Celeb bodyguard went from 44 stone to muscled HUNK by giving up eating 100 nuggets a day
A BODYGUARD to the stars went from 44 stone to super-muscular after quitting his diet of 100 chicken nuggets a day.
Pasquele Brocco went from 44 stone to 16 stone in huge weightloss
Pasquele Brocco - known as Pat - gorged on entire boxes of cereal for breakfast and whole pizzas and chocolate bars for dinner.
At lunch he’d scoff around 10,000 calories at one sitting every day, enjoying 100 chicken nuggets, a cheeseburger and chips.
His enormous appetite left him weighing nearly 44 stone and suffering from heart palpitations.
In June, 2013, aged 28, he was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, as well as having high blood pressure and a fatty liver.
He started exercising by walking to the supermarket and, in just a few months, shed around seven stone.
Weighing 37 stone, Pat, who is 6ft 7ins, met his now-fiancé, Jasmyne Rogers, 25, in the street.
They got talking and went on a date, with Pat admitting he knew instantly “she was the woman he would marry”.
She was also smitten by him, despite his tremendous bulk and three years on, the couple have a one-year-old son, Pasquele Brocco Jnr, and are due to marry in the summer.

PJ, as Pat calls the couple’s son, is also tall. Already nearly 4ft, his nightclub owner dad reckons he’ll measure up to him before long.
“Jasmyne met me when I was bigger,” Pat, 31, said. “She loved me then and she loves me now.
“She supports my weight loss and goes to the gym with me every day, but she doesn’t love all the attention I get from other women now I’m muscular.
“However, she’s the only one for me.”

Pat told how, in his late 20s, he was a bodyguard to stars like comedian Katt Williams and others – who he cannot name as he has signed a non-disclosure agreement – when he hit 44-stone.
An unhealthy lifestyle on the road saw his weight soar, as he gorged on McDonalds’ fast food, chocolates and fizzy drinks.
A visit to his local doctor in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, prompted him to slim down – when he had reached nearly 44 stone, according to the industrial scales needed to weigh him.
“I was too big for normal scales,” he admitted. “When the industrial scales showed how big I’d got, and the doctor warned me my weight was killing me, I panicked.
“He recommended bariatric surgery, so I realised things had got bad.”

For a week after the fateful doctor’s visit, Pat was incredibly depressed and “emotionally ate”.
Then he pulled himself together and, determined to win his battle of the bulge, started walking.
First it was just to his local supermarket. But gradually, he started exercising more and more – eventually going to the gym.
“I started going to the gym every day and got a trainer,” he said.
“I don’t think he had worked with someone who weighed as much as me, but the exercises he started me on were appropriate and gradually the weight started to come off.”
Pat also embraced “clean eating,” which meant snacking on vegetables and nuts and eating nutritious meals, such as lean chicken and spinach.
The thought of eating nuggets disgusts Pasquele now
“I would only have things that were healthy,” he said. “I didn’t, at that stage, have any goals.
“I just didn’t want to die.”
Now he weighs around 16 stone and has just 11 percent body fat.
The thought of eating nuggets disgusts him.
“Even if I have just a slice of pizza I feel revolting,” he said. “I’m so glad I made the change.
“I even inspire people on social media. I have strangers contact me asking for advice and how I did it.”
His fat melted away to reveal good looks, too – and it’s made people treat him differently.
“Before people would ignore me,” he said. “Now, women talk to me.
“But there’s only one woman for me, and that’s Jasmyne.”
