Shaquille O’Neal – 40 pounds – Diet and Exercise

Sometimes the push one needs to value themselves comes from a sad place. Shaquille O’Neal experienced several devastating losses in 2020 that jolted him into actively seeking fitness to lead a healthy life. After following a simple mantra of eating nutritious food and exercising regularly, the former basketball champ lost an astonishing 40 pounds in a few months.

When on the court, Shaquille believes he plays better when heavy, so he put on weight by building muscles instead of fat but let go of himself in the years following his retirement. We are glad he found the motivation to lose weight the proper way.
