Terry Crews explains how intermittent fasting keeps him in shape by Jacqui Frank and Lamar Salter on Mar 1, 2017, 12:29 PM Terry Crews, actor, former NFL player, and the host of Netflix's "Ultimate Beastmaster," discusses the diet he's followed for the last five years to stay in great shape. Full Transcript: My first meal is at 2 p.m. And then I eat from 2 to 10. Over the last five years, I have been doing intermittent fasting. And, so what happens is I work out very very early in the morning, but then I don’t eat. My first meal is at 2 p.m. And then I eat from 2 to 10. Now, within the times I don’t eat, the fasting period, which is a 16-hour fasting, I drink amino acids drinks. I’ll have coffee maybe tea. Sometimes I’ll have a little coconut oil on a spoon that makes you feel a little satiated, that kind of thing. But it’s never a meal. And then, once I get on my meals, it’s good. Now, the problem with intermittent fasting is that you never want to have a bad meal. Cause you’re like, “I waited all day, 16 hours for this?” Over the last five years, it’s really kept me in great great shape. They found scientifically there’s a thing called autophagy. Autophagy is when the cells in your body are rebuilding themselves. It’s one of those things where you go without the food, it's — it really strengthens your cells. The cells are trying to rebuild and they’re trying to do their thing and it’s a wonderful thing. It’s kind of like renewed. Once it’s done digesting, the body’s done working with food, it starts to work on other cells in the body. I can feel the difference. I literally can put pictures of myself now versus pictures of myself at 22 years old and I look and feel much better right now.
