Alec Baldwin revealed his secret for how he once underwent a major transformation and lost weight quickly.
On his family's reality TV show, the actor, 67, recounted the very strict diet that allowed him to shed over 25 pounds to film Blue Jasmine.
He previously starred alongside Oscar winner Cate Blanchett in Woody Allen's 2013 comedy-drama, which received three Oscar nominations.
While reflecting on that time, he discussed his health over the years in the latest episode of The Baldwins while doing yoga with his wife Hilaria Baldwin, 41.
In the episode — which aired on TLC just weeks after their cringey red carpet spat — Hilaria said that her husband is not as into exercising as she is, but she insisted that it is not just due to their 26-year age difference.
She recalled how he had taken 'a couple' of yoga classes and tried running with her 'over the past 13 years' before adding: 'It's just not his thing. It's just that he's a theater kid and I'm a jock.'

He said he used to be very active and play sports until he turned 40 years old because that was when his career took off while he was starting a family.
'So to be married to somebody who's as physically fit as you, as I'm kind of slipping — my strength and my coordination — it is bizarre,' he said. 'I just want to get healthy.'
Then, he explained that he completely cut out carbs and sugar from his diet to lose weight over a decade ago before adding that he is focusing on getting healthy and fit again.
'I didn't have no pasta, no potatoes, no candy, no sugar and I lost probably 25 pounds,' he recalled.
'You see me in the movie and I look trim, comparatively speaking, but I did have the barbecue sauce in my hair.'
At one point, he started opening up about being charged in the October 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the movie set of Rust.
'It really, really negatively affected my health, and I wasn't like that,' the actor explained.
'No matter what I had, my hip hurt, this hurt. I had energy, and now this sucked a lot of the energy out of me,' he continued.

'And so a year from now, I want to have put a lot of focus on my health and have that be very different.'
Hilaria added that she has noticed a difference in her husband recently. 'I'm seeing you more at the gym,' she told him. 'I'm seeing you calmer.'
Then, she noted that building healthy habits and healing takes time.
'It's gonna take us a really long time to let this sink and learn how to live again.'
The Baldwins premiered in late February and airs on TLC every Sunday.
