Costa Osadchi, a well-known reality TV contestant, has undergone a dramatic transformation, shedding 105 kilograms since his previous appearance on MasterChef. The 40-year-old is returning to compete in the new season of "MasterChef: Dream Team," aiming to claim the victory that eluded him before. Costa first appeared on the show in its eighth season but had to withdraw when his wife went into labor.

Previously weighing around 200 kilograms, Costa has documented his fitness journey on Instagram, sharing before-and-after photos and videos of his workout routine. He humorously reflected on his past weight, saying, "Sometimes I look at myself in pictures and feel like it never happened, like those were different lives. From experience, I can say: it's easier to be lighter." Costa credits his wife for helping him maintain his health, stating that without her support, he might not be alive today.

Costa's weight loss journey began earlier on the third season of the show "Laredet BeGadol" (Lose Big), where he lost over 50 kilograms. Now, with a significantly changed appearance, he returns to MasterChef with renewed determination. The new season premiered recently on Keshet 12, with Costa among 12 returning contestants competing for the title.

His transformation has drawn attention as a remarkable example of personal change and perseverance in the competitive culinary reality show arena.
