He told reporters at the Presidential office “[The reduction of my weight] is a result of this diet, not a stroke.“
President said he planned to lose another 3 to 5 kilograms.
He said “I have taken the diet so that I can be as energetic as journalists.”
Presidential special staff on information affairs Heru Lelono earlier said that Yudhoyono had stopped eating various fried foods and had begun eating roast fish, tofu and yogurt.
This was the second time Yudhoyono denied a stroke rumor.The rumor came after Yudhoyono conducted an annual health checkup at the Gatot Subroto Army Central Hospital (RSPAD) in Central Jakarta in April, which was made just four days after he met a team of Presidential doctors.
