EJ underwent gastric sleeve surgery in 2015, resulting in significant weight loss. He shared with E! News that he maintains his weight by opting for lighter meals, saying, “I just constantly nibble throughout the day instead of sitting down for large meals.”
He stays active by working out with a trainer and practicing Pilates, aiming for at least four sessions each week. EJ emphasizes the importance of enjoying fitness: “Find a workout that’s something you love to do. For me, it’s not even working out; it’s just having fun.” He mentioned that dancing is a big part of his routine, allowing him to burn calories without feeling like he’s exercising. Additionally, he has made dietary changes by cutting down on carbs and sugar, as he revealed to Us Weekly.
