As the guitarist for the band, Sugarland, Beatty was once overweight and unhealthy. According to Beatty, by 2010, he was weighing 230 pounds, and as a result was dealing with some health issues that were sure to get worse if he didn’t get his act together. However, it wasn’t until his mother was diagnosed with colon cancer that he decided to really take his health serious and start shedding some pounds. Beatty made drastic changes to his lifestyle, including becoming a vegan, and competing in intense Ironman competitions. Now feeling better than ever, Beatty plans on staying healthy for the rest of his life.
Luc Carl

Once overweight, Carl was unhappy with himself and knew that he had to make a change. Eventually he decided he “had enough of being chubby” and he decided to get his act together. However, anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that the entire process is much easier said than done. Once he decided that losing weight was his main priority Luc began exercising and eating healthy.
