As any viewer of Rescue Me has noticed, Lenny Clarke lost a tremendous amount of weight. In fact, Lenny lost an astonishing 144lbs according to People Magazine. After a divorce and canceled TV series, Clarke went “out of his mind eating” going from 176 lbs to 380 lbs. Saddled with high blood pressure and difficulty breathing, his good friend, Dennis Leary who is also a writer and producer of Rescue Me, was concerned and told him “you’re gonna die.” Dennis Leary, became part diet coach, part motivational coach and told him if he had to lose weight for the show, how much could he lose? Lenny responded “100 lbs.” The weight loss plot line was developed which called for Lenny’s character, Tommy, to go to prison to “waste away.” It was now time for Lenny to get into character and lose the weight!

Lenny Clarke: Diet Plan
Lenny jokes it’s his “murder 1 diet” since his character was sent to jail for gunning down a drunk driver who killed his son. In reality Lenny joined Weight Watchers and began eating salads, fruit and fresh fish. Btw his wife, Jennifer, is a fishing boat captain so there was alwasy fresh fish around the house. Add to this his daily swimming and biking and you have Lenny Clarke’s recipe for weight loss success. He has his sights on a goal weight of 200 lbs, which is 36 lbs away.

Remarking on Lenny’s 144 lb weight loss, Dennis Leary says “I can’t believe there’s not a special weight-loss Emmy.”
