Kevin Smith – Lost 50 Lbs

Occasionally we go through life-changing experiences that transform us for the better. Filmmaker, actor, and comedian Kevin Smith had a major heart attack at quite a young age which changed his attitude towards health. Doctors advised him to seriously lose weight and take care of himself. The gravity of the situation made him lose 50 pounds in six months.

Smith has relayed in several interviews that being bedridden at the hospital was terrible. It gave him time to ruminate on how he had a lot of work to be done. The star followed a unique potato-only diet and lost nine pounds. Later, when he turned vegan, he shed another 40 pounds.
