Chrissy Metz - 2000 Calorie Diet

Having already lost and gained substantial weight numerous times, Chrissy Metz chose to follow the 2000 Calorie diet daily combined with a light 20-minute walk, and the results were astounding. Not only did the blonde beauty lose over 100 pounds, but she also claims she has never felt better. We wish her a wealth of joy and health for her future.

From stealing our hearts in 'This Is Us' to performing at the 2020 Academy Awards, Chrissy has been making all the right moves in her acting career lately. We're glad the blue-eyed actress decided to act on the weight that she claimed to have often held her back formerly.

Melissa McCarthy - Lifestyle Change and Diet

Melissa McCarthy fans have been wondering how she lost so much weight in such a short while. The actress had, for a long time, struggled with fluctuating weight issues that kept changing her appearance.

McCarthy even had to start designing her clothes, since designers were finding it hard to dress her. Recently though, she has been able to maintain a lean figure which has left tongues wagging, and it was only a matter of time before she broke the ice. According to the star, it didn’t take much for her to get the new shape except accepting her situation and undertaking an exercise routine. The results are visible to everyone!

Gabourey Sidibe - Stomach Surgery

Star of 'Precious,' the Academy Award-nominated actress Gabourey Sibide has been taking social media by storm lately with her selfies featuring her dramatic weight loss. Though she tried her best to lose weight naturally, her doctor recommended she get stomach surgery due to previous unsuccessful dieting attempts.

After a successful laparoscopic bariatric surgery, the 'Empire' star has been gradually dropping the pounds. With her career jetting off to new heights of wealth and fame, Gabourey revels in her nearly 150-pound weight loss while also celebrating her new relationship with boyfriend Brandon Frankel.

Kirsten Vangsness - Diet

Actress Kirsten stunned many with her transformational appearance that is quite magnificent. When people start thinking you took slimming pills to shed some pounds, it's evidence that your weight loss program is working!

When she was growing up, the 'Criminal Minds' star was a chubby kid, and it carried on into adulthood, where it became more pronounced given that she was always under the public eye. Kirsten decided to do something about it by following a clean diet regime and being more active. She could lose some 50 pounds, and we must give it to her; she looks phenomenal!

Jorge Garcia - Diet and Exercise

Fans of mystery series 'Lost' fondly remember Jorge Garcia's enthralling performances in the TV show, but a little known fact is that the Hollywood star had to lose some weight for the starring role. Before all that, Garcia was a food addict with so much weight, and he had to carry out an overhaul of his diet, coupled with some exercise routines. '

The outcome was a leaner physique that left him looking and feeling fabulous. Since then, he has never looked back, going on to become an activist for healthy living while inspiring millions who are in pursuit of improving their lifestyle.

Mama June - Gastric Bypass Surgery

Jude Shannon has thousands of fans worldwide, stemming from her hugely popular shows like 'Mama June: From Hot to Not' and 'Dancing with the Stars: Dr. Phil.' As a public figure, the spotlight is always shining on her, and it came as no surprise when fans started getting concerned about her weight.

The reality TV queen scaled an astonishing 460 pounds, and doctors had already raised a red flag on her health. Surgery was the best option on the table, and under the knife, she went. The results were astounding, with three hundred pounds lost in a short span, which left the star looking delightfully charming!

Kaley Cuoco - Diet and Exercise

The star of 'Big Bang Theory,' Kaley Cuoco, is known for always rocking an incredibly fit and healthy physique. She is remarkably open about her tips for maintaining herself looking so trim and youthful, often sharing her fitness and diet routines in interviews.

Not only does she work out thrice-a-week with a personal trainer at the gym, but the '8 Simple Rules' star is also a big yoga enthusiast. But her dedication to clean and healthy living doesn't stop there. Kaley's decision to eat a lean diet consisting mostly of tofu and vegetables keeps her body fat in check and her skin looking luxuriously fresh and young.

Jeremy Clarkson - Healthier Diet

Losing as much as two stones in a short period seems highly unlikely and even impossible. Still, Jeremy Clarkson managed to do just that as he recently sported a ripped build.

So, how was he inspired, you wonder? Easy! The Queen was his inspiration, and we are not kidding. Jeremy found out that Her Majesty almost always only sat down to eat only a little bit of chocolate mousse and a single lettuce leaf, and that is what he did as well. The star is not a huge fan of exercising, so he adopted a strict meal plan instead. Must be worth a try, given his brand new look.

