Heavy seniors who want to lose pounds safely shouldn't skip the weight machines or the treadmill, new research suggests.

Experts have worried about recommending weight loss to older, obese people because it speeds up bone and muscle loss, increasing the danger of falls and broken bones. Losing weight plus aerobic activity and strength training improved their health more than dieting plus either type of exercise alone.

The results suggest a combination of exercises is the safest approach, and may have big implications for helping people continue to live independently as they age. Medicare, the U.S. health insurance program for people 65 and older, now covers behavioral therapy for weight loss and some plans offer gym memberships.

"It is the worst of both worlds, being fat and frail," said Dr. Dennis T. Villareal of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, who led the study under a grant from the National Institute on Aging.

More than a third of Americans ages 65 and older are obese. Obesity can make the elderly vulnerable to medical problems, but losing weight can worsen frailty by hastening muscle and bone loss.

The study, published Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine, involved 141 older obese people who were randomly assigned to a diet-and-exercise program. They scored in the frail range on a standard test used with seniors.

One group did aerobics such as treadmill walking. Another did strength training with weight machines. A third group did aerobics and strength training. All exercised three times a week.

A control group didn't diet or exercise and only attended monthly nutrition classes.

After six months, all the groups except the do-nothing group had lost weight, about 19 pounds on average.

The combination and aerobics-only groups built their ability to use oxygen most efficiently, which can increase endurance. The combination and strength-only groups preserved the most lean mass and bone.

The health differences showed up in follow-up testing where participants did a series of nine tasks including picking up a penny, standing up from a chair and climbing stairs.

Most improved was the combination group with a 21 percent average increase in scores compared to 14 percent improvement in the aerobics-only and strength-only groups.

"It's never too late to change lifelong unhealthy habits," Villareal said.

Minor injuries such as knee pain and shoulder pain among the exercisers were not enough to outweigh the benefits, he said.

The study excluded people with severe heart disease and other serious health problems, so the results apply only to people well enough to start an exercise program.

"You get more bang for your buck with doing both types of training, especially when it comes to improving frailty scores," said Dr. Lawrence Appel of Johns Hopkins University, who was not involved in the study.

LEXINGTON, KY--(Marketwired - May 19, 2017) - Many people struggle to manage their diet program. Whether it's a plant-based diet, ketogenic diet, military diet, consuming fewer calories long enough to see weight loss results can be challenging. After all, hunger and subsequent over-eating sabotages the majority of diet attempts. The in-house team of doctors at the nationally recognized medical weight loss center, Diet Doc have developed Fullness Factor -- a new appetite suppressant to satiate hunger and accompany most diet plans to accelerate weight loss.

Fullness Factor works to reduce hunger in-between meals to keep your diet program on track. These hunger suppressant pills combine the water-soluble fiber called glucomannan, which expands in the digestive tract and replicates the sensation of fullness, with a patented vegetable protein called Slendesta, a powerful appetite suppressant made from potato extract that sends the signal to your brain that you are full.

Fullness Factor should be taken an hour prior to each meal. The result? Eating less during meals, feeling full for longer periods of time, and seeing weight loss results without suffering through constant food cravings, mood swings and irritability that normally comes with a sudden reduction in calories. In fact, Diet Doc patients have noticed that Fullness Factor helps make a reduced calorie diet much more bearable. Diet Doc patients taking Fullness Factor have also observed other improvements such as reduced constipation, reduced cholesterol, and lowered blood sugar.

