Kevin Federline was on the Bonnie Hunt show earlier this week and I have to say that the guy seemed much humbler and soft spoken than he has in the past. (You can see the video here.) He talked about how depressed and affected he was by his ex wife Britney’s public downfall during their divorce and how he took comfort in eating and sitting on the couch. He’s addressed this in the past while promoting his appearance on Celebrity Fit Club, airing now. I was really impressed by how sincere and genuine he seemed. He didn’t come across as a dick at all, and that’s high praise considering what a materialistic ass he was before he gained and then lost all that weight.
Kevin also said that he loves both Britney Spears and Shar Jackson, the mothers of his four children. He said he’s reached a point with both of them where they’re friends and are successfully coparenting. He sounded very grateful to have them in his life.
I’m really fortunate to have both of those people in my life… and as mothers of my children. In all actuality they are very very understanding… I love both of them very much. I still to this day I love them both.
In their coverage of this story, The Sun focuses on the fact that Kevin drank a whopping 12-24 cans of soda a day. It wasn’t diet soda and he called it his “coffee and candy.” He also said he ate comfort food like pizza and macaroni and cheese and his only exercise was playing with his kids. At his heaviest the 6′ tall former backup dancer was 240 pounds.
The former dancer, who recently appeared on Celebrity FIT club in the US, blamed his unhealthy diet and subsequent weight gain on his split from BRITNEY SPEARS.
He told chat show host BONNIE HUNT: “I didn’t drink water, that was all I drank.
“That was my coffee and my candy.”
K-Fed admitted spending days on the couch eating pizza and Macaroni cheese, his only exercise being playing with his young kids.
He suffered depression following the end of his two-year marriage to Britney and revealed watching his ex-wife’s meltdown made things worse – leading to his lust for food.
He added: “I hit 30-years-old, I stop dancing, started eating and sitting on the couch playing with the kids here and there.
“I got lazier and lazier, and fatter and fatter.”

I couldn’t figure out exactly how much weight K-well fed has lost, but it looked like at least 40 pounds when he first did the talk show circuit a couple of months ago. Now he’s gained some back. Hopefully he’s switched to diet soda and water. I’ve heard other people who’ve lost weight mention that they drank more than two liters of soda a day. Just one can has over 10 teaspoons of sugar in it! Imagine what more than 120 teaspoons of sugar a day can do to your body.
awww, that is so sweet.
I have a friend that drinks a two liter of soda a day and she is teeny tiny.
I’m pretty sure 120 tsp of sugar a day = diabetes! I read something that men should only have 8 tsp & women 6 tsp & that’s not just in your coffee but from all foods.
Are these recent photos?
Then he didn’t gain a little back. He’s almost fully yoyo’d back & posing in the produce section is not going to fool anybody.
When he first came around I couldn’t stand him, now I don’t mind him so much. lol.
It is interesting to know he suffered from depression after his seperation from Britney and during her meltdown. It means he really cared in my eyes. I like that he has love for both of these woman who have given him so much and is not afraid to share that with us. He is kind of a good guy, I will stop calling him names now. =)
I actually lost like 15 pounds by cutting coke out of my diet. I couldnt believe it. It was hard as hell though because I was such an addict lol! Now I drink diet soda or water.
And I agree Lori. I think he really did love Britney. I mean he went out of his way to joint parent with her even when she was at her worst you know?
I think Kevin lost over 30 pounds during the show and more later. I’m hoping he just looks fat in those pictures because he’s wearing white!! I think he sincerely means it when he says he loves both Brit and Shar and I hope he lets them both know that.
I gave up soda for Lent and I think I lost about 20 lbs. Im not going back to soda I drink water now. Soda has way too much sugar and it’s bad for your teeth.
I don’t believe a word out of this guy’s mouth. Poor Kevin who’s living off his ex-wife’s money with his blonde also freeloader girlfriend. Boo hoo.
dread pirate cuervo-
ONE soda a day can make you diabetic. Soda is pure poison and I haven’t drank it in 11 years and do not miss it. I drink only water (about a gallon a day) black coffee and unsweet tea. Diet soda is actually just as bad, the aspartame can cause MS-like symptoms and it is so highly toxic that people who work in the processing plant have to wear hazmat suits. If you breathe it in, it WILL kill you. I think if people really knew what was in their food, they might think twice about eating it. Also, high fructose corn syrup has mercury in it so it really IS poison in more than one way. And most processed foods (like chips, frozen pizza, etc) have soy in them…which is terrible for you since it causes cancer and about half of all soy crops are genetically modified. Haven’t y’all noticed that kids who are raised on soy based formulas are ALWAYS sickly, with allergies, rashes, etc? It is scary shit when you research these things, I did and my diet is as natural as humanly possible, and I feel SO much better. I don’t even miss junk food that often….more so now that I’m pregnant but once you stop, if you eat it, you will be SICK! It’s crazy.
Lori and Sarah I agree.
I can’t imagine how hard that must have been to watch and be totally powerless.
Diet Soda messes with your blood sugar even worse than the regular soda – my brother lost 30 pounds by cutting out the diet coke. Also the phosphoric acid in soda leaches calcium from the bones and all the sugar is bad for the pancreas, which is what I read in the health section of the newspaper the other day.
Sounds to me like Fed-X may have done some growing up. Too bad it took until he was 30.
Like Kai, I drink unsweetened teas and coffee, and I drink 6-8 one-and-a-half litre bottles of water a day. Not because anyone tells me to, but because I love water. I only occasionally drink juice, and usually it’s V-8 or V-8 Juice Blends. No juice sweetened with anything but the fruit it contains.
I quit drinking diet soda when I discovered aspartame causes wicked migraines, which was many years ago. And one 8 ounce serving of any soda wipes out the amount of calcium in a glass of milk.
Those pictures are old I think. Saw a newer one recently and he did loose that belly. Still not hot though.
Sadly, something like this is not uncommon in America right now, this is why we have people who weigh a quarter ton right now.
I wish we could boycott soda, for no other reason than for manufacturers to use REAL SUGAR instead of HFCS (don’t believe the commercials). I rarely drink soda since I’ve been on Weight Watchers; I’m not against anyone who drinks it regularly. Like other posters mentioned Soda is just as bad because of Aspertame.
I have to say I started to like Kevin when he did that Nationwide commercial mocking himself. That was fabulous.
that is like a pound of sugar,no wonder he blew up like a balloon. i thought he was just a pot head and spending every day high and ordering food with brit’s money.
Im obliged for the blog.Really looking forward to read more. Really Great.
