Clive Palmer speaks on weight loss: ‘You don’t have to be fat’

EMBATTLED businessman Clive Palmer says he has dropped 40kg in four months and seeks to lose another 20kg, attributing the weight loss to a well-known health food ­delivery diet.

Mr Palmer said his weight loss was due to Lite n’ Easy, adding he was not endorsing the product or being paid.

“I’ve gone from 153kg right the way down to 111kg today and I’m aiming to get to 92kg,” he said.

“My wife does give me a daily kiss every time I weigh in on time and that creates the greatest incentive for me.

“I think it’s healthier, it’s a better example for people and it stands there to say, if you’re a fat person and you’re sick of being fat, you don’t have to be.”

Mr Palmer’s High Court bid to escape further public examination over the collapse of Queensland Nickel was unanimously dismissed yesterday.
