Want to Do the Obama Diet?

Learn How to Look as Healthy as the Obama

Jacqueline Winslow
If you're after health and fitness, you might to try an Obama Diet. Although no one is certain of what they eat, as they do stay fit, we have a good idea of their daily eating habits.

Sure, when the Obama's head out around town they go to Burger Joints and eateries just like you and me. Who doesn't love hamburgers? The point is to show that they are normal, American Citizens with habits just like us. We like junk food! Junk food is what American's eat, right?!

Right and wrong, more and more Americans are choosing healthier lifestyles while still eating foods they love. This means that we can eat yummy foods and still look good; the catch is exercise. Exercise is that key word we all cringe at. Who wants to Exercise?

Well, in order to work off those calories we ate with that hearty hamburger meal, we need to exercise it off. My bet is that The Obama's do a fair share of exercise throughout their days to stay healthy. The Obama Diet could include basketball practice, walking, running; basically, anything that gets their hearts pumping and burning calories. Plus, they probably eat normal portions of food with lots of veggies included.

With all the hubbub about what the Obama's eat, we can only wonder what their diet included. What we would probably find is that they eat what we eat, they just exercise. Of course, if we could take a gander of their eating habits, I bet we would also find the following:

• Daily handful of nuts

• Lots of Milk

• Lots of Water

• Lots of Veggies (White House Garden)

• Greens

• Sweet Potatoes (The First Family loves Sweet Potatoes)

• Coffee (Their only human!)

• Chocolate (Everyone needs caffeine at some point)

• Energy Drinks (The President Probably has late night meetings)

• Healthy Snacks

We've all seen what the Obama's eat out in public. Pictures of the First Family have shown Americans that even President Obama likes hamburgers, chocolate, coffee, and regular American cuisine. Critics say he eats this out in public to show Americans that his family is just a normal family. What do you think?

I tend to think he goes to burger joints because he actually loves unhealthy foods. What man doesn't like a hamburger from time to time? If my family lived in the White House, we would be making monthly stops to Five Guys, our own favorite burger joint cause we love burgers!

The truth is that Americans are enthralled with the Obama's. We want to know how we can look like them, be like them, and act like them. What we would find is that for many Presidents live normal lives; at least, when they are away from the notoriety. Who doesn't have their own chefs, butlers, cleaning crew, Secret Service Men, Valets.... Doesn't everyone have that kind of luxury?

If we got past the fact that they are the First Family, we would probably see them doing the same exercise just as we do. They might have a trainer, but aside from that, they are doing normal exercise. They eat healthy; apart from all the extra junk food and semi normal lives, if you can call being President of the United States normal.

The Obama's are an active family which means Michelle Obama is probably watching what they eat to insure they stay healthy. That probably means veggies for the girls with lots of milk in their diet. President Obama probably eats lots of proteins for energy then lots of exercise to work it off. Exercise is a wonderful way to relieve stress and we can all be sure that President Obama has his share of stress.

With the economy at an all-time low, we can bet that President Obama's exercise probably increases daily just to handle the stress that seems to build with his job. American's are hoping the Obama Diet becomes the next big diet. What they would probably find out is that exercise is the key to his staying healthy.
