Mario D. Richardt shares his dramatic weight-loss journey in Plauen
Mario D. Richardt, the renowned host of MDR’s Mach dich ran, will speak about his dramatic weight-loss journey in Plauen on January 25. The event follows the release of his new book, Shed the Pounds, where he reveals a life-changing medical diagnosis and the steps he took to transform his health.
Richardt’s decision to lose weight came after a painful moment on live television. Viewers criticized his appearance, pushing him to take action. His turning point, however, arrived when Dr. Tobias Wiesner, a specialist in diabetes and endocrinology, diagnosed him with insulin resistance. Richardt described the news as a blitz aus heiterem Himmel—a sudden shock that forced him to rethink his lifestyle.
In Shed the Pounds, he details his struggle with the condition and offers clear dietary advice. The book combines personal experience with scientific explanations from Dr. Wiesner, making complex health issues easier to understand. The Plauen event will begin at 4:00 PM in the Festhalle. Tickets cost €15 and are available at the city’s Tourist Information office or through Eventim’s website.
Richardt’s talk will give attendees an inside look at his health transformation. The book and event both aim to help others facing similar challenges. With practical tips and medical insights, his story highlights how small changes can lead to major improvements.
