Gov Larry Hogan Weight Loss [Updated]: Diet, Workout, Before and After

Larry Hogan is an American politician. He is serving as the 62nd governor of Maryland. Hogan is a member of the Republican party. His political career has spanned decades and is still flourishing.

Besides being the governor of Maryland, Larry has also served as the secretary of appointment of Maryland and as the chair of the National Governors Associations.

Though Larry’s political career has been successful in every way and people are even chanting the slogan of “Hogan for governor in 2024”, his health has always been something that he worries about. Hogan is a cancer survivor. 

After fighting cancer for months, Hogan had to face another problem. Being a politician and then governor means a lot of stress and work. His busy schedule didn’t allow him much time to take care of his health. As a result, his eating habits got disturbed and Hogan gained extra pounds.

Larry continued to gain weight gradually and reached a very unhealthy situation. He was afraid that Trump would write his next tweet about him calling him “Fat Hogan”. Although that tweet from Trump never came, Hogan’s health got worse.

He realized that his weight was slowing him down. Even simply moving was becoming a problem for him. After consulting with his doctor, Larry decided to get rid of the extra pounds that were making his life hard.