Each ingredient in this appetite suppressant helps to boost your weight loss results and achieve your goals safely and consistently. It is safe for long-term use and contains no harmful ingredients, stimulants, or caffeine. New Diet Doc patients can call or easily and effortlessly visit https://www.dietdoc.com to complete an initial comprehensive, yet simple, health questionnaire and schedule an immediate personal, no-cost consultation. Diet Doc Physicians all received specialized training in nutritional science and fast weight loss. Diet Doc reviews each patient's health history to create a personalized diet plan geared for fast weight loss, or that addresses life-long issues causing weight loss to slow down or stop. Nutritionists work personally with each patient and use their own algorithm to craft meal and snack plans that are compatible with each patient's age, gender, activity level, food preferences, nutritional needs and medical conditions. They combine these state of the art diet plans with pure, prescription diet products that enable their patients to resist the temptation to reach for sugary snacks, eliminate fatigue and curb the appetite. Over 97% of Diet Doc patients report incredible weight loss results with the majority losing 20 or more pounds per month.

At Diet Doc, all patients gain unlimited access to the best minds in the business. Their staff of doctors, nurses, nutritionists and coaches are available 6 days per week to answer questions, offer suggestions, address concerns and lend their professional guidance and support.

Obese people lost an average of 2st 6lb over 16 weeks, a study found, with experts suggesting the technique could be used as an alternative to drastic weight-loss surgery.

The Elipse Balloon is contained inside a capsule which is swallowed with a drink of water. The capsule is attached to a hollow plastic tube.

A doctor uses imaging to check the balloon is correctly in place before filling it up, via the tube, with almost a pint of water.

The tube is then detached and removed.

After 16 weeks, a valve disintegrates and the device is excreted safely by the body.

In the new study presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Porto, Portugal, the balloon was given to 42 obese people (29 men and 13 women).

They were typically aged 46, had a body mass index of 39 and weighed just over 17st on average.

After 16 weeks, typical weight loss per person was 2st 6lb and people lost more than 14pc of their total body weight.

The balloon, which costs around 4,000, is available in several countries around the world.

"The reaction of patients is incredible. They are very happy about the results they were able to achieve," said Dr Roberta Ienca, from the University of Rome, who led the study.

Work was also carried out with patients on changing their eating habits long-term, she said.

A swallowable balloon which makes people feel full can lead to dramatic weight loss in just four months, research suggests.

Obese people lost an average of 2st 6lb over 16 weeks, a study found, with experts suggesting the technique could be used as an alternative to drastic weight-loss surgery.

The Elipse Balloon is contained inside a capsule which is swallowed with a drink of water. The capsule is attached to a hollow plastic tube.

A doctor uses imaging to check the balloon is correctly in place before filling it up, via the tube, with almost a pint of water. The tube is then detached and removed.

After 16 weeks, a valve disintegrates and the device is excreted safely by the body.

In the new study presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Porto, Portugal, the balloon was given to 42 obese people (29 men and 13 women).

They were typically aged 46, had a body mass index (BMI) of 39 and weighed just over 17st on average.

After 16 weeks, typical weight loss per person was 2st 6lb and people lost more than 14 per centof their total body weight (around a third of their excess weight).

The balloon, which costs around 3,400, is available in several countries around the world and privately in the UK. The NHS is investigating similar methods.

'Mr Sleek' sheds six stone in weight

Dr Roberta Ienca, from the University of Rome, who led the study, said: The reaction of patients is incredible. They are very happy about the results they were able to achieve.

During my daily phone contacts with my patients, they shared with me their pictures and the amount of weight they lost.

She said people were very satisfied with the results. Work was also carried out with patients on changing their eating habits long-term, she said.

Professor Jason Halford, treasurer of the European Association for the Study of Obesity, from the University of Liverpool, said the device helped people manage their appetite and modify their food intake.

In that context, it could be a solution for people who don't want to go for full bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, he said.

With bariatric surgery, there are potential complications, it's a very permanent change in your life and it's not easily reversible.

People are looking for alternatives.

He said the balloon could also provide an alternative to anti-obesity drugs and may be useful for people who have found that drugs do not work.

He said potentially millions could benefit on the NHS, though clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), which control large chunks of NHS funds, would need to be willing to pay for them.

I think if studies are there and it's cost-effective ... I think it should be considered (on the NHS), he said.

Dr Simon Cork, from Imperial College London, warned that patients were likely to regain weight once the balloon was removed.

