  • The Rev. Franklin Graham said a 2024 Trump presidential bid could “be a very tough thing to do.”
  • “You know the guy does not eat well,” the evangelical leader told Axios.
  • He also said Trump had lost weight and is energetic so “might be in good health and in good shape.”

BUSINESS INSIDER – Rev. Franklin Graham told “Axios on HBO” that President Trump running again would “be a very tough thing to do.”

“I think for him, everything will depend on his health at that time,” he said. “If he still has energy and strength like he does. I don’t.”

He said Trump’s diet could be a factor against him. “You know the guy does not eat well, you know, and it’s amazing the energy that he has,” Graham said.

BY EAT THIS, NOT THAT! EDITORS, MAY 10, 2021

It’s not just what you’re eating that can cause weight gain but also how you’re eating it.

By that, we mean that your eating habits—you know, the things that are so ingrained into our routines that we barely notice we’re doing them—play just as much of a role in your weight maintenance as the not-so-great foods you might be eating.

And that’s great news because if you can identify those unhealthy eating habits, you can completely change the course of your health for the better.

Tweak just a few of these unhealthiest eating habits every day and you could be on your way to a flatter belly in no time! While you’re at it, might as well stock up on these 7 Healthiest Foods to Eat Right Now.

In a 2011 national survey from the Calorie Control Council, 17% of Americans admitted to skipping meals to lose weight. The problem is, skipping meals increases your odds of obesity, especially when it comes to breakfast.

A study from the American Journal of Epidemiology found that people who cut out the morning meal were 4.5 times more likely to be obese. Why? Skipping meals slows your metabolism and boosts your hunger.

That puts your body in prime fat-storage mode and increases your odds of overeating at the next meal. And don’t say you don’t have time for breakfast; it’s easy if you make these overnight oats!

2. You eat dinner after 9 p.m.

No, it’s not because your metabolism slows down after this time—that’s a common food myth. But it is true that late-night eaters are more likely to gain weight compared to those who take advantage of the early bird special, according to a study published in the journal Appetite.

It’s not because they don’t burn those calories as rapidly; it’s because these night owls are more likely to binge eat (after starving themselves since lunch) and subsequently choose unhealthy foods high in sugar and fat to quickly put in their rumbling tummies.

Not only will these high-energy foods pack on the pounds, but many of them can make it harder to fall asleep. And if you didn’t already know, getting enough sleep is one of the answers to how to lose 10 pounds.

3. You keep unhealthy food in sight

Our homes are filled with hidden eating traps, and simply being aware of something as simple as the size of a bowl can influence how much you eat. For example, a study conducted at Google’s New York office found that placing M&Ms in opaque containers as opposed to glass ones and giving healthier snacks more prominent shelf space curbed candy consumption by 3.1 million calories in just seven weeks.

So what does that mean for your weight? The lesson here is clear: Clear junk food off your countertops to start losing weight and to make better choices … Click here to read more.
