Following the release of a report by Donald Trump’s physician praising his “excellent” health and “reduced” weight, there has been growing speculation among the Palm Beach community about how the former president managed to lose weight.
Contrary to rumours that Trump might have used weight loss drugs like Ozempic, however, Page Six suggests that avoiding the Mar-a-Lago buffet and adopting healthier eating habits have been key factors. It’s reported that Trump has lost at least 30 pounds, with people noticing a significant change in his buffet choices. Melania Trump is credited with positively influencing his dietary habits, leading to a noticeable reduction in his consumption of treats like ice cream sundaes and chocolate cake.
In November, Trump’s physician, Dr. Bruce Aronwald of New Jersey, affirmed his excellent health and noted that Trump’s weight loss resulted from an improved diet and regular physical activity. However, some have expressed scepticism about these claims. For instance, in August, when Trump’s weight was reported as 215 pounds during his surrender to Georgia authorities, critics like Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project questioned the accuracy of this information.
Debunking Drug-Use Rumors and Acknowledging Physical Activity
Despite widespread speculation, insiders insist that Trump’s weight loss is not due to the use of popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic or Wegovy. Another source highlighted Trump’s active participation in sports as a contributing factor to his improved physique.
While Trump’s representative did not comment on these speculations, Trump himself reportedly acknowledged the need to “lose some weight” after viewing a courtroom sketch artist’s drawing of him, as reported by ABC News. This self-awareness indicates his recognition of the physical changes he has undergone.
