Robert Pattinson once ate only POTATOES for two weeks to lose weight

Robert Pattinson has revealed that he once ate only potatoes for two weeks to “cleanse” his body in a revealing interview in which he referred to “insidious and addictive” body standards.

The 36-year-old Batman star said EN Magazine she had tried ‘every fad but consistency’ in her quest for the perfect physique, while detailing the Spartan diet she followed to ‘detox’ her body.

He said: ‘Once I 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.’

He added: “Even if you’re just watching your calorie intake, it’s extraordinarily addictive, and you don’t realize how insidious it is until it’s too late.”

Pattinson said he had “basically tried every fad you can think of, everything except consistency” and said he once tried the ketogenic diet, a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle.

He said: ‘I was like, ‘Oh, is there a diet where you just eat cold cuts and cheese all the time?’ But I didn’t realize that you can’t have beer as it completely defeats the purpose.

In March, the Twilight star revealed some of his techniques for getting in shape to play Bruce Wayne/Batman in The Batman.

The British actor opened up about some of his fitness secrets for getting into Batman shape in a new interview with People.

The heartthrob revealed that one of his techniques was to even limit his sips of water to highlight his physique much more.

“I had about three months before the movie started, and then you’re working out before and after work all the time,” Pattinson revealed.

“You just cut and cut and cut before the couple of scenes with the shirt off, and you’re counting sips of water,” the actor added.

The technique of counting sips of water is used in amateur wrestling to reduce weight and by bodybuilders before a big show.

A Muscle and fitness The article recommends that, on the day of the show, a bodybuilder should simply take “minor sips” of water before judging, a technique that Pattinson mirrored for his Batman look.

While she only had a few months to get into proper shape, she revealed that “shame is my biggest motivation, 100%.”

When Pattinson wasn’t shirtless on film, he often donned his iconic Batsuit, which reveals that helped him connect with the character even more.

“It’s fun because you read the script and you spend a lot of time trying to figure out, ‘How can I play this character who does these kinds of bold acts?'” Pattinson began.

“And the closer I got to the shoot, the more and more paranoid I got, you know, it feels ridiculous when you’re sitting at home in a T-shirt, and then you put it on. He has elemental power,” he added.

He went on to say that, while wearing the suit, “people react differently to you, the crew react differently.” Your whole world suddenly changes.

And then you catch this glimpse as the subtle reflection or a shadow on the ground and you realize that the character is so much bigger than you. It’s like wearing a crown or something,” Pattinson clarified.
