Black people, step your game up. Lose the weight and the fat, get healthy! Use this as motivation to lose them next five pounds. Step your game up!

IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO WATCH YOUR WEIGHT AND STAY IN TUNE WITH YOUR DOCTOR

no offense , but have not you thought about deaf ppl when ya posted video we can’t hear them? then pls do better the next time !

It doesn’t means to only lose weight…but be healthy! Do you know what healthy is, it ain’t easy…oh boy you have to read every ingredients you are purchasing , of course I am serious deadly! If it says Sucralose on it…No food for you ,get the next item. But you will miss it because Sucralose is on almost every food even treats, It is like a Corn Syrup or High Fructose that you have to avoid also.

Not just fat people… everyone ,no matter if they in great shape, they also have to watch what they eat 2! It is because we recently just heard they are trying save our lives from those dangerous additives…. If they wanna live longer a healthy life then eat it! Vitamin ain’t gotta help to absord bad things, I know it nasty because most stuffs are all natural coming from Healthy Choice, Smart Meal, etc.

I been on diet for a long by drinking diet cola but someone told me to not drink it because it has high fructose, that why I was gaining . If it ain’t healthy then ya aint lose weight. Healthy and losing weight is all in same tune .

America as an entire country, no matter what community you are a part of, is facing an obesity epidemic and it’s spreading to the children. I’ve said hundreds of dollars and lost hundreds of pounds by cooking my own food. If I want a burger I make it myself. It’s healthier cause the grease is drained from it and much more delicious because I can add veggies to the mixture. I literally emptied out my cabinets and gave all teh bad food away and filled it up with whole grain side dishes and the fridge with fresh fruits and veggies. The freezer is stuffed with delectable things to make natural fruit smoothies with and I use yogurt for my smoothie base. Trust me when I say that when people come to visit they know to bring their own food and drinks. LOL. But I feel great, energized, and much more beautiful which is a added benefit.

divinvewomaningod….what u mean by tha…abf deaf people

first off..

its more dangerous being skinny than it is being fat. over eating is bad but under eating is worse. secondly, everyone has a different body shape and mass. so not everyone is intended to be little. sometimes what u eat has nothing to do with your size. i know skinny people who eat way too much and i know big people who dont eat enough at all.

who gives a f**k. its not about how u look. its about health. i wish somebody would tell me im wrong because i got a gut. id tell em to kiss my fat black ass right after i ate some beans and white castle’…….

im glad Banner is better…… eat healthy, dont starve yourself.

No one needs to be made fun of because of their weight. I don’t condone that. I am a skinny dude but don’t make fun of bigger folks.

Everybody has a right to do what they want to do…It’s cool

too bad he still alive

much love to david banner losing the weight. i’m skinny but eat like a fat person. no offense meant to anyone on that one. genetics plays a part in how you look & all. the women in my family are big while the guys are small.

I just feel like this its about time more rappers singers and people as a whole have to wake up and say enough is enough and stop stuffing your face with uneccesary food and drugs and anything else that may hurt your body your family and friends

More people need to be conscious of their weight effects on our bodies. Not saying everyone should be 110lbs but everyone should be mindful of the food we intake and how our body responds to it.

I know how hard it is to lose
weight I know that just by
listening to David Banner’s
video about his weight lost
Journey I can appreciate the
time he took to share with us
the effects the way his gain
affected him. I will always
remain determined to watch my
weight for the right reasons
not the wrong. I hope we all
can learn from his experience
his story inspired me to stay
focused always.

he still sexy to me, but im glad he lost the weight!!!!

DAVID BANNER LOOKS GOOD. OK IF U R ASS LOOKS LIKE BIGGIE SMALLS UGLY ASS DONT NOT TAKE U R SHIRT CUZ THAT IS NOT SEXY THATS JUST GROSS.

Great way to talk about the dead Tikishawn32….

hell, they guy was a fat slob with man breasts. he lost the weight, which is a life style change, and that’s a GOOD thing.

as far as biggie smalls, he was a fat greasy slob. him being dead doesn’t make him any less fat, greasy or sloppy.

I think that for the most part, there is a double standard when it comes to obesity; obese/overweight men are not attacked for their weight like women are.

Look at the photos of those performers–they have their shirts off, proud of their weight, even though it’s a major health issue. Rick Ross has this image of being ladies’ man, as did Fat Joe and others. They are financially successful.

