You Wouldn’t Believe how good Nick Hexum looks. Seriously, it’s like the 49-year-old frontman of 311 has been suspended in Amber. Hexum, who is touring this summer and about to release a new album, recently told People that it’s all thanks to the low carb ketogenic diet.
He’s not the only celebrity to sing keto’s praises; Halle Berry, LeBron James and Vinny Guadagnino are all fans. And while some struggle with the restrictions involved in keto, Hexum said he finds ways to have fun with the diet: “I don’t like to be too strict. I don’t want to take the fun out of it and completely deprive myself… Most of the year I just eat a lot of eggs, salmon, I love macadamia nuts, stuff like that. I eat out plenty. I don’t feel like I’m depriving myself. Some people try to eat too clean. I’m like, ‘Just go crazy with the fats: butter, cheese, bacon.’ Let it be fun!”
