WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS FROM A COLORADO COOK WHO MAKES MILLIONS

This one Cook earns more than most restaurants. And millions of people will notice his weight loss success. You see, this Cook does not work in a hot kitchen. He works on a frying pan called a pitcher’s mound.

Aaron Cook looks healthy as he begins Colorado Rockies Spring Training camp not far from my home in Arizona.  At 31-years old, he is the ace of the pitching staff that hopes to make the playoffs for the third time in four years. This means a heavy duty burden of living up to his fat $9 million salary this season.

So this Cook is leading by example. He has shown up in the best shape of his career. Since the Rockies’ season ended in October, he lost 20 pounds and now weighs 200. For Aaron, he threw three fastballs as strikes to lose weight. He cut down on drinking cans of soda. He cut down on the size of the portions he ate. And he avoided eating late at night.  

In 2008, Cook started the season in good shape and was named an All Star. This year, he hopes his weight loss not only shows a more intimidating physique to batters, but gives him more energy, helps him avoid back pain, and takes weight off his legs preventing more injuries.

For Aaron Cook, losing weight was about gaining an edge over hitters. He and the Colorado Rockies have been close to winning a World Series, but have not done it. He is not taking his chances lightly. Instead of simply relying on his sinkerball pitch that drops over the plate like a rock, Aaron Cook wisely dropped a few pounds in order to feel healthier and stronger both physically and mentally. Now that is one home run weight loss picture.
