Republican presidential candidate and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush has revealed he lost 40 lbs since adopting the Paleo diet in December 2014.

“My motivation is what gives me joy,” Jeb Bush told a reporter in the all-important primary state of Iowa.

“I feel compelled to share that joy with people, not to strike fear or give them the sense that the world is coming to an end.”

Jeb Bush is to be commended for his commitment to personal fitness, especially as he is seeking the Republican nomination to run for a party whose constituents are statistically fatter than the other guys.