Michael Fassbender - Low-Calorie Diet

In 2008's superhit 'Hunger,' Michael Fassbender played the part of Bobby Sands, a young lad who passed away after 66 days of being food-deprived. Off-screen, though, the star was binge eating, but recently he decided to ditch unhealthy food and have a restricted meal plan instead.

He had a controlled diet and made sure that he only consumed 900 calories every day. That, combined with daily yoga, loads of cardio, and regular workout sessions, helped him lose a lot of weight. He even looks slightly unrecognizable post-transformation, and above all, the chap seems more confident as well.

Loni Love - Method: Undisclosed

A lot of people credit healthy meal plans and regular workout sessions to their weight loss transformations, but Loni love says otherwise. For her, it was her happy personal and professional life that aided in shedding some extra pounds.

We don't know how the two are related, but one thing is for sure - after losing as much as 30 pounds, Loni looked spectacular as she swept the red-carpet in a well-fitted sleek satin dress. We wonder what exactly went behind the scenes; a restricted diet and plenty of physical activity are our best bet.

Kim Kardashian - Atkins 40 Plan

Kim Kardashian has made a multi-million dollar empire out of always looking amazingly fit and beautiful. Although being a working mom and wealthy entrepreneur cannot leave much time to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle, Kim knows the secret to manage both.

The Atkins 40 plan involves eating no more than 40 grams of carbs every day, and the alluring brunette adheres to her diet with strict discipline. Combining that with a firm no-sugar rule, Kim keeps herself looking svelte with luxuriously glowing skin. In a time when women are poised to take their rightful place in the modern world, Kim is proving women really can have it all.

Jennifer Gimenez - Moderation & Exercise

The world of weight-loss and fitness comes with many hidden pitfalls and dangerous, unhealthy habits like crash diets and starvation. And in the case of reality TV star Jennifer Gimenez, her initial ill-advised weight-loss attempt only resulted in adding a further 18 pounds.

But the former model broke through with an epiphany to change her lifestyle at a deeper level. Abandoning diet fads, the actress began a regimented workout schedule as she exercised moderation and portion control in her daily meals. Losing over a hundred pounds, Jennifer is the perfect example of focusing on sustainable lifestyle changes for lasting results.

Mel Gibson - Protein Diet

With his first theatre roles receiving critical acclaim, Mel Gibson rapidly rose to become one of Hollywood's most sought after leading men. The handsome actor's career peaked as his directorial projects won a succession of prestigious awards but the veteran heartthrob, having reached his 60s, was in the worst shape of his life.

But a chance encounter with a health coach at a restaurant changed all that. Agreeing to let a nutritionist take charge of his meals, Mel lost an incredible 14kg in just eight weeks following a protein and legume-heavy diet. Rocking an impressively toned physique, we hope Mel has no plans of retirement from filmmaking any time soon.

Jodie Sweetin - Diet & Nutrition

'Full House' star Jodie Sweetin has been a fixture on our screens since '87, and growing up in front of the cameras put incredible pressure to look flawless. But the bubbly young star has an endearingly simple approach towards staying fit and energetic by prioritizing home-cooked meals, involving the freshest ingredients.

As the starlet diversifies her professional portfolio with appearances in a wide range of programs, she has used her growth to discard unhealthy eating habits. Jodie's incredibly modest and sustainable approach to looking and feeling her best is an inspiration to anyone looking for a healthier lifestyle on a budget.

Cameron Diaz - Mediterranean-Style Diet

Being a Hollywood A-lister often means that you have the wealth and resources to enjoy the best things in life. For international superstar Cameron Diaz, it was junk food in her youth that she could not resist. Though delicious, fast food comes with a host of dietary frustrations, and the statuesque actress consciously chose to veer her food choices in a healthier direction.

Settling on a Mediterranean-style diet, the blue-eyed leading lady is still eating a diverse selection from all the food groups. The only difference is the ingredients' quality and freshness. Calling her food selection the longevity diet, Cameron proudly credits her no-fuss meals for looking so incredibly fit.

Conchata Ferrel - Mindful Living

When it comes to making a successful career out of small-parts in television and film, no one has entirely managed it like Conchata Ferrel. A regular cast member in several hit sitcom series, her performance as Berta in a twelve season run of the incredibly popular TV show 'Two And A Half Men' made her a household name.

