Donald Trump vs exercise?

Trump's theory of energy

A theory of human energy, attributed to Donald Trump, states;

The human body is "like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depletes."

This theory is taken from the biography written by The Washington Post's Mike Kranisch and Marc Fisher titled "Trump Revealed" (August 2016).

It is with the usual spoonful of wariness when it comes to a "Trumpism" that we look further into this "theory".

Is the human body like a battery?

The human body, like in all mammals, is warm blooded. We are a homeothermic species and our thermoregulation occurs by regulating metabolic processes. When it is cold outside we consume and burn calories so that the body can maintain a body temperature higher than the environment. Colder conditions and exercise is indeed costing us energy in the form of calories, just like a battery drains as the energy is used.

A battery however will not see any benefit from being moved a mile further away from its position ("exercise") because it is a stand-alone energy source, no more no less. It is charged to store calories and then releases them to operate machinery. The exercise we humans achieve will indeed deplete the energy we "contain" but we neither burn so much that our energy runs out (anywhere near completely) nor do we see a zero benefit from exercise.
It is reported that Donald Trump has stopped his exercise regimen after taking a dim view of the benefits of exercise, seeing it as draining the body of its limited energy, presumably arguing that the energy saved helps him in his political life.

His use of the battery analogy is partly true but doesn't take into account the vast amounts of energy stored as fat and glycogen in the body, especially in the overweight population, being more than enough to prevent complete depletion. He also forgets the very important charging of the human battery in the form of consumption of food and drink. In these days of increasing levels of obesity we are currently, on average, charging up the human battery more than is required.

But what about the health of Trump?

Along with other information requests, Trump has not released his health records, so no evidence can be cited on any ill health as a result from a lack of exercise. Visibly overweight, if not clinically obese, Trump will be suffering from an increased risk of long-term health conditions, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes or cancer. If Mr Trump does indeed do little or no exercise, one wishes for his long-term health that he regularly eats a balanced healthy diet containing a suitable number of calories. It has long since been proven that those carrying excess body weight are at increased health risk but since moderate amounts of exercise burns negligible calories, any ill health, now or in the future, would be attributed to an increased consumption of calories rather than his belief that exercise is bad for you.

Trump was quoted in a news story from Yahoo news: "All my friends who work out all the time - they're going for knee replacements - they're a disaster"

How is this all linked to Lipotrim?

Lipotrim is a Very Low Calorie Diet, using nutrient complete formula foods, specially formulated to deliver all the nutrition a person needs in the minimum number of calories. The body is essentially forced to act like a battery, delivering from its stored fat the energy required to power the body minute by minute, day by day. When this dietary method is used for the overweight and obese population, rapid comfortable weight loss occurs. Exercise is encouraged for the long term benefits to health it offers but will not drive the rate of weight loss further.
Lipotrim is therefore especially suitable for those patients unable to exercise to the levels where meaningful weight loss occurs, for example in the very obese, bedridden or wheelchair patients.