However, very rarely will we find a big woman who is as successful as these men are. Added to that, the women would not be considered sex symbols or attractive. Latifah (one of my favorite actresses)is an exception, but only financially; she is still not really regarded as a sexy woman. Really, there is no one else whom I can think of who is at the level that many of these men are–and these men are not in the least attractive.

fat is not sexy it’s just fat!!!!

I have always been a fan of David Banner whether he was a lil healthier or in shape. If he got in shape for health reasons, then good for him. Why should we sit around and try and tell other people how to live their lives and what to eat. Nobody has the perfect body and that what makes everyone on this earth different.

i dont think anyone thinks these fat guy entertainers are sexy even the women that lay down with em its the money and lifestyle of course ive found out looks are not everything and i get my fare share of fine women but its niggas out here thats a 2 on the scale pullin 10s its more about personality

I just love everyones outlook on what people should look like that’s very shallow of you guys to say, if they are big and healthy so then be it, lettem live, they’ll be fine. They don’t give a damn about your perception of sex appeal, you don’t s**t what they eat so if they’re happy then it’s fine.

I think David Banner was sexier when he was big. But if he had to lose the weight for his health, it’s all good.

WAKE UP CALL

I think its awesome that he took his health seriously and did something about it…so good for him…thats awesome

well if its for his health its ok ,and not because people feel he should but i love a big man i hope he dont go to far and loss to much.he’s sexy ass hell to me as a big man so get off big man d**k.i still love him big and all.

NO MATTA WaT HE LooKED LiKED BiG OR NoT HE STiLL SeXiiE & FiNE AS HELL BuH GOOD THiNG HE AiNT DiE OR NOTHiN HAPPEND TO HiM.

We are proud of you for making a difference in everyones life for your sacrafice. Now our people should realize that obesity isn’t meant for us at all
Thanx David Banner

Im so happy that he speaks properly oppose to this universal “slang” spoken by everyone in the industry (example anyone who host 106 and park)

I’m proud of David Banner because African Americans are at a high risk of diabetes and high blood pressure.

I am very proud of him losing his weight. Now i am a full figure sister. but i am trying to lose weight but my problem is the weight has come from medication. How can you lose weight while you on predisone any suggestions. It is so f**king hard.

Its a shame to get so many negative comments for someone that is doing something to better themselves and most of the rappers up there are or were Great rappers and i dont look at any of them negativly just because they are not the size i want them to be. There are alot of handsome guys that are on the heavy side that are truely handsome and i would talk to them if they didnt have money…..as long as there heart was in the right place. You guys forget that showing hate or dislike towards a certain social group is called being prejudice. Can somebody report on something positive for a change….most of you guys could mess up a Wet Dream…..

this is old. diabetes.

I feel u Brownsugar310 i been on prednisone nd it never clicked that, that was the reason its hard to lose weight…i respect anyone who knows they have a problem and do what they have to do to correct it

Thank you for your support on helping. I am so proud of david banner losing his weight.

its good to see you doing the right thing

Job well done Bae!! You know we gotta keep our bodies healthy!! Learn to eat in moderation. I’m from Mississippi too and i can’t lie, i LOVE the collard greens, homemade mac ‘n’ cheez, homemade caramel cake and the candid yams,and barbecue ribs…but you gotta watch what you eat and how much!! Lets not over do it black people!!!! God gave you that body now lets show him thanks and at least take care of it before he take it away from us

Three words: Rick Ross picture….Now I love me some plus size men, but… David Banner glad he’s doing better and that his health prevailed.

For the people who posted about their weight issues and medication intake, yes, weight gain from medication is no joke. Been there and it took a lot for me to drop what I lost, but I never gave up no matter how stubborn the weight was.
I am a firm believe that it’s all about what eat. Food can be healing, if you eat the right things. For example, ginger, great for upset stomachs and nausea. Fennel, asparagus, great for digestion. Bilberries, blueberries, Sweet Potatoes, Beets, great antioxidants and awesome for the eyes and skin. Dark green veggies like lettuce, broccoli, brussel sprouts… plant based veggies/herbs like alfafa, watercress, beansprouts, green and black tea…. these all are great healing foods for the body. Reducing if not eliminating your red meat intake… Change your eating and exercise routing in “baby steps”… weaning yourself off the foods that could be responsible for the meds you’re taking.
A detox is a good start- with the supervision and approval of one’s doctor of course- could help remove a lot of the toxins that is causing and/or aggrivating the ailments one is taking medication for. Walking, any basic cardio exercise 30 minutes a day, 4-5 times a week helps. The key is, even if you don’t see or feel the difference for a while, DON’T STOP!! For those who gained weight from a medication or just because, when you put in the effort and stick to it no matter what, trust me, you WILL notice a HUGE difference! You’ll look better, get comments from family and friends, your health will gradually improve, and might even notice you might not have to take those medications or if you do, it’s at a reduced level of milligrams. Build a support system around you so people can help you stay the course. You will notice great results in your health, looks, and esteem.

