“I was lucky I did not die of a heart attack [in 2004]. When I had my second heart incident [in 2010] and I had the stents put in, I had passed all my physicals, I was doing great, but I was still building up plaque in my arteries. So I decided that I wanted to see if I could live to be a grandfather, so I just went all the way. Now, I try to eat some salmon once a week, but I don’t miss any of that. Getting rid of the dairy was great, getting rid of the meat was–I just don’t miss it.”

—Bill Clinton, who although may miss the posh lifestyle of his White House years, doesn’t miss his old diet.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie announced he’s undergone lap band surgery to lose weight.

The Reverend Al Sharpton chatted with TMZ on Christie’s life changing health decision, giving his thoughts on losing weight through surgical procedures vs. diet and lifestyle changes.

He said that although he supports losing weight in a more natural way, Christie’s decision to drop pounds through another medical intervention is still an important move.

But if he ever needs advice on eating a tofu steak instead of a lean burger, Sharpton said he can be Christie’s “maintenance man.”
