Actor and athlete among the most influential in his milieu, both admired by some and mocked by others, Jean-Claude Van Damme is a special personality in the world showbiz. And if the native of Belgium continues to carry out his career with brio, it is partly because he manages to stay at the top of his form… in particular thanks to his food choices.
For some, the weight of the years seems to be weaker than for others. This is clearly the case for Jean-Claude Van Damme, who still displays a radiant physique despite his 62 springs. The proof with this snapshot dated a few months ago, which shows “JCVD” with impressive musculature, especially in the arms:
Jean-Claude Van Damme reveals what he eats
In an interview given to GQ a few years ago, the one sometimes nicknamed “Muscles From Brussels” revealed his secrets and tips for keeping this arch-optimal shape:
I’ve come to a point where I understand nutrition, its pluses and minuses. I eat more when I train, obviously. I’m not really a meat or fish eater. I eat a lot of vegetables, pasta, salads and hummus. But it’s also important to add Omega-3s. You need Omegas. You don’t need fish, you can have Omega with vegetable or fish oil. It’s important, the Omegas.

I would also like to say that it is important to eat vegetables, because all diseases come from the intestines. You have to peel the tomatoes. You have to peel the peaches. You have to peel the apples, not just wash them. In our eyes, it’s microscopic, but the skin of the tomato is a wall of protection.
Van Damme, who does not follow the traditional rhythm of three meals a day, finally explains:
I eat six, seven, eight times a day. Small portions. If you eat three times a day, the body will retain 70% of the fat to protect you from hunger. You should eat five, six, seven times a day and your metabolism will slowly change so that the body retains only 30% fat. If you eat every hour, and eat well, then you can have a piece of chocolate. Life is short. You must eat chocolate, good chocolate. If one day you want fries, you should eat four or five good fries rather than twenty that taste like crap.
Meat is good maybe once a month. It is important to eat all kinds of foods. I asked my grandmother, I said to her: “Grandmother, how did you manage to live so long?”. And she replied, “It’s because I eat a lot of things.”
After long years of studying the human body in all its facets, Jean-Claude Van Damme has reached a stage that allows him to perfectly control everything he eats. Result ? A relentless lifestyle, for an incredible body despite its 62 years. What cement a little more the legend of JCVD.
