To get to a weight that was acceptable for surgery, King has been steadfast in his commitment to changing his overall lifestyle and improving his health. He never planned to give up on video games, but he followed a strict diet and saw a personal trainer for the first time in his life.

While weight loss surgery is not a solution for everyone, you can always shed some pounds by sticking to a healthier diet and starting a workout routine. Casey King is the charismatic star of the Family by The Ton. And his diet is something you can employ to try and shed some pounds.

His mother and father helped prepare food for his meal plan, and the conversation often got tense during the TV show. You can also pick up some lessons from his lifestyle and how he got so big and obese.

Casey says, “The one thing I’ve enjoyed even when I was smaller was video games”. He adds that he would still play the games even if he got down to 200 pounds.

His mother believes video games are not the problem, but Casey should be moving more. She admits, “I’m done fighting with Casey about these video games. The bottom line is I’m going to support Casey regardless of what he does, but I’m still going to push him a little bit”.

Speaking of his diet, Casey had to turn to a more vegetable-based diet. For example, in one episode, his mother cooked him a lettuce wrap with meat and cheese. It is a balanced meal that contains carbs, protein, and healthy fat.

Even though they argue about his video games, Casey admits his mother is his number-one supporter and his biggest fan.

He finished his post by saying, “I don’t even know how to put into word what they’re doing for me”. There is faith in humanity. People like Casey King deserve kindness.
