Director Kevin Smith Shares His Weight Loss Secrets

Filmmaker Kevin Smith doesn't look so heavy for a guy with a podcast called Fatman on Batman and a comedy special titled Too Fat For 40.

The director has struggled with his weight throughout his career, often gaining and losing dramatic amounts between films, and given both his self-depreciating style of humor and that one time he was kicked off an airplane, it's become one of his signature characteristics.

Having posted the photo above earlier today, though, a number of fans noted that he'd dropped a significant amount of weight recently (something we noticed when we interviewed Smith at Comic Con -- you can see video here). After a few inquiries, Smith chimed in with the following explanation:

True story: on Tusk, I learned how to lose weight WHILE making a movie. The secret is to not eat sugar and stand all day. I never sit behind the monitor: I'm always moving now. I've been wearing a Jawbone bracelet and using the UP app to count my daily steps and every day this week, I've averaged 12,000. That's close to walking 5 miles..
