Summary
JD Vance said at a White House briefing that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushed him onto a stricter diet that drove his recent weight loss.
Since Lent in February, Vance said he has eaten mostly high-protein foods and sauerkraut after initially considering giving up sugar, joking that the plan works better than it tastes.
On a January USA TODAY podcast, Vance said the regimen cut 40% of his visceral fat within a month and helped him lose 20 pounds in 20 days, though he said some gains could be placebo.
Kennedy has described his own approach as a carnivore diet centered on animal products, a regimen that remains controversial among advocates of more plant-based nutrition.
