Tony Robbins’s Diet
Summary
Robbins is a proponent of the ‘Fit for Life’ diet created by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. This diet focuses on fresh vegetables and fruits, particularly ones that have a high water content. It is low on meat and animal products including dairy. Robbins believes that seventy percent of your intake should come from ‘live’ foods, ones containing mostly water. Food combining is another important component of this diet, such as eating fruit on an empty stomach and not eating proteins with carbohydrates. Robbins backed off eating fish exclusively after discovering dangerously high levels of heavy metals in his blood.
Estimated Macros

- Medium Fat 30%
- High Quality Carb 55%
