You’ve heard of the Atkins Diet, the South Beach Diet, the Zone Diet.
Well, brace yourself for the Buffett Diet.
At 84, and with $72.8 billion and counting, Warren Buffett stirs interest when asked that age-young question: How do you do it?
The answer: Eat like a 6-year-old.
“I’m one-quarter Coca-Cola,” the chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway told Fortune magazine of the beverage giant in which he owns $16 billion in stock.
“If I eat 2,700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I drink at least five 12-ounce servings. I do it every day.”
The Oracle of Omaha says his diet is high-sugar and high-salt and he said he changed his eating to mirror a boy that age.
“I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among 6-year-olds. So I decided to eat like [one],” he told the magazine.
“It’s the safest course I can take.”
A 6-year-old without a mother to second-guess him, that is. He told Fortune that for a recent breakfast he “had a bowl of chocolate-chip ice cream.”
