In 2016, he tried his best to lose some weight and tried different weight loss methods and even succeeded to a certain extent. But, he did not receive the result accordingly, making him revert to his original plan. Because of his unhealthy eating habits and addiction to food, he gained about 400 pounds. His weight gain made him reach a dangerous point in his life.
His close ones and his doctor advised different ways to decrease his weight, including surgery of removing fats from his body.
He realized the possibilities of Type 2 Diabetes, stroke, and sudden heart attack and began to take his weight loss journey very seriously. Jorge began his diet plan and completely became vegan. He stopped eating junk food and exercised for months for his weight loss. After putting in such efforts, Jorge lost one-fourth of his weight and reduced it from 400 to 300 pounds which drove him out of the risk zone.Â
