After ending up in the hospital last year, comedian and magician Penn Jillette realized he had to make drastic changes in his lifestyle, and went on a hardcore diet that helped him lose 100 lbs and ten pant sizes since December. He told People magazine in an interview recently that doctors had put him on heavy duty meds to control his blood pressure, but told him that if he could lose the weight, he most likely wouldn’t need any of them.

Jillette is off the calorie restrictions now, but says he’s sticking with no animal products, no processed grains, and no added sugar or salt.  What’s left? Salads with vinegar are a common lunch with something like a vegetable stew for dinner, with whole grains like black or brown rice, and fruit.  There’s workouts too which he told People includes juggling and tricycle riding.

Check out Penn’s new look in this video tour of his house recorded during his People Mag interview.
