Penn Jillette – 100 Pounds

Famed magician Penn Jillette has lost 100 pounds, but he didn’t use magic to achieve it. The other half of Penn & Teller decided to lose weight after his doctors discovered a 90-percent blockage in his heart. With medical supervision, he started the “potato diet.” He only ate potatoes for two weeks. After that, he began adding vegetable stews and salads to his diet for some variety. In three months, he managed to lose 75 pounds without exercising, and he continues to do so.

Although his diet looked bland, it did help him to change his bad eating habits. With his health concern, Jillette surely needs insurance.  Penn has been on television since the early ’90s. With this fact, even your aunts and uncles may have seen his earlier work. Now, he’s branching out to other fields. Penn is currently hosting a regular podcast named “Penn’s Sunday School.” He has been working on this podcast for about eight years now.
