JD Vance Politician, Author, Celebrity

JD Vance has definitely lived many lives, from an author and entrepreneur to a Marine, Senator, and Vice President of the United States. In this article, we will look at how he moved from a young boy in Ohio to being a U.S. Marine and then a U.S. Politician.

Body

For someone who is 6'2" (188 cm) tall, JD Vance has a balanced look and a body type that complements each other. He currently has a weight that fits his stature, but that physical transformation started just a few years ago when he changed his diet and workout routine.

Diet

At the beginning of 2024, JD Vance weighed 201 lbs (91 kg), but currently, he weighs 200 pounds. That is a remarkable 30-pound weight loss.

Even though we are in a time where many resort to Ozempic to lose weight,  Vance didn't do so. Instead, he changed how and what he ate.

According to Health Digest, he skips breakfast and has fries and sandwiches from Chick-fil-A. His dinner isn't specific. He aims to eat less often but eat better.

Exercise

Another key factor in JD Vance's weight loss is his workout routine. According to the U.S Senator's appearance on the Katie Miller Podcast, He usually works out 5 days a week, and at worst, 3 days a week when he gets too busy.

As a politician and father, he usually has time to work out when he is off work, and his kids are off to bed. His workout session usually includes 1 or 2 days of cardio and 2-3 days of weightlifting. He also runs and does gym work when he can.
