OK – I admit it I am a Rolling Stones fanatic as are quite a few here. We are all aware of his fitness level and that he works out regularly. However, what is his diet like? Obviously not “burger and beer” based so I thought I would research it.
In the entourage he has both a personal trainer and a nutritionist. His basic diet seems to be based on the Keto principles – low carbs and high protein (basically a low GI one). This consists of the healthy pasta, rice, bread and potato options with plenty of fruit and veg, and mainly fish and chicken making up the main protein sources (in addition to beans and lentils). On tour he ups his carb intake with a pasta meal some hours before a performance to slowly release the energy he needs to typically cover 12 miles during a two hour performance. In fact on tour it appears to veer from Keto to elite athlete diet. He also takes vitamins and cod liver oil, and the occasional alcoholic drink.
