“I allowed myself 6 hours a day to eat”: Adam Sandler explains the intermittent fasting that helped him drop 24 pounds

The United States isn’t exactly known for easy access to healthy food, which leads much of American society to overindulge, including some celebrities like Adam Sandler.

The actor, best known for his comedies, has always remained focused on his Hollywood career, downplaying personal matters—until now.

At 58 years old, in an interview with People, he admitted that his daughters, Sadie and Sunny, have encouraged him to take better care of himself, to pay more attention to his health and physical condition.

Thanks to their support, he was able to lose a total of 24 pounds to participate in his Netflix project, Spaceman, as he acknowledged: “They always look out for me and my health just like I used to with my dad.”

Intermittent fasting, the key to his weight loss

But the support from his daughters wasn’t the only factor; he also had to give up certain things, following a diet that more and more people are adopting: the famous intermittent fasting.

He turned to this diet after an uncomfortable moment at a doctor’s appointment, where he noticed he had gained a significant amount of weight. This made him later recognize a slip into bad eating habits due to the anxiety he was experiencing.

In fact, in an earlier interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he didn’t hesitate to talk about this episode: “I stood at the doctor’s scale and you know how those are pretty accurate. It went pretty high and I was very sad with myself.”

So, he decided to follow an intermittent fasting diet, which has helped him currently lose 24 pounds and get back in shape: “I did the intermittent fasting. I allowed myself 6 hours a day to eat and just get so excited during those 6 hours that I ate a lot of pizzas. .”
