Ugel sets off on a yearlong journey to figure out how to live in a world without dim sum, smoked Italian meats, and the pleasure of cooking whatever and however he wants. He spends his days torn between two worlds: nutritionists and personal trainers versus pancetta and Haagen-Dazs. It’s a war of attrition –each side has its share of victories and utter failures.

I’m With Fatty is a funny, candid, personal story of weight loss from the male perspective- taking the reader on a frustrating, embarrassing, and inspiring journey that is the last great hope of a man desperate to save his own life –or at least own a pair of pants that fits.
