Tom Cruise is a living Hollywood legend who seems to defy time. In his early 60s, he continues to perform dangerous stunts, showcasing incredible physical shape and a youthful appearance. Thanks to his diet, the actor has shed excess weight and remains in excellent condition.
What diet was Tom Cruise on
The core of Tom Cruise's diet is a low-carb, high-protein regimen. This approach helps effectively burn fat, maintain muscle mass, and provide stable energy levels without sudden blood sugar spikes.
The body learns to use fat as the main energy source, instead of fast carbs (bread, pasta, sweets). High protein intake promotes satiety, supports muscle recovery after intense workouts, and helps avoid overeating.

Another remarkable detail: the star reportedly consumes only 1,200 calories per day. That's a relatively low intake, typically leading to rapid weight loss. However, it allows Tom to maintain lean muscle mass and phenomenal endurance, given his intense lifestyle and constant physical exertion on set.
This unique diet is rumored to have been designed by none other than David Beckham, another fitness and style icon known for his meticulous approach to health.
