Former Prime Minister and chairman of the Together party, Naftali Bennett, revealed on Thursday that he has lost approximately 17 kilograms since leaving office. In an interview with "Sari and Schlesinger" on Walla's studio, Bennett explained that his weight loss was achieved through a routine of heavy weight training four times a week, combined with dietary changes and the use of weight-loss injections.
Bennett detailed his workout regimen, stating he lifts 35 kilograms on each side during his weightlifting sessions. He also emphasized eating less and healthier foods, such as fruits and vegetables. He confirmed his use of diet injections as part of his weight loss strategy.
During the interview, the former prime minister also discussed his unusual diet, which includes protein pitas, which he called "one of the greatest inventions since the wheel," often filled with cream. He also consumes large amounts of chicken, preparing it in various ways, including with Coca-Cola, beer, onions, and garlic, humorously declaring himself a "chicken champion."
Bennett's revelation follows a similar disclosure by former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot in February of the same year. Eisenkot also told "Sari and Schlesinger" that he had used weight-loss injections, specifically Ozempic and later Wegovy, to shed 10 kilograms. Eisenkot also stated he avoids fried foods and red meat, preferring simple, cooked Moroccan dishes like spicy fish and couscous on Shabbat.
