Simon Cowell

‘America’s Got Talent’ judge Simon Cowell, 63, revealed he had lost 60 pounds since the pandemic while following a strict diet.

“I do a little cooking, I exercise. Funny enough, more during this time as well, I’m sticking to the diet,” he said, according to Extra.

The “American Idol” alum is often seen cycling and has incorporated walking into his fitness routine.

However, Cowell admitted that he sometimes chose not to eat when he went out to dinner.

“I’m not a big eater,” he said, according to The Sun. “I don’t really like it. I’d rather drink a beer than eat, any day of the week.”

“Sometimes when we go out to dinner because I know I’m going to hate the food, I have baked beans on toast before I go and then I don’t eat anything.”

“I used to take three months, lose 60 or 70 pounds, then reward myself with a six-pack or whatever and just go back to my old ways,” he explained in 2017, according to ABC.

“This time I wanted to do it slowly. Move, exercise. I’m getting to the age where I can’t afford to sit still.

The 64-year-old actor is proud to have dropped a few trouser sizes and no longer suffer from type 2 diabetes.

Carey spoke candidly about her diet and fitness routine.

“No carbs,” Carey said. “I cheated several times, but basically no carbs, not even a cracker.”

He continued to say that his workouts consisted of at least 45 minutes of cardio.

“I like being skinny,” Carey said, according to the outlet. “I was tired of being fat in front of the camera. Really, I just got sick of it. Once I started losing weight, again like once I started losing a few pant sizes, so it was easy because once you see the results, then you don’t don’t want to stop.”

Kevin Smith

‘Clerks’ director Kevin Smith was almost unrecognizable after his extreme weight loss.

In 2018, after suffering a near-fatal heart attack, the filmmaker revealed he had lost 20 pounds in 13 days.
