Marc Jacobs: Addicted to exercise

By now, it's no secret that famous designer Marc Jacobs has been to rehab a couple of times for help with his addictions to alcohol and drugs. But while replacing one addiction with another is usually not considered healthy, Jacobs has found one new addiction that is: Exercise.

In the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar, Jacobs admits that he often goes to the gym for three hours at a time. And he complements his new routine by eating well, following an eating plan prescribed to him by nutritionist Lisa Duncan to rid him of digestive problems. On the menu these days? Nutrient powerhouses like mangosteen, goji, noni, and açaí berries.

When asked what inspired him to change his unhealthy ways, Jacobs says: "I think about all the time I've lost suffering from the problems I've had, all the time I've spent in the bathroom being ill, and all the time I've spent moaning and groaning. Now I may not have as many hours in the office, but the hours I'm there I'm really present and, physically, I'm very comfortable, and I can concentrate and focus."

Amen!
