Alex Rodriguez‘sMet Galapreparation included intense workouts and minimal eating.

The 14-time All-Star, 43, documented his most recent weight loss, where he dropped six pounds in order to fit into his size 44 Versace tuxedo, four sizes smaller than his usual size 48.

A-Rod was in a weight-loss mode for fashion’s biggest night, and broke down his methods in a recent Youtube vlog. The former shortstop and third basemen credited yoga, strategic sweating and stair-running as key parts of his weight-loss routine. “I used to exercise for big games against the Red Sox, now I exercise not to look fat at the Met Ball,” he joked.

Rodriguez even revealed he goes on a liquid diet consisting solely of water to shed those extra pounds! “I’m going to have to hold my stomach in all night,” he said. “Now I haven’t had steak in four days that gets me very angry.”

While A-Rod and fiancé Jennifer wowed at the Met Gala crowd in style, it came at the price of not eating actual food and forcing his body to sweat out water weight.

Rodriguez also admitted that he was looking forward to the hour after the Met Gala when he would eat pizza at his favorite local spot. “I cannot wait to eat an entire pizza,” he told fans in his video.
