Before starting his new, healthy lifestyle in July last year he weighed in at 153kg, and is now only 5kg off his goal weight of 90kg.

Palmer is well-known on social media for his jokes about his own unhealthy habits, often talking about his love of chocolate biscuits and Tim Tams, however since starting his strict regime he has posted on social media crediting weight loss and pre-packaged meal company Lite’N Easy with helping to teach him portion control.

He said that his weight loss was motivated by his family, in particular his young children with his second wife Anna, aged seven and two, and that at 62 years of age he “was pushing it uphill on the long term”.

“I’ve got a two-year-old daughter and I’ve got a strong obligation to help her live life,” he said.

When talking about his diet he said, “Mentally, you’ve got to make the decision to make a commitment, realise the gravity. You’ve got to implement it as a discipline.”

Obviously what he is doing is working!

What do you think of Clive Palmer’s tremendous effort?
