Earlier this year, Christopher opened up about what kickstarted his transformation, admitting that cutting out one specific food helped him shed 30 pounds in less than two months.
Christopher said the process of getting into shape has taken him more than five years, adding he ‘tried everything’ before finding out what worked, as he spoke at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles in June.
The University of Michigan graduate revealed to Kelly Osbourne and the event’s host, Jeff Beacher, that while he was on a trip to Australia in 2019, he realized he couldn’t go skydiving due to his weight, as per People.
‘I made it a big [deal] like, “Oh, I’m going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,” and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities.’
‘I was like, “I want to go skydiving.” And my friends were like, “Yeah, no shot.” I was like, “Yeah, I can’t skydive.”‘
Christopher traced his weight struggles back to high school, recalling bringing special healthy lunches to school.
‘I tried everything. I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school.’
He admitted weight loss is ‘not an overnight thing’ and that it ‘took a lot of trial and error.’

‘And even still to this day … when you’re saying, oh, before and after photos … I don’t feel like I’m an after yet. I don’t feel like I’m at the point.’
Christopher also credited giving up bread for Lent with helping him lose 30 pounds.
‘Weirdly enough, I gave up bread for Lent. I don’t know if anyone’s Catholic in here, but I gave up bread for Lent.’
‘I was like, “Well, if I’m giving up bread, I might as well just take the opportunity and I’m a good Catholic boy, so I’m not going to break it,”‘ he stated.
Christopher looked trimmer than ever as he stepped out
Meanwhile their half -brother Joseph Baena was iced out once again as he posed with dad Arnold

‘And that was my one rule. I was like, “I’m not going to break Lent.” And so I lost 30 pounds just through that.’
Although Christopher has mostly kept quiet about his fitness journey, a now-deleted 2021 Instagram post showed his brother Patrick, 31, praising his workout dedication.
In the post, The White Lotus star wrote, ‘Proud of you. New job. Crushing in the gym. Whole new person. Can’t wait to see what this year brings.’
His father Arnold also praised him.
‘Between your boxing classes, your weightlifting classes, your stretching classes, your cycling classes, and on and on, I can’t even keep up with you!’ the famous bodybuilder raved on Instagram.
Christopher recently turned heads on Easter Sunday, showing off his fit new frame while celebrating the holiday with his famous family.
While big brother Patrick has been lighting up screens with his shirtless scenes on The White Lotus, Christopher made his own statement—sporting a snug long-sleeve and fitted grey slacks that highlighted his toned transformation.
The sighting comes just days after he proudly posed with his siblings in an Instagram tribute for National Sibling Day—looking noticeably trim in a rare family photo.
Back in 2020, a source told HollywoodLife that Christopher had made it a personal mission to ‘get healthy for graduation’ from the University of Michigan, a goal he ‘stuck to.’
‘He started working out and making better food choices. He was away at school living like a typical college kid for a few years, but he’s growing up now and ready to take better care of himself,’ the insider shared.

Christopher’s mother Maria (top center) split from his father after his affair with their housekeeper Mildred Baena and their son Joseph Baena came to light in 2010, but they still maintain friendly relations when around the kids
He may also be taking notes from his gym-obsessed half-brother Joseph, 25, who quickly took after his famous dad, embracing the bodybuilding lifestyle and flaunting his ripped physique
Instead of chasing quick fixes or trendy crash diets, Christopher reportedly cut back on junk food and committed to a consistent workout routine.
It was all reportedly part of an effort to mirror his father’s famously disciplined approach to fitness.
He may also be taking notes from his gym-obsessed half-brother Joseph Baena, 25, Arnold’s son with the family’s former housekeeper Mildred Baena.
The action legend kept his relationship with Mildred hidden for years—until 2010, when news broke that they’d had a son together, Joseph, sending his marriage to Maria into a tailspin.
Joseph quickly took after his famous dad, embracing the bodybuilding lifestyle and flaunting his ripped physique.
