Former USC running back LenDale White lost 30 pounds during the off-season, according to an Associated Press story Sunday. How did he do it? He stopped drinking alcohol.

‘I was drinking a lot,’ White, who now plays for the Tennessee Titans, told AP. ‘I cut that out of my diet all the way. I don’t drink at all.’

The weight, he says, ‘started falling off.’

White’s favorite beverage was tequila, which cost him 65 calories per 1 ounce serving.
