Rhode Island man lost 132 pounds by eating Chick-fil-A every day for more than a year
NY Post
A Rhode Island man credited Chick-fil-A for saving his life as he shed 132 pounds eating the popular fast-food chain’s Spicy Southwest Salad for lunch every day for over a year.
Tom Carroll, a 6′ 2” digital content producer for a local radio station in Boston, started the journey in July 2023 when he stepped on a scale after a wedding in Syracuse and weighed in at 360 pounds.
“I had never seen it so high,” Carroll wrote in an essay called “Chick-fil-A Saved My Life.” But if I’m being completely honest with myself, it had probably been higher at various points that summer. I never would have known, because that was the first time I had stepped on a scale since the fall of 2019.
Before that, the 34-year-old said the last time he stepped on a scale was at a doctor’s office when a nurse implied he had health problems.
“The nurse at my new doctor’s office told me I was 346 pounds,” Carroll wrote. “‘That’s good eatin’!’ I joked with her.”
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
