Diet & nutrition

Averages a 24-hour fast about every two weeks and a 72-hour fast about once a quarter. Drinks plenty of tea and chews sunflower seeds while fasting.

Willink told Business Insider he eats a mostly Paleo-style diet because that is when he performs well. He fasts periodically, though not on a strict schedule.
