Terence Stamp on his healthy eating regime |
|
"I don't drink tea or coffee. They dry out my skin, give me psoriasis on my cheeks which is a problem for an actor. I carry Chinese tea with me - it's the only herbal tea I can find that tastes of anything. I drink mineral water, rather than tap water. I'm a vegetarian, though I reintroduced fish to my diet two years ago - I need it to cope with the stress of middle age! But the big killers as far as relationships with women go, are that I don't eat sugar or wheat. Sugar gives me spots and wheat, sores in my mouth. I'm used to cooking for myself and use buckwheat flour or rice flour, but most girls want to cook for blokes, and socially, my diet is complicated." (1990) "I diagnosed it myself, I must have read about it somewhere. I put myself on what they call an exclusion diet, where I ate brown rice for like . . . a month, and then introduced foods one at a time. It just became apparent that the bad boys were wheat and dairy. Eating wheat was like swallowing glue... (When dining with a companion:) I didn't talk about it much, to be honest. As long as they're enjoying what they're eating, people don't tend to notice what you're eating." " (2001) |
