Drew Carey Drops 80 Pounds

Comedian and The Price is Right host Drew Carey has his trademarks. One is the black-rimmed glasses. The other is his “everyman” rotund shape. While the glasses remain, Carey has lost the weight. And while you may expect a clever quip as to his motivation, it was really simple:

“I just got sick of being fat,” Carey told Us magazine.

In May, the National Enquirer reported that Carey, 52, was not only dieting and working out, but was using a “custom-made appetite suppressant administered by a Hollywood nutritionist.”

But Carey says “There’s nobody really standing over me. I do work with somebody who gives me advice on what to do, how many minutes to run, what my heart rate should be and all that kind of stuff.”

Since starting his weight loss efforts, Carey has reportedly dropped 80 pounds. He says that he’s no longer diabetic and “couldn’t feel better.”

“My fiancee has a five-year old, and wow, I’d love to see him graduate. I’d love to be able play with him without getting tired, enjoy my life and watch him grow.”

The only strict diet rule Carey says he follows is that he no longer eats donuts. Here’s a little more of what he did to achieve such a dramatic weight loss:

“No carbs,” Carey says. “I have cheated a couple times, but basically no carbs, not even a cracker. No bread at all. No pizza, nothing. No corn, no beans, no starches of any kind. Egg whites in the morning or like, Greek yogurt, cut some fruit.”
