Ruben Studdard – Weight Loss Program

R& B, pop, gospel singer, and actor, Ruben Studdard, who gained worldwide recognition after winning the second season of the singing competition series, American Idol, reportedly dropped 112 pounds as a contestant of the reality series The Biggest Loser. Studdard entered the competition weighing a whopping 462 pounds but was happily able to cut the weight down significantly.

Studdard also shared for one interview that the only solution to being overweight is diet, exercise, and discipline, which is why he is, to his credit, continuing to live healthily long after the weight-loss reality program had ended. “It was really time for me to make a change,” he said. “I was about to turn 35, and I was just afraid that some of the things that affected some people that are really close to me would affect me. I most definitely don’t want to leave here early from things that I can prevent.”
