Joe Rogan SHOCKED after Hollywood star Kevin James reveals 40-day fasting for daughter

Comedian and Hollywood actor Kevin James recently was welcomed by his old friend Joe Rogan on his podcast. The two have trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu together back in the day. However, Rogan continued on his martial arts and fitness journey while James had other things to focus on. During their discourse, he revealed a shocking experience of fasting for 40- days.

Kevin James was naturally a heavy person and has often relied upon fasting to reduce his weight. Once, he committed himself to a grueling 41-day fast for the cause of his daughter’s health. He avoided all food and only consumed water with some electrolytes during the period. He revealed the shocking news on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

I felt so bad for my daughter, I said I'm going to do this. I didn't say I'm going to do 40 days (fasting). I just said I'm going to do whatever I can.

Kevin James’ older daughter suffers from Autism Spectrum Disorder which motivated the Hollywood actor to do something for her. As such, he fasted for 41 days straight. He nearly lost almost 60 pounds of weight during this fast period. Joe Rogan was shell-shocked on hearing this. However, James regained the weight soon since drastic fasting wasn’t a sustainable weight-loss method. As such, Rogan advised him to follow a Carnivore Diet.

Rogan is an advocate of the Carnivore Diet as he has followed it for a long time. Fasting has also proven a good way for weight loss if you look at the transformation of UFC CEO, Dana White and Chris Weidman. However, those were short periods of fasting, unlike James’ drastic method.

Kevin James recalls an instance of sparring with Merab Dvalishvili at the Joe Rogan Experience

The Hollywood actor Kevin James delved into the MMA space when he portrayed Scott Voss in the 2012 film “Here Comes the Boom”. However, he has been a longtime follower of the sport and has trained in Jiu-Jitsu alongside UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan. Now, on his appearance at the JRE Podcast, he shared an experience of sparring with the #1 bantamweight contender Merab Dvalishvili.

Recounting the incident, James stated he joined UFC fighters Aljamain Sterling and Merab Dvalishvili on one of their fight camps. Chris Weidman oversaw the camp and matched up James with Dvalishvili for a round of sparring. ‘The Machine’ not knowing James was an actor, mistook him as a ‘fat old fighter’ and poured on his usual pace.

I did one with training camp with [Chris] Weidman, Aljo [Aljamain Sterling], and those guys...I got in there, Aljo knows me, these guys know me. Merab thinks I’m a fat, old fighter. I’ve got the headgear on, he doesn’t recognize me as an actor, and he starts dancing around. He just starts going crazy, and I go, ‘Oh my God! I got lit up by him in two seconds. I had to take [my headgear] off and say, ‘I’m an actor, man.

Joe Rogan on hearing this started laughing. Then he proceeded to explain Merab Dvalishvili’s character. As such, he told James about his recent fight with Henry Cejudo and how ‘The Machine’ dominated the Olympic medalist.
