Donald Trump has always been open about his weight, even joking about his wide load when he stepped on the scale at the Dr. Oz show to discuss his health in 2016. But what exactly does Trump eat to keep his weight down? Does he follow any special diet or exercise routine? And if so, how can you do it too? Here’s what we know about Trump’s diet and how it compares to yours—along with some good reasons why you should consider eating like The Donald.

Fasting, Sound Sleep, and Exercise

• Donald Trump revealed on The Dr. Oz Show that he frequently fasts for up to 12 hours at a time and gets his best rest. I think it’s an amazing thing for health, said Donald about fasting. In addition to eating well and avoiding junk food, Donald also stays active with golfing and tennis matches on weekends. The one thing I've learned to do is separate a little time in your schedule to take care of yourself. he said, referring to taking time away from work to enjoy hobbies like golfing and tennis or staying physically active through various sports such as baseball, basketball, boxing, canoeing/kayaking, or running.

What Does Donald Eat?

• If you’re wondering what Mr. Donald Trump eats to maintain his figure, look no further than his four golden rules of eating: Rule #1 is that he doesn’t trust any restaurant he hasn’t operated. As such, when dining out, Trump dines at establishments he owns or has a significant stake in and avoids restaurants that aren’t part of his empire. He orders meatloaf—his favorite meal—or hamburgers in true The Apprentice-style: half-pound patties with condiments on a plain bun (no cheese or other extras). Regarding drinks, he only drinks diet soda and tea.

Staying Away From Sugar and Processed Foods

• Sugar, when consumed regularly in high quantities, has been linked to obesity and a host of other diseases. Additionally, it’s extremely addictive; many people will get a sugar craving soon after eating or drinking something that contains sugar. Processed foods contain tons of unhealthy fats and sugars, as well as other additives (hello preservatives!) you probably don’t want to put into your body. The fewer processed foods you eat, the healthier you’ll be—and keeping your weight down is easier when you aren’t consuming excess sugar and fat every day. Most folks find they are more focused and energetic on a diet free of sugar and processed foods—so why not try it out? You have nothing to lose but some extra pounds!

Eating at Night

• Contrary to popular belief, eating at night is not necessarily a bad thing for weight loss. While it may seem counterintuitive at first, nutritionists agree that eating more frequently throughout your day can help you lose weight. The reason? So-called night carbs—found in pasta, pieces of bread, and anything else with refined sugars or starches—are easily digested and therefore don't keep your blood sugar levels as steady as whole grains do. Staying on top of your nighttime eating habits could be one simple way to slim down quickly. Better yet, opt for natural sources of energy such as fruit instead of baked goods or chips when cravings strike after dark; they'll provide lasting fuel while you sleep, so you won't wake up craving more junk food!

Snacking Smartly

• It’s easy to scarf down on potato chips and other high-calorie snacks, but these kinds of treats won’t leave you feeling full for long. On top of that, many processed snacks are loaded with salt, which can lead to water retention and serious bloating. Instead, opt for lighter fare such as fresh veggies (try carrots or snap peas) or hummus paired with whole-grain crackers. And a handful of nuts is an ideal substitute for chips when you want something crunchy in your hand. Nuts can also help keep hunger at bay since they are dense in protein and fiber while being low in calories. Craving something salty?

Taking Supplements

• It’s a constant battle to stay fit, but many men have turned to diet supplements as an answer. While Donald Trump’s love of fast food may be bad for his waistline, he still tries to take in as many vitamins and minerals as possible via dietary supplements. Vitamin C is a particular favorite of The Donald; he says it gives him energy and helps him resist getting sick. Researchers agree that increasing your intake of vitamin C can help bolster immune function—making it a good choice when fighting off that cold or flu you picked up during your morning jog. If you’re going to buy just one supplement, though, make sure it’s fish oil.
