Russell Okung was a first-round draft pick, two-time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl winner with the Seattle Seahawks between 2010 and 2020.

Okung initially went on a water fast earlier this year and lost more than 100 pounds. After completing his second fast recently, the former NFL player is now down to 192 pounds. He chronicled his most recent weight-loss journey on his Instagram.
"Ultimately, I was still transitioning out of the NFL, I had a lot of questions about the world," Okung says in an Instagram video. "My entire worldview was completely shifting. There's still a lot of questions that I have. I don't want to say that they went away, but I do want to acknowledge that I have much more clarity, peace and acceptance that there are things that I cannot change.

"There are things that I can change and I am really [interested] in bringing my entire self to every experience that I encounter. I'm very happy 'cause I feel rooted. I feel grounded. I know why I'm here."
Okung was seen in the video sipping some juice for the first time in over a month.
On Tuesday, he revealed what he was consuming after the fast.
