"He looks fantastic," weight loss expert Dr. Stuart Fischer, author of The Park Avenue Diet, told RadarOnline.com. "But the truth is Yo-yo dieting is among the worst therapies imaginable! He's at risk for heart attack, and stroke and at least 60 other illnesses!"

"Obesity is a massive cause of everything from prostate cancer, asthma, stroke, diabetes and heart failure," said Dr. Fischer. "If he had any of those when he was fat…he's still at risk…and probably weaker now."
