50 Cent

50 Cent's Diet

50 cent recently had to slim down for a part in the movie, Things Fall Apart, as he was playing the roll of a cancer pantient. 50 cent is well known for being a well built guy with a fair bit of muscle so it was to everyones surprise when they saw a picture of him 9 weeks into his diet and exercise regime and a staggering 54 pounds lighter!

He did it using a liquid diet which are generally low in calories (about 1000 per day) and leave you feeling pretty hungry. 50 cent was quoted as saying that he was starving during this weight loss period.

Liquid diets are obviously used for losing alot of weight in a short space of time, but the rate at which you lose the weight is certainly not healthy and not something that would be recommended for anyone wishing to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight long term. In 50 cent's case he was losing the weight for a film roll, and was not trying to lose weight for image purposes so the likelyhood of it transforming into an eating disorder was less, but still remained a dangerous rate of weight loss.

Another attraction to a liquid diet is that it allows the dieter to still have sweet sugary drinks which although may taste good at the time and give you a quick energy boost it will not keep you full for long which will result in you constantly being hungry and uncomfortable.

So unless you have a multi-million pound movie you need to lose weight for you should try and stick to a more healthy and balanced diet without the suffering!
