Eminem has spoken out to reveal how he managed to lose weight and develop a healthier lifestyle following his addiction to prescription medication. The Detroit rapper spoke with Men’s Journal to reveal, “In 2007, I overdosed on pills, and I went into the hospital. I was close to 230 pounds. I’m not sure how I got so big, but I have ideas. The coating on the Vicodin and the Valium I’d been taking for years leaves a hole in your stomach, so to avoid a stomach ache, I was constantly eating — and eating badly.” However, Eminem has slimmed down again now, in part!Pdue to O OCS YTIRBELEC YLIAD ROF his exercise regime, which includes running and boxing. He continued, “When I got out of rehab, I needed to lose weight, but I also needed to figure out a way to function sober. Unless I was blitzed out of my mind, I had trouble sleeping.

Eminem joked, “I became a f**king hamster,” adding, “Seventeen miles a day on a treadmill. I would get up in the morning, and before I went to the studio, I would run eight and a half miles in about an hour. Then I’d come home and run another eight and a half. I started getting OCD about the calories, making sure I burned 2,000 every day. In the end I got down to about 149 pounds.” However, this new addiction wasn’t without it’s drawbacks, “I ran to the point where I started to get injured. All the constant pounding from the running began to tear up my hip flexors.” Eminem decided to ease off on the running, revealing, “When I was starting to dial back on the treadmill, I tried out some of those workout DVDs you do at home. I know a lot of these DVD guys are wacky, but I’m alone in my gym; I need someone on the TV yelling to motivate me… I guess I’m pretty compulsive working out. I feel like if I step away from it for too long, if I have a crazy week and take a five-day break, it’ll be like starting over. I’m afraid that if it goes beyond that, I might lose the motivation. Once you’re at a place where you’ve made progress and you’ve got some time invested in it, you don’t wanna quit and give up what you started.” Like
