Turns out Gwyneth’s the one to turn to if you’re serious about shedding the pounds.
Many people kick off the new year by vowing to get healthier, but for celebrity hairdresser David Babaii getting in shape was a necessity when he began his journey three years ago. Thanks to a busy work schedule and recent heartache, the 5 foot 5 hairstylist to the stars had ballooned to 285 pounds with a 44-inch waist. But thats when he turned to friend and client, Gwyneth Paltrow.
Gwyneth guided David on his weight loss
Speaking to E News the 40 year said that during a casual conversation with the actress he revealed his desire to lose weight. “I said to Gwyneth, "Listen, I really want to lose weight. I want to become better,'" Babaii said.
"She looked at me and said, 'Sounds good, what do you want to do? How do you want to do this?' It was just very organic and not in a judgmental way.” It was after this conversation with Paltrow that Vogue’s king of curls began his journey, with Gwyneth at his side every step of the way.

"If I was hungry, I would email her any time of the day and if she wasn't sleeping, she'd reply right away," Babaii revealed. "She would say, 'Try this. I think you'll like it. It's not boring.' She said that everything you do, do it in moderation. She would never say stop doing this or stop doing that. It's like she lead me to it without the pressure.”
"She had become almost like a life coach," Babaii continued. "She always says to me, 'Enjoy food.' But I was never enjoying food. I wouldn't taste the food. Now I actually taste it.” The hairdresser has since dropped 135 pounds, more than half his body weight.

Posting about his transformation on Instagram Babaii shared his before and after pictures writing, “Ok I would never want anyone to see my before but I have a friend that has been fighting so hard to lose weight and I hope this can show him that if I can do it then really anyone can.”
“My dear friend @gwynethpaltrow helped me get myself to understand that I'm worth it and I am loved and that I should love myself. She did not look down at me or judge me but with love helped me lose 135lbs ! I started to believe in myself and with a lot of hard work and my amazing trainer @willcastillofitness I did it and I have never in my life felt so alive and happy.”
