Mike Huckabee Used To Be Super Fat
February 11, 2008
...until BREAKFAST saved his life!
In 2002, Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee weighted 280 pounds. Climbing a flight of stairs would leave him panting and sweating like a pig. He could barely fit his large butt into seats in airplanes and theaters. He once sat in an antique chair at the state Capitol and it collapsed.
But there was nothing funny about the effects of obesity on his health. The Republican candidate was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He experienced chest pains and feared heart disease. Physicians told him that he would not live more than ten years if he did not lose weight.
Facing certain death, "The Huckster" went on a diet. According to the New York Times, "it was as if he simply unzipped a fat suit and stepped out." In the course of a year, the Governor lost over 100 pounds.
How did he do it? He began to eat right, eliminating almost all junk food. His diet consisted of many small meals each day. He got serious about exercise and even ran the New York City Marathon in 2006. But there was something else.
In a live 2005 internet chat with Newsweek readers, Mick Huckabee said, "NEVER skip breakfast... I cook my own breakfast each day."
The scientific community has known the weight loss properties of breakfast for some time. Researchers from the National Weight Control Registry found that eating breakfast every day was a weight control strategy for 78% of successful dieters.
According to a Harvard study, people who miss breakfast are four times more likely than others to become obese.
Mike Huckabee knows first-hand what breakfast can do. So the question remains: when will he announce a policy on the importance of breakfast? When will he share his secret weight loss weapon with the world?
According to independent candidate for President, Mr Breakfast, "I don't dig his politics, but I like his ideas on nutrition."
