The film was shot in two parts. After his "fat half", he took an entire year off to change his physical appearance. He started on a very strict diet - fish, vegetables, very little carbohydrates, only water, etc. He would also do all types of cardio for about 2 hours a day, 6 days a week. Another thing, he actually developed an infection from a sore on his knee during the first part of the shoot, and had to undergo emergency surgery. The Doc told him that if truly had been alone on a deserted island - he would have died in 5 weeks. I guess the movie left that part out of it.