Nevertheless, gastric balloons are still useful for some patients, and the introduction of a device which doesn't require surgery to implant is a positive step forward, he said.

Professional athletes dont get to the top by accident. It takes superhuman levels of time, dedication, and focusand that includes paying attention to what they put in their bellies. In this series, GQ takes a look at what pro athletes in different sports eat on a daily basis to perform at their best. Heres a look at the (strict) daily diet of Cavaliers forward Kevin Love.

He eats like an 80-year-old lady who's trying make sure she's regular.

The aforementioned quote comes from Cleveland Cavaliers forward Richard Jefferson describing teammate Kevin Loves diet. While Jeffersons assessment is a subtle jab at how conscious the All-Star power forward is with what he consumes, given how Love has transformed his physique since arriving in the league in 2008, its clear that the sum is a result of very detailed maintenance. Just how detailed? We caught up with Love ahead of Game One of the Cavaliers Eastern Conference Finals matchup with the Boston Celtics to discuss just how calculated Loves eating habits are.

GQ: You enjoyed some individual success your first few years in Minnesota, even with being bulkier back then. Many players, especially young ones, wouldnt make such a drastic change to their physique because of that success. Which year did you make shedding weight a priority?

Kevin Love: It was probably the offseason I got traded (to Cleveland). I knew that we would be doing a lot of running and my style of play would have to change a little bit. I knew that this would be an opportunity to win but that wouldnt come without sacrifice. Even before then, everything was to build my body and diet to be self-sustaining, and try to manipulate things with longevity being the focus. So I was eating so I could play for 15-20 years and I can decide when I want to retire. This is my ninth year, so that would have been my sixth when I was traded when I fully decided that I want to start working with a nutritionist. I want to know exactly what Im eating and be able to plan ahead, whether its in season or the offseason.

How many different diets did you go through before you found something that you were fully comfortable with?

It definitely took me awhile. I knew coming into the league thatand theres pictures to prove itthat I was a little bit too heavy. Playing four games in five nights, or back to backs, youre playing different types of players. Go to Dallas, youre playing Dirk (Nowitzki). You got KG (Kevin Garnett) in Boston. Having to recover from that and not having the proper nutrition, while being 10-15 pounds overweight; that was something that was really all by trial and error. So it was about figuring out what worked and what made my body feel good. It wasnt until I started working with my nutritionist, Dr. (Philip) Goglia in Los Angeles, that we found out what worked for my body. Now, everyday I have a diet that is designed for me and makes it easy to be able to plan ahead and eat really well.

Just how detailed and custom is this diet?

My nutritionist is actually part of a company called G-plans and what they do is offer customized metabolic health and nutrition plans to people across the world and inspire healthy living. The nutrition platform is perfect for people at varying levels of fitness because it plans your diet around meal plans based on your metabolism. It gives you comprehensive tracking, and a tailored fitness plan. This method is what Ive been following with Dr. Goglia and it is an option for everyone.

The difference in your physique is the most notable. From a physical standpoint, how long did it take you to feel comfortable playing with less weight from what you had been accustomed to for most of your life?

I look back now and the first year (in Cleveland), I felt I was too skinny. I thought to myself that I can get a full six-pack, I was featured in the Body Issue of ESPN The Magazine and I was eating great. That didnt necessarily translate to the court. For me, I was running well, and was in great shape but as far as being able to play inside and outside, which is what I had been doing, I figured I would probably need to throw some of that weight back on. Thats when I begin to get back in the weight room and basically not making best friends with my trainer with the Cavs, Alex Moore. We just started hitting the weights to put the weight back onwell, good weight, I should say, because we generated muscle.

I was better off after that because that first year, I was smaller than I wanted to be and I think that showed a little bit in my rebounding numbers and definitely with playing inside. Im used to offensive rebounding, defensive rebounding and setting the tone on that end. I wanted to get back to that and that had a lot to do with just getting back in the weight room.

