Chris Christie (R-N.J.) has received more than 1,100 gifts since he took public office five years ago. And while that might sound nice in theory, 77 of the 600 books Christie received were about dieting and weight loss.

The books include titles like The Macho Man Diet and Leave the Cannoli, Take the Weights, according to NJ.com. The 77 titles covered diet, weight loss, exercise, and bariatric surgery.
