Josh Gad loses 30 pounds with new diet

Josh Gad has shed more than 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms) after overhauling his eating habits.

The Love & Other Drugs star, 32, showed off a slimmer new figure last week (09Aug13) as he attended the Los Angeles premiere of his new Steve Jobs biopic, Jobs, and he reveals the weightloss is all thanks to his revised diet.

He tells People.com he now eats seven egg whites with avocado and a grapefruit for breakfast, while lunch will consist of a turkey salad with non-fat dressing and dinner is typically fresh salmon and vegetables.

Gad has eliminated his penchant for snacking in between mealtimes by drinking protein shakes and eating almonds, and admits he's gone "from about 18 meals a day to about five".

Joking about his svelte new look, he says, "It's amazing what it's done to my love life. My wife actually loves me again!"
