Overheard: McConaughey's weight loss secretWith New Year's resolutions still hanging over us, Matthew McConaughey had a bit of timely advice when we caught up with him at the Critics Choice Awards in Los Angeles Thursday night. We started chatting about his weight loss for the upcoming "Dallas Buyers Club," and McConaughey explained that dropping nearly 40 pounds wasn't that tough. "It wasn't as difficult - once I made up my mind to do it - as people said or thought it would be," McConaughey said. "I got past being hungry. I think the secret [to losing weight] is don't take meetings as Pizza Hut. Don't put yourself under that temptation." That said, once he wrapped up his diet, he knew precisely the temptation to indulge in: a perfectly prepared cheeseburger.

These famous personalities have to keep their figures to ensure they are on the big screen and that they have designed their own individual celebrity workout routines.
Weight loss is a 31 day commitment. All the other times you tried to loose weight was just practice. Now you are ready for the real deal. Keep your word to yourself. Do this for you. Its your turn to loose the weight and keep it off for good. As crazy as it seems, just respect yourself enough to just say "no" to the foods that have held you down for so long. Take charge of this one thins "weight loss" and controll it. Dont let it control you.
I blog quite often and I really thank you for your content. This great article has truly peaked my interest. I will take a note of your blog and keep checking for new details about once per week. I opted in for your RSS feed too.
An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment. I do think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but usually folks don't talk about such subjects. To the next! Many thanks!!

A few million dollars as a paycheck might be the true reason is was so easy for him
do you understand what i am saying too you? peace is very important in life.
I lost 30 pounds with no gimmicks and without buying anything. I did several things but the one I think made the most difference is that I ate an entire head of lettuce every day. Just cut it and crunched it down. No dressing, olive oil or whatever. It seems to speed my system up. No need to spend money on diet food (it's not food!) or memberships or some sort of pill either made in a lab or from a tree that only lives in a country we can't pronounce.
I think most people gain weight from eating too many carbs. I noticed if I get up in the AM and eat a big chunk of watermelon I am not hungry for hours and hours but if I eat a croissant or some potatoes or pizza all I can think about is eating more of it. If I eat a quarter of a watermelon I am stuffed for a long time, but if i eat half a medium pizza I will be DYING to eat the rest of it.
i'm stil here.
Watermelon is nothing but carbs....
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The only tip here seems to be not to "take meetings at Pizza Hut."
hahahaha--business as usual...
Thanks for a very well written and informative post! Weight Loss Program
Having will power is the hardest part.
A Question of Balance
You can tell everyone on this site is a fat disgusting slob who can not do anything other than suck down doritos on the couch.
Pitiful. Matt looks just like a guy i saw that was holding up a sign saying "Looking for work". Hmmmmm. That guy had his shirt unbuttoned too! Hmmm.
I'm sure he knows exactly how to manipulate his body weight and conditioning...just spend some time with your old pal Lance Armstrong, right Matthew?
Great info! Thanks!
Now if someone could only teach him to use deodorant.
time to make the donuts
lesson #1:
be a bad actor and not make much money to spend on food.
well..thats the only lesson
pie in face–except for basement and attic purchases...harvard? what the f-c do we care?
The Dallas Buyer's Club – his new movie about an AIDS patient!!! That's why he lost all the weight
I like McConaughey's movies. He is a talented actor. With that being said – he looks terrible! I have to assume that the weight loss is for an upcoming role. There are too many actors that are losing weight when they didn't need to and now they don't look healhty. If McConaughey needed to lose a few pounds – okay, but not 40 pounds.
If only it mentioned anything like that in the article! That would be SO HELPFUL. I weep for the world.
failed.
He's really got AIDS. He and Lance Armstrong confessed in public to being an item at one time.
Somebody give that guy a chocolate malt & pizza!
that's our secret
That "secret" was not worth the "bytes" CNN used to write this so called story.
tomorrow for breakfast eggwhites, lunch yogurt and fruit, dinner chicken and salad....k?
It's not about the stars,weight loss product, what media says... Its about you how much you're motivated,how much you want the change! BELIEVE ON YOU!!

oh yea...munchie.
If this is how you look after loosing weight while under doctor's care...Fire the doctor!
Translation: Meth is a helluva drug
He looks scarey sick/thin. He looks like the aftermath of chemo and radiation treatments. Can't be good. Hope he can get back to healthy. Sometimes the body doesn't bounce back after it's been abused. looking at him now gives me flashbacks of the last days of Rock Hudson. So sad.
I've got a couple of stink nuggets I'd like to drop in Matthew's glove compartment.
how's your weight loss going
as quoted by cnn: i make him take a smoke so he's mellow with the kids
she keeps her husband stoned...fat pig
Check out the link below, when you do, you’ll see why these guys are considereded not just an additional “fat loss” program, but they’re on the cutting edge of exactly what many think about, me consisted of, to be a lifestyle motion that sets an entire new standard of long-lasting (FOREVER) fat loss.

school at 6 no dinner...starving at 10pm...no good the weight came up very fast.– i have to lose the weight before april where i head to LA
i fall off every so often but now i have to go head on with the next 20 pounds...salad water that's about it..
i will never gain this weight again...its the worst.
5 or 6 sundae's a day look at them
was my mothers breast...next.
WOW, and most kids are satisfied with just the milk from their mothers breasts.
It's amazing how celebrities, like Matt and others like him, can claim "It's easy to lose weight" when with his wealth ... and most likely the studios money as well... he lost a considerable amount of weight in a short window of time. SUre, it's easy if every day you have a trainer or a doctor checking on you because this extremely bad idea of weight loss is not really good for your body.
As a survivor of Anorexia/bulimia, I can tell you that the loss of 40 or more pounds in a drastically short window of time is not healthy. Your organs are forced suddenly to do without and bad things can happen.
With Matt, standing there saying "it's easy, you just have to concentrate" there is a subtle condescending tone to his statements towards those who struggle with weight loss every day. Sure, he may not have meant it towards those people but as a celebrity with a platform, he should pay more attention to what he is saying and when he is saying them. He lost a lot of weight under medical supervision, throws out a claim that wieght loss is EASY if you concentrate, and then goes on to say that one of his first meals was a CHEESEBURGER.
Talk about sending out a mixed message. Sad to say, though, most likely the most dramatic part of his portrayal of this man dying of aids will be his dramatic weight loss.
to me...sorry then your the wrong rear i was looking at.
He look hungry how about some pizza hut with extra toppings
What secret ? he is all bones....hope he can get healthy again. He looks sick right now. I hope it was worth it.
Matt still a stud.. thats incredible..http://chrispowell.meerlymel.com/free-trainer/
pie's on matthew tomorrow...ha!
is the marriage alright?
hahahaha that's funny!
calm down...he lost the weight for a roll for heavens sakes
looks like real perv to me..
He looks really really bad. He looks like he's fighting something horrible like cancer and doesn't want to air it to the world.
His acting and his mannerisms are so contrived. Now his ruined his health by losing so much weight. He'll only know this in his fifties.
I just don't like him.
There. Mucho idiot.
He looks terrible
It also helps and would be wonderful motivation if everyone was paid $5, 6, 10 million to lose weight. Money is always a great motivator.
And for tracie and Sokman you're both idiots.
Why do you f at girls on here think he's good looking? I recall what you said in a previous thread. What is fine about him?
