Right-wing rapper Yoav Eliasi, known as the "Shadow" (Hatzel in Hebrew), has shed forty kilograms (88 pounds) in five months. Writing on his Facebook page, Eliasi revealed that he had decided to lose weight due to a difficult and complicated health situation. "In six months I became both a diabetic and a high cholesterol and fat in the blood. My life was in danger and the doctors did not understand how it happened. True, I had excess weight but not at the level of such results. In deeper tests, I discovered a dangerous bacterium in the stomach. I underwent surgery and it was made clear to me that if I did not balance my life and start to look after myself, I would not get to celebrate my daughter's birthday.

Eliasi credited "a diet regime in which I eat something small every three hours, a training regimen" and a food supplement "that accelerated my metabolism to the sky." Saying there's no such thing as a panacea, he said he decided to become a spokesman for the supplement and reached an agreement with its manufacturer to send a percentage of the revenues to lone soldiers and other soldiers. He said the left will have to find a new way to make fun of him.
