Al Sharpton dishes on his drastic weight loss secrets

So that’s how the Rev. Al stays so thin.

Al Sharpton outlined a super specific diet and workout regimen that for years has helped him maintain his 130-pound weight in a Q&A with GQ Thursday.

The 64-year-old activist turned MSNBC host’s exercise routine has him up at 4 a.m. seven days a week — and he follows a diet that includes three slices of seven-grain toast a day.

“I have to stay at a hotel with a fitness room and that also has seven-grain toast,” he told the magazine.

Sharpton was once over 300 pounds, but the controversial activist has more than halved his size. He’s made tweaks to his routine along the way. When the New York Times reported on his weight loss efforts in 2005, he exercised three times a week and ate two meals a day.

He’s made dietary tweaks along the way, cutting out chicken and adding juices and toast at the advisement of his doctors.

Today, he has a daily menu of:

A banana at 4:15 a.m.

Some protein powder shortly after

One salad and a slice of toast between 11 a.m. and noon

Two more slices at around 6 p.m.

Fish once a week (He hasn’t eaten chicken in seven or eight years.)

A1c is 5.7, so I still have work to do.

Congratulations. For your reference (a bit expensive), they sell self test kits on Amazon: A1CNow+ System (Monitor w/20 Strips) PTS Diagnostics

Is it me or is his head too big. Anyway, he did quite good for a total schister.

Since it makes no difference then, it’s all steak for me now.
