One Nation’s NSW leader Mark Latham’s diet and exercise secrets to lose 20kg in 7 weeks

Mark Latham has revealed how he lost 25kg in just four months – and guarantees anyone who follows his diet and exercise tips – and cuts out bread – can shed 20kg in seven weeks.

The 62-year-old One Nation leader looks trim and fighting fight ahead of the NSW state election on March 25th, which is just as well given some polls are tipping the party could substantially increase its sway in parliament.

Polling suggests the party could pick up another two seats in the upper house, giving the party more of a say in government.

Latham is campaigning on a platform of cheaper, more reliable electricity, including from nuclear, as well as better standards in the state’s schools. 

Much like his no-nonsense approach to politics, Latham reveals he shed the kilograms off his 62-year-old frame.

The Latham fitness regime: How to shed fad in two months  

Breakfast: Fruit 

Lunch: Salad

Dinner: Chicken and vegetables

Cut out: Sugar, alcohol, dairy and bread.

Exercise: 90 minutes a day – a combination of gym circuits, HIIT, and walking

The One Nation leader’s lunch: Sweet potato, lentils, leek and parsleys salad

With a busy schedule in 2023, he committed to getting in shape in the second half of last year and went hard for four months.

He not only slashed his calories, but found time for between 60 and 90 minutes in the gym doing a mix of strength training and cardio. 

‘I lost 25kg last year between June and October,’ he told Daily Mail Australia.

‘I went on a simple diet of fruit for breakfast, salad for lunch and steamed veggies and chicken for dinner.’

‘There are three elements to losing weight: Diet, exercise and time.

‘Last year I forced myself to find the time, which is the key element for busy people – and much harder now in the election campaign.’

But what he wasn’t eating was just as important, he said.

Keeping a lid on empty calories from sweet treats and booze, along with limited milk, yoghurt, cream and eggs was vital.

But he also limited his intake of starchy processed flour products. 

‘I cut out the obvious: sugar, alcohol and dairy. But I also found dropping bread was hugely beneficial,’ he admitted.

‘Do this and 90 minutes of exercise daily – walking and gym combined – and I guarantee you’ll lose 20kg in seven weeks.’

The election effect: How Anthony Albanese shed 15kg before becoming PM

Anthony Albanese has lost 15kgs by overhauling his diet and exercise regime in preparation for a gruelling election fight against Scott Morrison.

In 2021 he dramatically transformed his physique by giving up alcohol for three months, cutting out carbs and installing a treadmill in his Canberra office.

Mr Albanese decided he wanted to slim down in 2020 in preparation for the Three Capes walk, a three-day, 48km trek in south-east Tasmania, which he completed in January the following year.

The father-of-one continued his healthier diet and exercise regime after completing the walk, lost 15kgs in less than a year and has since kept it off.

Diet: The Labor leader has largely cut out carbs and unhealthy snacks. He has eggs instead of cereal for breakfast, salad for lunch and meat and two veg for dinner instead of pasta or potatoes.

Drink: Mr Albanese cut out alcohol for three months and now only drinks on the weekend instead of during the week.

Exercise: The 58-year-old has installed a treadmill in his office, goes on long walks with his dog and plays tennis twice a week. He also rides his bike

Sleep: Mr Albanese said he’s sleeping better and is mentally fitter due to his weight loss

Mr Albanese gave up beer and wine for three months to slim down. Before, was often pictured drinking craft beer. He is pictured at a Sydney pub in May 2019
