Reinventing Chef Rich Reinventing, Redefining & Reshaping my life while helping others From 575 lbs to a life rebuilt — one mindset shift, one meal, one habit at a time.

I’m Rich Eaton — chef, food safety instructor, Certified Nutrition Coach, and founder of Breaking Barriers Mindset & Nutrition Coaching and Now We're Cooking. After 45+ years in the food world and a lifetime battle with morbid obesity, I hit 575 lbs and was staring down the end. Food was comfort, escape, and survival — until I decided it had to become fuel, purpose, and freedom. I earned a spot in

a 12-week personal training program, joined a weight-loss community, and eventually had gastric bypass surgery in 2020. I fought through every mental and physical barrier, shed 350 pounds, rebuilt my relationship with food, removed excess skin, and reinvented my life from the inside out. Now, I help others do the same. At Breaking Barriers, I coach people who are tired of starting over — teaching mindset mastery, real-world nutrition, and sustainable habits without shame, gimmicks, or restriction. And through Now We’re Cooking, I share reinvented comfort foods and 250+ healthy recipes that prove you don’t have to sacrifice flavor to build a healthier life. I don’t preach perfection. I teach persistence, honesty, discipline, and self-belief — because if I can break the cycle, anyone can. Change your mind, change what matters.

Sitting here at the Maine Mariners hockey game — 21st row.

Beside me? The team owner Dexter Paine, his wife, his mother, the team captain, and an Olympic bobsledder.

This is something I never could’ve done at 600 pounds.

Thanks to friends who know the owners, I landed these incredible seats — and I’m soaking in every second of it.

Because it’s not always about the big wins… sometimes the real victories are the small ones that remind you just how far you’ve come.

Mindset Reset 🧠🏒

Sometimes the best reset isn’t meditation or journaling — it’s just getting out of the damn house.

Tonight’s hockey night.
Here’s the funny thing — I wouldn’t watch a game on TV if my life depended on it… but being at the game? Whole different story.

The energy. The crowd. The noise. The shift in focus.
That’s the reset.

When your head’s spinning, stop trying to fix it inside four walls.
Change your environment — your mindset will follow.

🎭 Masquerade isn’t just about hiding behind a mask—it’s about choosing when to reveal yourself.

For years, I lived behind my own mask.
❌ No pictures.
❌ No videos.
❌ No public speaking.

I thought blending into the background was safer than being seen.

But tonight? Tonight, I’m at a masquerade party wearing a mask because I choose to, not because I have to.

That’s the real glow-up: not the weight loss, not the new clothes, not even the confidence to dance in public (okay, maybe a little of that) … it’s the freedom to choose who you are, how you show up, and when you take the mask off.

💡 The truth? You’ll never really find yourself if you’re too busy hiding yourself.

So here I am—unmasked when it matters, and masked tonight just for the fun of it.

You don’t have to eat plain chicken and broccoli to lose weight.

I’ve lost 373 pounds, and not once did I settle for bland food.I

n this high-protein chili, I packed it with flavor — onions, peppers, tomatoes, and a secret trio that takes it to the next level: a pinch of brown sugar, espresso powder, and cocoa powder.

Yes, you read that right — flavor and fat loss can go hand in hand.

This isn’t boring “diet food.” This is real food that fuels results.Want more recipes that don’t feel like punishment?

Good memories can be some of the most compelling reasons we eat certain foods.

Some foods bring back such good memories that we might have a hard time saying no.

This is one of those foods for me.

I changed up just a few things to make it more calorie-conscious without changing the flavor whatsoever.

Campfire Beans are the bomb—comfort food with a lighter twist.

What food brings back the best memories for you?
