Josh Gad, Who Advocates for a Holistic Approach to Wellness, Lost Almost 30 Pounds!
Throughout his career, Josh Gad has always been candid about his struggles with weight and image.
Through several means, the artist seems to start shedding light on the complexities of his journey.
Mostly, people have Gad’s image as a ‘chubby side character’ in the entertainment industry, which he has overshadowed for years.
In 2012, he underwent a significant transformation for his role as Steve Wozniak in Jobs, losing almost 30 pounds.
The actor went through a strict diet and exercise schedule for the transformation, working with several nutritionists.
Josh eventually went from 18 meals daily to five, focusing on body-building diets, causing heavy changes.
However, after the film’s release, he returned to his previous size, increasing his struggles with weight loss.
The superstar actor also has openly discussed his problems related to food addiction. It is pretty evident from his 18-meal-a-day revelation.
While people from his field are cautious about their shape, it seems to be uncontrollable in the case of Gad.
Through In Gad We Trust, Josh Gad advocates for a holistic mental and physical health approach.
Moreover, he had a medical emergency in October 2023, which set him off on Gutenberg! The Musical!
The reason isn’t well explored, but the medical emergency caught the fan’s attention because of his declining health status.