But the witty actress has been plagued with a fluctuating weight throughout her career despite numerous attempted diets. In her 70s, the copper-haired Conchata, though still on the larger side, is at a healthier and more manageable weight, all thanks to living a mindful and healthy life at her family house.

Candace Cameron - Diet & Exercise

The star of 'Full House,' Candace Cameron keeps herself looking incredibly fit and youthful, but her commitment to the diet and workout routine she follows is genuinely inspirational. The ever-busy working mom of three follows a strict portion-controlled diet accompanied by custom-tailored workouts prepared for her by a fitness coach.

The energetic blonde has donned many hats during her career, seamlessly transitioning from acting to production and being a panelist on 'The View.' Though her fitness lifestyle may break the bank for regular folk, Cameron is an excellent reminder that good things come to those in life who work hard for them.

Mo'Nique - Diet & Exercise

Though Mo'Nique's first noticeable performance was on TV in the show 'The Parkers,' her Oscar-winning turn in 'Precious' cemented her reputation as a Hollywood A-lister. However, her Academy Award win came at a time in life when she weighed her heaviest, a staggering 300 pounds.

Candid from the get-go about her struggle with weight, Mo'Nique began shedding the pounds impressively quickly. Addressing surgical rumors in the media, the formidable comedienne debunked the speculation. She readily credits her fitness journey to being active around the house, eating fresh foods, and making drastic attitude adjustments. We wish Mo'Nique all the best and cannot wait to see what she does next.

Emily Atack - Eating Healthy

For many of us, being quarantined was an entirely new situation to deal with, and some people struggled to create productive routines for themselves. But not Emily Atack - the pretty blond star of 'The Inbetweeners', put her quarantined time to excellent use by shifting her dietary habits in a healthier direction.

Though Emily had already lost around 7 pounds during her appearance on a reality TV show, the charming Brit realized she loved cooking for herself when she found herself stuck at home. By merely cooking healthy meals for herself in her home's comfort, Emily has lost another 14 pounds and looks better than ever.

James Argent - Boot Camp

All the media focus on his yoyoing weight made James Argent the subject of endless speculation. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, James called on the love and support of his family and friends to help him enroll in a Thai Boot Camp to declutter and streamline his lifestyle.

James Argent became a household name in Britain after his eight-year run on 'The Only Way Is Essex,' and the much sought-after actor appeared in a string of reality TV shows soon after. Already having lost nearly 70 pounds, James is back in the UK but is still going strong, and we wish him the best.

Joaquin Phoenix - Medical Weight Loss

For his role in 'Joker,' Joaquin Phoenix had to push his body to the limit by losing an outrageous amount of weight in quite a short span. The feat, which doctors warn anyone against trying, was needed for the main character in the blockbuster.

While the exact method used is not in the public domain, the movie star was under constant medical supervision as he was attempting the impossible - losing 52 pounds in a little over a month. Joaquin pulled it off and delivered a masterclass performance! Some Hollywood stars go to the world's lengths to entertain us, and he is one of them. Whew!

Peter Kay - Sirtfood Diet

Comedian, Peter Kay, took quite some time out of the spotlight, and when he finally made a public appearance after what seemed like forever, we were shocked! You see, the man used to be known for his huge build, but interestingly in his most recent pictures, the star looks much leaner and even happier.

It turns out that Peter decided to ditch all kinds of junk food, including unhealthy fats and sugar from his meals. He then followed the 'Sirtfood Diet,' which revolves around food that burns fat. This meal plan has helped him reduce as much as a massive seven pounds every week! No wonder he looks slimmer!

Kirstie Alley - Dance and Diet

Actress Kirstie Alley has been quite candid with her weight struggles, and for the actress, it has been an arduous journey full of ups and downs. Nevertheless, she has managed to ride the wave and come out on top.
Back in 2004, her partnership with 'Jenny Craig,' a nutrition company, helped her shed some 75 pounds, which she later regained.

However, upon appearing on 'Dancing with the Stars' in 2011, Alley lost 100 pounds, and she has never slid back. Regular exercise and a healthy diet helped keep the pounds away, and for the dancing queen, she’s never looked better!

Delta Burke - Diet and Exercise

Delta Burke’s is one of those inspiring Hollywood weight loss stories. After struggling with diabetes, depression, and weight gain issues for the longest time, dawn finally came for this star. With the trusted combination of diet and exercise, she managed to turn her fortunes around despite being at a stressful period in her life.

