Markie also opened up on how he preferred to drink Zevia instead of regular sodas because it is relatively natural. Likewise, he also stopped eating like he used to do in the past, which he labeled as 'crazy.'

When it comes to advising others, he gave three tips, 'cleanse, more water in your diet, and either walk or exercise.'

Why Did Biz Markie Lose Weight?

For a food-lover like Biz Markie, it is not in his best interest to work out to cut down on some weight. In fact, it was a forced decision for the rap icon as he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2012. That was it when it occurred to him how his life was in a huge threat. In an interview with ABC News, he made the bold statement as 'I wanted to live' as the main reason for cutting down on the weight.

Since Biz was diagnosed with diabetes, he didn't have many options, rather than cutting down on some pounds. If he didn't make changes to his lifestyle, the condition was going to be much worse. For the 56-year-old, the primary objective was to get off the Diabetes meds, and he was halfway through by 2014. When the doctors warned him that he could even lose his feet or other body parts, he was quite scared and got serious enough in his pursuit to get lighter.
