Action Bronson’s Diet

Summary

Bronson loves to eat and has always struggled with portion control. In 2020, he tipped the scales at over 400 lbs. A laundry list of health problems including pre-diabetes, asthma and eczema, combined with the happy event of the birth of his son prompted him to clean up his act. He started eating healthier and exercising. As a former chef and extreme foodie, giving up rich food was tough, but he says it was worth it. He has lost a whopping 130 lbs. in one year. One of his go-tos in his new diet is green juice, made from kale, green apple, ginger and lemon which he totes around all day in a gallon jug. He also emphasizes foods that are filling but not high-calorie, like lean protein and complex carbs. He does not eat carbs at night.

Action Bronson’s Lifestyle

Facing Fears

Bronson says his health issues including pre-diabetes, asthma and eczema had him worried he wouldn’t live to see his kids grow up.

The Right Message

Bronson’s health renaissance was also triggered in part by his desire to write a self-help book. He realized his weight was inconsistent with the ideas he wanted to convey.

Secret Sauce

Bronson’s secret to baby-soft skin is cocoa butter, but not just the regular stuff. He uses the one made for stretch marks. He says it doesn’t get rid of stretch marks, but it does amazing things for your skin.

Food Rapping

One of the hallmarks of Bronson’s raps is to sing about food. Tracks include ‘Jerk Chicken,’ ‘Brunch,’ and ‘Lamb Over Rice.’

Special Scent

Bronson is concerned about BO. He uses Secret deodorant and wears floral women’s perfumes because he says they are the only things that combat his smell.

Serious About Sun Protection

Bronson loves his Oakley sunglasses so much, he had an image of them tattooed on his arm. He also carries a spare pair of dressier sunglasses by Dior — but no tattoo of them, yet. 

Unique Travel Gear

Bronson travels with a stack of notebooks which he uses to jot down rhymes and doodles. He also brings along a baseball, just because he likes the way it feels in his hand. He says that, once upon a time, he could have gone pro.
