Eminem

US rapper Eminem weighed close to 230 pounds at the height of his addiction to drugs in 2007, and in a new interview, he recently told how he got there, and how he came out.

The drugs he took gave him stomachache, and to relieve that he was constantly eating. He then began to function sober – by taking up running, doing 17 miles a day.

Before he went to the studio, he would run eight and a half miles in an hour on the treadmill, and when he came back, he did another eight and a half.
