Back in September, Biz Markie revealed that he had lost 140 pounds and gone from 385 to 244
pounds over a three-year period following his type 2 diabetes diagnosis, according to the NY Daily
News. And the "Just a Friend" rapper didn't use lap band surgery or any quick fix. Now, Markie is
opening up to People magazine on how he lost all the weight.BizMarkie says, "I think the misconception
is that they think diabetes is just about sugar. It's more than that, you gotta get your weight down.
You just gotta get everything cleansed out of your body." Markie, 50, says he sticks to an "overall diet."
"Instead of drinking regular sodas, I drink Zevia because it's a natural soda," Markie said. "I don't eat
as crazy as I used to. I used to eat like a whole Entenmann's cake at one time, with a half-gallon of milk."
He also gave three tips, including "Cleanse, more water in your diet, and either walk or exercise."
