The Warren Buffett Diet

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett, 84, has a very unique diet. Forbes reports that Buffett has stated, "I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among six-year-olds. So I decided to eat like a six-year-old. It's the safest course I can take." Buffett also jokes that he's one quarter Coca-Cola. He likes the drink so much that he drinks three during the day, and two at night. For breakfast, he likes to accompany his morning Coke with Utz potato sticks, but on the day of the interview, had chocolate chip ice cream for breakfast. His daily caloric intake is around 2700 calories per day, 25% of which is just Coca-Cola.

  1. I'm on, basically, the same diet, and it doesn't seem to be doing me much good.

    2. Vip- i didnt hv soda probably until i was a teenager. Wasnt interested in it. We drank water or home made ice tea every night, and loads of fruit juice other times. . To this day if im thirsty, i want water. We had plenty of food and snacks in the house, but no chios or cheetos or anything like that. Fig newtons, raison squares, dried fruit, ice cream, pretzels were our snacks. No mac and cheese, never had pizza or takeout, dinner every night, protein, veggies and a starch. Eat that diet, Warren, lol!!!!

  6. A six year old lives on peanut butter and mac and cheese, not coke and crisps. Dude is 84 and richer than Croesus, though. I think it's one of those things like people who live super healthy lives get cancer and longtime chain smokers who drink whiskey daily live to their 90s.

    2. I imagine Warren is partly joking and he eats a lot of healthy stuff and exercises and he clearly keeps active and it all must counteracts his coke habit LOL, shocked he doesn't have Type 2 diabetes though.

  7. How many calories is a can of coke? 2700 calories is a lot of cals to consume in a day unless your an athlete.

  8. Refreshing to tead someone's honest account of their diet, instead of usual bullshit. You know- i eat a carrot smoothie for breakfast and a slice of multigrain toast, then for lunch a salad with lemon sprinkled on it and for dinner, 3 oz broiled chicken, no skin and a plum. C'mon, no one can exist on that!!!!!I
