Robert Pattinson Slams Male Beauty Standard In Hollywood, Says He Once Ate Potatoes For Two Weeks As A Detox
deadline.comRobert Pattinson was discussing the pressure male actors face in Hollywood to uphold particular beauty standards when he told the ES Magazine that he once ate only boiled potatoes for two weeks as part of a weight loss detox. “I have basically tried every fad you can think of, everything except consistency,” Pattinson said when asked about his own experience with dieting regimes. “I once ate nothing but potatoes for two weeks as a detox.
Just boiled potatoes and Himalayan pink salt. Apparently, it’s a cleanse… you definitely lose weight.” Pattinson added that he once tried a keto diet, a popular low-carb, high-fat diet largely comprised of meat, cheese, and vegetables.
However, the Batman actor said he didn’t last long on the regime. “I tried to do keto once. I was like, Oh, there’s a diet where you just eat charcuterie boards and cheese all the time?

Pattinson added that the pressure to retain a certain look in Hollywood can often feel “crazy,” and it is easy to become consumed by efforts to stay trim. “Even if you’re just watching your calorie intake, it’s extraordinarily addictive — and you don’t quite realize how insidious it is until it’s too late,” he said.
