Jonah Hill

Jonah Hill rose to prominence as a supporting actor in films such as Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, where his stock characters relied on his weight as well as his comic delivery to get by. Hill rose to fame after his first starring role in Super Bad, a film that made fun of his weight and made it the punchline for a few jokes (both self-imposed and otherwise).

When he started to audition for more dramatic roles, the actor made it a point to lose a degree of weight. Hill, like most dieters, struggled with weight fluctuation at first — he lost weight for 21 Jump Street and then gained it back for War Dogs — but eventually got it right. It seems that fans saw a more motivated and fit Hill by the summer of 2017. Hill disclosed that a nutritionist and Japanese food worked for him, telling outlets, “I noticed that Japanese food was really beneficial to me.” He reportedly increased the amount of sushi in his diet. Sushi is a low-calorie food with plenty of omega-3 fatty acids that lead to a balanced metabolism (assuming you don’t order the fried, sauced rolls).
