How and Why did Dan Fogler Lose Weight?

Well, we’ve already stated before Dan Fogler lost weight because he was afraid of dying, afraid of not being able to see his kids growing up. On an Instagram post of November 2019, the actor revealed why and how he lost all that weight.

When he turned 40, his metabolism started diminishing, and so, he had to face problems related to digestion; he couldn’t digest sugars and cheese as he could during his early days. If he kept at it, he would’ve suffered from several diseases with the most common being, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Thus, he had to change his lifestyle to remain healthy.

His weight loss was for the sake of his family, which consisted of his wife, Jodie Capes, and two daughters. All he wanted was to be with his kids when they grow up. He wanted to set an example for his kids, and that’s what he did. He started shedding weight, and now, he’s 100 lbs lighter. But, what was his secret; how did he lose weight?
