The director does intermittent fasts of 36 hours

“It has not been easy,” acknowledged Santiago Segura. “It is a very hard world of suffering”, he states. The actor and film director has been on a strict diet, losing up to 80 kilos in the last year.

“People do not know to what extent obesity is a disease. It is disturbing to give that information and people do not know it.”

“There comes that dreaded moment of the year when I have to stare at these photos to get away from my terrible addiction, the invasion of French toast.” He wrote in a publication in April, along with some images of him with more weight: “Neither alcohol nor tobacco nor cocaine nor heroin nor crack. Put a torrija in front of me and I’ll go crazy.

On his last visit to El Hormiguero, Pablo Motos was shocked by the physical change of his guest who confessed that it was Leo Harlem who advised him on the subject and began to learn about nutrition. “I do 36-hour fasts, something that I do not recommend to anyone”.

A technique that he recognizes as “dangerous” but that “works for him”, although he insisted that “it is not recommended for everyone”.
