According to Sharpton, he shed a lot of his weight by simply not eating, saying that he shed two pounds a week. He says that he restricted himself to only eating a single salad with a chopped egg during the day.
“I was absolutely content just doing the salad,” he said. “As a kid who grew up chubby, I just marveled at the fact that I could be thin.”
However, his doctor saw his extreme diet as unhealthy and urged him to add at least green juice, a banana, and three slices of plain toast to his diet.
