Jack Dorsey, the CEO of social media platform Twitter has just revealed that he stays healthy and manages his stress via a strict diet.
According to the 42-year old who is worth about $5.3billion, he eats only once a day, fasts on weekends, and ensures he walks five miles to work.
Dorsey made this known on the March 15 podcast with Ben Greenfield Fitness.
‘During the day, I feel so much more focused. … You have this very focused point of mind in terms of this drive,’ Dorsey said about having his only meal between 6.30pm and 9pm.
‘I’ll go from Friday ’til Sunday. I won’t have dinner on Friday. I won’t have dinner or any meal on Saturday. And the first time I’ll eat will be Sunday evening. I’ve done that three times now where I do [an] extended fast where I’m just drinking water,’ Dorsey revealed.
‘The first time I did it, like day three, I felt like I was hallucinating. 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 centered around meals and how — the experience I had was when I was fasting for much longer, how time really slowed down.’
According to him, the only supplements he takes are ‘a multivitamin and a lot of vitamin C’ at dinnertime.
‘The time back from breakfast and lunch allowed me to focus more on what my day is,’ he continued. ‘I can go to bed and actually knock out in 10 minutes, if not sooner than that. It really changed how quickly I felt asleep and more so how deep I felt I was sleeping.’
According to the CEO he does seven minutes of exercise per day using the Seven app, also gets in more exercise by walking briskly for an hour and 15 minutes every day to work.
‘I don’t have a personal trainer. I don’t go to a gym,’ he admits.
He added: ‘I might look a little bit more like I’m jogging than I’m walking. It’s refreshing … It’s just this one of those take-back moments where you’re like, ‘Wow, I’m alive!”
