Christopher Schwarzenegger Explains What Led to Incredible Weight Loss

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, Christopher, went through an insane weight loss transformation using these methods.

Christopher Schwarzenegger’s weight-loss journey was not an easy one.

The son of bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger opened up about his transformation during the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles on Saturday. Schwarzenegger worked hard to find methods that work for him and he opened up about these techniques — including one specific food that was cut out.

Schwarzenegger, per People, explained his “big process.”

“I started in 2019 when I was living in Australia. I was on this big trip. I made it a big deal like ‘oh I’m going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,’ and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities.”

Christopher is the youngest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. While he is rarely seen in public, Christopher Schwarzenegger first showed off his weight loss in 2021 when he was seen with Shriver in New York City.

Christoper Schwarzenegger Talks Incredible Weight Loss

Christopher Schwarzenegger began realizing that he could not do everyday activities due to his weight. Outside of normal activities, Schwarzenegger wanted to explore Australia and do other activities as well. This includes skydiving but he and his friends agreed there was “no shot.”

Once this process began, it was important to find what worked best.

“I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school. It’s not an overnight thing, but it took a lot of trial and error.”

Schwarzenegger was seen with his family, including ‘White Lotus’ star Patrick Schwarzenegger, around Easter. This was after Christopher gave up a specific food for Lent and it led to a 30-pound weight loss.

“Weirdly enough, I gave up bread for Lent. I was like ‘well if I’m giving up bread, I might as well just take the opportunity and I’m a good Catholic boy so I’m not going to break it.’ And that was my one rule. And I lost 30 pounds just through that.”

Christopher Schwarzenegger might have completed an incredible weight-loss journey but he does not feel like a finished product just yet.

“Even still to this day, when you’re saying ‘oh before and after photos,’ I don’t feel like I’m an after yet. I don’t feel like I’m at the point.”
