Many of us live with the stereotype that gamers are fat, eats junk food all day, and never goes out. Well here’s something to put aside ALL of these stereotypes!
A gamer named Marc Rodwell became rather obesed after a diet of curry, pizza, and soda. From a weight of over 500 pounds, he managed to lose 224 pounds. Doing what? PLAYING ROCKBAND!
He said that the game helped him work up a sweat (especially the drum). Obviously he took control of his exercises and eating habits, and Marc said most of the credit goes to playing the game.
