Although this mega Hollywood actor has had his fair share of weight fluctuations throughout the years, Jonah Hill has recently been spotted looking fitter — and thinner — than ever. Hill, who has considered himself to be a victim of “yo-yo dieting”, reportedly sought help from his 21 Jump Street co-star Channing Tatum. Tatum apparently pointed him the right direction and helped him find a team of nutritionalists and personal trainers so Hill could finally lose the weight in a healthy manner. After dropping at least 50 pounds, Hill is Hollywood’s newest fitness inspiration.
Check out some of these celebrity workouts and fitness tips to shed the pounds off just like Jonah Hill!
1. Alcohol hurts: Before his weight loss journey began, Jonah Hill was no stranger to binge drinking, beer being his favorite beverage of all. After meeting with a nutritionalist and attempting to find a way to drink beer and still lose weight, he ultimately saw the effects it was having on his body. “It’s so annoying because if I don’t drink beer, I get really, really thin. Then when I drink beer, I get a little bigger,” Hill says. The lesson here? Either learn to indulge in alcohol every now and then, or ditch the empty calories altogether.
2. Say goodbye to those nasty cigarettes: As if anyone needed anymore reasons to dislike cigarettes, here’s another one: you can gain anywhere from five to ten pounds from quitting. People tend to substitute food with the lack of nicotine they’re receiving, but you’re better off altogether by quitting, despite the reported weight gain. Treat your body with respect and finally say goodbye to any remaining packs you may have.

3. End the battle with yo-yo dieting: Hill himself has expressed his frustration with yo-yo dieting — otherwise known as losing weight quickly and then gaining it all back. A recent study in the International Journal of Obesity reported that yo-yo dieting can serve some severe damage to your cardiovascular system, along with potentially increasing your risk of diabetes and heart disease.
4. Plan your grocery trips:Â Food shopping can tend to be an intimidating activity when you’re trying to lose weight, but here’s a way to help make the process a little bit easier. Make a list of items that you need (and be sure to stick to it!), and go food shopping after you’ve eaten a healthy breakfast. This way, you aren’t particularly hungry while shopping, which should prevent you from stocking up on unnecessary snacks.

5. Chew:Â While this tip may sound a little ridiculous, trust us when we say it’s not! Try your best to chew each bite at least 40 times when eating a meal. In a recent study, it was found that people that chewed their food more than twelve times ate less than those that didn’t. It’s even believed that chewing longer can lead to a more satisfied feeling.
