The famous American actor says that he fasted for more than 40 days to lose weight

The famous American actor and comedian, Kevin James, had fasted for more than 40 days, thus losing 27 kilograms. 

But, this is not the only case. He even had to lose weight for a role in a movie where he had to play a priest.

He had dropped to 104 kilograms, but after the filming ended his weight returned to the earlier stage of 127 kilograms.

The American actor was told that he had to shoot some extra scenes, so he realized that he had to lose weight again.

This led to a discussion about James' past habit of dieting.

"I can lose weight really fast, I can fast and lose it," he said. "Seriously, I can lose it fast... I can do it in a month. Less than a month."

James even explained how he once embarked on a long period of fasting, motivated in part by a desire to lose weight but also for religious reasons, revealing that he went "41 and a half days" without food, consuming only "water and a little salt" to replenish his electrolytes.

"I started fasting, I didn't think I would fast for 40 days, I just said 'I'll do what I can' ... I felt really good for a while, but there were moments when I felt like crap," James said.

"I lost, I think, about 27 kilos," he continued. "I wasn't even fed with vitamins, my body was completely cleansed." /Telegraph/
