Trying Trump’s Fast-Food Diet: A Week of Unhealthiness and Regret

Exploring Donald Trump‘s Fast Food Diet: A Week of Fast Food and Its Effects

Author’s Experiment

Gareth Davies, a writer, tried out US President-elect Donald Trump’s fast food diet for one week. His findings were alarming; his health deteriorated, raising questions about the long-term effects of such a diet.

Breakfast Choices

Trump often skips breakfast, or he has bacon and fried eggs if he eats. Davies started by skipping breakfast but soon felt hunger. By the third day, he resorted to a Diet Coke and Doritos, leaving him feeling sick.

Lunch Habits

Trump typically avoids lunch, snacking throughout the day. For Davies, this meant eating only Doritos, which made him hungry by midday. He realized he needed more substantial food by day three.

Snacking Patterns

Trump reportedly drinks up to 12 cans of Diet Coke daily with his snacks. Davies began with three cans but increased it to nine, relying on the drinks for hydration. By the week’s end, he found the Doritos unappealing.

Dinner Options

Trump’s dinners mainly consist of fast food like McDonald’s, KFC, or well-done steak. Davies ordered Big Macs, Filet-O-Fish, and more. He described the KFC as cold and soggy, with the steak being the least distasteful option.

Aftereffects on Health

By the end of the week, Davies lost 2.6 kg, but it was mainly due to dehydration. He experienced cold hands, peeling skin, and fatigue. His workouts suffered as he dealt with low energy levels.

Personal Reflection

Davies remarked, “I’ve never felt more unhealthy in my life.” He concluded that the diet is unsustainable and filled with bland, unhealthy food options. RFK Jr., who was set to be Trump’s health secretary, labeled the diet “poison.” A nutritionist from the Telegraph echoed the sentiment, stating the diet is unhealthy.
