Today is the last day you’ll ever recognize Adam Richman as the heavy food enthusiast scarfing his favorite dishes on Travel Channel’s Man vs. Food.

After a 10-month effort to shed excess weight and ultimately lead a healthier lifestyle, the 40-year-old man who once ate a five pound pizza for the sake of television stripped down this week and debuted his sexy new bearish body in a fully-nude photoshoot for horny ladies bible Cosmo.

He tells the magazine that his ballooning weight sent him into deep depression. He decided to make a lifestyle change with a regular workout routine and healthy eating habits after watching his weight climb during regular visits to the doctor. “I went in for a checkup, and when my doctor had me stand on the scale, even he was surprised,” he says. “Seeing that number (which I’ll take to the grave) was a turning point. I knew I needed to make a change.”

Richman debuted his weight loss story with People in late 2013. For reference, this is what he looked like in 2012:

“To go from hating the way I looked to being a Cosmo centerfold is a profound honor,” he said, adding that he has lost over 60 pounds and counting.
