Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey has said that he only eats a meal per day and usually fast all weekend. In other words, he does not eat anything on Saturday and Sunday. At the end of the weekend fast, he breaks it by eating just once. This is…
Well, Dorsey disclosed his unusual eating habits in a podcast episode hosted by Ben Greenfield, a fitness influencer.
“The first time I did it, like day three, I felt like I was hallucinating,” Dorsey said. “It was a weird state to be in. But as I did it the next two times, it just became so apparent to me how much of our days are centred around meals and how the experience I had was when I was fasting for much longer, how time really slowed down.”
However, Dorsey is far from the only tech billionaire to play around with unique eating habits and controversial diet fads.
The late Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs, was known to go weeks only eating one or two foods at a time once, it was strictly carrots and apples. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made it his “personal challenge” in 2011 to only eat meat from animals he had killed himself.
There’s some science behind the belief that shows that intermittent fasting can be just as helpful for weight loss as traditional diets. While the diet’s benefits have been apparent in the short term, studies have also shown it’s hard to stick with and could lead to dehydration if not done correctly.
Should we be concerned about Jack Dorsey?
