Forget cutting carbs - Larry Cooper plans to slim his near-half-ton frame by cutting the rug.

"I'm going to do it the way I used to do it, to the music," Cooper, 36, vowed yesterday from his bed at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, where rescue workers took him after he had trouble breathing Wednesday.

The 900-pound man, a one-time break-dancing instructor from Washington Heights, said the scare convinced him to end a decade-long eating binge and shed the weight by dancing.

"Everything wrong with me is because of my weight," he said, breathing heavily from an oxygen tube and unable to walk.
