Kevin Smith is Tired of Being Fat

Films like Clerks, Clerks II, Dogma, and Mallrats have always been among my favorites, but director Kevin Smith is doing something new to gain my attention. He's trying to drop some fat, prompted by an embarrassing experience breaking a porcelain toilet bowl.




Smith isn't the first Hollywood heavyweight director to get fit. Iron Man's Jon Favreau has had his ups and downs over the years, and Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson made a noticeable change after dropping a bunch of weight during the filming of King Kong.






Smith has said that he's at an all-time personal high bodyweight, and will begin a diet and exercise plan once the promotion is finished for his recent film. In the past he's tried the Optifast diet, a 12-week all-liquid diet, with minimal success.

If he's even considering an attempt at that type of diet again, he'd be much better off following the Velocity Diet, which actually preserves lean muscle, which further increases the metabolism. I know he has a decent home gym, too, so the workouts better be kickass.


And yeah, I kinda compared Kevin Smith to Peter Jackson. Sorry, sir.
