We've seen Donald Trump lie about big things and small things. We've seen the horrible diet of food that Donald Trump eats.
So when Bloomberg News, a trusted news source, reported in March that Donald Trump was on a diet, was that a fake story fed to them or was it reality?
Trump's doctor at the time, Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson (who withdrew his nomination for Secretary of Veterans Affairs after a number of significant allegations), recommended a new diet since Trump, at a reported 6'3" and 239 pounds, was one pound below the obese guidelines. Those numbers — height and weight — may be overstating both height and weight.
Bloomberg News reported that Trump was adding salads and soups to the mix. The article is very specific as to whether or not he had stopped eating burgers.
"One person said it’s been two weeks since he saw the president eat a hamburger." That doesn't mean he has or hasn't, just not from the personal knowledge for one person.
We had the one report back on March 2 with no news, good or bad, since that report.

A change in habits. as opposed to a diet, doesn't last 2 weeks. Change comes over a longer period of time. And sometimes change isn't as extreme as you see on reality TV.
A 10% weight loss is considered an ideal goal to see improvement. That change would come out to 24 pounds for Trump.
A person who reportedly feasted regularly on a McDonald's dinner of two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, and a small chocolate shake — a total of 2,430 calories — does need a lot of help and a willingness to improve the self.
But Trump doesn't seem like the kind of person to admit a need to change or failure if lofty goals aren't met.
Admitting failure in trying a diet is part of the learning process. True failure is never trying for a better weight. We can take what we learn from earlier tries and apply them with a few new changes.
Honesty with one's self will help make losing weight easier.
