What’s Peter Jackson’s Weight Loss Secret? Most of us have an image of the Lord of the Rings movie maker as a portly, bespectacled man reminiscent of one of his Hobbit characters.
In fact, film industry insiders and Jackson fans began to notice Peter Jackson’s new look about a year ago. But with all the hype surrounding his soon-to-be-released feature King Kong, the public has largely woken up to a thinner, glasses-free version of the man and started thinking about the Peter Jackson diet.
And it’s not hard to see why there’s so much interest. Peter Jackson’s weight loss has been impressive – he’s dropped some 70 pounds (32 kg).
So what’s her diet secret?
Was it the South Beach Diet? The Cave Man Diet? Atkins Diet?
Obesitycures.com did some research and found that Jackson didn’t follow any popular fad diets. The real secret to the Peter Jackson weight loss phenomenon has been dubbed the “Skull Island Diet” after King Kong’s fictional island home.
Jackson, receiving all the attention for his new image, emphasizes lifestyle changes rather than diet as his weight loss.
“I’m just tired of being overweight and unfit, so I changed my diet from hamburgers to yogurt and muesli and it seems to be working,” Jackson told Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper.
Jackson reportedly doesn’t follow any specific exercise program, but has spoken several times about his 21-hour-a-day work schedule on the King Kong set, which no doubt played a part in his weight loss.
Jackson said he was cutting during the day and shooting during the night for months, surviving on three hours of sleep. “I thought I was some kind of superman, but it pissed me off.”
And what about Jackson’s newfound spectacle-free status? No, unfortunately losing weight does not improve your vision. Jackson underwent laser eye surgery, explaining that he was “tired of being outside with the rain and dust on his glasses”.
