From strict diets to intense workout regimens, bodybuilders dedicate their lives to achieving and maintaining an exceptional physique. But while bodybuilding has long been associated with sacrifices and discipline, popular fitness icon and actor Alan Ritchson doesn’t feel the same way. The 40-year-old has recently grabbed the limelight with his unconventional approach to fitness and diet. In a recent interview, the Hollywood actor revealed that his daily routine allows him to indulge in his favorite foods without guilt.

According to a recent Instagram post by “Will Fitness Hub,” Alan Ritchson follows a moderation-based diet, allowing himself to eat whatever he wants. In a podcast with Rich Eisen, he even proudly admitted to enjoying a slice of pizza whenever he desired and indulging in a giant sundae at dinner with his agent. While this approach may seem unconventional, Ritchson argues that his overall lifestyle of health and fitness allows him this flexibility.
