At age 60 and weighing 130, the once-rotund Sharpton is almost underweight, and he says he's never hungry. His 'secret': Less food, more exercise.
He hasnt had any sweets in years. He hasnt had dinner in years, either.
Call it the Al Sharpton Diet, but this once-rotund reverend has dropped from 305 pounds to exactly 129.6 pounds. The precise weight was recorded this week on Sharptons bedroom scale at 5 a.m., when the man of the (much less) cloth begins his day.
Sharpton has shed 60% of his much-mocked weight and he did it without surgery, diet pills or a single Weight Watchers meeting.
I could take all the cartoons in the tabloid newspapers, but I couldnt take my daughter punching me in the belly and asking why I was so fat, Sharpton recalled. That was my inspiration to lose the weight. And probably the last time anyone hurt my feelings.
That incident with his daughter happened nearly 15 years ago, when she was 12. But it wasnt until more recently that Sharpton devised his strategy to drop the pounds just stop eating.
Thats only a minor simplification.
Around six years ago, Sharpton cut out red meat. A year later, he did away with chicken no small feat for a guy who ate fried fowl three times a day (with grits and eggs for breakfast and on a sandwich in the afternoon, plus a half-chicken for dinner).
Eventually he cut out so much food that he was subsisting on a single lunchtime salad (albeit with one perk: a chopped egg). Thats when the weight really started coming off, at a rate of about 2 pounds a week. And as he got thinner, he found he missed food less and less.

He now weighs 130 lbs. How much would he lose if he lost his ego?
He cut off his head?
I hope he croaks.
You read my mind!
Yet he's still a key advisor to the president of the United States, a well-paid commentator for PMSMSNBC, and millions of blacks along wity white liberals follow him like groupies and keep his coffers well fed.
Yes, Virginia, we live in an upside-down world.

Looks more like he got the AID.
He sold his hubcap pendant?
I dunno, I miss the old Al. He looks like an 80's sitcom character, the wacky, vain, foolish pastor. Now he just looks old and bitter.
Did someone kick the bullshitte out of him?
It’s also known as the ‘Venezuela Diet’.
And being a stoolie for the FBI?
Must have cut off his ass.
Imagine our world if his daughter had punched him in the gut and asked why he was so thin.
He appears to me to be on a low fat, low protein diet.
With that freakish big head of his, I don’t don’t understand how he hasn’t gone Elephant Man and suffocated....
He looks unwell.
I was just thinking the exact same thing, I miss the fat one. the skinny one is no fun at all.
The fat version looked happier and healthier but....... subject to unforeseen heart attack. The skinny Reverend looks sickly
