Do Presidents Eat Healthy? History says 'Absolutely Not'

Presidents are generally not noted for what they eat. But during a Hawaiian vacation last year, President Obama prior to taking office was caught on camera displaying what most people would consider a very healthy physique. Is President Obama naturally slim or is it because of what he eats or has eaten. As a child as mentioned in his book "Dreams From My Father" he claims to have eaten dog, snake and grasshoppers as a boy in Indonesia. Now that's different. I don't think I could eat grasshoppers, can you? Most likely it's not because of his love for the local Chicago joint foods. But he seems to have the metabolism to keep slim. He most likely exercises allot after a hard day at work, as he would be considered an avid basketball player. President Clinton had a weakness for junk food, but he never went to a place that was distinguished in a sense that would say they were made famous from his visits. Before that--hard to imagine Nixon, Eisenhower, Hoover as anything but steak and potato guys, though Taft looked like a guy who could down two dozen oysters as prelude to a rack of lamb.There are several techniques in loosing weight these days, from various exercise routines to diet pills, to special diet meals. One way to burn fat would be to increase metabolism. You can mainly do this through a diet or with pills. The safer way by far would be through a healthier diet in combination with exercise. So how does this work? In a nutshell, foods that burn fat actually burn more calories than the content of calories in the food you are consuming. In this type of diet, you do not have to worry on how much food that you eat, as long as you combine it with exercise. Usually either one or the other by itself will almost never work. So there is a technique that you can master, a plan that may work for you but not for others. But eating healthy most always would be more beneficial to everyone, and that would mean eating the proper types of foods that would help increase metabolism to burn calories.
