Enes Kanter lost an absurd 51 pounds this offseason, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. How'd he do it? Here was his old diet:

“First my breakfast: I was eating like six eggs, omelet with six eggs; seven or eight pancakes, with sugar, whipped cream, everything; then a breakfast burrito. That was just my breakfast. Then I came to practice and my lunch was just like pasta, chicken alfredo or whatever, and then a burger and an appetizer. Dessert? No. Dessert was at dinnertime. Dinnertime I ate another burger, a big meal again and a dessert.”

Here is his new diet:

As for the weight loss, Kanter said he switched to a diet based primarily on seafood and salads.

Now it all makes sense.
