    Default Drew Carey Loses 80lb on Keto Diet!

    Drew Carey: How I Lost 80 Lbs.

    Drew Carey
    Splash News Online





    Drew Carey has been known as a loveable, teddy-bear type as far back as his long-running sitcom The Drew Carey Show. But, he says, being big was a burden – and he had to make a change.

    "It sucks being fat, you know," Carey, 52, said Wednesday at the CBS, Showtime and The CW TCA Party in Beverly Hills. "I was diabetic with Type-2 diabetes.”

    Not anymore. After Carey embarked on a strict regime, shaving his diet of carbohydrates and hitting the gym religiously, he dropped 80 lbs. since January and says, "I'm not diabetic anymore. No medication needed."

    So how’d he do it?

    "No carbs," Carey says. "I have cheated a couple times, but basically no carbs, not even a cracker. No bread at all. No pizza, nothing. No corn, no beans, no starches of any kind. Egg whites in the morning or like, Greek yogurt, cut some fruit."

    He snacks on fruit, and for dinner he’ll have grilled chicken and steamed vegetables and water. "I don't drink anything but water," he says. "No coffee, no tea, no soda." Hitting the Gym

    Equally important, he says, is keeping up his workouts. His secret: "Lots of cardio. About 45 minutes of cardio, at least 45 minutes of cardio. I've been kind of lazy like lately, so I'm not doing it 6 days a week, but I will be for this next month."

    All this discipline has gotten Carey from a size 44 pants to a 33-34, with his goal to lose another 10 lbs. and shrink to a size 32.

    "I like being skinny," says Carey. "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."

    He prob just meant starchy carbs. That's what most normal people consider "carbs". Fruits and veggies are usually acceptable. I wonder if he had the help of a nutritionist or trainer or if he winged it and did the research on his own to learn how to diet and train.

    The dude lost 80 lbs and reversed the symptoms of his type 2 diabetes (I dont like to use the word "cured".)

    Awesome effort, I hope a few of the ranks of the morbidly obese sit up and take notice.

    ^This.

    He never said he was on a Keto diet...Dave did. Although Drew did say no carbs, once again he prob just meant starchy carbs. We bodybuilders can be quite insane and neurotic(myself included) when it comes to dieting, but there is really no reason why a 52yr old man who is looking to lose weight and be healthy should not be able to include a moderate amount of fruits in his diet. Obviously what he is doing is working for him as there is more than one way to skin a cat (or a fat man in this case), and we would be very closed-minded to think that a precontest keto diet is the only way to lose bodyfat.

    Yep that looks very paleo, although I doubt he got into the finer points like grass fed beef, no PUFA/vegetable oil etc.

    he looks older because he has not acted since 2006 (the last time we saw him). the drew carey show ended in 2004. 20 years older? maybe 6. my parents always say; "we get the faces we deserve when we are 50."
