Trump’s Genius Weight Loss Trick
Despite speculation that Trump might have used Ozempic or Wegovy, he insists he lost weight “the hard way” by making small changes to his diet and staying active on the campaign trail.
In a Fox News interview, host Sean Hannity revealed Trump’s weight-loss hack:
“If he has a burger now, he usually doesn’t have it with a bun.”
Hannity quickly added, “I hope I’m not revealing something I shouldn’t.”
By ditching the bun, Trump appears to have adopted a low-carb approach while still indulging in his go-to fast food meals.

Trump’s Eating Habits: Fast Food, Diet Coke & No Veggies
Trump has long been known for his love of fast food and sweet treats. His former aides and interviews have revealed some of his diet staples:
- McDonald’s favorites: The Quarter Pounder and Big Macs.
- Massive meals: A typical dinner includes two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, and a chocolate malt.
- Diet Coke obsession: Trump reportedly drinks up to 12 Diet Cokes per day and even has a button on his desk in the Oval Office to order them instantly.
- Well-done steaks: Often served with ketchup and no vegetables, which he reportedly calls “garbage.”
- Sweet tooth: Enjoys Oreos, vanilla ice cream, and cake.
- Fast food on the go: His private jet, Trump Force One, was stocked with McDonald’s, KFC, pizza, and Diet Coke.
- No alcohol, coffee, or tea.

During his 2024 campaign, Trump even worked a shift at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, using it as a PR stunt that some election experts called a strategic blow to Democrat Kamala Harris.
Melania’s Influence & Busy Schedule Helped
While Trump’s diet still includes fast food, First Lady Melania Trump reportedly encouraged him to avoid the dessert buffet at Mar-a-Lago, which features over two dozen cakes, puddings, and tortes.
Trump also credits his demanding campaign schedule for keeping him too busy to eat as much as he normally would. “I'm not able to sit down and eat like a person like you—you can sit down and eat. Me, it's a little bit tougher.”
Doctor Confirms Trump’s Health Is “Excellent”
Trump’s personal doctor, Bruce Aronwald, confirmed that the president’s health is excellent and that he lost weight through an improved diet and daily physical activity.
However, no specifics on Trump’s weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, or medications were disclosed.
Final Thoughts
Trump’s simple diet tweak—removing burger buns—combined with a busy lifestyle seems to have played a key role in his 30-pound weight loss. Whether it’s a strategic PR move or a genuine health shift, his fast food obsession remains unchanged, proving you don’t have to give up your favorite meals to drop weight.
