Kandis-Johnny undergoes lifestyle change: I was a ticking bomb

Johnny Hansen lived for many years on French hotdogs in the tour bus. Now he has turned his life around and wants to inspire others to drop the quick weight loss diets.

When Kandis-singer Johnny Hansen looked at the scale three years ago, it showed 125 kilos. At the same time, he was confronted by doctors with lifestyle diseases such as prediabetes and severe sleep apnea, which he still struggles with today.

- When I sleep, I am disturbed 74 times an hour. That's like being jolted in the shoulder 74 times an hour, explains Johnny Hansen in Aftenshowet Monday ( https://www.dr.dk/drtv/se/aftenshowet_-naturbrande-i-los-angeles-foraarsager-historisk-skade_500010 ).

At this point, the popular Danish pop singer had toured the country thinly and played over 286 concerts in 2022. His diet during this period consisted primarily of large meals at venues and two quick French hotdogs from the thought before and after a concert.

- I didn't focus on health. I only focused on getting out and playing concerts.

No quick weight loss diets

------------------------

Earlier, Johnny Hansen had been on every weight loss diet, but this time he decided, with the help of professor and doctor Bente Klarlund, that there would be a lifestyle change.

- At one point I tell him: ‘Johnny, you look like a ticking bomb’. I'm simply concerned that he will get diabetes, heart disease, and won't be able to maintain the life he lives, says Bente Klarlund.

Today he practices more exercise and lives according to what he calls the handful principle, where he eats two handfuls of vegetables, a handful of protein, a handful of carbohydrates, and a little bit of fat.

- It's not rocket science, but the small things make me lose weight and have kept it off for half a year now, he says.

The singer hopes to inspire others to drop the quick weight loss diets and instead focus on a real lifestyle change, where there is room for everything with moderation.

- I hope I can get off my medication and the sleep apparatus I sleep with, if I lose more weight, he says.

Listen to Johnny Hansen elaborate on his choices in Monday's edition of Aftenshowet.
