A 17-year-old has used his love of video games to shed half his body weight. Taylor LeBron was a severely obese 14-year-old, weighing more than 300 pounds, when he decided to do something about his unhealthy situation – he created the Ultimate Fitness Game, a weight-loss program he describes in his newly released book, Cutting Myself in Half: 150 Pounds Lost, One Byte at a Time
Speaking on The Today Show, Taylor said: “You have enemies, you have allies, and you have money. You have to play smart; otherwise, you run out of your money. Your score needs to be high at the end of the day.”
To Taylor, calories were money, which he could spend every day either by eating or banking them as weight loss. He could earn money by exercising, while his enemies were inactivity, bad food choices, large portions, liquid calories and stress.
It may have taken him 3 years to lose the weight, but Taylor stuck to his strategy like he would with any other video game, and says in his new book Cutting Myself in Half: 150 Pounds Lost, One Byte at a Time

Whoa. There's something you don't hear everyday. Video games are notorious for making people gain weight. People would usually eat a lot of calories and not move at all in front of their game causing the weight to increase. But it looks like the "ultimate fitness game" can actually help someone.
A reminder to everyone who plays this: remember that you still have responsibilities to attend to. You should also remember to eat healthy food so your overall health won't get affected in the long run.
