Drew Carey is another celebrity whose weight loss journey has astonished a large number of admirers.

I suppose people enjoy these types of stories because they are encouraging and remind them that no matter how wealthy or famous someone is, they must work really hard to seem thin and healthy.

 

Carey began his career as a stand-up comedian and quickly climbed to prominence with his show The Drew Carey Show, which ran on ABC from 1995 to 2004 and featured a fictitious version of the comic. Previously, he was well-known for his appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and Late Night with David Letterman.

Millions of people fell in love with the fat actor once his show premiered.

He, on the other hand, was uncomfortable in his own skin and want to modify anything about his appearance. “I was sick of looking overweight on camera. “I got sick of it,” he told People.

During his younger days, Carey served in the Marine Corps for six years and was very fit, but once he turned to acting he somehow forgot to mind what he was eating. His diet consisted of junk food and soda most of his days.

In 2007, the comedian started dating Nicole Jaracz, who had a son, Connor, from a preveious relationship. Although the two separated in 2012, Carey still considers Connor his son and the two are very close. In fact, it was this boy who inspired the comedian to turn to a healthier lifestyle. He knew that if he continued eating junk food and gaining weight, he wouldn’t be able to see Connor growing up.

 

“That was a terrible feeling. I thought, I’m never going to see him graduate high school,” Drew told Parade after he was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes and heart problems.

The actor’s weight loss journey began in 2010, and he now appears unrecognizable.

Carey quit eating carbohydrates and waved goodbye to junk food. Believe it or not, the “Price is Right” host lost over 100 pounds and went from size 44 to 34. “I don’t have diabetes anymore. “No medication is required,” he told People.

”I like being skinny,” the actor added. “I was sick of being fat on the camera. Really, I just got sick of it. Once I started losing weight, again, like once I started dropping a couple pant sizes, then it was easy ’cause once you see the results, then you don’t wanna stop.”

 

Besides a diet that includes lost of eggs, Greek yogurt, grilled chicken and lots of fruits and vegetables, the secret behind his awesome looks is lots of cardio.
