Lessons Learned From Rush Limbaugh's Weight Loss
By Mary_RD on Aug 13, 2009 12:00 PM in Dieting & You

David Letterman, the comedian, might say, “Hey, how 'bout that Rush Limbaugh losing 80 pounds in just 21 weeks? Isn’t that something?” Mary Hartley, the nutritionist, might say, “Kids, don’t try this yourself at home.”

The Rush Diet

Rush told American Superstar Magazine that he’s using a diet plan from Florida-based Quick Weight Loss Centers, and he said he is eating about 1500 calories a day of real food with a couple of supplements they provide. The 80 pound loss occurred between March 9th and July 31st, but I can’t seem to make the math work no matter how hard I try.

Let’s see: according to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), Rush is a 58 year old male, 5’11”. He said he weighed 290 pounds (at the start of the diet) with a presumed sedentary activity level (he’s not a big fan of exercise - see below) and a daily calorie requirement of 2,589 needed to maintain 290 pounds. I figured Rush would have lost about 45 pounds in 21 weeks consuming 1500 calories a day.
(Note: To get the numbers above, I used the Calorie Count Calorie Target calculator, which is based on the Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrate, Fiber, Fat, Fatty Acids, Cholesterol, Protein, and Amino Acids developed by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine.)

Oh come on. Look who said it. When will you believe anything that comes out of drugboy's mouth.

[HopeHoops]

2. He's still a lard ass!

He probably had surgery to cut off the 200 lb boils on his asshole. And shit, he weights WAY more than 290 lbs. His ASS weighs more than that.

9. it's been said already but I'll again..ditto on the "no way was he just 290lbs"

His diet was likely gastric bypass. It's ok, just ROFL ROFL ROFL, be honest, oxycontinboy

10. dupe

[Contrary1]

12. No kidding.

It's taken me a year to lose 50 pounds with better food choices and exercise.

If any of his ditto-heads try this themselves, they may need that government health care they don't want.

13. Rush could lose 80 lbs. overnight with a good laxative.

14. One of the things my clinic does is oversee weight loss programs

There are rational levels of weight loss that are healthy and other levels that can seriously fuck up your life.

Rush has chosen the wieght loss behind door number 2.

He is either on massive amounts of metabolic boosters (so the meth guess is not far off, although my guess would be illegaly imported ma huang or some new combination of drugs like Phen-Fen), or he has had it cut off.

There is no other way to lose that much that fast starting as he is from a lean body mass deficit.
