*To many, rapper Heavy D looked better than ever on BET’s Hip Hop Music Awards show, keeping up with the dancers and reciting classic lyrics everyone knows.
His shape was no accident. The rapper had begun a weight loss plan and kept a regular workout regime. Although he weighed 344 pounds at the time of death, he was on his way to better health.
Tony Wisniewski, the rapper’s trainer at the Ultra Body Fitness gym in Los Angeles, set Heavy up on a fitness plan three months before his death. Wisniewski is the same trainer that helped him lose 150 pounds back in 2008.
Heavy also knew that if wanted to kick his acting career into high gear he would have to lose some heft. So he dad. in 2002 he shed 135 pounds.
the rapper/actor shared with reporters at the 2003 Television Critics Association this advice from a director.
“I went on a couple auditions, and one director was kind enough to say, ‘Look, you would’ve had this part but you’re not fitting, you’re stifling yourself.’ He was right. I kind of always knew it in the back of my mind.”
Sadly, like Luther he didn’t lose the weight and get his health under control in time.

The problem was the 100-200+ weight swings. You can’t keep repeatedly going up and down in large amounts like that. If you’re going to loose more than a few pounds, you have to be prepared to do what is necessary to maintain that new lower weight. If you’re not willing to do what is necessary, you’re probably better off staying the larger size you are and making sure that you don’t get any larger. Most overweight people do tend to plateau at a particular weight and hover around there. The drastic weight swings back and forth are very, very bad for the body and do more harm than good. You’d be better off trying to live as well as you can at the weight that you can honestly maintain. You’ll probably live longer too.
