People look at my transformation
and are impressed, but somehow
many don’t believe that THEY can do
it too. They seem to think I’m special
or gifted or blessed or who knows
what. Truth is that I was the bullied
kid, the ridiculed adult and the guy
As more weight was
dence and endurance
grow. When walking/
running became less
strenuous, he started
competing in running
events. He also began
incorporating strength
routine. Eli had completely transformed his
life both physically and
mentally. Not only was
he leaner, stronger and
faster, but he no longer
vere anxiety and panic
disorder. No longer was
depression plaguing
him. Now over 100 lbs.
lighter, he began to share
his story with more and
more people as they
asked him how he did it.
This is what led Eli to his
life’s calling, his passion,
to guide others through
his now proven philosophy.
Interest in how
Eli lost all the weight began to grow rapidly. But
more importantly, people
wanted to know how
he had been so successful in MAINTAINING the
that just thought of himself as
FAT forever. Until that one day
in 2008 that I decided to STOP

Knowing he had social
responsibility along with
growing requests to
teach his philosophy, Eli
took to task the writing
of his now published
book “From Fat Boy to
Fit Man-’A One Step at a
Time’- Story of Success” .
Eli knew that this would
help others just like him
succeed. What he has
done is not rocket science, but he knew that
it takes one person to ignite a movement. Thus,
the “One Step at a Time”
philosophy was born. “I
didn’t invent anything
new. I simply state the
obvious that is SO obvious that most of the time
it is overlooked”.
Today, Eli resides in
Miami, Florida, where he
splits his time between
spreading his message through motivational public speaking at
schools, corporate and
public events, and as a
co-host specializing in
health and wellness for
a Spanish language TV
show.
