Fat Joe has lost nearly 200 pounds over the past few years and sheds some light on how he transformed his body.
Talking to you Us Weekly at the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards, Joey Crack credited Ozempic along with dietary changes for his much leaner physique.
“Ozempic says you can only have two pieces of your favorite things,” he said of maintaining his weight loss. “We just try to eat everything with as few carbs as possible. So we try to stay away from bread, pasta, rice. This is the smartest way to eat.”
Joe continued, “Well this morning I had breakfast, I had this toast. I cut the corner, ate it and kept it moving. Normally I would have eaten the whole thing. But you know, that's what we do. We're cutting carbs and trying to be smarter.”
Ozempic is usually a drug used to treat people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but it has also found success as an anti-obesity drug.
Fat Joe clarified TMZ that he was diagnosed with diabetes as a teenager and that he used Ozempic along with exercise and proper diet to achieve his weight loss goals.
Ozempic has been a topic of discussion around several Hollywood stars and their figures as some artists like Ice Spice have shut down rumors of taking the diabetes drug.
Fat Joe will take the stage at the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards and play host for the night when the awards show airs on BET on Tuesday (October 15) at 8 p.m. ET.
