Fat Joe opens up about his weight-loss journey and reveals that he used Ozempic.
During a recent interview, the Bronx-born rapper talked about being on a healthier diet and combatting his battle with diabetes. “We just try to eat everything with the least carbs as possible,” he said. “So we try to stay away from the bread, the pasta, the rice. That’s the smartest way to eat.”
He added that carbs are still necessary and that they need to be balanced. “Like this morning I ate breakfast, I had this toast. I cut the corner off, ate it, and kept it moving. Normally I would’ve ate the whole thing. But you know, that’s what we do. We cut carbs and try to be smarter.”
Joe went on to speak about how Ozempic played a part in his weight-loss journey. “Ozempic says you may only have two pieces of your favorite stuff.” The “Lean Back” rapper has been transparent about using Ozempic, although it has stirred up controversy in Hollywood.
Fat Joe had also been an advocate for health and healthcare. He has worked closely with politicians to address hidden healthcare costs. He recently released a PSA urging healthcare providers to be transparent about their prices.
