Adam Richman is showing off his new body.
"To go from hating the way I looked to being a 'Cosmo' centerfold is a profound honor," he begins the article. "If you're a guy who's always been the fun-to-be-around teddy bear, then all of a sudden people are viewing you as sexy, it's nice."
"It's great not having the be the plucky best friend or the comic relief anymore," he says candidly. "I love that. Who wouldn't rather hear, 'Wow, you look great,' than 'Eww...?'"
The Travel Channel host shared in an essay for "Men's Health" in December that long hours at work and an abundance of food caused him to become "depressing[ly]" heavy.
Seeing himself on tape and a routine checkup spurred him to lose 70 pounds in 10 months."Do I miss the food? Sure," he writes. "But not as much as I enjoy the benefits of being at a healthy weight."
