N.O.R.E. Turns Vegan and Loses 65 lbs?!?!

Posted by Bossip Staff

The “e” in N.O.R.E. no longer stands for eating, thank God:

Last year, we saw a much different N.O.R.E. when he surfaced with quite a bit of extra weight on him. However, he’s changing that by getting healthy, and as reportedly lost over 65 pounds.

Via his new blog, 57thAve, the rapper said that via a vegan diet and exercise, he’s been able to shed a few pounds, which he’s been documenting in a 12-part vlog.

Despite the weight-loss, it’s still the same old N.O.R.E. though.

“We are switching it up from the Hang Hang Hood Chicken blogs, to the Hang Hang Hood Vegan blogs. Same N.O.R.E., same hood talk,” he said.

The rapper has begun running, and in September started a hardcore workout, thanks to a weight loss competition with fellow rapper Busta Rhymes.

N.O.R.E. admits that his health turnaround is all part of his New Year’s resolution. And, to top it all off, he’s given up drinking as well.

“Still haven’t had a drink,” he confessed.

Go get it, N.O.R.E, we ain’t mad atcha.  All jokes aside, main man was fat to death, and that is just a bad, bad phrase to use when referencing a man.

    Hey Raquel :)

    Now, not to be petty, but you know what kinds of comments that photo would generate if there were a woman — not this rapper — in the photo. Stats would be pulled and everything, lol.

  6. Raquel26

    Hey Syd! Good Morning!

    Girl…I couldnt sleep so I brought my ***** into work for some overtime. Call me dedicated! lol

  7. Sydney

    @Raquel

    Girl, I don’t blame you. . .Work it out! lol

    In all seriousness, it is good that N.O.R.E. is taking his health more seriously and is blogging about his weight loss experience. Good for him. :)


  8. I looove that Newport chain, so creative. CHAIN-SMOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get it???? lol

  9. PURPPLE

    Hey Syd and Raq26

    He musta read that book Skinny *****, I know NORE my coworker is letting me hold it on tuesday. Did you read Skinny ***** in the Kitch too?

  10. Sydney

    Hey Purp, lol, what’s Skinny B**ch?

  11. crazylegs

    Good Morning people! I’m curious about what Skinny B**ch is too. Please enlighten us Purpple.

  12. PURPPLE

    LOL Sydney when my friend told me the title i cracked up but she said it’s a book about these ladies/friends becoming hard core vegans. I guess my friend is trying to take that path and she asked me have i read it because she’s knows my lifestyle and that i am a loose vegetarian on my long road to veganism. well not truly a vegan because i will still eat fish etc(vegan is not the most healthy lifestyle) but it gives substitutes for everything unhealthy etc like sugar and the like. So its a book about them becoming vegan but moreso about being healthy overall. And the Kitch one I guess is just recipes.

    You know a good article for you to put up would be the approval of cloned meat for sale

  13. PURPPLE

    lol…chello crazylegs…request granted :)

  14. Sydney

    LOL @ Purp

    Thanks, sounds interesting — I always confuse vegans with vegetarians.

    I think I love seafood too much to be either — I love salmon. :)

  15. DIAMONDCHEERS

    thats nice n all but bossip, that pic WTF??

  16. PURPPLE

    LOL@Syd…well you can eat fish and be a vegetarian..theres a technical term for those type of vegetarians, which is what I am right about now. Yumm salmon..!….but you surely wouldn’t be a vegan which is basically the strictest form, absolutely no animal by products period.

  17. Sydney

    @Purp

    LOL, well, in that case, I’ll strive to be a vegetarian because I can’t give up salmon!

    Salmon with steamed broccoli = Scrumptious! :)

  18. BossLa

    Damn, that is just nasty…I think I threw up in my mouth a lil bit…*****in gross…why did this ***** eva think he could let himself go like this? And he’s taking pics of himself. I hope this is for before and after. His stomach look like a damn squid head

  19. Kigali (Channeling her inner Dr. Laura and Judge Judy for Bossip retards)

    Ok yall know what I am going to say about this so I will not bother. Good for N.O.R.E. because he blew up like a building. Vegan cuisines are expensive if you go out to eat but if you get cook books there are alot of meals that are really good. The deserts, believe it or not, are the bomb.

