Fit Addict Marc Jacobs

When designer Marc Jacobs began his second stint in rehab last March, he knew exactly what people were thinking. Drugs and alcohol would always be a vice for the outspoken creative. But this time around, something was different. Jacobs says he simply traded one vice for another, but so far, the change seems to be a good one. He’s become an addict – a gym addict!

Over a year ago, Jacobs sought medical help for digestion problems. None of the standard medicines helped – in fact, the side effects actually made him sicker. So he decided to go along with his nutritionist’s recommendations. Lindsey Duncan immediately put Jacobs on a plan consisting of frequent, small meals packed with natural foods such as mangosteen, goji, noni, and acai berries. She also recommended an exercise program that has developed into a full-scale addiction for Jacobs.

He now works out at the gym for up to three hours each day, putting his 44-year-old body into a youthful, vibrant state. As the Creative Director of Louis Vuitton and helmer of his personal Marc Jacobs line, he’s at the top of his career and his body.

However, Jacobs has one last vice he needs to break – cigarette smoking. It’s unbelievable that such a young, healthy-looking guy can spend three hours a day exercising, yet still puff on cigarettes. Hopefully he’ll drop the nicotine habit as he dropped alcohol and drugs.
