days. The 44-year-old actor spoke withabout his weight loss journey and what he’s learned about himself along the way. Though the road was tough, Suplee managed to make it this far with his trademark good-natured charm.When he was only 24-years-old, Ethan Suplee weighed over 500 pounds. For years, he tried dieting on and off to manage his weight, but fell into a pattern of losing weight only to gain it all back.
All that changed in the last few years, however, when Suplee made the decision to focus less on his diet and concentrate more on a fitness regimen that worked for him.His exercise program focused on strength training and he developed an eating plan that encouraged eating healthy foods without demonizing any one food group. Now he’s reached his goal of having less than 10 percent body fat, but he’s still trying to adjust to maintaining his weight rather than losing more.
