Penn Jillette didn't listen to the experts who told him to get his stomach stapled. But he did radically change his diet, and tries to fast 23 hours a day.

Losing 105 pounds in three months is almost a pound a day. What’s your big advice?

My first tip is this: “If you take health advice from a Las Vegas magician, you are an idiot.” That said, my advice is … make it hard. Easy is your enemy. Don’t believe those articles that say, “Just cut your portions down by 20%,” “Skip dessert” or “Cut out sodas.” Yeah, that seems logical. But it doesn’t work for me — I want to lose a pound a day. I want to see the scale go like this [points straight down].

I don’t consider myself special. For anybody, there’s no pride in doing things easy. No one brags about walking up the little grassy slope. They brag about climbing Everest. Decide it’s going to be hard and do it like the other things that are hard in your life.But when someone said, “This is going to be as hard as getting your own theater in Vegas” —I don’t respect moderation. In my whole life, I always thought, the easy way is not fun. So the way I lost weight made me proud.

All diet is habit. We have the disadvantage of being born in a very rich country with food everywhere. And changing your eating desires takes years.You gotta do it, but I didn’t until I hit my target weight. It sounds counterintuitive but exercise is easier on your cardiovascular system and joints if you lose weight first — especially if you’re 100 pounds overweight. Now I do what everyone does — the elliptical and weights.

I started writing at twice the speed. We got much more material at Penn and Teller. Everything went better.
