JORGE GARCIA – LOST 30 POUNDS
While Jorge Garcia’s first foray into Hollywood was with the TV show Becker, it was his character, Hurley Reyes, in Lost that made him famous. He is a stand-up comedian and has appeared on Alcatraz, Once Upon a Time, and The Ridiculous 6. After obtaining his diploma in Communication Studies from UCLA, he also studied for credits at the Beverly Hills Playhouse acting school, where he first tested his skills.
Being overweight in Hollywood is always an issue, and Garcia is no exception from this. So, he made sure he did his best by hiring coaches, following a strict low-carb diet, and giving up all forms of alcohol. He lost 30 pounds in the process. Not satisfied, the actor also adopted a vegan diet later on to sustain his weight loss journey. He even makes jokes about his diet, hoping he could inspire others, too.
