An Ohio man who gave up food for Lent has lost more than 30 pounds.

In March, Del Hall said he is only having an assortment of beer for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

According to KDKA, Hall is down 33 pounds with a few weeks to go.

Hall is taking a nod from monks in the 1600s that would fast during the season by a Bock beer diet.

"That would be their liquid bread and that's what they call it so the monks in Bavaria they would call doppelbock liquid bread and basically it would sustain them through [Lent],” he said.

Before he started his fast, Hall said he knows people say he’s crazy, but he wants to see if he can prove to himself that it’s possible.
