Fat Joe credits cutting carbs and Ozempic for 200-pound weight loss
Last year, the rapper - real name Joseph Cartagena - revealed that he had shed 215 pounds (97 kilograms) amid his health journey having tipped the scales at 470 pounds (213 kilograms) at one point. Speaking to Us Weekly before serving as host of the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday night, Joe explained that portion control and eating fewer carbohydrates helped him maintain his slimmed-down physique. "We just try to eat everything with the least carbs as possible. So, we try to stay away from the bread, the pasta, the rice. That's the smartest way to eat."
