Georgia teen Taylor LeBaron developed a method of tracking calories and working out on a gaming console, and it helped him shed 150 pounds in 18 months. He speaks with TODAY’s Meredith Vieira.

Click the link for video http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/34845477/ns/today-today_health/

[image loading]


“It has the same aspects of a video game,” the 17-year-old LeBaron told Meredith Vieira live on TODAY Thursday. “You have enemies, you have allies, and you have money. You have to play smart; otherwise, you run out of your money. Your score needs to be high at the end of the day.”

He also wrote a book about it. Rumors go that between the pages 50-55 there's hidden cheats & tricks.

I've always wondered if anyone was able to make a real exercise program out of the wiifit game.
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

Wow, thats weird.

I lost all my weight playing WoW years back, I simply ran in place when I played, and even helped friends online lose weight by just playing videogames AND moving.
We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)

It's true for me as well. If I am on a serious run of starcraft games that lasts for like 8-10 hours I won't feel the hunger at all. When I stop gaming it hits me like a fist though, but still that means 1-2 meals per day not containing alot of calories. A pretty bad way of losing/not gaining weight... but nevertheless a way. XD

Me, and some other guys I know, lost a lot of weight just playing games 14+ hours a day. Food? Maybe after this game... which turns into 5 more hours. Then you're too tired to go get food.

I mean, I don't know.. I think the graphics are all right, but without multiplayer this just feel like something I could play for years.. And what the fuck happened to the combat system? XPIRL > This IMHO.

Finally, LeBaron took control of his life by turning to the thing that helped make him fat in the first place: video games.


lollll this is just as pathetic as people who claim 'alcohol made me do it!'

Video games don't make you fat, lack of exercise and a horrible diet does. Playing video games has never stopped me from working out.

Wow, this is weird, cuz you can either get fat or really skinny, it's just all up to what you eat, and how much of it.

Hehe. I lost 100lbs in a year, so big ups to this guy.



Instead of substituting food with video games, how about every time you lose you do 20 push ups, 50 sit ups, and run for 2 minutes.



I think that's a bit healthier for you o_O

its called the World of Warcraft diet

where you're so busy grinding and raiding that you forget to eat and eventually lose weight

definitely helped me.

hahaha I didn't know i was the only one that subscribed to the zombie video game diet(ala world of warcraft or starcraft grinding). Like everyone else I don't feel the hunger unless I stop thinking about the game.

So basically this kid just went to the YMCA, got a personal trainer assigned to him, started working out and eating healthy, then somehow called it a video game and got national exposure?

I don't believe this- I've done hardly anything but play video games in the last 10 years and I've gone from 90 pounds to 280... I think they call that puberty, though
