#400: Hollywood Actor Ethan Suplee on Losing 295 Pounds, Avoiding The Guilt/Shame Binge Eating Cycle and Diet Mistakes To Avoid!

Ethan is a Hollywood actor and the host of American Glutton podcast.

 

Ethan has established himself over the past few decades as an actor of considerable talent and accomplishment. His diverse and eclectic resume ranges from hilarious roles in such comedies as Mallrats (1995) and My Name Is Earl (2005) to hauntingly dramatic performances in intense features such as American History X (1998), Blow (2001), Cold Mountain (2003), The Wolf Of Wall Street (2013) and Deepwater Horizon (2016). 

His breakthrough performance as a young football player in Disney's Remember the Titans (2000) with Denzel Washington garnered him critical acclaim.

He also has one of the most incredible physical transformations I’ve ever seen going from 550 pounds to 255 pounds, all of which we unpacked in today’s podcast.  

 

As someone who is a big fan of Ethan’s work (on and off screen) - this was one of my most enjoyable podcast episodes I’ve recorded. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.  

 

Here are some of the things we talked about on today’s podcast. 

•     Being forced to diet as a kid and how it affected his food relationship 
•     Getting over the guilt and shame cycle that came with failing diets
•     Removing your ‘failures’ from diet and not self-identifying with it
•     How some of his movie and TV roles helps to temporarily alleviate some of his self-imposed weight loss pressure 
•     The role physical activity played in his body transformation 
•     And much more.
