Former US Secretary of State and former CIA Director Mike Pompeo lost more than 40 kilograms in six months, possibly to participate in the presidential race in 2024. This was reported by The New York Post, which interviewed the 58-year-old Republican.

Photos of the built politician made a splash. According to Pompeo, he began to gain weight after he was elected to Congress from Kansas 11 years ago. Then there was an endless series of business flights with never-ending work late and burger snacks. And so last summer, the politician stepped on the scales, which showed almost 300 pounds (136 kilos). Then he decided that it was time to change something. Pompeo set up a home trainer in his basement. "I started going down there five or six times a week and practicing for at least half an hour. No training" in science. "I did not have an instructor or nutritionist. - said the ex-secretary of state.

He also had to give up pizza and pancakes at his favorite cafe. "Of course, family feasts have not gone anywhere. We are Italians and we love to sit well with pasta, bread, cheese and desserts. Serve us great dishes. But only I become the guy who asks to put him a salad," joked Pompeo. But he has not yet confirmed his plans to run for president.
