American comedian and actor Drew Allison Carey is known for being one of the most sought-after stand-up comedians in the early 90s. He started standup after his service in the United States Marine Corps. It was in his show, The Drew Carey Show, that he skyrocketed to stardom. Eventually, he became the host of the U.S. version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?. Even though his weight was a frequent topic in his improv and sitcom shows, he started dieting and exercising, which resulted in him losing 80 pounds. He stuck to a diet containing high protein veggies and fruits, and did cardio six times a week.
He claimed that he found a way to cure his Type 2 diabetes during this time, and that he didn’t need to intake medication anymore. To his credit, he dropped from 262 pounds at the start of the year to 170 pounds and shrunk from a size 44 to a size 34.
