Penn Jillette – Diet


Magician, television presenter, and actor, Penn Jillette, who is popular for his stage work with partner and fellow magician Raymond Teller, was apparently able to lose 100 pounds by following the “potato diet.” Now we can count excess poundage as among the many things he’s made disappear onstage. He said he ate plain potatoes for 2 whole weeks, and added various vegetable stews in the days after, all of which contributed greatly to his weight loss.

He also abandoned sugary products, meat, and carbohydrate and ate mighty vegetables instead. The results weren’t quick, but it was intense, as evidence by his nice frame. According to Jillette, he was able to lose 75 pounds in just three months, without even exercising. Nutritionists warn, however, that Jillette’s diet isn’t for everyone, and that it can, to some degree, pose health risks on others. It is always best to seek medical consultation before diving into a risky type of weight loss journey. Good thing the actor did not encounter side effects due to the diet he underwent.
