Eventually, the star began work on a project in Romania, where he once again started the liquid diet. That worked for a few months, resulting in the loss of 50-60 pounds. 

Since then, he's experienced with a range of diets: blood-type diet, South Beach diet, Atkins, Keto. You name it, he did it. During his most successful period he dropped at least 210 pounds, but this was mostly because he was riding "100-miles a day, six days a week." He describes his physical appearance as being "skin and bones."

For various reasons, including his inability to get a job due to his physique, he put on more weight. His co-host notes, "We were all used to you at your My Name Is Earl weight or more."

This time around though, he is doing it by increasing muscle mass. He explains, "Food is a functional fuel I use to live and that's how I am thinking about it right now."

All in all, Ethan says he's lost and gained at least "1,000 pounds." But now that he's at this place in his life, his goal is to get a six-pack and he say he's not "far off" from achieving it.
