“And he told me what to eat to change my habits and stuff.”
His weight has fluctuated over the years, especially when he packed on pounds for a movie role.
“I wanted to get in better shape, so I called Channing Tatum and said, ‘Hey, if I ate less and go to a trainer, will I get in better shape?'” He said during an appearance on The Tonight Show in 2016.
“[He said] ‘Yes, you dumb [expletive], of course you will.’ It’s the simplest thing in the entire world.”
Jennifer Hudson
Thanks to Weight Watchers (now known as WW), the singer shed 80 pounds in 2010, bringing her from a size 16 to a size 6!

Her stint on Dancing With the Stars is what truly helped her change her eating habits.
“[My partner, Louis van Amstel] made me eat turkey burgers and salads and explained to me that a high-protein, low-carb diet would keep me energized,” she told Shape magazine.
“Then I started losing weight and realized, ‘Oh, it’s true what they say: Diet and exercise really work!'”
Adele
Becoming a mom and preparing for a tour became the motivation this “Hello” singer needed to slim down in 2017.
Her goal was “to get in shape for myself, but not to be a size zero or anything like that.”
She got there by mainly cutting down on sugar and hitting the gym whether she felt like it or not.
