Suits star Rick Hoffman, best known for playing Louis Litt in the American legal drama, recently shared a glimpse of his massive weight loss, which went viral on social media. “Been a minute,” he captioned the post on his Instagram

Responding to a user’s question about how he managed to lose all the weight, he wrote in the comment section, “Intense intermittent fasting and keto diet. No alcohol.”

Intrigued by his revelation, we asked a dietitian about how multiple lifestyle changes together often drive visible results rather than one single method

From a clinical nutrition perspective, the ketogenic diet is a very low-carbohydrate, higher-fat eating pattern that pushes the body to use fat-derived ketones as an alternative fuel source. “For some individuals, keto may support weight loss mainly because it can reduce overall calorie intake, improve satiety through higher protein and fat intake, and limit frequent consumption of refined carbohydrates. However, it is not a magic solution and may not be sustainable or suitable for everyone,” said consultant dietitian Garima Goyal.

Intermittent fasting works on a different principle: controlling the eating window. “By reducing the number of hours available for eating, some people naturally consume fewer calories, which can contribute to fat loss. However, the quality of food eaten during the eating window still matters. Adequate protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals remain essential,” said Goyal

Stressing that one of the most impactful changes he mentioned is cutting alcohol, Goyal told indianexpress.com, “Alcohol provides empty calories, can increase appetite, disturb sleep quality, affect liver metabolism, and make it harder to maintain a calorie deficit. For many individuals, reducing alcohol alone can create noticeable changes in body composition, energy levels, and overall health.”

However, successful long-term weight management is not just about removing carbohydrates or skipping meals. Goyal emphasised that it requires a sustainable routine that includes balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, strength training, good sleep, and consistency

Hoffman’s transformation shows that there are many paths to weight loss, but the common factor behind most successful transformations is creating habits that reduce excess calorie intake and improve metabolic health. “Keto, fasting, or avoiding alcohol can be useful tools for some people, but the real secret is finding a lifestyle you can maintain even after reaching your goal,” said Goyal
