President Donald Trump has put on some pounds and is now officially considered obese. The White House on Thursday released results of his most recent physical, revealing that his Body Mass Index is now 30.4. That's based on the fact that he's now carrying 243 pounds on his 6-foot, 3-inch frame. That's up from 236 pounds in September 2016 before he became president. An index rating of 30 is the level at which doctors consider someone obese under this commonly used formula.

Trump doesn't drink alcohol or smoke, but he's not a big fan of the gym either. His primary form of exercise is golf. And he says he gets plenty of walking in around the White House complex.

I've not lost as many pounds, but I have been on a calorie-deficit diet - many times. The first time, I lost weight, regained it and a bit more. Then I went on another calorie-controlled diet, lost weight (not as easily the second time round) regained it and a bit more. And then another, and another. When I started this vicious cycle aged 15, I was 5ft 2in and about 54kg. That's a body mass index (BMI) … [Read more...] about Here’s the plan: I’ll tell you how to lose weight and keep it off forever
