Penn Jillette, a renowned magician, has dropped 105 pounds that is one-third of his body weight in just 4 months.

Jillette, in December 2014, had a major wakeup call when he was taken to the hospital due to high blood pressure. Since then he decided to reduce his weight for long term health benefits. Over the months, Jillette has been revamping his entire lifestyle and diet.

Jillette would have easily said 'Abracadabra' and let his medication improve his blood pressure, but the Wizard Wars judge took his doctor's advice to heart.

On April 8, Jillette revealed that his doctor has told him to get his weight down, and that it would be a little easier to control if he brought his weight down by 30 or 40 lbs.

Penn added that his doctor further told him something in passing that completely blew his mind. Penn mentioned that the doctor told him that if he gets down to 230, he probably wouldn't need any of the meds.

Keeping in mind the doctor's words, the entertainer went on an extreme low-calorie diet. He started eating only around 1,000 calories a day and subsequently, he lost about one pound per day.

Penn said, "I eat unbelievable amounts of food but just very, very, very healthy food". According to People, Penn followed Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritarian diet, which does not include animal products, processed grains, added sugar or salt.

Penn added that he was allowed to have a steak or a doughnut every couple of weeks, but he never felt like having it.

Penn said he shares a wonderful relationship with his children, and always spend ample of time with them. He mentioned that his children now know it well that he has become a lot more energetic.
