Roberto Bolle, Recovering Junk Food Addict

In an interview with Italian "OK" magazine that will make normal human beings with normal human metabolisms very sad, Roberto Bolle admits that until the moment when, ten years ago, he finally decided to watch what he ate and hire a nutritionist, he used to survive on frozen pizza, croissants, coffee, potato chips.

"I felt nauseated, I felt tired: junk food was my refuge from stress, but it really damaged my well-being. I came back to Milan from a stay in London and I decided to quit, cold turkey: calories were killing me. It was a Friday night, I threw frozen pizzas, croissants and the rest of that stuff in the trash. For three days, I detoxed: fresh fruit, veggies, lots of water. The first day was tough, I craved all that sugar and fat".

But he did manage to quit cold turkey, then immediately hired a nutritionist, and now his rock-hard abs are fueled, he explains, "by yoghurt, wild rice, farro, fish, meats, fruit and veggies" and about a gallon of mineral water a day (he found the perfect sponsor, after all).

He admits to the occasional transgression -- some chocolate, a glass of red wine, maybe a pasticcino. "Because junk food is tastier if it's the exception to the rule".