  20. Kigali (Channeling her inner Dr. Laura and Judge Judy for Bossip retards)

    @Sydney,

    Salmon is among the better meats out there. Love the color.

  21. PURPPLE

    o mi o my i feel you Syd on the salmon and broc..i was on salmon overload so i had to take a break..i was watching this program on yellow perch in MD and the wildlife project the other day, i think im going to try that.

  22. Joe Mama

    The pink color in salmon is usually added coloring from fish farms.

  23. Sydney

    @Kigali

    LOL, yes, I think it was Oprah who proclaimed salmon to be the healthiest fish. :)

    @Purp

    I haven’t had yellow perch. I like that you can prepare salmon so many ways, and it really is a good complement to a healthy diet. :)

  24. MeanGurl

    Nore was a nice looking fela back in the day. I’m glad to see that he’s going to do something about his weight..somebody needs to drag BUSTA’S A$$ to see Jenny craig.

    SAY NO TO STEROIDS AND IMPLANTS FOR A QUICK FIX!
    NO SYNTHETICS!!

  25. crazylegs

    @Purp
    Thanks for the info. I’m trying to eat healthier going forward. I was listening to Michael Baisden on the radio & got inspired to get rid of sugar, milk & meat. I’m in the process of gathering info on all healthy alternatives. I can do salmon, will have to check out some recipes on that. NORE is doing something positive by blogging about his weight loss & excerise, good for him.


  26. I vaguely remember meeting this cat in the Chi and he was kinda whack, but his partner Capone was really, really cool

  27. Crazy ***** Rodney

  33. Fake*****HungryHo's

  35. tony

  36. rebecca

    good job….thats inspirational


  37. GO NORE!

    Too many young Black men are having heart attacks due to TOO MUCH SALT (HYPERTENSION), DRINKING and DIABETES. I wish this was at the top of all Blogs.

    You will NOT hear about this healthy challenge on MTV. They like us famous and dead.

    IZ DATA NEWPORT BOX???

  40. MissBlaze43

    He still looks undesireable. I know, that’s just me putting it mildly.

  41. BeanTown

    Vegans Stand up!!!

  42. THE DEVIL

    nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I had hoped he would reach 666lbs. before he decided to make such a drastic decision for the good of his health.

    DAMN HIM! My plans for him have been foiled. Remember Sloath and Greed will always be here for you when you need them NORE and for good measure I’ll throw in lust and anger if you give up now.

  43. sol sol

    hope it works…good on him!

    I personally stay away from meats such as pork and beef. I will eat chicken, turkey, fish, and some other seafood (not factory farmed, no steroids, not corn fed). I no longer eat white bread, but multigrain wheat or honey oat bread. I also use multigrain rice instead of regular bleached rice. I also have Wheaties or Raisin Bran cereal for breakfast instead Frost Flakes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruit Loops etc. Plenty of fruits and vegetables are important. I always have some apples, kiwis, peaches, pears, oranges, and grapes available for a light snack. I always like a side of either spinach, collard greens, or broccoli when eating chicken with rice. I don’t like soy or rice milk, but they do make lactose free cow’s milk. I stopped drinking soda a long time ago. O only drink juice, water, iced tea, or fruit flavored seltzer water.

    Some vegetarian meals are actually very great tasting such veggie burgers made by Morning Star or Boca. For those who complain about the flavor of vegetarian/vegan cuisine. There is a local vegan Jamaican restaurant where some Rastafari, Jamaicans, Ethiopians, Hindus, Hare Krishnas, Seven Day Adventists, health conscious Carribean folks, white health nuts, and old white people (with diabetes) go to eat. Their substitute meats are so good that you’ll believe that you are actually eating real meat. My favorite meal there is veggie stew chicken chunks & multigrain rice and beans, with a bottled coconut water.

    Black people and Latinos need to stay from McDonalds, White Castles, Wendy’s, KFC, Taco Bell, Fat Burger, Popeyes, Church’s Chicken, Planet Wings, and especially the worst of the bunch KENNEDY FRIED CHICKEN!!!. That ***** is the worst!!!! I went there once with a friend (who had the munchies) and that place was packed with blacks and Latinos on a slow suicide mission with bad service at that.


  45. man he really needs to lose at least a little bit more weight maybe he should hand some over to me cuz i really need it

  46. Carla
