Believe it or not, actor Rob Lowe's started over 40 years ago, in 1979, on the sitcom A New Kind of Family. Today, the 57-year-old 9-1-1: Lone Star star has looked the same. Just take a look at the pictures of him young versus the photos of him today - it's like some kind of magic trick! What's the secret of Lowe's incredible looks? Well, the actor says that about 20 years ago, he realized he had started to feel worse and worse. So, then in his 30s, Lowe knew something had to change. "Everyone comes to the point sooner or later where you realize you can't eat like you're in college anymore," he said. "I hadn't realized it was a thing, but it changed my life."
At first, Lowe tried all different kinds of diets. However, in the end, he opted for a low-carb diet. And it worked! Over the past 20 years, the Hollywood star has stuck to cooking lean meats and fish for most of his meals, along with lots of fruits and vegetables. Now, Lowe is happy to help others with their diet goals!
Diet For Energy And Focus

"This way of eating gives me way more energy during the day. I'm not tired after a meal, I'm more focused and it enables me to train harder," Lowe said in a recent interview with People Magazine. "It also keeps my weight down even though I don't use it as a diet." But don't think that Lowe never has a cheat meal. Even over the past 20 years, the actor has never lost his sweet tooth. "I love to cheat — I love pizza and I love cheeseburgers, and ice cream and nachos. Life without that stuff isn't worth living," Lowe explained.
Most important of all, The Outsiders actor listens to his body and sticks to healthy options. Obviously, his routine doesn't just maintain his body, it also keeps him employed in showbusiness. "I have to get enough sleep, work out, eat right. I look at myself as no different than a professional athlete," Lowe said. "If you go to sleep on it, you can't expect to have the energy to be diverse and have longevity."