Just how uncomfortable are those Body Issue shoots?

[Laughs] Well, its a closed set and ESPN has been doing it for years. It was one of my goals that I was going to be on the cover one day. Seeing where I came from when I came into the league from UCLA, and even looking at some of my old high school photos, I would have been the only one in the world that saw that happening. In a lot of cases, I was told that to take the edge off, guys will have a drink to kind of loosen up to be able to throw themselves out there. I was in the middle of the desert, somewhere about an hour northeast of L.A. and it was 110 degrees. So that wasnt an option for me. It probably took the first couple of shots to really feel comfortable and say, Okay, Im in this.

What are some of the typical meals that youre putting in your body on game days?

For me, its pretty basic. In the morning, I try and make sure Im getting three to four eggs and some almond butter. As I mentioned with planning ahead, Ill grab a Justins flavored almond butter pack, whether its the hazelnut, vanilla, or maple. Ill also have fruit in the morning, two scoops of whey protein. Its pretty straightforward. In the afternoon, its grilled chicken with high-iron veggies, like beets or spinach. As far as getting a starch in there, Ill usually do sweet potatoes or a half a cup of rice. Before the game, Ill have a banana with honey and a little bit of caffeine to get me going. Ill probably do some almond butter again to get the fat stored. For dinner after the game, Im doing fatty fish with the same veggies and no red meat.

Its not like Im doing anything crazy but Im just continuing to fuel my body for this grind and making sure none of these foods will give me an inflammatory response. Im taking my B (protein) powder and making sure thats all going down. Im getting my vitamins in and getting my sleep. Its all very calculated and discipline is what I will say is the most important.

Some of your teammates have poked fun at you for your strict diet. How do you maintain that discipline over the course of an extended season and not indulge in cravings you may have?

I always say you have to decide between what you want now and what you want most. I want to feel good, play a high number of years, and also, I dont want to wake up the next day and look back and feel guilty about indulging in whatever we were having that prior night. I say its not easy because one of my guilty pleasures I have is red wine, and Bron and a lot of guys on our team always have that around. Theyre snobs and they have the right to be. When it comes to red wine, its really tough to say no to it but I think its all discipline, especially when were traveling, getting in late and playing back to backs. Sometimes, Ill bring a Whole Foods bag with my almond butters, fruits that I can take, or grab from the plane and always keep with me. One thing I always try and do also is just pound the water. That tends to eliminate any late night eating and keeps me hydrated. Its not easy. Its definitely not easy.

"I say its not easy because one of my guilty pleasures I have is red wine, and Bron and a lot of guys on our team always have that around. Theyre snobs and they have the right to be."

I consider the Cavaliers as being one of the franchises at the forefront of team nutrition because you guys have a staff that gets to the arena an hour before the first bus arrives and they set up a spread of fresh fruit, organic peanut butter and jelly, RX bars and all this really healthy stuff. When did you guys implement that?

I think its probably through our head strength coach, Derek Millender. Hes one of the more health conscious people in that role in the NBA, in my opinion. Hes been at the forefront of that for us and really working with our team nutritionist. I know guys like myself have nutritionist we go to, but we have a woman who works with us and they kind of go back and forth to find the best places to order from on the road. That way, youre not having the typical concession stand food after the game. Youre having what fits with your meal plan.

As calculated and disciplined as you are in your nutrition, how much of a motivation do you get from seeing how LeBron prepares and takes care of his body because hes arguably the best conditioned athlete of our lifetime?

Theres a lot of things that might go unnoticed with LeBron. His overall diet and what he puts in his body; I mentioned it being calculated and he wants to play forever. Hes like Tom Brady. It just seems like that because of that level of greatness. His self-sacrifice, what he eats on a daily basis, how hes fueled as well as the time he puts in. Whether its in the weight room, on the training table or out there on the court, hes one of a kind. Hes special. I think thats whyknock on woodhes been able to play for so long without a major injury and play at such a high level. It just seems like he gets better with age.

