Chris Martin Only Eats 6 Days a Week


When it comes to a strict diet, Chris Martin is giving his ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, a run for her money.

During an interview with Fresh 102.7, the Coldplay frontman revealed that he follows the 6:1 diet, which means refraining from eating on the seventh day of the week and only drinking water.

“Creativity is one of the benefits of it,” he explained. “I started doing it because I was sick one time, and this guy said to me, ‘Try not eating for a day, it will make your body feel healthier.’ And actually I did it and I found I could sing a bit better, and also I felt so grateful for food … and very grateful for everything in a way that I wasn’t so much before. I think that the feeling of gratitude naturally brings out a joyous feeling, and when you are hungry you are very focused, so both sides of it help creativity."

However, the 38-year-old singer admitted that following a day of fasting, he doesn’t eat the healthiest. "You’re supposed to go for something like a kale salad. I tend to have Nutella and pancakes, which is terrible and completely defeats the point,” he laughed.
