American Idol’s top “dawg”,Randy Jackson,once peaked in at 350 pounds. It wasn’t until he was diagnosed in 2001 with Type 2 diabetes that Randy finally decided to do something about his weight. After much consideration, Randy opted to have gastric bypass surgery in 2003 and has now lost over 100 pounds.However, anyone who is familiar with Gastric Bypass knows that the operation is not the final solution to weight loss. Randy discovered that soon after the operation:he started gaining a lot of his old weight back. That’s when Randy decided to committ himself to eating the right foods and kick-starting his fitness routine.  The task of eating healthier foods wasn’t easy for the Louisiana boy: ”I grew up in the South,” he says, “where food and good times were king.”

Randy now shares his good eating habits with his family:daughter Taylor 18(with ex-wife Elizabeth Jackson),Zoe,13,and Jordan,11 with wife Erika.”There are lots of fruits and vegetables in the house, and we now have corn without the bread.”

 

…….DID YOU KNOW?………..
