How Did Freddie Mercury Stay So Trim?

The AIDS diet plan.

AIDs.

SPEED& SEMEN

TROLL

Yeah, yeah, besides the coke and AIDS, duh.

Was he a vegetarian?

- OP

I thought I remembered some interview with Mary that said he wasn’t into food.

Is Penis Vegetarian? I thought it was meat?

All dat cum he ate-had shot up his ass killed him!!

Jesus Christ

He was trim even before his tragic latter days, trolls.

r7 some would say gay dick is closer to tofu while str8 dick is all cheese

Running around on stage several hours every night is the most likely reason.

I gotta believe it was Speed and semen...sounds better!!

not a troll OP..GOD you are sooo mean!!

He was on the Watermelon Diet, like Liberace

Cigarettes , cocaine, cocaine and more cocaine.

Cocaine, Rose

Well, I guess I have to get back on the blow. I haven’t called my dealer Swain in 20 years.

He was very into fashion, and his former personal assistant, Phoebe, has mentioned his strict, healthy diet on numerous occasions.

Of course, Freddie also loved a good cigarette, which helped suppress hunger pangs. Combine that with working long days in the studio, intense world tours and him running across the stage, and you've got yourself the recipe for a man who never ever looked out of shape.

The cocaine helped, too, of course. There's no denying that.

See, people, now Dutchie is actually being helpful, even though he and his countrymen can be huge cunts.

What is your problem, R18?

Oh relax, Miss Thing. I was just teasing you.

MARY!

Genes. Some people just never want to eat a lot. They might take a bite or two of a lot of different foods but they just don't eat a lot overall.

R13 - Liberace loved flowers! He always kept roses on the piano, and tulips on the organ!

R22 - People only know about his piano playing because he sucked on the organ.

He had AIDS for years you know.

R21 - I was 145 lbs for decades. Still not much over that.

I am sure he wanted twolips on his organ. Wouldnt you ?

W&W, r22.

Gastric bypass. Clearly.

Unlike me. I work at it through great effort and will power.

They're mostly uncut in England, so he probably had a lot of head cheese in his diet, too.

It was normal in those days as very few people were so morbidly obese, like you are, OP. People had to exert themselves to get/buy/eat something.

Orgies and coke.

OP's Future = ABFFOVUTA

OP Freddie was no thinner than Brian, John or Roger. It was the 70's and people didn't eat fast food for every meal back then. Also, drugs, lots of drugs.

The cabbage soup diet was really in back then.

Watermelon diet

He religiously followed Joan Crawford's diet tips from "My Way of Life."

Genetics obviously played a part.

R34 fast food was all we ate, but it was much better then.

R39, I'm a McDonald's Apple Pie from the 80s and I beg to differ with you.

Freddie stayed thin because he was so very fabulous, darling! I will never forget Freddie strutting on the stage in that red velvet cape and crown. He was a master showman. He was one of a kind and is still missed so very dearly.

Was he more of a Greek active or Greek passive?

cocaine, then AIDS

[quote]Donna asked about Freddie’s eating habits. As I have said before, Freddie was a very light eater. Some of us live to eat, but Freddie was one of those people who ate to live. He was the master of moving food around the plate to give the appearance of having eaten a good amount. He did enjoy good food, but really didn’t need to consume very much. He loved entertaining guests at meals in the dining room at Garden Lodge and was able to disguise his non-eating by making sure everyone else was ok during the meal. Don’t get me wrong, Freddie always ate enough to keep him going, but I can’t remember one time when he leant back in the chair saying ‘I’m stuffed!’

coke

All bow to the Queen.

As per R44 - see - he just didn't eat a huge amount. I think that appetite is largely determined by genes. Some people just luck out and can not eat a lot. I mean, in the past, having a bigger appetite would be better for survival but nowadays with the proliferation of cheap carbs and food, it's not necessary and backfires health-wise.

AIDS

R48 A lot of this was before AIDS took hold though?

Yes, r44! That’s the interview I was thinking of.

If you Google photos of Freddie as a teenager he was always very thin. He just had a thin build.

R51 You can have a thin build but still overeat. The big thing here is how and why he didn't overeat.

Exactly.

Stop saying AIDS, for Christ sake. By the time he was very sick with AIDS, he had stopped performing.

Thank you R44, that was one of the tidbits I was referring to R17, although I remember reading something about Freddie eating mostly lean stuff? Fish, vegetables..

Thanks for posting it.
