Losing Weight After a Heart Attack

Huey had a heart attack when he was 58 years old and had to undergo two surgeries to clear his blocked arteries. It was at that point that he decided to lose weight. He's gone on to lose 135 pounds.

He used to eat a lot of meat and that was the most drastic thing he changed about his diet. Now he eats no meat at all. He remembers how the fat would clog up his sink pipe and could imagine what effect it had on his arteries.

He also exercises very intensively, seems like too much according to what he's told the reporter at the Daily Iberian. But the reporter says that even though Huey is about to turn 72 soon, he has "the vital signs of a teenager".
