Private Conversation with Sylvester Stallone: My Secret to Staying Young
Some excerpts…
Sylvester Stallone, who plans to revive the RAMBO franchise, is no stranger to the ups and downs of dieting. For his acclaimed role in 1997’s COPLAND, he gained 50 pounds and admitted that it was fun eating everything he loved.
” What you weigh is only a problem if it bothers you, ” he said. He adheres to a high protein, exercises and drinks lots of water.” Water is the key to good health, ” he pointed out.
” I always try and follow a good diet of low carb and high protein, but I love starches like bread and butter. If there’s any around, watch out. ”
” The only plastic surgery I’ve had was on my face in 1982 when I had drastic weight loss, “ Sly said candidly.
“For ROCKY 2, I was 195 pounds, but when I did ROCKY 3, I was down to 160, ” he explained. ” It was a really drastic weight loss, so I had to have the atrophied muscles tightened on the left side of my face. ”
“Being married has raised the quality of my life to unexpected heights” added the twice divorced actor. ” You’re almost obligated to try to be healthy for your children. I want to be around to see them graduate and walk down the aisle. ”
The issue also includes 3 family album pictures. Real nice.