Look at this postseason. At 32 years old, his averages for the season were 26, 8.5, and 8.5. This postseason, hes probably playing the best postseason basketball that he has in his career. I think its definitely inspiring to not only us, but also the youth and that demographic. Anybody who wants what he has or looks up to him as an athlete, leader, or even someone who is in my position as his teammate, he makes a ton of decisions everyday that might come easy to him now, but in looking at how he goes about his business and his diet, that sort of thing doesnt go unnoticed.

With a lot of people and even athletes, theres a mental hurdle and a physical barrier you have to push through to achieve your goals. What would be your advice on pushing through those barriers and getting away from what youre comfortable with?

You definitely want to find out what works for you because I think a lot of people get into it for a few weeks and they dont have these huge gains they expect quickly. But theres no magic pill or potion that youre going to take and the weight is going to fly right off. Its a lifestyle change. For me, it was looking in the mirror and finding that inspiration in how am I going to better myself in order to help my team, help my career like I mentioned with LeBron and the younger generation and make sure that Im doing the right thing as far as healthy living goes. Its definitely a lifestyle change and something that takes time. I would just say find your motivation. Like with anything in life, find what makes you tick on the health and wellness side because youll be a lot better off from a health standpoint, and purely from an aesthetic standpoint, if you put the time in, youre going to see results.

(CBS)Cubs right-hander Jake Arrieta eats well, aiming to make 80 percent of his diet healthy. But the remaining 20 percent is pretty incredible.

The 2015 NL Cy Young winner, Arrieta has what he calls cheat days on his diet. He explained it in great detail to the Bernstein & Goff Show on Wednesday in his regular appearance with the show.

We start with a flight of french toast, which is blueberry, strawberries, pecan, a cookie french toasts, and then Im going with a chicken and waffles, Arrieta said. Probably two pancakes, three eggs and a side of bacon. Thats breakfast.

Im carb-loading. Im getting a ton of sugar, high fat. And then Ill probably end up at the park with the kids for an hour, as long as I can stay awake. Ill have to hit a nap then, and I kind of plan out my food accordingly if I know Im really going to get after it.

Usually, around lunch, before dinner, Ill probably eat a pint of ice cream, just as a snack a nice little snack. And then well go to dinner. Well go to DMK (restaurant), well go there. Ill get two double-doubles, probably an order of fries, maybe two, and then a shake at least one shake after dinner.

Im probably throwing down close to 10,000 calories. And then I dont eat for three or four days.

Arrietas typical diet is mostly plant-based and consists of organic foods. He maintains excellent physical condition and a extensive workout regimen. But the cheat days can be just as important to maintaining a healthy diet. Arrieta sure does his right.

This season has been a struggle so far for Arrieta, whos 4-3 with a 5.44 ERA. He pins the struggles on mechanical issues.

I wasnt too far off from where I want to be last start, Arrieta said. But its just a continuous process, trying to work through it, find that comfort zone and go from there.

Tom Brady credits the success and longevity of his career to his incredibly strict dietbut the choice to get healthy wasnt necessarily his own.

In an interview with CBS This Mornings Charlie Roseon Wednesday, the New England Patriots wife and supermodel,Gisele Bndchen, says she is the reason the family steers clear of eating white sugar, white flour, MSG, caffeine, fungus, dairy, nightshades and yes, even strawberries.

In my situation, we have a plant-based died and weve been having it for 10 years, says the mom of two. Because we feel better, it is better for our health and everything we put into our body has an affect on us, has an affect on our energy and how we feel.

When Rose asks her directly if she initiated their healthy lifestyle, Bndchen reluctantly admits, it has come from me.

Though a personal chef for the family toldWell+Goodlast year that Bradywho recently launched a $78 per week plant-based meal kit with Purple Carrotalso incorporated lean meats into about 20 percent of hisdiet, it seems hes since gone full vegetarian. And that decision appearsto be paying off.

