Michael Schanze's Weight Loss Revealed
Here's a remarkable transformation! Beloved TV icon, Michael Schanze, has shed a staggering 73 pounds, now tipping the scales at 125 kg instead of 198. The charismatic "1, 2 or 3" host shares his weight loss secrets with us.
Munich – Wow, what a makeover! TV legend Michael Schanze sheds 125 pounds, leaving his rollator and expansive belly in the past. The "1, 2 or 3" host reveals his weight loss secrets and discusses the aftermath of his great love, Uschi.
The rollator he once relied on for appearances is history. So is his ample belly. Long-standing TV favorite Michael Schanze (78), eternally remembered for hosting "1, 2 or 3" and other classic TV formats such as "Kinderquatsch mit Michael" – has nearly halved. "I feel like a million bucks today," the famous entertainer shares with Bild newspaper[3] in an exclusive interview.
Reducing from 198 kg to a svelte 125 kg, Schanze boasts an impressive weight loss following one and a half years. This transformation, the bon vivant who's always adored fine food and drink, accomplished by toning his lifestyle choices.
Back in his early days, Schanze was quite the sportsman, conquering water, land, and tennis courts. However, a skiing accident in 2003 put a quick end to those active pursuits[1].
Michael Schanze now practices mindful eating
"Less activity led to more belly for me," Schanze explains his weight gain, which began post-accident. In 2023, he came close to reaching the 200 kg mark. He could only make public appearances with a rollator – his aching joints could no longer support the weight[1]. But then the entertainer made a decision that changed his life.
"From January 10, 2023, to today, I've gone from 198 to 125 kg," Schanze proudly calculates. His method sounds surprisingly simple: "I eat more consciously, stay active as best I can, and now have a weight loss injection every Sunday."
His ambition is to become a "below 100" man. "My next goal is to reach 100 kg," the TV star explains.
Michael Schanze cherishes memories of his late partner
Recent tragic developments in Schanze's personal life come to light. "It still hurts that Uschi didn't get to see this transformation," he says about his partner, who left him due to the consequences of a brain hemorrhage[2]. "The calendar says it's been ten months, but my soul tells a different story," Schanze says with sorrow in his heart.
Last year, Schanze was still grieving the loss of his Uschi. "I was the one with all the illnesses, not Uschi," he told Bunte magazine in August 2024[2]. She always stood by his side.
