Drew Carey gets personal about his weight loss secrets in Parade magazine today

Price is Right host and Cleveland's Drew Carey is two thirds the man he used to be after he chose to drop nearly 80 pounds over the course of 2010. When he first revealed his new body, Carey was not specific about his weight loss other than attributing it to old-fashioned diet, exercise, and willpower. ..................

Now, just after Price is Right started its latest season, Carey is going into more depth about what he did to lose so much weight in such a relatively short time.

Parade Magazine interviewed Carey candidly as he discussed gaining his large body weight from the days when he had been in the military earlier in life. He also discussed the disastrous consequences that being overweight had on his life including heart problems, type 3 diabetes--which is now gone, and overall fatigue. He elaborated on how he managed to lose weight naturally going from 262 to 185 pounds. As for his figure? He's 10 inches off the waist! He also discussed how he is planning to stay slim. Besides the interview, there is a sample of Carey's diet before and after the weight loss.

So, with the majority of Americans considered overweight (around 65%, and half of these people classified as obese) roughly 200 million people in the United States could take a lesson from the funny guy who decided to get serious about his health.
