36. JEB's recent weight loss is very noticeable, esp. compared to photos

of him a couple years ago and I hardly know or follow the goon. His FACE and BODY are quite reduced. Maybe the regime he's on affects his energy level, esp. the Paleo diet you mention. Plenty of folks are diagnosed with pre diabetes around his age, and then start losing weight and exercising to try to stave off the full condition. Whatever the case, JEB's a dud.
