Bryan Johnson believes that diet plays a crucial role in longevity. Science too backs the importance of diet in health and longevity. He consumes about 2250 calories a day, which is 10% caloric restriction from the RDA. These include:
Bryan Johnson takes his first meal – breakfast at 6:45 am, which is a blueberry nut mix with collagen protein, extra virgin olive oil, and cocoa. At 9 am, he has his second meal of the day, which includes black lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, and some herbs, with fermented foods. He takes his final meal of the day at 11 am. Yes, that’s right. It is a combination of veggies, nuts, seeds, and berries. Well, his diet wasn’t always like this. Talking about his transformative journey, he recalls, “Years ago, I could not stop myself from overeating every day at 7 pm. One day, out of desperation, I said, “Evening, Bryan, you’re fired. You make my life miserable. I can’t sleep. I’m 60 lbs overweight and I feel awful all the time.”
He also avoids sugar, junk food, fried food, highly processed foods, gums, high-fructose corn syrup, aspartame, sucralose, dairy, pasta, bread, hydrogenated oils, canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, trans fats, and alcohol.
