Introduction to Craig Robinson’s Weight Loss Journey<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re seeing a lot less of Craig Robinson these days, and that\u2019s fine by him. Robinson, who played Darryl on \u201cThe Office,\u201d and who now stars as part of a rotating cast in the Broadway comedy \u201cAll Out,\u201d has lost weight and worked on improving his health in recent years.<\/p>\n

The Revelation of His New Look<\/h2>\n

Robinson stopped by "TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle" on Jan. 22, during which Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones marveled at his appearance. \u201cFirst things first, you look absolutely amazing. You look great,\u201d Sheinelle said. She then noted that he has been on a \u201chealth journey\u201d and asked what he\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

The ‘Cheat Code’ to Weight Loss<\/h2>\n

\u201cWorking out, intermittent fasting. It\u2019s like the cheat code,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I stopped drinking alcohol.\u201d When Sheinelle asked if he\u2019s given up drinking \u201cforever and ever,\u201d Robinson wouldn\u2019t commit. \u201cWe\u2019ll see what happens,\u201d he said, before adding he hasn\u2019t had a drink in two and a half years.
\n\u201cThat\u2019s incredible,\u201d Jenna said.<\/p>\n

The Turning Point<\/h2>\n

Robinson noted one moment that led to his new focus on his health. \u201cThe scale,\u201d he said, drawing laughs. \u201cI went to the doctor. I didn\u2019t weigh myself a lot. And, so, you know, I figured I was at a certain weight, and I was, like, 30-something pounds over that \u2026 After the shock and depression, I said, \u2018Let me get to it.\u2019\u201d \u201cWell, you look good,\u201d Sheinelle said.<\/p>\n

Commitment to Health<\/h2>\n

In the years since this revelation, Robinson has stuck to his health commitment. \u201cI lost a bunch of weight, I lost about 50 pounds,\u201d he told Harry Connick Jr. on his talk show in 2017, according to People. \u201cI haven\u2019t been drinking,\u201d he continued. \u201cSince January, I just put down the alcohol, I was going to detox. I had heard, I don\u2019t know how true it is, but I heard you can regenerate your liver in six months. I was like, ‘let me see if I can go six months,’ and I just haven\u2019t gone back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lifestyle Changes<\/h2>\n

Robinson said he made other lifestyle changes, too. \u201c(I\u2019m) working out and I\u2019ve been trying this vegan lifestyle too. It\u2019s amazing,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are so many great vegan restaurants and dishes. It\u2019s much easier than I thought it would be.\u201d<\/p>\n
