Between 2010 and 2020, Russell Okung made significant achievements in his football career with the Seattle Seahawks, which included being a first-round draft pick, winning a Super Bowl, and being honored as a Pro Bowler twice.
Just like many other offensive linemen, Okung's weight during his extensive career reached over 310 pounds. Yet, in a pattern seen among numerous retired players, he has managed to significantly reduce his weight post-retirement.
At the start of this year, Okung embarked on a water fast that resulted in a weight loss of over 100 pounds. After concluding his second fasting cycle recently, the ex-NFL athlete now weighs in at 192 pounds. His latest journey to weight loss has been meticulously documented on his Instagram account.
"Ultimately, I was still transitioning out of the NFL, I had a lot of questions about the world," Okung said in an Instagram video. "My entire worldview was completely shifting. There's still a lot of questions that I have. I don't want to say that they went away, but I do want to acknowledge that I have much more clarity, peace and acceptance that there are things that I cannot change.
"There are things that I can change and I am really [interested] in bringing my entire self to every experience that I encounter. I'm very happy 'cause I feel rooted. I feel grounded. I know why I'm here."

In the video, Okung was spotted enjoying a juice, marking his first in over a month.
On Tuesday, he disclosed the dietary intake he has been maintaining post-fasting.
