Carlos Diaz Challenge

Carlos Diaz



After Las Vegas was voted the fattest city in America, “Extra’s” Sin City correspondent Carlos Diaz set out to take the weight challenge.

Now the Slim-City results are in – and Carlos is officially a weight winner!

On April 30, at the beginning of Carlos’ workout tour, he weighed in at a whopping 199 pounds.

Well, one month later – Carlos weighs 184 pounds!

In 30 days, Carlos lost the weight plus four inches off his waist… and four from his butt!

Now that’s an idea we can really get behind.

He did it all with the help of “Workout” star Jackie Warner, who put him on a strict regimen from the start.











She taught him the importance of mixing weights and cardio – always keeping his abs tight while lifting with proper form.

“The more muscle on your frame, the higher your metabolism,” Jackie explained.

To change his eating habits, Carlos went to Sunfare.com, which stresses moderation.

“It taught me how to eat portions where I was not overstuffing myself,” Carlos said.

Added Jackie, “People do not understand what a real, reasonable portion is."

No diet pills, no starvation, no workouts twice a day – just eating smaller portions, staying away from sugar, drinking plenty of water and following Jackie’s workout tips.

My Story
Delicious Food That Helps You Lose Weight



My butt is small.

And I don't mean that in a figurative sense. You know, like when guys get in trouble and say, "Aw, man, my butt is so dead!" I mean it in a truly literal sense. My butt REALLY IS small. More on that later.

You see, being “Extra’s” Las Vegas correspondent does have it drawbacks. I mean, they don't call this town Sin City for nothin'! I have managed to stay away from the gambling, the booze, the partying and the ladies. (Because, in order, I'm unlucky, a lightweight, a bad dancer and married.)

But Vegas took me down with a different temptation: the buffets! I've packed on more than a few "LB's" since moving here from Manhattan Beach, California, two years ago. Weekends of surf and sun at the beach became weeks of surf and turf in the desert. How much did I gain? Hard to say. But 15 to 20 pounds would be a safe estimate.

Hey, it's not entirely my fault. Las Vegas was just voted the Fattest City in America by Men's Fitness Magazine. So at least I have company.


Welllllllllll, my bosses at “Extra” thought it would be a great idea to see if one of the best trainers in the world combined with one of the best meal services in the country could slim me down.
