Rev. Al Sharpton says his new starvation diet has made him a new man. The once portly, 60-year-old radio and MSNBC host says cutting red meat and poultry out of his “Al Sharpton Diet” helped him drop over 300 pounds!
From NY Daily News:
Sharpton has shed 60% of his much-mocked weight — and he did it without surgery, diet pills or a single Weight Watchers meeting.
“I could take all the cartoons in the tabloid newspapers, but I couldn’t take my daughter punching me in the belly and asking why I was so fat,” Sharpton recalled. “That was my inspiration to lose the weight. And probably the last time anyone hurt my feelings.”
Around six years ago, Sharpton cut out red meat. A year later, he did away with chicken — no small feat for a guy who ate fried fowl three times a day (with grits and eggs for breakfast and on a sandwich in the afternoon, plus a half-chicken for dinner).
Eventually he cut out so much food that he was subsisting on a single lunchtime salad (albeit with one perk: a chopped egg). That’s when the weight really started coming off, at a rate of about 2 pounds a week. And as he got thinner, he found he missed food less and less.
The Rev Al is basically starving himself to maintain his thinner, unhealthy frame.

The problem with starvation diets is..The shut down effect. Your body begins to shut down shyt it deems unnecessary to survive. And the very moment you start eating again it will store every drop of fat that pass your lips to build up for the next time a famine arrives.
