The U.S. Centers for Disease Control say that some 112,000 adults died of it in the year 2000 alone, and that being obese or overweight can increase the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and some cancers.
Yet Americans keep on super-sizing. Bam! Before you can say “bon appetit,â€? into the kitchen steps culinary action hero Calorie Commandoâ€"a.k.a. Juan-Carlos Cruzâ€"with an innovative weight-loss strategy designed to stop obesity in its tracks while bringing back the pleasures of the table to stay. The rising Food Channel star knows very well that being overweight is a problem been there, done that, and has the vastly oversized T-shirt to prove it. Back in the day when Cruz weighed 280 pounds.
I loved being a pastry chef, he says, recalling that he had a sweet tooth since he was a heavy kid who baked Danishes every day for school.
His debut as a professional chef didn’t aid his avoirdupois. After graduation from the California Culinary Academy in 1993 and apprenticeship at the Amillios Restaurant in San Francisco, his fate seemed sealed when he was taken on as pastry sous-chef at the Hotel Bel Air in 1996. His sinful sweets won praise from a star-studded clientele that included Jack Nicholson, Oprah, Jim Carrey, Russell Crowe and Julia Roberts.
That’s when he started his own wedding-cake site, Pastrydude.com, and success went straight to his stomach.
