The man who wants to live as long as possible has a new-ish lease on life.<\/p>\n

Known for outlandish tactics<\/a> to delay death, Bryan Johnson recently admitted he may have taken things too far.<\/p>\n

Even after his recent revelation, though, the biohacker still steers clear of popular junk foods and has a different definition of treating himself.<\/p>\n

\"BryanDespite wondering if he\u2019s taken his longevity quest too far, Bryan Johnson doesn\u2019t consider junk foods a treat. Bryan Johnson\/Blueprint<\/p>\n

After being diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease<\/a>, the 48-year-old made a candid confession on X<\/a>, wondering \u201cif I\u2019ve taken this whole longevity thing too far.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he\u2019s sticking to his guns and his healthy habits, including not indulging in foods that bring joy to many, like beer and pizza.<\/p>\n

Instead, Johnson said he treats himself by continuing to do what he\u2019s doing and chasing the feeling it brings him.<\/p>\n

\u201cA treat is a reward, right? And my reward is to feel amazing,\u201d Johnson told The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tech mogul went on to say that when he feels energetic, clear-headed and in a stable mood, that \u201cit\u2019s just really a great way to navigate life.\u201d<\/p>\n

While many centenarians cite a regular indulgence like a daily whiskey or dessert, Johnson scoffs at the idea, preferring routine over indulgence.<\/p>\n

\"BryanInstead of consuming pizza or beer, Johnson said feeling amazing, energetic and clear-headed is what brings him joy. Bryan Johnson \/ X<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople find it incomprehensible that I wouldn\u2019t want to eat a doughnut, or a pizza, and have beer,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThose things just make me sick. I can\u2019t even imagine. It wrecks my sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, he sticks to an intermittent fasting diet of no more than 2,250 calories per day, eating between 6 and 11 am<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This window of eating allows him to eat his final meal of the day at least four hours before bedtime, which is an early 8:30 pm for Johnson.<\/p>\n

He drinks green juice laced with creatine and collagen peptides \u2014 the one exception to his vegan diet \u2014 first thing, followed by a\u00a0few pounds of veggies paired with a tablespoon of dark chocolate.<\/p>\n

Protein is sourced from legumes like lentils and chickpeas, as well as pea and hemp protein. Then, he\u2019ll cap off the day with his infamous\u00a0nutty pudding.<\/p>\n

Despite his strict way of living, Johnson claims he\u2019s feeling his best and experiencing joy just by being alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe greatest joy in my day is that I don\u2019t feel depressed,\u201d he said. \u201cEven though I take so much heat in the world, so much hate is pointed in my direction, I feel great, I\u2019m having fun and I enjoy life.\u201d<\/p>\n

And although he does host early morning raves or early-bird gatherings where food is served, he claims he\u2019ll \u201cput food on [the] plate and kind of nibble at it,\u201d to soothe social conditions.<\/p>\n

For Johnson, bad habits like eating junk food or drinking alcohol are simply a no-go, likening his quest for longevity to a career.<\/p>\n

\u201cRejuvenation is my sport \u2014 I\u2019m playing it as an athlete,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a discipline and profession for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The man who wants to live as long as possible has a new-ish lease on life.
