Usher has an interesting dietary habit. The 45-year-old Grammy winner opened up about his health and wellness routine to WSJ. Magazine, including why he doesn’t eat any meals on Wednesdays. “I fast, not for religious purposes, but it’s something my grandmother practiced,” he began to explain. Keep reading to find out more… “I fast on Wednesdays. I typically try to start around 11 p.m. the previous day, then go the entire day on Wednesday just drinking water.” When it’s not Wednesday, he indulges in different meals: “I sometimes eat eggs scrambled with cheese. For the most part, I like them poached or over easy.” “I don’t like to eat breakfast before I’ve worked out or done something physical…taking a walk, stretching or doing yoga, sitting in the sun and raising my body’s natural heat levels. Then I eat,” he added. “Normally, my workout regimen starts either walking or with certain knee activations and reverse walking that I do to really engage my quads, my knees and glutes. Other than that, swimming is a really good thing to get me going, and bike riding. Weight lifting, don’t do a lot of that.” He also shared more about his self-care. “I try to wake up early enough to have a moment of reflection,” he said. “Some days I may grab a book and read to stimulate my mind. I may sit quietly and meditate.” “One thing that is a frequent practice is yoga. It really does help to activate my organs and get my mind moving in the right direction—as Tony Robbins would say, ‘make my move,’ you know what I mean?” he added. He also revealed his first celebrity crush is someone he’s dated.
