'WHY I LOST WEIGHT' - ACTOR RICHARD MOFE DAMIJO OPENS UP

In a recent interview with Sun Newspaper, celebrity actor Richard Mofe Damijo rumored to have been down with a terminal illness opened up about his current weight loss.
Check out what he cited as the reason for his weight loss below

I woke up one morning, to be precise May 9th last year and I weighed  120kg. I said this cannot go on. Neither of my parents crossed 60kg. I thought it would be sinful for me to keep eating and putting on weight and living an unhealthy life. I decided to just change my lifestyle. I didn’t diet, what I’m doing now is not dieting.
 I hate to use the word diet because when you say you are  dieting you have to stop at one point. What I did was  to change my lifestyle.

What I did was  to get somebody who knows about food. A lot of people don’t succeed when they diet because they don’t understand food. They diet, they drink a lot of shakes, tablets and all of that  and after a month they become bigger  than they were. What I did was very simple. It’s all about knowing the kind of food you eat and what it contains. I have a daughter (Onome) from my late wife, who is obsessed with calories,  weight gain and weight loss. She was with me all through  Christmas and New Year. She’s 26.  I love what I do now; I just eat well and exercise.

I feel lighter, but there are lots of people who feel I am too slim now. It’s about how I feel inside. I’m at my best physically. I have never felt better. I feel lighter, I don’t suffer indigestion. Now I weigh about 97kilos. All my clothes are gone.  You know they say “vanity upon vanity all is vanity.” This morning, I gave a guy about eight pairs of traditional clothes.
