Judging by his being in decent shape, I would guess that he not only eats sensibly, but probably gets off his butt and walks around, from time to time. I see him as a fruit and vegetable guy.

[Of course Chet may have a painting of himself, fat, wearing a scruffy jogging suit, rheumy-eyed and ill-groomed, in his attic, which would explain it all.]

That's true. The main item in the Chet Baker diet was smack.

But he sure didn't carry a lot of fat around.

And just to ensure you stick to it, they knock your teeth out. Gummin' down a steak sounds about as bad as it would feel.

Mr. Atkins died almost two years ago... June 30, 2001. He remains a legend, and always will.
