Chris is a well-known figure in the world of politics. He served as the 55th governor of New Jersey and has a track record of winning most of the elections he participated in. However, as he’s getting older, Chris Christie has faced some health challenges.
One significant health issue for Chris is his weight. Throughout his political career, many people noticed that he was overweight. But when he turned fifty, his weight continued to increase, and his overall health began to decline.
This weight problem started affecting not only his personal life but also his political career. Some critics even called him “ridiculous” and “irresponsible” for considering running for office.
However, there’s good news! Chris has taken steps to address his health issues. This American politician and former federal prosecutor has made significant progress in improving his health.
In recent months, Chris has successfully shed a considerable amount of weight. Let’s dive into his journey of weight loss and learn more about the positive changes he’s made to lead a healthier life.
How did Chris Lose Weight?
When Christie decided to finally shed some pounds, he was confused about how to do it.
As you can see there are dozens of weight loss methods. And even a politician can get confused by such things.
So he met his personal doctor who recommended he should undergo weight loss surgery.
He has undergone a “Lap-Band” procedure, in which a silicone band is placed under the stomach to limit food consumption. It doesn’t leave much space for food. In this way, it discourages overeating.
This procedure has really made a huge difference for Chris. In just over a couple of months, the famous politician has successfully lost 85 Pounds.
When his rivals were pointing out his weight loss as his effort to run for the presidency, Christie made the situation clear by saying that he lost weight just for “his family”.
