Shaq weight loss: NBA Hall of Famer and one of the most dominating players, Shaq, shared his journey of losing a gigantic 40 pounds at the age of 50.

He was talking about his new virtual reality show for New Year’s Eve called ‘The Shaq-tacular Spectacular’ with ET’s Nischelle Turner. Shaq was looking thin as if he has been working out a lot. Nischelle popped up the easy question of how Shaq lost weight.

Shaq answered with utmost honesty on his face, “I lost 40 pounds, I need to lose about 20 more, but impressive. Imma get real chiseled up and do an underwear ad with my sons.” Shaq desires to lose 20 pounds more before his 51^st birthday on March 6^th, 2023. “Shirt off. Chiseled,” he promised.

Upon further questioning, he shared, “I got a couple people involved — It’s all about eating right. Got some blood work done, a friend of mine called me and said, ‘You’re fat,’ and she gave me this guy’s name, and he did some blood work, and you know, ’cause I was the athlete — I wasn’t a salad eater. I won’t pay attention to any of that. I don’t care about none of that,”

Shaq weight loss: He shared that he did not know the difference between a carb and a protein

The 5-time NBA Champion addressed how he was not aware of the differentiation between a carb and a protein, “At 50 years old I never knew. So, he was saying you can’t do this, you can’t do that, more vegetables, my iron’s low. And once I just started changing those certain things, it dropped.”

He further illustrated that he needs to be more focused on the diet in 2023, “Plus the supplements I’m taking. The shakes I’m drinking, the weight just fell off. I’m not at 100 percent ninja mode yet. I’m still 75 percent.”

Shaq even eliminated his two favourite things, Bread and Soda. “Then you gotta eliminate something that you love. Eliminate it. Haven’t had soda for a while. I gotta eliminate bread and soda, so, if I could eliminate bread or soda, I think I could get the Marky Wahlberg look. I want to be known as the Black Mark Wahlberg.”