Losing twenty pounds may seem insignificant, but for Burke, it was a big step in the right direction, which motivated her more to change her lifestyle. She has now lost over sixty pounds and is still forging ahead in her bid to lose more. Good luck to this queen!

Carnie Wilson - Weight Loss Surgery

Carnie Wilson used to weigh more than 300 pounds and decided to go under the knife 12 years ago in an effort to get fit and look lean. She underwent gastric bypass surgery and managed to lose half her body weight, post-operation. That is understandable because this procedure focuses on reducing the size of your stomach, which results in a lower appetite and, subsequently, a leaner frame!

About Carnie, she had another of those incisions done recently as well, as she thought she was getting slightly heavy. We hope that the singer feels satisfied now because, in our eyes, she is perfect with or without a few extra pounds!

Dan Fogler - Method: Undisclosed

As far as impressive weight loss shifts go, Dan Fogler's minus 100-pound metamorphosis tops the list. When the Hollywood showstopper appeared in public looking so much lighter, fans were shocked, and some were even concerned. That is fair because losing that much of heft in such a short period of time sounds dangerous and could even be unhealthy if done the wrong way.

Soon, Dan took to the Gram and assured them that he went through this transformation by adopting a healthy lifestyle, and there was no reason to be uneasy. We are not disturbed, only overwhelmed- just take a look at the before and after pictures!

Jonah Hill - Working Out

Jonah Hill must be feeling super hyped lately because he has been hitting the gym regularly these days. After a lot of lunges and crunches, he is flaunting a much leaner figure! The 'Wolf of Wall Street' cynosure is still on his weight-loss quest, but we don't think he needs it; the man looks superbly fine already.

The movie star seems to be wanting to get his biceps more defined; at least that is what we get from his picture on the Gram as he is posing for the camera, flexing his arms. Way to go, Jonah!

Lisa Riley - Portion Control

Lisa Riley, the ultimate soap star, has also managed to lose a whopping amount of weight— a massive 12 stone, to be precise! Many assumed that she had undergone lap-band surgery to flaunt such a transformation. Yet, the actress credits smaller portions and a controlled diet for her awe-inspiring 360-degree flip!

She substituted her usual plate for a much smaller bowl and reduced the carb-intake in her meals as well, meaning there were more proteins and healthy fats in her diet. Lisa also added that the number one step to re-evaluating your choices for a healthier frame is to take responsibility for your mind and body. Noted, girl!

Celine Dion - Dance(ballet)

With numerous concerns around Celine Dion's health owing to her drastic weight loss, the music queen refuted the rumors and assured her fans she is doing fine. Apparently, the chart-topping star has been dancing a lot nowadays, up to four times a week, which is the reason for her lean frame.

Besides, the Canadian singer says she has been thin all her life, and the hectic schedule of a performing artist would never allow her to bulk up. Dion is still making headlines in her current role as the spokesperson of 'L'Oréal Paris/,' a major beauty brand.

Kourtney Kardashian - Keto Diet

Fans of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' are well aware of how cautious Kourtney Kardashian is of what she puts in her stomach. She eats only organic produce, but there was a time when the queen of healthy eating herself had a bad relationship with food.

All that changed when she decided to give the Keto-diet a try, and soon, she managed to lose the extra pounds and brandished a much slimmer figure. Kourtney came on her show 'Poosh' and said that this meal plan is the best way to help reduce carb intake, sugar cravings and kickstart a healthy weight loss journey, anything you say, Kourt!

Sheridan Smith - Increased Physical Activity

While many of us struggle to lose a couple of pounds a month, songstress Sheridan Smith flaunted a shapely figure in just fourteen days and proved that nothing is impossible if you try. For those who look at things in terms of pounds, that is as much 28 pounds in such a short period. Impressive, much?

Sheridan shared pictures of her slim structure on Instagram and ascribed that it was a change in her daily grind that finally helped her get to the target weight. She worked hard on set and was extremely active physically. All that effort paid off at the end, so kudos to her!

Christina Aguilera - Diet and Exercise

Pop icon Christina Aguilera has recently turned heads with her new frame, and we can't help but notice her exquisite figure.

It began with a pregnancy, which bulked her up as is the norm with women who are expecting. After the birth of her son, she embarked on a personal transformation journey marked by hours in the gym, coupled with a change in diet. The reason for her weight loss was thanks to a role in a movie she was due to star in, the musical romance film 'Burlesque'. Although the movie did not meet expectations at the box office, it left her in great shape, which she still maintains.

