Shark Tanks Kevin OLeary on how he lost weight: ‘Now Im never hungry’ – Yahoo Finance

Shark Tank investor Kevin OLeary may be bulking up his portfolio with cryptocurrency these days, but he is slimming down his weight.

The 510 millionaire businessman is currently 164 pounds, after dropping 20 pounds late last year. OLeary tells Yahoo Finance Live he was incentivized to shed those pandemic pounds after his annual medical checkup revealed he had high blood pressure.

My doctor said youve got to lose 20 pounds, your blood pressure is way up. Its been going up every year because youve been gaining weight, said O'Leary, chairman of O'Shares Investment. "That happens to a lot of people, over time, you become more sedentary and put on pounds."

At his doctors recommendation, the 67-year-old began intermittent fasting, and he says the pounds started melting off.

I fast for 16 hours everyday so basically, I dont eat breakfast, OLeary said. I have my meal at 7 or 8 at night, maybe a little later, and then I dont eat again until around 1 in the afternoon the next day. It was hell for the first 3 weeks, and now Im never hungry, he said. Its a remarkable thing what your body can do if you get used to it.

A passionate wine drinker and investor, OLeary has even cut back on drinking alcohol, despite owning the the award-winning wine label, OLeary Fine Wines. He admits reducing his wine intake hasnt been easy but says it quickly eliminates a few hundred daily calories from his diet. On average, there are 200 calories in an 8-ounce glass of red wine.

OLeary also says he makes an effort to eat right, which means plenty of salads and fresh fish and makes time for physical activity every day even if that just means going for a walk.
