So over time I put weight back on and every year I’d go in for my physical, and my doctor, she’d be like, you have got to work on that.” In May of 2023, Josh said he felt pressured from his doctor to start making some changes, and he also did not like the way he looked on TV. “I didn’t like the way I looked. I didn’t like the way I felt. So I just decided to go ahead and do it. This wasn’t any particular diet, it was essentially just cutting out all of the things that we all sort of intuitively know that we’re not supposed to eat,” he shared. He now eats more greens, more protein, and cut out some carbs like bread, potatoes, pasta, sweets like dessert, and junk foods. He opted not to go on Ozempic, sharing, “Giving myself a shot every week did not seem like something that I wanted to do. And the idea of actually changing the way I ate seemed like a better idea. I’m glad that I was able to do it just on willpower. But sometimes people need help and there’s nothing wrong with that too.” “Now, I’ve pretty much permanently changed the way I eat because I’ve managed to adjust to this pretty well in terms of not craving any of that stuff that I used to love so much,” he added.
