Christopher Schwarzenegger had “tried everything” to lose weight but after losing 30 lbs, he can now reveal the secret to his success
Christopher Schwarzenegger had “tried everything” to lose weight.
The son of Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger and his ex-wife Maria Shriver has managed to shed 30 pounds in recent times, and even though it took a lot of “trial and error”, he knew he had to do it after his previous size stopped him from partaking in a skiing vacation.
He told US TV show ‘Extra’: “I tried everything. I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school.
“It’s not an overnight thing, but it took a lot of trial and error. And even still to this day… when you’re saying, oh, before-and-after photos… I don’t feel like I’m an after yet. I don’t feel like I’m at the point.
“I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal], like, ‘Oh, I’m going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,’ and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities.
“I was like, ‘I want to go skydiving.’ And my friends were like, ‘Yeah, no shot.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I can’t skydive’.
Christopher – who works as the Director of Development at Indus Valley Media whilst his brother Patrick stars in ‘White Lotus’ and his sister Katherine is married to Hollywood actor Chris Pratt – added that giving up the staple food of bread is what spurred him on for success in the end.
He added: “Weirdly enough, I gave up bread for Lent. I don’t know if anyone’s Catholic in here, but I gave up bread for Lent.
“I was like, ‘Well, if I’m giving up bread, I might as well just take the opportunity and I’m a good Catholic boy, so I’m not going to break it,’
“And that was my one rule. I was like, ‘I’m not going to break Lent.’ And so I lost 30 lbs. just through that.”
