Shaq hoped to return to the gym in mid-April. He said, “I’ll be back April 16, and I’m going in. I’m going to try and lose 30 lbs. and I’m going to try and get an eight-pack. Right now I got a little five-pack.”

Of his “51 diet,” O’Neal noted that he was going to eat “five BS meals and one meal” for “90 days.”

The five meals include a breakfast shake, four chicken breast, fruit plate, salad, and a shake. He pointed out, “I’m about to be shredded.”

In October, he revealed that he dropped 36 lbs. He told Logan Paul on his “Impaulsive” podcast, “I was 401 lbs. Now I’m 365. I’m trying to take it back to 345.”
