Barack is also lucky in that his wife keeps an eye on his diet

What does the future leader of the free world eat? Barack Obama as you can tell from his appearance actually eats pretty healthily and he claims that he eats practically everything that is put in front of him. Barack loves snacking but luckily he did not go for sweet snacks but sticks to nuts such as almonds and pistachio nuts as well as raisins and pumpkin seeds. These sorts of snacks are lower in fat and contain lots of healthy Omega 3 fatty acids.

Barack is also lucky in that his wife keeps an eye on his diet and steered him away from unhealthy fast food which was consumed by a lot of his staff during his election campaignm and made him eat grilled fish and broccoli every now and again. Barack does not consume sugary soft drinks and prefers to drink water. When you are on the move it is often difficult to eat healthily and during the high pressure election trail many campaigners said that they put on weight over this time. Stress and anxiety lead to poor food choices and lack of sleep which are directly linked to weight increase.

The problem for the health of Barack is not his weight but his admitted weakness for having the odd cigarette now and again. Despite promising his wife that he would quit smoking for good, reports have surfaced that even during the election campaign when things got tough he would slip out for a cigarette, pinching one off an aide.

With a whole army of cooks at his disposal in the White House as well as nutritionists, personal trainers and anyone else he wants to employ it is unlikely that the President of America is going to have much of a problem with his weight over the next four years. Let us all hope that he will do something about the chronic problem of obesity that plagues the nation.
