Torsten Sträter discusses weight loss and suspected eating disorder

German comedian Torsten Sträter has revealed that he has lost 25 kilograms and suspects he has developed a mild eating disorder. Speaking on the podcast ‘Silvia am Sonntag’, the 59-year-old explained that his significant weight loss was triggered by a diabetes diagnosis, which led him to strictly eliminate sugar and avoid many other foods from his diet.

Sträter, who stands 1.80 meters tall, currently weighs 78 kilograms and expressed a desire to reach a target weight of 85 kilograms. He noted that the extreme dietary restrictions made it difficult to consume enough calories. The comedian also touched upon his recent health journey, mentioning a previous cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment, stating that he is now focused on recovery and is ‘glad to be alive’.
