Ever wonder how MSNBCs Al Sharpton has been able to lose so much weight over the last several years? A new profile in the New York Daily News reveals the one major thing he cut from his diet: dinner.
Its not simply that he hasnt had any sweets in years, the Daily News Justin Rocket Silverman writes. He hasnt had dinner in years, either. Sharpton has reportedly gone from a high of 305 pounds all the way down to precisely 129.6, without the use of methods like surgery or diet pills.
I could take all the cartoons in the tabloid newspapers, but I couldnt take my daughter punching me in the belly and asking why I was so fat, Sharpton said.. That was my inspiration to lose the weight. And probably the last time anyone hurt my feelings.
Sharpton reportedly went from eating fried chicken three times a day as early as six years ago, to eating a single salad for lunch all day, every 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.
Theres much, much more about the incredible shrinking Sharpton, plus a video of his workout routine, at nydailynews.com.

Friends of Clayton Transit: Push For MARTA Transit to Return to Clayton County, Georgia
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.-- Assistant Chief Edward Delatorre directed police to replace the burnt headlight of Gwen Carr--the mother of chokehold victim Eric Garner-- to promote community relations and to avoid the ire of Rev. Al Sharpton, according to the New York Post.
The Post claims that Delatorre--who is the NYPD's borough commander for Staten Island-- told union delegates that he felt sympathetic toward Ms. Carr as a mother who had lost her son and that he also wanted to avoid conflict with Rev. Sharpton.
Pat Lynch, president of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association (PBA), has called for the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau to investigate the accusation, according to a press release from the PBA.
Ms. Carr of Staten Island said she never asked for any special treatment by the NYPDwhen her vehicle was pulled over on Staten Island for a burned out headlight on Oct. 21.
According to the Post, Ms. Carr called Delatorre that night shortly after the incident occurred to complain.
"I have never made any special requests of the NYPD and I have never had Assistant Chief Delatorre's number," Ms. Carr said in a statement released by Jacky Johnson, a spokeswoman for Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
"The only thing I have ever requested of the NYPD was what any mother would ask, which is the arrest for the killing of my son," Ms. Carr said.
She added, "I have no animosity towards the police. I just want to see justice for my son."
Eric Garner, 43, died on July 17 after an altercation with police in Tompkinsville during an attempted arrest for selling loose cigarettes. The medical examiner later ruled that the death was a homicide with a police chokehold as a factor.
