Ron Funches’ Weight Loss Journey
Ron Funches, after his weight loss.
Ron Funches weighing 355 pounds before at 5’11 height, successfully lost 100 pounds. He has been dedicated to keeping a healthy diet and exercise in his daily routine.
Initially, Ron was alarmed about his weight when her mother first timed and voiced her concern regarding his son. When he released his stand-up comedy, Giggle Fit, he jokingly mentioned that his motivation for losing weight is for aesthetic purposes.
Still, on a serious note, he had some major health concerns due to his weight. Ron stated that he was about to die and shared his health concerns.
Most of his fans and friends were worried about the obesity-related illnesses he experienced. When he weighed over 360 pounds, he was not breathing normally.
His knees can’t keep up with his weight, and he has sleep apnea. Aside from health concerns, Funches realizes that his weight affects his career.
He was offered little characters like a homeless man or a gang member; he could take better roles. It is a motivating factor since he can see himself on TV.
He even shared that it helps when you can see yourself. While watching, he realized how big of a man he was.
Since his mom always mentioned her concerns even though she never did, it made Ron take notice of his health. He also has a son, who somehow adapts his unhealthy eating habits, and as a father, he did not want to influence him negatively, so he changed for the sake of his family, children, and himself.

As part of a healthier diet, Ron removed candy and sugary beverages, specifically his favorite cherry coke and Shirley Temple. Since he’s always been a fan of fast food like Roy Rogers and Philly cheesesteaks, he also had to sacrifice not eating them.
Instead of eating grilled chicken and asparagus, Ron eliminated his intake of burgers, steaks, and fried chicken. Ron changed his meals to healthy ones.
For breakfast, he eats greek yogurt with fruit and cereal, oatmeal with fruit and berries, or oatmeal with cinnamon and some raisins with almond butter. He likes a turkey sandwich or small burrito for lunch; he eats chicken stir-fry or halibut every dinner.
