JD Vance, RFK Jr. and other officials swear by a diet of grass-fed meat and fermented foods, even when the sulfurous odors cause friction at home
A new diet is sweeping through President Trump’s cabinet—and it involves heaping portions of sauerkraut. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Vice President JD Vance have all embraced the diet, drawn by the promise of slimmer waistlines and glowing skin. They all apparently have determined the health benefits outweigh the slightly sulfurous odors that have been the cause of some domestic friction.
“Within 30 days I lost 20 pounds,” Kennedy said at an event in Michigan this week. “JD Vance is also on the diet and you can see how different he looks.” The diet is the brainchild of Dr. Sean O’Mara, who advises his high-profile patients to eat fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kimchi, alongside grass-fed steak—and to abstain from alcohol and sugary food.
O’Mara says the diet leads to a reduction in visceral fat, which wraps around organs, as well as a more robust microbiome, which can help with digestion. Kennedy, 72, was the first to convert. Lutnick, 64, and Duffy, 54, followed suit. Vance, 41, committed to the diet for Lent earlier this year, and has stuck with it. “I tend to like to work with older people because the ROI is so much greater…. it’s like taking over a sinking ship, a company that is headed to bankruptcy,” O’Mara said. He declined to discuss his patients, citing privacy concerns. But people familiar with the matter said Kennedy, Lutnick and Duffy have all seen O’Mara.

“Eating Sauerkraut”
They know this because everyone is farting a lot?
That was a, I say that was a joke, son.
We eat sauerkraut all the time. Its great for your stomach.
Yummy! Also kimchi!
Yes.
My wife started making Kim Chi, but quit when I actually started eating it.
This gives Republicans the ability to fart in the democRATs general direction.
Would raw vinegar have the same benefits?
Didn[’t work for Hillary other than the smell.
When did she eat that?
Lutnick and Vance still look chubby
A great meal here -
A garlic and lemon seasoned pork loin baked on a bed of good quality sauerkraut mixed with onion and apple slices.
Mmmm...
Apple cider vinegar, yes. Also kombucha, yogurt.
Ahhh, the perfect diet: sauerkraut, sausage, beans, broccoli, boiled eggs, all washed down with copious beer.
Sour Kraut and Grassfed Beef sound very keto friendly.
Although I’m sure they’re eating a lot more than just those.
I’m surprised by the flatulence comments in this thread. I’ve never noticed, although I never consumed copious amounts of the stuff either.
“A new diet is sweeping through President Trump’s cabinet—and it involves heaping portions of sauerkraut.” They need to work on important things like sauerkraut.
Oh and pepper. Lot’s of ground pepper.
I have eaten homemade kraut since I was a child. Plus many other ferments. Homemade pickles, kefir. I used to call sauerkraut “natures Brillo pad”. It will really clean you out.
