Initially, Osmond would skip meals and then eat quite a lot for dinner, but with the Nutrisystem, she eats up to six times a day, but she got in shape even better than before. According to her, it’s because her metabolism is more active. In 2021, she appeared in the movie “More Than I Wished For.”

Her transformation came as a result of a diet service that she subscribed to known as The Fresh Diet, enabling her to consume 1,600 calories daily in addition to eating meals based on their colors.

Lisa Riley (168 Pounds) – Diet Change & Cutting Out

The “Emmerdale” star Lisa Riley, who continues to act her role in 2022, has remarkably transformed from the woman feared to be dangerously obese to a much slimmer perfect-figured woman you may not even recognize. Her drastic body change resulted from her making some drastic changes to her lifestyle, which meant a complete alteration of her usual diet.

Seth Rogen (30 Pounds) – Diet & Exercise

You wouldn’t have noticed when Seth Rogen was putting on a few pounds, but movie directors did and told him that he needed to slim down a little for his role in “The Green Hornet.” So, in a bid to meet this expectation, he opted for a healthier eating habit in addition to regular exercise.

That was Rogen’s first eye-opener to watch his weight even though it’s been on and off for him. But recently, he lost a significant 30 pounds in just ten weeks following the same methods. In 2021, he showcased his new figure in an episode of the decade-long TV show “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

Zach Galifianakis (50 Pounds) – Quitting and Eating Healthy

Another celebrity who had a remarkable weight loss journey is Zach Galifianakis. His 50-pound drop in weight came from some simple steps—maybe not that simple—like cutting out and eating more healthy food. As someone with a career around comedy, his initial chubby looks may have fit the bill and made him look even funnier, but it wasn’t doing it for him health-wise.

Today, Galifianakis is a slimmer actor, although we don’t get to physically see him when he’s voice acting in animated comedy shows. He remains a part of the cast of “Bob’s Burgers,” which began the 12th season in 2021.

It hasn’t been an easy journey for the actor who struggled with weight because of his love for unhealthy food. However, he now keeps a meal journal for his Mediterranean-style curated meals and also developed an exercise routine involving 10,000 to 12,000 steps daily.

But weight crept up afterward, and she has taken to a low calorie and high protein meal plan to get back in shape. In June 2021, she released the expanded edition of her album “Loose.”
