How Did Pompeo Lose 90 Pounds? Really.
Have you seen Mike Pompeo lately? He looks good! Pompeo says he lost 90 pounds in six months without professional help by dieting and exercising half an hour most days in his home gym. Weight loss experts don't believe him. Before you conclude that the experts are right, ask yourself what they have to lose. I mean, if it's that easy and anybody can do it at home, then.... See what's happening here?
Also, the weight loss is a clear indication that Pompeo wants to run for president in 2024.

It all started on June 14, 2021, when Pompeo stepped on the scale and saw he was just pounds away from 300 for the first time in his life.
The next morning, he said, he woke up and told his wife, Susan: “Today is the day.”
“I started exercising, not every day, but nearly every day, and eating right and the weight just started to come off,” he said.
Pompeo, 58, said he invested in a home gym in his basement with some dumbbells and an elliptical machine, where The Post photographed him this week. “I tried to get down there five, six times a week and stay at it for a half-hour or so. And that was nothing scientific. There was no trainer, there was no dietician. It was just me.”

His weight loss came with plenty of social media speculation — and Pompeo said none of the comments were particularly complimentary. “The posts were pretty nasty or just inaccurate, speculating that I had health issues with my neck, or that I had cancer,” he said.
“Nobody ever called me and really asked, ‘Hey, what happened?’”

We asked weight loss experts, and people who have lost large amounts of weight themselves, whether it's possible to lose 90 pounds in six months simply by eating better and hitting a humble home gym for half an hour five or six times a week. Their response? Absolutely not, almost certainly not, and hahaha.
That's what Mike Pompeo, who represented Kansas in Congress before going on to become Donald Trump's favorite cabinet member, told the New York Post that he did.
"I've done this for 20 years," and never seen anything like that, said Micah LaCerte, who's considered Kansas City's top personal trainer. "He would have to be on a massive starvation diet," probably taking in no carbs at all. And even then, "no way with only a half-hour workout. Ninety in six is unbelievable, especially for his age, unless he's working out for hours every day. The numbers just don't add up. Dude, just be honest. Mike, come on, man."
