Drew Carey: Low Carb Celebrity Sex Symbol

Congrats to Drew
Last time I really focussed on my low carb eating style, I went from a 36 to a 32" waist in 3 months with no exercise, I had a trapped nerve in my leg.
The usual doubters are here, low carb is not just living on meat. It involves eating loads of vegtables, plenty of protein, perhaps the odd glass of wine and fruit as a balanced part of your carb count.
Low fat/ low sugar foods are just chemical soups. The choice is yours, eat real food and lower your carb count or stay a prisoner of the grain and sugar companies.

Great achievement, Drew! Thanks for the inspiration.

Tons of congratulations to Mr. Carey for his success! He obviously made tons of changes to his diet, and his discipline came through for him. 80 pounds in 7 months is truly awesome!

Wow, some very strong opinions here, and all have good and valid points. Perhaps it would be better if everyone used, "Primal", "Paleo" and "Low Ketogenic" eating. But here's the catch; everyday people who aren't familiar with this way of eating or aren't in the nutritional field are not going to differentiate between "low carb" and "Primal", "Paleo" and "Low Ketogenic" phrases yet. I know I wasn't at first. I say, yet because it's slowly making the way onto the market and people are starting to catch on about eating gluten free and staying away from gut irritating foods and insulin spiking foods, etc... I have found that society as a whole will tune out and stop listening 2 minutes into talking about it because it is A LOT of information. The point is, to get the word out and people will come. Most people are visual and lazy. They want the short version and to them, "low carb" and a skinny guy/celebrity seems to stop them long enough to look, listen and ask questions for a second. As I look at what he eats, he eats primarily Paleo/Primal with dairy included. It's hard for people to change their way of eating if what they ate during their lifetime was gluten, grains, processed sugar and crap. As I see it, it didn't take them a short amount of time to get where they are today and it's definitely not going to take a short amount of time to change it all around completely. For me, I'm super excited that it's catching on and people are hopping on board. If everyone wants to categorize it as a "fad" diet then by means do it, just know that it works and those people will be walking billboards of success.

I don't know about being a "sex symbol" but he looks great and much happier. His lower carb version kinda reminds me of David Letterman. :)

I just wanted to say that it is terrible to be promoting the so called "low carb" diet. This can keep nutriant dense foods out of your diet. Just Eat Healthy! That is all that needs to be done. Use whole foods in your diet like unprocessed almonds, coconut oil, palm oil, fresh fruits and vegetables, coconut flour, almond flour, honey, organic butter, organic meats, lay low on wheat(processed or not)breads as these increase the harmful bacteria in you gut. Make sure you eat lots of real food!! No soybean oil, no canola oil, no sugar, no pre-packaged food! And then you can do all the cardio you want, you will look great and feel great-promise. Check out Elaine Gottschall B.A., M.Sc. for great info on eating better. She promotes health through the intestine and this really does work for everyone-whether you have problems or not.

Does anyone ever slap these effing people and point out that there is no such thing as "no carb" and that the body only digests carbs and fat!? I mean you talk to people about complete and incomplete amino acids and their eyes glaze over, this stuff is not complex.

That's insane! He's always been a larger guy but this change is incredible! Great for him!