From Coinage:Heres When Its Worth to Buy Organic

The thing is, he said hes been feeling so much better, says Bndchen. I have to say its amazing, you know, the way he feels. He doesnt feel achy. He just feelsso muchmore energy.

ButBndchen isnt taking all the credit for Bradys five Super Bowl wins. He has to thank his commitment, his dedication to it, because he still has to want to do it, right? shesays. In the beginning, it was a little bit different for him, but now he loves it and he wouldnt have it any other way because he feels better.

Religious parents who killed their infant son by feeding him an alternative, gluten free diet, are now on trial in Belgium.

The parents, described as overly religious by local media, ran a natural food store in the town of Beveren in Belgium. Prosecutors claim they refused medical advice, and placed their son on a dangerous gluten free diet that included quinoa milk, a diet that ultimately resulted in the death of their infant son.

According to reports, the parents diagnosed their infant son Lucas as gluten intolerant as well as lactose intolerant. Yet that diagnosis was never confirmed by a medical professional.

At the time of his death Lucas was only seven months old and weighed less than 10 lbs, which is half of what a healthy child his age should weigh. An autopsy showed that when he died Lucas was severely dehydrated and his stomach was completely empty.

While the parents refused to seek appropriate medical attention for their dying son, a prayer card was found in the childs diaper at the time of his death.

About the case, the public prosecutor said:

The parents determined their own diagnosis that their child was gluten intolerant and had a lactose allergy.

Not a single doctor had a dossier about Lucas and child protection services did not know about them.

In addition, prosecutors allege that despite the baby gasping for air in the days leading to his death, the parents never thought to seek medical attention.

At one point, as their sons health continued to deteriorate, the parents did consult with a homoeopathic doctor on the other side of the country. Thats right, instead of taking their sick and dying son to a local hospital, the parents sought out a homoeopathic doctor.

(For the record, homeopathic medicine does not work, and is a scam meant to hustle the gullible and the ignorant.)

Commenting on the case, lawyers for the parents tried to justify the actions of their clients, noting:

Lucas had an eating disorder. He got cramps when he was fed with a bottle and his parents tried out alternatives.

Oat milk, rice milk, buckwheat milk, semolina milk, quinoa milk. All products which they also sell in their store.

Nevertheless, the prosecutor holds the parents responsible for the death of their son, arguing that the parents dangerous and unorthodox diet equals intentionally denying food to the infant child.

The parents now face jail sentences, with Belgian prosecutors alleging they contributed to the death of the boy from dehydration and undernourishment

The trial begins this week, with Belgian prosecutors seeking an 18-month jail sentence for both the mother and father.

I should probably start out at the beginning by sayingThis diet is to make me as strong as I possibly can be. Im eating to be the strongest man on the planet, says professional strongman Brian Shaw at the beginning of the video below. Translation: Dont try this at home.

Its not easy being the four-time Worlds Strongest Man, and its even tougher eating to be maintain that status. Shaw mentions in thevideo below that eating is often the toughest part of his training because its a continual process. He enlists a nutritionist, so he gets to pick some of his favorite foods while also being provided meal recommendations.

He points out that his diet becomes especially difficult when he just isnt hungry, which makes absolute sense when you considerhow much 12,000+ calories a day really is. In Shaws words,Its a necessary evil, so to speak.

Hisfirst meal in the video entails his cereal of choice (Cinnamon Toast Crunch) and eight eggs, which equates to roughly 1,180 calories, 68 grams of fat, 74 grams of carbs, and 68 grams of protein.

Shaws Stats

His second mealis consumed about an hour later and includes a protein shake containing whey, peanut butter, and granola bars. The nutrition breakdown ofthis meal comes out to 1,025 calories, 25 grams of fat, 92 grams of carbs, and 115 grams of protein. Within three hours of waking up, Shaw is around 2,300 calories, and thats a typical morning for this athlete.

