MOM CHER fears son CHAZ will endanger his life with a drastic weight-loss diet that may kill him, say sources.
Chaz Bono has dropped an astonishing 40 pounds – but his mom Cher is worried his drastic weight-loss program could kill him, say sources.
Desperate to get into shape for his upcoming wedding to 35-year-old girlfriend Jennifer Elia, 5-foot-5 Chaz is sweating through agonizing two-to-three-hour daily workouts – and is restricting himself to a rigid 2,000- calorie-a-day diet.
Cher has warned her transgender son against jeopardizing his life with a risky get-slim-quick scheme, which could lead to a heart attack, stroke or worse.
Chaz appears thinner and more toned since beginning the program six months ago – and he wants to drop another 30 pounds for his wedding in early 2012.
“Cher’s worried sick that Chaz is risking his health to lose weight,” an insider told The ENQUIRER.
“She’s begging him to cut back his intense dieting and workouts. She’s worried that if Chaz keeps up this pace his heart could explode.”
New York weight-loss expert Dr. Craig Title believes Cher’s fears are well-grounded. He says transgender men are at an increased risk of heart attack and stroke if taking hormones at a high level.
“Jumping right into a strenuous routine can be very dangerous for someone who isn’t accustomed to an intense workout.”
