In 2010, Carey said that a strict diet of limited carbs and making sure he drank a lot of water helped him stay on track -- mix that in with hitting the gym regularly and consistently, and you will start dropping pounds.

“No carbs,” he told PEOPLE at the time. “I have cheated a couple times, but basically no carbs, not even a cracker. No bread at all. No pizza, nothing. No corn, no beans, no starches of any kind. Egg whites in the morning or like, Greek yogurt, cut some fruit.”

Regarding beverages, the comedian admitted all he drinks is water, “No coffee, no tea, no soda.”

But his biggest secret is the workout. “Lots of cardio. About 45 minutes of cardio, at least 45 minutes of cardio," he said of his exercise sessions.

Nearly 15 years later, Carey is admitting it was all a hoax, and he just used CGI -- kidding!

"It's all CGI," he quipped. "Don't even worry about it."

All joking aside, the 'Price Is Right' host says his secret to his slimmed-down look nowadays all boils down to choosing the proper fit from his closet.

"I wear proper suits that fit instead of being all baggy," he told ET. "That makes all the difference."

Thanks to his dedication and sticking to his diet and workout routine he dropped from a size 44 pants to a 33-34.

“I like being skinny,” he said. “I was sick of being fat on the camera. Really, I just got sick of it. Once I started losing weight, again, like once I started dropping a couple pant sizes, then it was easy ’cause once you see the results, then you don’t wanna stop.”

The writing was on the wall.”

Although he has dropped 80 pounds in 10 years, he says he's "got a few more to lose."

“I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor — a couple of years I didn’t,” Clarkson said of her weight loss. “And 90 percent of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway. I’m a Texas girl, so I like meat — sorry, vegetarians in the world!”
