John Daly – 67 lb.
In the realm of golf, John Daly is well-known. But, at some time, the famous PGA Tour golfer was informed that he needed to drop weight if he wanted to stay in the game. According to Men’s Journal, he embarked on one of the most ridiculous diets on this list, eating only popcorn and beer. But, contrary to popular belief, it worked for Daly, who lost 67 pounds in just two and a half months! Prior to this, he had lap band surgery to help him lose weight. Daly participated in the 2021 PGA Championship, which was hosted at Kiawah Island’s renowned Ocean Course.
Bruce Vilanch – 100 lb.
Most people remember Bruce Vilanch as the head writer of the ’90s game show “Hollywood Squares,” but he also developed bad eating habits while working on the “Hairspray” musical in the early 2000s. In 2005, he joined the “Celebrity Fit Club” and shed 21 pounds. Vilanch, on the other hand, regained it all, owing primarily to his need to ingest softer meals like pasta due to a tooth ailment. It’s a good thing the two-time Emmy Award winner could afford lap band surgery, because he ended up losing nearly 100 pounds. His most recent on-screen performance as an actor was in the 2019 TV drama “Child of the ’70s.”
