How did John Goodman lose weight?

John Goodman began his weight loss journey when he decided to stop drinking alcohol. For a long time, drinking made it hard for him to stay healthy. In 2007, when he hit 400 pounds, he went to rehab and made a real effort to change. This helped him break the cycle of losing weight and then gaining it back.

Besides quitting alcohol, John took things slow and steady. He started moving more and changed what he ate. He followed a Mediterranean diet, which means eating more fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and olive oil. With the help of his coach, John made exercise fun by walking, boxing, and staying active every day. His weight loss journey was slow but steady.
