How did Jimmy Kimmel lose weight?
The star has opened up about following the 5:2 diet in order to lose weight.
"I got the idea from a BBC documentary about this Indian man who seemed about 138 years old, and said his secret was severe calorie restriction," he told Men's Journal.
Jimmy loves his food
But any glance at Jimmy's Instagram feed will tell you that the man loves his food so he will not deny himself any of the good stuff – he just makes sure it's not on a fasting day!
What exercise does Jimmy Kimmel do?
Despite most healthcare professionals recommending diet and exercise in order to maintain a fit physique, Jimmy does not like to exercise. In the same interview, he said: "I've realized that you can work out, and that's great, but if you really want to lose weight, you have to eat less. It's something that had never occurred to me. I always thought, 'Well, if I start running, I'll be in good shape.' But I know people who run every day and they still have a gut."
