I thought his cardiac surgeon talked him into that.
I heard a story that Chelsea talked him into it. Actually, I think he lost 20 lbs & got to his “ideal” weight before Chelsea’s wedding so maybe that was the Chelsea connection. Evidently, Dr. Dean Ornish had some influence on BC - his program was popular years ago & touted to ‘reverse’ heart disease. I think the program has changed & isn’t quite as restrictive. Bill still looks horrible these days & I don’t think diet is going to ‘fix’ whatever is wrong.
