After reports merged that rapper Eminem had ballooned to more than 200 pounds, following a recent health scare (see "Eminem Recovering After Health Scare Over The Holidays"), weight loss gurus, Slim Fast, have stepped up and offered the rapper a program to help him lose the extra pounds.
Via a report from OK! magazine, a spokesperson for the company said they are offering Eminem a program, which would include their product as well as assistant to help him in sticking with it.
"Slim-Fast is a program that can really work for someone like Eminem; it's a doable and flexible approach," the spokesperson told the magazine. "Slim-fast would love to offer Eminem product and assistance to help him become a potential S-F success story."
According to the report, Slim Fast said they'd put Eminem on a 1900 calorie-a-day diet, which would include three Slim Fast Shakes per day, helping him get back to his Slim alter-ego.
Eminem has yet to respond to the offer, nor his recent health scare over the holidays in which he reportedly suffered from severe pneumonia and a heart condition.
