Biz Markie Slims Down, Loses 140 Pounds [Photos]

worse. I’m trying to get off [the Diabetes meds]. The way you gotta do it is lose the weight. I’m off half my meds, I just got to get off the rest.

Biz said the thought of losing his limbs terrified him:

They said I could lose my feet. They said I could lose body parts. A lot of things could happen.

Biz has partnered with Zevia, a zero-calorie soda, to help with his diet.

Instead of drinking regular soda, I drink Zevia to make you believia! I love that there’s alternatives to eating, because I want to live.

He adds that his work schedule (he’s touring with Yo Gabba Gabba!) assists healthy eating:

On the Yo Gabba Gabba! Tour, we eat organic…I don’t pig out.

He adds:

When I used to be on stage, I used to be out of breath, I couldn’t walk that far. Now, I got so much energy. I can do a whole show.