Josh Peck - Healthy Diet

During his time on Nickelodeon's hit TV show, 'Drake & Josh,' Josh Peck did not have an ideal body. But shockingly, a few years later, in his guest role in 'Fuller House,' he took everyone by surprise by getting into perfect shape. The actor credits a healthy diet and a consistent workout routine for his incredible weight loss, but we're convinced it took more than that.

Unlike many of us, Josh had his eyes on his goal, and within no time, pulled off an impressive transformation. It seems that we have a lot to learn from him; let's get to work!

Robbie Williams – Diet & Exercise

Robbie Williams has always been a big shot in the country music scene since his debut in the early '90s, and we certainly cannot picture the C&W site without the man's contribution to it. Over the years, we have also witnessed the luminary battle with his weight, but he certainly has managed to cut some extra heft to flaunt a much trimmer figure.

To attain his weight loss goals, Robbie followed the basics and went on a diet. Portion control and healthier food choices were prominent in his meal plan, he also hit the gym regularly, and voila, the singer was down 30 pounds!

Sam Smith – Hired A Nutritional Therapist & Personal Trainer

If you are a huge Sam Smith fan like us, you would know how the pop-music icon was a tiny bit on the heavier side, physically. But all that changed when he decided to hire a personal nutritionist and a trainer who helped him make healthier choices.

Soon, Sam had an impeccable transformation and appeared much slimmer, leaner, and happier even. It seems like he is content mentally as well because the star bravely posts pictures of himself on the social media handles, flaunting what appears to be the beginnings of a six-pack! It is certainly incredible how much a shift in lifestyle can do to your mind and body!

Sara Rue – Consistent Workouts

As you can see here, Sara Rue's weight loss metamorphosis is one for the history books. She was known for her big-build, but Sara looks unrecognizable post-transformation. So, now the big question is, how exactly did she manage to go from a size XXL to an M? Read on to find out!

The 'Less and Popular' actress mentioned that she stuck to a healthier lifestyle and went for a restricted meal plan. Sarah also went above and beyond with her exercise regimen and hit the gym regularly, doing crunches and lunges every single day!

James Corden – Hired A Nutritional Therapist & Worked Out

Just like Sam Smith, James Cordon also brandished a much leaner figure after hiring a personal Nutritional therapist. This dietitian aided him in cutting off bread and sugar from his meals and provided healthier alternatives to binge-eating and snacking on junk food, which caused him to gain weight in the first place.

In addition, the 'Late Late Show with James Cordon' star also began hitting the gym regularly and worked out really hard. And did all the hard pay off? It certainly did! James is now 70 pounds lighter than he was before deciding to make a change for the better. Remarkable!

Renée Zellweger – Ate Only Healthy Meals & Exercised

Just take a look at Renée Zellweger's stunning weight loss transformation! The before and after pictures look like it is two different people altogether. That is why we say anything is possible if you have the will to do so.

Ironically, Renée had to put on some extra pounds for a role in the movie 'Bridget Jones,' and once the shooting for the film was over, she knew she had to change her ways and get back in shape. It was easy for the actress as she had immense self-control and only opted for healthy servings and worked out intensely as well!

Kate Winslet – Diet & Exercise

Kate Winslet is still the very same blonde sensation who took the world by storm in the 'Titanic,' 'The Reader,' and 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.' But even she, like most of us, ordinary folks, has struggled with weight gain.

But Kate's impasse with extra pounds did not last for too long, and there was one protocol that she always followed during those times; she ditched the scales and never weighed herself. Instead, the actress focused on eating clean and following an effective workout regimen. So, if you are on a weight loss journey, never fixate your attention on the scale!

Valerie Bertinelli – Fat-Burning Exercise & Better Eating Habits

The next celebrity on our list who flaunts an awe-inspiring weight loss is Valerie Bertinelli. Known for her roles on super-hit shows like 'Hot in Cleveland,' 'Touched by an angel,' and 'One day at a Time,' she has been gracing the small screen for a long time.

If you are a fan of the star, you must also know that Valerie has lost an incredible amount of weight in quite a short amount of time. When questioned about how she attained her target figure, Valerie credited her ''fat-burning workout sessions and healthier eating habits. Noted, Val!

