Former US Secretary Of State; Mike Pompeo’s Amazing Transformation

Losing weight is hard, and it’s even harder when you are overweight but then no one is going to be able to look out for YOU like YOU!

There are lots of different ways to lose weight, from working out and eating right, etc.

US former Secretary of State; Mike Pompeo in an interview with the New York Post detailed the story behind his journey and daily routine to weight loss.

Pompeo said losing weight has been “a lifetime struggle” but became especially difficult after he was elected to Congress in 2010.

He says he’s been hitting the gym and laying off junk food since leaving the Trump administration. The healthy change helped him lose 90 pounds in 6 months and his before-and-after photos are incredible.

It all started on June 14, 2021, when Mike Pompeo stepped on the scale and saw he was just pounds away from 300 for the first time in his life. The next morning, he said, he woke up and told his wife, Susan: “Today is the day.”

Then, Mike Pompeo said, “I started exercising, not every day, but nearly every day, and eating right, and the weight just started to come off.”

Pompeo said there were no fad diets, expensive personal training, or intense workout regimens involved in his weight loss.

“I tried to get down there five, six times a week and stay at it for a half-hour or so. And that was nothing scientific. There was no trainer, there was no dietitian. It was just me,” Pompeo told the Post.

Pompeo said that working in government and especially in a top position like secretary of state involved long workdays and travel days fueled by lots of food — especially cheeseburgers.

“You can ask anybody on my team, they knew exactly what I was going to do: cheeseburger from room service. I went back to the room and kept working, and ate my cheeseburger. That was my pattern of life,” Pompeo said of his routine during days when he was traveling abroad. “When you work and eat, you just keep working and you just keep eating.”

Pompeo said that his family still enjoys plenty of meals and trips to iHop — but he skips the pumpkin pancakes doused in syrup. “Now we get egg whites and turkey bacon,” he told the Post.

“For our family, food is where we gather. We are Italian and we like to get together around a good meal of pasta and bread and cheeses and dessert. We are still going to enjoy these big meals with family and friends except I am going to be the guy that says, ‘Yeah, I’ll have a salad,'” he added.

The former secretary of state and Kansas congressman is also a potential 2024 presidential contender.
