It's no secret that Chris Pratt lost a ton of weight when he trained and followed an extensive diet for the first outing of "Guardians of the Galaxy" in 2014. But these days, the "Avengers" star is keeping the weight off by following a popular diet.
Pratt revealed that he's been doing intermittent fasting to lose more weight faster, according to People. He said that he doesn't start eating until it's noon, but he's also not depriving himself of the food and drinks he'd like to taste.
For instance, Pratt said he could finally enjoy a cup of coffee with oat milk when he's off the fasting phase. But when he's on intermittent fasting, he makes sure to take his coffee black. He confirmed that the diet has been working for him so far and he encouraged his online followers to read up on intermittent fasting if they would like to try this out.
Intermittent fasting, which is also called the 5:2 diet, is not strictly a new diet. In some cultures, people follow some form of intermittent fasting as part of their religious practices. But in 2015, it became a fad in Western countries. Even tech experts in California's Silicon Valley have jumped the bandwagon.
They call intermittent fasting biohacking. Ideally, those who follow the diet eat their normal amount and choices of food for five days and then take only 500 calories of food for two days.
According to Harvard Health, there are tons of medical and scientific materials that present both the negative and positive sides to intermittent fasting. But it's still more important to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle and never try this diet if you are a diabetic or if you suffer from an eating disorder.
Meanwhile, divorced from ex-wife Anna Faris since mid-2018, Pratt is reportedly dating the daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, Katherine Schwarzenegger. In another People report, the Star Lord spent Thanksgiving with his girlfriend's family.
The new couple has been seeing each other since June. Sources who've seen them together said that the actor is quite comfortable around her family. They have also spent time with Katherine's famous dad and his girlfriend, Heather Milligan. At the same time, Katherine has also met her boyfriend's family.
Pratt has a six-year-old son, Jack, with his ex-wife. They have agreed to joint custody of their only child.
