Blood type diet - secret behind Sir Cliff Richard’s slim physique
October 7th, 2010 - 5:25 pm ICT by ANILondon, Oct 07 (ANI): Sir Cliff Richard has revealed the secret behind his slim physique.

He can eat protein such as turkey and chicken and carbohydrates, such as rice, but has stopped drinking orange juice.
“I can’t eat red meat, one thing I do miss, but there’s a lot I can eat - chicken, fish, turkey - and I’ve developed a liking for soya milk, especially if it’s flavoured,” The Daily Mail quoted him as telling told Saga magazine.
The 5ft 10in star weighs 10st 10oz and has a 30-inch waist, the same size as he did 30 years ago. (ANI)
