Non-Fiction Memoir | Non-Fiction Biography
With his trademark Rock 'N Roll hair and snakeskin spandex
pants, plus a hot rod and a Harley, Lüc Carl fit the part as
a bar manager based in New York City's gritty Lower East
Side. And life was good for this Omaha, Nebraska,
transplant—a talented drummer who originally moved to the
big city to pursue his Rock 'N Roll dreams—until, suddenly,
it wasn't. Fast forward through seven years of working long
hours, bingeing on late-night Chinese food, and drinking
excessively; life had found Lüc forty pounds overweight and
completely out of shape. But when he turned to the "experts"
for advice—reading countless fitness and weight-loss books
in the process—he discovered that they all made the same
claim: "You can't drink alcohol if you want to lose weight."
Lüc decided to take matters into his own hands to transform
his body and his life his way—a sort of "f*ck you" to all
those so-called experts. Full of charismatic wit and raucous stories about his life,
The Drunk Diet will inspire and challenge you to become
fitter, healthier, and happier. Lüc's fitness philosophy
isn't about following a list of rigid rules or traditional
"do this, not that" charts, but gaining a better
understanding of how the body works and discovering what
you're personally willing to change about your lifestyle in
order to reach your goals. For him, that meant trading in
the crap he was eating for unprocessed, natural foods and
embracing a newfound love for exercise, but never
sacrificing his social life (or his love for cold beer). This is the story of how one chain-smoking,
cheeseburger-eating, hard-partying Rock 'N Roller—a
self-proclaimed "out-of-shape, bloated asshole"—grew into an
avid runner and cyclist and, ultimately, a happier version
of himself. He will be the first to tell you: If he could do
it, so can you.
