How did Jamal Mixon lose weight?
Food addicts understand the agony of resisting their favorite foods. And losing weight is like a battle against temptation.
Regardless of their temptation to eat such foods, some people have reached their milestone, and Jamal Mixon is one of them.
The 41-year-old Jamal (born June 17, 1983), best known as Ernie Klump Jr. from The Nutty Professor, managed to shed over 150 pounds, which inspired many.
Once a big-bodied actor had to change his lifestyle as his weight has been a cause of concern for his health.
So, how did he transform from a fat guy to an overweight one? And what kind of diet does he have to stick to? Let’s take a look at how it all went down.
Jamal has struggled with his weight his whole life. Not just in adult life but also as a child.
Not just his personal life, but his weight also affected his professional life. Despite desiring flexible roles, he was offered a role with only fat-guy parts.

Aside from his professional problems, Mixon’s obesity was a major health issue. He was almost 200 kg (437 lbs.), and he understood his obesity might pose a severe threat to his health. Even a 40-pound weight gain might give him a heart attack.
To maintain his health, Mixon had to adjust his lifestyle. From junk food to a gym diet, from chips to bland food, he had to avoid any food that could increase his body weight. Apart from eating only protein, he had to avoid high-carb foods, sugar, and alcohol.
Jamal hit the gym after maintaining his rigorous eating regimen. While he never shared what nutritional supplement he chose to achieve his goal, losing weight from a massive 437 lbs. surely took a toll on his body.

After months of hard labor sweating off his body, Jamal was able to lose 150 lbs.
In the talk shows and interviews, Mixon is seen talking about his year-long fatigue battle.
With his new body, Jamal has finally silenced doubters and disproved critics.
Jamal’s weight-loss transformation is not something that can be achieved in a day or so. But his struggle and milestones are highly motivating for overweight people.
If he can, you can too, if you are willing to put in the effort.
First, in your daily routine, start walking or jogging.
Next, try to alter your way of life. Stopping the consumption of unhealthy foods might be a little hard, but stay focused on your target, just like Jamal did.
If you are into drinking, try substituting a glass of water for alcoholic shots.
Your effort to lose weight takes time, so you must be consistent and patient. Take it as a marathon, not a short-distance walk.
Jamal’s transformation does teach us how to overcome what is thought impossible.
