Gotta see these pictures of 50cent after dropping butloads of weight, 50odd pounds.  That was in 9 weeks, reportedly.  How did he do it?  Apparently he skipped the diet pills and went straight to 3 hours a day on the treadmill and starving himself.  All his food was "liquid" and he said he was "starving" all the time.

I'd like to compare the way he looks in the picture to the way he has always looked.  In one he looks like he's energetic, buff, confident, and ready to have sex five times before breakfast, and in the other he looks like the cancer-ridden charactor he is trying to portray in his new movie, so it works out for him.

It goes without saying that I won't recommend starving yourself and aerobic work for losing weight.  Gotta hand it to him for determination.
