We all want to look our best, especially if our job requires us to face the camera every day – much like Jimmy Kimmel. With such a hectic schedule under his belt, it’s a wonder how he still has time to embark on a fitness journey and successfully lose 25 pounds to boot!

Matthew McConaughey - Lost 50 Pounds
Actor Matthew McConaughey was never really a big man. However, sometimes actors need to look a certain way to play a particular role in a movie. So when Matthew had to perform as a severely unwell and emaciated patient in the film 'Dallas Buyers Club,' he got to work and lost several pounds.
Still, the performer didn't lose weight the typical way. All he did was feed on small amounts of veggies, fish, egg whites, and tapioca pudding for five months, and that was enough to do the trick. Also, Matthew didn't exercise in those few months, which helped him lose substantial muscle mass. If you've seen the movie, you'll know Matthew did a genuinely tremendous job.
John Daly - Lost 67 Pounds
Famous golfer, John Daly, has always been an extraordinary man who sometimes does the strangest things. When he wanted to play college golf, John got advised to lose some pounds. While that was a good idea, the young man didn't take the most medically sound approach - even though it worked.
In almost three months, the sportsman had lost 67 pounds, and all he did was stick to a diet of alcohol and popcorn. Strange, right? Moreover, John even took on smoking so that he wouldn't get hungry all the time. This technique might have worked for the athlete, but we hope anyone who wants to lose weight tries a safer and healthier method.
