How to lose 100 pounds is a question many Americans seem to be asking these days. Is it even possible without a surgery? How to lose 100 pounds is also a question perhaps best answered by those who actually did just that.

Mike Huckabee is the governor of Arkansas – he lost over 100 pounds in three years. We often hear about celebrities losing a lot of weight, but I think this case deserves a special attention.

I can tell you how to lose 100 pounds, and I have helped others lose over 100 pounds, but personally, I have never lost that much weight. Here we have a politician, who not only did that, but he also inspired others to lose weight, more importantly – he wants to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Sure, celebrities can also tell you how to lose 100 pounds – if you into starving yourself, which could be a good idea for a state with one of the highest obesity rates in the nation. I am kidding!

Starving is never a good idea. It is just a little puzzling – why people would be resistant to an idea of a better health, especially when it comes to children. Now I know, according to New York Time, “In the South, the fight against obesity is essentially a culture war.”

Did you know that? I thought people actually want to be healthy – they just do not know how. Should they not appreciate a politician, who for a change, is actually trying to do something about it?

Well, according to the same article, “After the governor’s nutritional guidelines for school lunches took effect, one girl wrote a letter to him demanding “real food” like nachos and pizza.”

Where do kids get ideas like this? I think the moral of this story is simple- if you want to know how to lose 100 pounds, one of the things that you can do, is to support politicians like Mike Huckabee.

People like him do not just lead by example; they need our support if we want our kids to be healthy.
