect an oncoming tackle and suffered an ankle injury.