I think he is a wonderful example and inspiration for those of us who are trying to shed pounds. It can be done.

GREAT JOB DAVID!

Many of the artists in the photos (Rick Ross, Fat Joe, etc) are appalling. These men are sweaty, flabby…Rick Ross has his pants sagging so low you can see his underwear! It is totally unattractive.

Too much fat is unattractive anyway, but I think it’s 10x worse for a man to be the size these guys (in the photo) are. Men are not supposed to be soft, round, and have breasts.

Fat joe look like Moby dick drying off with a towel. Rick Ross looks like a tatted up sea creature. Biz Mark looks like a big lip Octupus. Bone Crusher looks like a sweaty ass hamhock that goes in greens. The fatboys are the only ones could rock fat mam come on.

I am Sorry but BEanie Sigel does not look like he should really br on that list….he is a lil heave but not huge. Hmmm there is just sonmething about him!

this is a great article. good post. postive message.

DANG THATS DEEP AT BEING 235 ALMOST KILLED HIM.

man some ppl are us big i mean if significant wiehgt gain cause his health issues that on him but hes kool now…. im a big gurl always have been and im perfectly healthy,

Looking at that pic of Big Pun reminded me just how morbidly obese he actually was. Wow, I’d forgotten that. David Banner made a really good point in that fat is relative and your overall health is the bottom line. I have an ex who looked fine weight-wise because he was tall & big but he suffered a heart attack in his 20s, really high blood pressure, had sleep apnea, and was at a real risk for diabetes. He lost the weight unhealthily and still has all of those issues excepting sleep apnea. Women often worry about their weight but not their health. I know big girls who think they’re healthy but they aren’t and skinny girls who think they’re healthy but they aren’t. People forget that exercise and a proper/well-balanced/nutritious diet is the bottom line. Starving yourself, overeating, not exercising, and not getting your vitamins and minerals are all potentially dangerous and by definition unhealthy.

IMO, Cee-Lo (at least in that pic) and Beanie Siegle should not be on that list. Plus, Beanie was eating a grilled chicken salad… come on, Urban Daily!!!

ur not healthy if ur fat.. i’m not healthy & I’m skinny!!

UGH RICK ROSS NEEDA KEEP HIS DAMN SHIRT ON, HE UGLY ASS HELL AS IT IS

http://www.leadsleap.com/opportunity.php?referid=Boom09

i love you anyway you are David!! But I totally understand where you are coming from!

he has always been sexy to me! Love ya David Banner!!!!

I’ve always thought David Banner was sexy but now he’s even more sexy with the weight off. The rest of them dudes, with the exception of Beanie Siegel, need to keep their damn clothes on. I’ve always like Beanie as well…

david banner was good the way he was but nothing is wrong with a lil prgress keep it up david wit yo sexy self

David Banner is FINE!! always has been and the weight loss just added to it!! keep it up DB…

This man is talking bout living and dying, and all the comments are about sexy??? LMAO!!!

i weigh 138

wanna talk about PHAT??? theres collectible hip hop playing cards that are comin out soon that will change the game 4 sho. check em out. seen em on myspace – type ‘tripstopnovelties’ in the search!!!! dont say i didnt warn ya!!

[...] Watch David Banner talking about how his weight almost killed him [...]

like he said, appearance iz nuttin, health iz evrathang.

too much pork, too much fried foods, too much candy sugar junk food sodas etc etc…… eatin too much garbage……..what we EAT is why we all f**ked up and sick all the time, dying young and broke while doctors pimp us for medications/drugs……..

Im gald that he made that choice to lose the weight, diabetes is extermely hard to have and deal with, I can relate to the “almost killed” me part, being unheatlhly and having all that weight to actually carry, years ago I learned that I had type 2 diabetes my doctors told me that I had to lose my weight for my health, in one year I went from 332 to 220, dieting, no diet pills, no surgey, no magic wand, it can be done.. Im gald he did it for his health…so congrats david

whatever shyt is dumb
