Is there a reason why he did this or how he did this?

Lost weight like he lost money on his crypto contract.

Wild transformation though, will be great for him long term.

Can’t afford to eat.   Kidding…. Good for him.

Good for him. Seems like most of these guys really slim down or really let themselves go after they retire.

[kass]

That's impressive

It seems OL in particular slim down like crazy after retirement. Didn’t Gross drop like 100 pounds in a few months?

This reminds me so much of the Gross transformation and really shows the work that these guys are having to do just to physically keep up in the league.

Yeah Jordan Gross did the same.  It's amazing how much of that weight they play with is excessive.  That's crazy how the weight he and a lot of these linemen. Drop to after retirement is their natural walk-around weight.

Just thought and posted the same.  That is a ton of maintenance and calories.

Depends when he sold, or if he sold. If he never sold his crypto, then oof.

Big men and weight do not hold up well/long. Lots of olineman do this. They eat an incredible amount of food to stay their size and sustain high levels of activity. Also the wear and tear these big men bare is enormous. This is really the only way to try and combat the inevitable outcome of early onset of chronic pain, and if he is lucky, that will be all.

As far as how well as much a people and media would like to make it as complicated as possible with fads and what it’s simply eating a deficit in calories for a long period of time and then maintenance. The key is to learn balance in the name of longevity. That is why certain fads and fasting simply don’t hold up.
 

You’re not changing a diet, you’re changing a lifestyle and not excluding anything - but rather understanding your body, nutrition, and most importantly, moderation.