Pauline Quirke – Diet

'Birds of a Feather' star Pauline Quirke looks noticeably slimmer these days and has lost as much as a massive three stone. For those who look into things in terms of lbs, that is a whopping 42 pounds!

The actress has managed to do that by revamping her lifestyle. She cut out sugar and alcohol from her diet and started being more physically active. So what exactly inspired Pauline to change her ways, you wonder? The star was diagnosed with osteoarthritis, which made it difficult for her to move around, and her extra weight was an added burden. We are certainly glad that Pauline is hale and hearty now!

Timothy Spall – Healthy Lifestyle

A lot of you might know Timothy Spall for starring in the 'Harry Potter' film franchise. And if you take a look at how the actor looks today, you would be surprised by the drastic change in his appearance, mainly because of the weight Spall has managed to lose over the years.

As unbelievable as it may seem, he did not go under the knife to shed those extra pounds. Neither did he openly say what exactly inspired him or how he underwent such an incredible transformation. All we know is that the star switched to a much healthier lifestyle and bam! He looks like a whole new person now.

Adele – Diet & Exercise

The songstress is undeniably among the greatest singers of all time, but when she was starting in the music industry, she used to be on the heavier side. Adele revealed that she lost weight by shifting her diet to more plant-based meals, and cutting her tea intake also helped her a lot.

Not only that, but reportedly, Adele had a personal trainer who helped her get back in shape, and now many of you will agree that the artist looks breathtaking these days! She is an inspiration for all the women out there.

Kelly Price – Eating Right & Working Out

The gorgeous actress has always been open about her life struggles with weight gain. In 2014, when Kelly Price lost her beloved sister, her sorrow caused her to gain more pounds. Unlike many lazy people, she got a reality check and soon realized that she could no longer live an unhealthy lifestyle.

So, Kelly decided to become more active and switched to a healthier diet program, causing her to lose a significant amount of weight. To this day, the gorgeous celeb remains consistent with her new way of living and is now confident in her skin.

Fergie – Low-Calorie Diet

Fergie is undoubtedly one of those celebrities we would not expect to ever experience weight gain. Well, we are wrong because it seems that motherhood is really tough, and that is when she put on some extra pounds. In 2013, after having her cute son, Fergie realized that she would have to put in a lot of effort to get her trimmed body back.

Thanks to the star's regular workout routine and low-calorie diet, she got back her perfect body shape back within no time. Kelly now looks very happy with her new figure, and we are proud of her determination and hard work!

Timbaland – Diet & Exercise

Since the mid-1990s, Timbaland has been among the most hardworking record producers in the industry. Owing to his busy schedule, the artist had lost track of his weight gain for a long time, but a few years back, Timbaland decided to get into shape and transform his body.

He worked hard, and within no time, somehow managed to lose a staggering 130 pounds. Timbaland says that sticking to a healthy diet and a regular workout routine did wonders for him. He has not still reached the weight loss goal and continues to put in work to this day. Well, that is impressive!

Sasha Pieterse – Diet & Dancing

Most of you might remember Sasha Pieterse as Alison DiLaurentis of ‘Pretty Little Liars.’ But the lesser-known fact about the actress is that losing weight has been quite challenging for her. In 2017, when she got into the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ program, she used it to shed some pounds. Sasha was determined to get in shape and decided to give up binge-eating.

Unfortunately, even after losing some weight, she regained some of it due to her Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Sasha says that her condition causes her to gain more weight even if she exercises and eats the right diet.

Kelly Osbourne – Diet & Exercise

Kelly Osbourne is best known for starring in ‘The Osbournes’ with her family. Over the years, she became an even more popular star, and it seemed that the gorgeous actress was also able to work on her figure as well. When asked about her secret, Kelly says that she started an exercise routine and altered her diet.

Even though Kelly had means to take an easy way out and get the surgery, she trusted her will power and lost weight the natural way. Reportedly, she got rid of nearly 70 pounds —way to go, Kelly!

Drew Barrymore – Followed Kimberly Snyder’s Diet & Exercise

Drew Barrymore rose to fame at a very young age, and over the years in Hollywood, we’ve seen her physical appearance change to a minimum level. But when Drew got married and had kids, it also made her gain a lot of weight. However, things changed, and the actress eventually decided to get in shape after getting cast for ‘Santa Clarita Diet.’

She lost 20 pounds, and Drew says that it is because she stopped eating junk food and followed Kimberly Snyder’s diet program complemented with a daily workout routine.

