His fans know him as round and comfortable, with a stately belly. But in recent years he has been steadily losing weight: Reality TV star Detlef Steves (54) has now been on a strict diet for nine weeks and has lost a lot of weight again. On Instagram he proudly shows before and after photos of his transformation. “What can I say, on the left picture I’m 45 years old, on the right one 54 years old,” he writes.

The former “Let’s Dance” candidate also reveals his current weight loss secret: “Eat healthier now, do sports, that’s it. I loved sweets, have set them to zero for nine weeks and have no appetite for it anymore .”

Steves does not reveal exactly how many kilos he has lost. However, it is clear to see that there must be a lot: His face is much more prominent, his stomach and his overall stature are significantly slimmer.

Wife Nicole, to whom Steves has been married for 35 years, is enthusiastic about the success of the diet and congratulates her husband on Instagram with red heart emojis: “I’m so proud of you!”
