During his first White House press briefing in over 40 days, Vice President JD Vance shared a surprisingly candid and humorous story about his recent weight loss. When asked by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy how he managed to shed a "ton of weight," Vance jokingly replied that the blunt question made him realize he "must have gotten very fat" before detailing his strict new eating habits. The Vice President revealed that a Lenten resolution to give up sugar led to a phone call with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who recommended a much more "intense" regimen. Vance explained that he now follows a strict, high-protein diet heavily reliant on sauerkraut. He joked that while the diet is highly effective for shedding pounds, those who actually want to enjoy their food should probably avoid asking RFK Jr. for nutritional advice.
