Whenever you hear about someone losing a ton of weight by eating fast food, people always compare them to Jared from Subway. Move over Jared! There’s a 25-year-old guy in Denver, Colorado named Alton Ward who lost 140 pounds in one year, just by eating Chick-fil-A. He says when he was at Texas A&M University four years ago, he was 355 pounds.  He says he tried Jenny Craig, Atkins, no carbs, juice diets, and every other thing . . . but none of it worked. But there was a Chick-fil-A on campus, and he liked their food.  So he started working out, and he’d eat Chick-fil-A once or twice a day. He’d go for their healthier stuff, like grilled chicken wraps and sandwiches, soup, and salads . . . and over the course of the year, he dropped 140 POUNDS. Now it’s four years later, and Alton says he’s kept the weight off.  He still eats at Chick-fil-A because, quote, “I was on my way to a heart attack or just having a stroke or diabetes . . . it’s literally helped me change my life.” Okay, remember I said he also started WORKING OUT! Ugh! By the way…Chick-fil-A is the highest ranking fast food restaurant in the country for customer satisfaction, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index Restaurant Report 2016. Papa John’s came in second.
