A Philadelphia native who now lives in Dallas, Kevin Curry grew up with good food. His mother enjoyed cooking comforting family recipes and his childhood included plenty of soul food and Mexican cuisine. But he struggled with extra pounds in high school and college and was truly jolted one day when he saw a photograph of himself on social media.
He realized he needed to make changes, but he forged ahead with the misconception that exercise—not diet and nutrition alterations—would take off undesirable weight. “I was wrong,” he shared. “There was not enough cardio or weights in the world that could get this fat off my back. I realized that if I was going to accomplish my fitness goals, it would have to be through a steady, healthy diet, complemented by hard work in the gym.”
