He revealed to fans that he has lost 35 pounds and is below 200 pounds for the first time in a while. It took him just 40 days to drop the 35 pounds. In the blog post, he shared that he is drinking bone broth, as well as a vitamin beverage. He’s not eating any solid foods. Once he does begin eating solid foods again, he will continue following a restricted diet and limiting carbs and sugar.

After hearing about his huge weight loss, Duggar fans and critics took to Reddit to discuss it. Several questioned whether this diet was healthy or sustainable. They pointed out that there are many safer ways to lose weight. This extreme diet wasn’t the best choice, fans believe.

Many are also convinced that he’s going to gain all of the weight back as soon as he switches from bone broth to solid foods. Someone wrote, “He’s going to gain 10lbs after his first real meal. This type of weight loss is so a** backwards! You gain it back x2!”

Unfortunately, several Reddit users think that Jim Bob Duggar is dealing with an eating disorder now. One critic said, “That’s called an eating disorder, Jim Bob.”

Someone else pointed out, “They both look very unhealthy.” Yet another chimed in, “Yes, losing more than 1-2 lbs a week is unhealthy, especially if you were just a little overweight.”

Hopefully, Jim Bob realizes this diet isn’t sustainable and looks for another weight loss program in the future.

So, do you think that Jim Bob Duggar might be dealing with an eating disorder or another sickness? Or do you think he’s okay and simply wanted to lose weight? Sound off in the comments section below, and come back to TV Shows Ace for more news about the Duggar family.
