Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) has lost six pounds, but in an unconventional way.

The lawmaker has been tweeting about it, writing about his weight loss on Friday morning.

Murphy is taking part of the weeklong SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) Challenge, which encourages participants to live like millions of low-income Americans live, on an average of $4 a day.
