Rapper Fat Joe has something to celebrate besides his career. The 6-foot, 2-inch rapper lost 88 pounds of unwanted fat, slimming down from 425 pounds to 285! In a recent interview with the New York Daily News, he said that his motivation was the loss of seven of his friends in the last year, all in their 30s, who died of heart attacks brought on by morbid obesity. Rapper, Big Pun, who was his biggest discovery, also died of a heart attack back in 2002.
He spoke of his successful weight loss during a recent interview with the New York Daily News.
“Everybody needs to educate themselves. If youre from the inner city, the hood, Bronx, Harlem, Brooklyn, whatever, and you go to your store and there ain’t no diet Snapples in there, aint no sugar free candies, you need to tell them, yo, I need that.”
So how did he do it?
Fat Joe simply began to eat healthy. His daily regimen consists of six small meals a day, laden with fruit, veggies, lean meats and whole grain foods. He also works out every day for two hours doing cardio and weight lifting.
The motivation behind his quest for a healthier life style goes even deeper than protecting his own life. His five-year old daughter, Azaryah, needs her daddy and he wants to be there for her as she approaches all of life’s triumphs and challenges.
“I cant leave my daughter behind. I want to be here for her; I dont want to die on her,” he told the press.
So, does he need a new name?