Anna Gunn - Pilates

Anna Gunn's chosen fitness approach is pilates and running around after her two children managing motherhood duties. During her time playing Anna Skyler on the acclaimed AMC show 'Breaking Bad,' the gifted actress gained considerable weight, the cause being a side effect of the medication that she was on.

Anna completed her treatment despite the unwanted side-effects and soon after began to trim down. The famous television star returned to the public eye in full force with a fantastic new figure and luxurious looking skin as she snagged the best actress Emmy Award.

Garth Brooks - Diet & Exercise

Garth Brooks, an American singer and songwriter, has earned immense popularity, especially in the United States, by mixing rock and pop into the country genre. There are many awards to his name that showcase a prosperous career. Likewise, his journey to losing weight has also been a successful one.

The star's path to shedding some pounds only began once he starting paying more attention to his health and fitness. Both diet and exercise have been Garth's constant pals that led him to slim down. We hope he maintains this consistency and gives priority to ultimate fitness because the new look really suits him!

Rachael Ray - Cardio and Mediterranean Style Diet

Gourmet expert Rachael Ray keeps herself looking so young and fit that she looks decades younger than her age. The multiple Emmy awards winning chef is all about clean and active living, so it comes as no surprise that her fitness secrets revolve around her lifestyle mantra.

Working out with her husband, Rachael uses a combination of cardio and strength training at the gym, and at home, it's all about gorgeous and fresh ingredients with the Mediterranean-style diet that she follows. One look at her luxuriously supple and wrinkle-free looking skin, and it's clear that Rachael's holistic approach to beauty and fitness works wonders.

Roseanne Barr - Gastric Bypass Surgery

The beloved ABC star Roseanne Barr may not often post on her social media, but she certainly snags everyone's attention when she does. Her most recent Instagram post has the famed actress looking unbelievably fit and healthy.

Continually struggling with her weight for many years, the wealthy Hollywood star opted to undergo a gastric bypass surgery with stunning results. But to keep the excess pounds, Roseanne has made exercise a regular part of her life. Now in her 60s, not only does the veteran actress look fantastic, but we also hope she'll be making a triumphant return to the screen soon.

Kathy Bates - Mindfulness

Arguably one of her generation's most talented actresses, Kathy Bates brings real star power to every role she plays. The multiple Emmys and Golden Globe Award winner recently received a lot of media attention for losing nearly 60 pounds.

When asked about her method, the Oscar winner's answer was one no one expected. Her secret is that old nugget of wisdom we have all heard of, 'mindfulness.' Kathy has spent years painstakingly learning to listen to her body, knowing when to push her plate away and what is right for her physical well-being. Now in her 70s, the celebrated and wealthy performer looks better than ever.

Kelly Clarkson - The Plant Paradox Diet

When Kelly Clarkson won 'American Idol,' the fans, fame, and cash began pouring in, but the talented singer's weight woes cast a shadow over her meteoric success. When the charmingly humble star lost several pounds, everyone wanted to know how she had done it.

Kelly credits the dramatic weight-loss to her diet based on the bestseller 'The Plant Paradox,' a guide to better eating that rejects certain food-groups based on the potentially harmful proteins found in them. Though such a drastically reduced pantry is not something regular people can work with, a global superstar like Kelly certainly has the means to afford to be extremely selective about what she eats.

Ricki Lake - Portion Control and Exercise

Though the wealth and lucrative television deals kept pouring in, Ricki Lake was privately struggling with an unhealthy relationship with food for years. When she finally decided to take charge of her weight, the witty talk-show host began by dramatically cutting down her daily calorie intake and exercising. With her health and weight in check, Ricki looks happier than ever and is truly an inspiration.

When she made her big-screen debut at 19, Ricki already weighed a staggering 200 pounds. And though her career has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride since then, the 'Hairspray' star lost over 130 pounds and has kept the weight off for nearly 15 years!

Forest Whitaker- Vegetarian Diet and Exercise

Forest Whitaker had no tabs on whether what he was consuming was fattening or not, due to which he always had a battle with obesity. Yet, he worked on himself and shed a great amount of weight, and the rest is history!

The secret to his weight loss was vegetarianism and a meticulously planned exercise routine. The audience saw him in shows like 'Empire' and 'Godfather of Harlem' with his new physique. We all await his upcoming musical named 'Jingle Jangle' so that the fans get a chance to admire his acting as well as the efforts he has put into losing those pounds!
