Interview with Conan O’Brien
Louie Anderson told Conan O’Brien in March of 2021 that he began intermittent fasting during the pandemic to lose weight.
“I started the pandemic at about 370 or 380 pounds depending on what I was leaning on,” Anderson said during the talk show appearance.
“And now I’m 340. I’m trying to get 275 so I can get into some of my mom’s actual clothes,” he added, alluding to his female character on Baskets.
“Im on the intermittent fast – one minute I’m eating, the next minute I’m not.”
He added more seriously: “No, it’s a wonderful thing, the intermittent fasting.”
Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating and is used to quickly shed weight.
