In his recent video, Fat Joe aka Joseph Cartagena lost 100lbs.

He had to lose the weight because of health reasons, according to reports. He was apparently inspired to get in shape after watching an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

‘All of the people on Oprah lost like 100lbs. I was like, “Oh my God, I gotta get on this diet,”‘ he said.

He lost the weight by taking carbohydrates and fried foods out of his diet and working out every day.

What really scares me the most is that I really love to eat. Me being Puerto Rican and not eating rice and beans ..it’s hard,’ he said.
