Matt Clemente Lost Over 200 Pounds, Left the Cloud Game, and Is Now Inspiring Thousands to Take Their Health Back — One Steak and One Squat at a Time
Before he became the force behind @LowCarbHighFatFella, Matt Clemente was a heavy-hitter in the world of tech — literally and figuratively.
As a senior executive at Virtustream, a high-growth cloud computing company, Matt was in the room where billion-dollar strategies were being built. Long hours, constant travel, high-stakes boardrooms — and somewhere along the way, his health took the hit. The scale tipped past 400 pounds. Energy plummeted. His reflection felt like a stranger.
Then came the turning point — Virtustream was acquired by Dell Technologies.
Matt found himself in conversations with Michael Dell himself — one of the most iconic names in tech. The kind of interaction that would validate any executive’s career. But while the boardroom wins stacked up, Matt knew something else had to change: his life.
“I was keeping business running by day and quietly breaking down my body by night. I was running global teams but couldn’t run a mile,” he says.
So he did something most people talk about but few actually do — he hit the reset button and went all-in on saving his own life.
What followed was a brutal, honest, years-long transformation. Matt lost over 200 pounds through a strict low-carb, high-fat lifestyle and a relentless focus on strength training. No surgeries. No fads. No filters.
Just real food, heavy lifts, and radical discipline.
Today, through his Instagram platform @LowCarbHighFatFella, Matt is inspiring thousands who are sick of the fake fitness industry and want someone who’s been to hell and back to lead the way. His content blends gritty motivation with actual science-backed strategies — plus recipes that are more steakhouse than starvation.
But this isn’t just some side hustle or motivational fluff. It’s a movement.
He’s now coaching professionals, parents, and fellow tech warriors who are stuck in the same grind that nearly broke him. He talks openly about the mental toll of obesity, the lies of “balanced diets,” and the power of resistance training + real food to totally change your life.
Matt’s story is proof:
- You can be powerful in business and still lose yourself.
- You can have a seat at the table and still hate what you see in the mirror.
- But you can also come back stronger — and bring others with you.
He’s not just shredded now — he’s sharpened. And he’s just getting started.
So if you’re stuck, tired of BS influencers pushing sugar cleanses, or wondering if real change is even possible…
