Khloe Kardashian’s weight loss journey began in 2013, after her marriage with NBA player, Lamar Odom, ended. Khloe began following a strict diet plan, which includes eliminating dairy, and workout regimen. She wakes up at 5am everyday to workout and doesn’t eat until 8am. She sometimes works out with sister Kim and celebrity trainer Don Brooks. Khloe had always been labeled as the “fat Kardashian,” however, she proved the public wrong, and she now looks amazing after a 40 pound weight loss.
In December 2015, Kim gave birth to her second child, Saint. She was, once again, determined to lose the weight she gained during her pregnancy.

Kim also did the Atkins program after the birth of her first child, North. She lost a total of 70 pounds and weighs less than her pre-baby weight.

O’Donnell, who once weighed 237 pounds, she now estimates she’s lost over 60 pounds since her surgery.
Tom Hanks understands the concept of gaining and losing weight for movie roles. Hanks previously put on 30 pounds to play a baseball coach in the 1992 film “A League of Their Own.” In 2000, he lost 50 pounds to play a man stranded on a desert island in “Castaway.” He was on a very strict diet of only water, vegetables, very little carbs, and fish. His exercise regimen included all types of cardio for 2 hours per day, 6 days per week. However, in 2013, he revealed he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and will no longer be taking roles that will require him to gain or lose weight.
