The actor began his weight loss journey in the year 2007. He experienced an immense struggle during the same. As the actor was an alcoholic addict, he acknowledged the fact, that to lose weight he had to stop alcohol.
In an interview with Sunday Today in 2018, the actor spoke about his struggle to leave alcohol. He said, “My speech would be slurred; I thought I was fooling people. My cheeks would turn bright red when I was liquored up. I just looked like a stop sign. I had to go accept an Emmy award. So, I missed the rehearsal because I was drunk. And then by the time Sunday morning rolled around I was shaking; I was still drinking, but I was still shaking.”
Preceding this particular incident, the actor decided that he needed professional help and treatment: “I had the clarity of thought that I needed to be hospitalized. I called my wife, which was like turning myself into the Gestapo. And she made some phone calls; we got me into a treatment center, and I detoxed there and decided I liked the feeling. And it’s been 10 years.”
John Goodman’s Testimony
In his entire journey, John spoke about the Mediterranean diet being of great help. He added that leaving alcohol had also helped in the process. “It was basically just portion control and ‘I don’t need it.’ I was just shoving everything into my mouth. But I don’t want to be an example to anybody when the weight comes thundering back on — when I start eating Crisco out of the can with a spoon and a side of confectioner’s sugar.”- John Goodman.