As the video progressesShaw continues to breakdown his daily meals and what they entail. Its absolutely insane, and I recommend watching it until the end (especially if youre someonewho fantasizes about having a reason to eat 12kcals a day).

[Does Shaw have this years Worlds Strongest Man competition? Check out one of BarBend contributor Dane Curleys rationale and prediction.]

This video got me curious how much does 12,000 calories look like in other foods? In a week, Shaw is consuming 84,000 calories, which equals 28 weeks (196 days) worth of food if you were to consume 3,000 calories a day.I crunched some numbers below, and if youre hungryIm sorry for doing this to you.

Each package of regular Oreos has around 40 cookies in it (it had 45, but got reduced this year), so you could eat 6.6 FULL packages of Oreos.

If youre a fan of Ben and Jerrys ice cream goodness, then you could eat elevenfull pints of their tasty Half Baked with a caloric allowance of 12,000.

Not many people would purposely consume 92 chicken breasts, but could you imagine? It would be physically impossible (I think) to stomach all that protein, at least without blending it.

Fans of the popular West Coast-based In-N-Out Burger rejoice, because with 12,000 calories you could slam 25 of their tasty cheeseburgers.

Im personally a homemade pizza fan, but for the sake of national recognition, you could consume 40 cheesy slices of 14 pepperoni pizzas from Dominos for12,000 calories thats five entire pizzas.

111 boneless wings (which isnt that much)comes out to about 4.5 servings of B Dubss large boneless baskets. This one kind of made me sad, as I was reminded how high calorie wings are.

For fun I wanted to see the volume of broccoli 12,000 calories was. Its 387 cups of chopped broccoli. Could you imagine eating 387 of broccoli in one day? Thats 928 grams of fiber.

Yeah, Im carbing up for my arm workout tomorrow, its all about the glycogen replenishment. Dude, youre eating 16.5 lbs of spaghetti in one sitting.On a serious note, who has a bowl that big, youd probably need a bathtub or a trough.

No matter howyou crunch the numbers, its absolutely insane how much food 12,000 calories a day is, and thats every day for Shaw.

Thats just a day in the life ofthe Worlds Strongest Man.

Donald Trumps bizarre views on health and physical fitness are, by this point, fairly well-documented. He told Dr. Oz he feels the same age as Tom Brady. He enjoys eating fast food because of its cleanliness. His doctor once even penned a note, in suspiciously Trumpian language, claiming that the real estate mogul would be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.

Yes, this guy. Healthier than this guy. And this guy. Likely story.

And this week, reports resurfaced about how, in their book Trump Revealed, authors Mike Kranisch and Marc Fisher wrote on Trumps unique theory of energy:

After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didnt work out. When he learned that John ODonnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, You are going to die young because of this.

Enter Stephen Colbert. At the age of 70, Trump doesnt have the energy of a childin part cause he doesnt believe in exercise. According to The Washington Post, Donald Trump believes the human body is like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted, said the funnyman during his Wednesday night Late Show monologue. He added, OK, good news, kids, theres going to be a new presidential physical fitness test. See that rope? Dont touch it. There, you passed.

Of course, the human body actually becomes stronger with exercise. But not according to the president of the United States.

That, of course, is not how Donald Trump sees it. Apparently, Trump thinks a person is born with a finite amount of energy, which, may I point out, by that logic would mean the strongest people in the world are biggies, joked Colbert.

Though I suppose we should have seen his anti-exercise thing coming, he continued. After all, one of the first things Trump did was replace Michelle Obamas Lets Move campaign with his own: Lets Not.

The Late Show host has, as you probably know, been locked in a war of words with the president ever since Colbert cracked on his late-night program: In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putins cock holster. Trumps online troll army then got the hashtag #FireColbert to trend on Twitter; Colbert refused to apologize; Trump called him filthy and a no-talent guy in an interview with Time; and then the comedian, as is his wont, took a victory lap.

The presidents response to this latest jab will, in all likelihood, involve the least amount of energy possible.
