“In an industry where so many leaders resemble talking sides of beef, Jobs’ trim figure is noticeable,” Brian Caulfield reports for Forbes.
“What’s his secret? The skinny, so to speak, on the Apple campus is Jobs’ gaunt frame says as much about his diet as his health. Jobs lunches with the troops in the Cupertino, Calif.-based company’s cafeteria–a place packed with the likes of fresh sushi and Smart Water,” Caulfield reports.
“And while Apple employees eat healthy, Jobs takes it to an extreme, one employee says, eating dark green vegetables such as broccoli and asparagus, grilled or steamed. Jobs has been a vegetarian for years but his enthusiasm for green may have taken on an extra dimension since his brush with cancer. Jobs has surgery in 2004 to treat pancreatic cancer, and, again, earlier this year, according to The New York Times, to address ‘a problem that was contributing to a loss of weight.’ The veg-heavy diet, however, likely will not help him pack on any pounds. ‘No wonder he’s cranky all the time,’ one Apple insider says,” Caulfield reports.
“Jobs’ diet is only the latest example of a high-profile technologist using mind to master matter. It’s one of the reasons technologists so often end up overweight,” Caulfield reports.

Interesting, prompting cancer as a cure for obesity.
I was sick for a month & lost 30 lbs. I call it the sickness diet. I always works!!!
I thought he had a “common bug”??
Just came back from hiking. You won’t lose those pounds if you don’t move and eat just the amount you actually need. There are no magic tricks! Period.
Just imagine how much Ballmer would weigh if he didn’t dance around and sweat so much. He burns tons of calories, yet still would roll if he tripped.
Steve Jobs should try my wife’s angel hair pasta salad to pack on a few carbs…it’s awesome…the secret ingredient is not obvious and she would have to kill you if you found out.
The full article is great. Roger Craig is from my hometown so it’s nice to hear he’s still doing well after football. And Steve’s diet sounds tasty but I couldn’t do the veg diet alone. I came thisclose to working at Google earlier this year and the cafeteria was definitely one of the perks.
Broccoli has been shown to eradicate cancer. Broccoli sprouts are an excellent preventative to put in salads. Add lots of veggies, brewers yeast, eggs, different types of veggie ‘meat’, avocados, nuts, baked potato, big chef salad with yummy dressing — weight loss won’t be a problem. Also eat lots of bananas and raw organic cream. Stir-fry on quinoa. Scrumptious vegetarian chimichangas. Easy to get and stay fat as a vegetarian!
Carbs store themselves as fat if you don’t burn them. Eat your carbs early in the day and not late in the day. For muscle tone, combine protein and carbs as fuel for muscle. Add a fiber/vegetable/milk and take a multivitamin a couple times a week. The GNC miracle concepts are taking billions from idiots.
This is too much… far too much. Steve’s just a CEO. What are you guys gonna be covering next?
Whether or not his underwears are too tight, and causing his blood pressure to rise like a helicopter?
What a pity! It goes a lot further than when Pope John Paul II was sick and near death… if you get it.
Guys we have survived 2 world wars, and Japan 2 atomic bomb explosions… so Apple will survive without Steve.
Jobs got Whippled!!!: surgically contorted alimentary canal to save his freaking life, elongate his…deserved life.
http://www.surgery.usc.edu/divisions/tumor/pancreasdiseases/web pages/pancreas resection/whipple operation.html
:
What is a Whipple operation?
In the Whipple operation the head of the pancreas, a portion of the bile duct, the gallbladder and the duodenum is removed. Occasionally a portion of the stomach may also be removed. After removal of these structures the remaining pancreas, bile duct and the intestine is sutured back into the intestine to direct the gastrointestinal secretions back into the gut.
I THINK,
which is an option
YOU opt,
that if I had MY alimentary canal [mouth-to-anus]
Whippled,
I WOULD HAVE SOME difficult literally GUT-WRENCHING [BUT, do-able] FREAKING…issues.
People, humans,
– access info
[“whipple”]
– engage logic
– shut the freak UP!!!
I thank you.
Nothing wrong with Jobs that a nice, juicy, 32-oz Porterhouse wouldn’t solve.
I propose lobotomies as a cure for fanboism.
“I propose lobotomies . . .”
How’s yours working out, KGB Afib?
I’m surprised your doctors found a brain.
“Wanna lose weight? Expend more calories than you take in. It works like magic.”
“Wanna make more money? Expend less money than you take in. It works like magic.”
Magic Word: Economics
Like my old prof told me, “if you don’t pay off your liabilities, your assets in jail.”
I suggest that they are NOT secrets.
America, here’s a thought: Portion Control
“In an industry where so many leaders resemble talking sides of beef …”
Hell, Steve Ballmer resembles a blabbering side of water buffalo!
“How’s yours working out, KGB Afib?

It took a colonoscopy to do it.
A pancreatojejunostomy will do it everytime!
@Ampar
I’m surprised your doctors found a brain.
Actually they castrated him and declared it good enough. If the update needs any remedies they’ll patch it next Tuesday.
Want to gain weight?
Try Ballmer’s diet. He knows how to be overweight.
“And a sensible Marlboro for lunch…..”
-excerpt from ‘The Chris Robinson Diet Plan’.
My brother, a heart surgeon, says that the 2nd procedure was probably a reverse jejunum to slow digestion, and allow for more nutrient absorption.
I have been on the Mac diet for years, stop in at MacDonalds Pick Up a couple of Macs (with Cheese and Bacon). Go home and plop my fat ass in front of another Mac or MacBook and read about all the other Fat guys.
Jeff
Do you stop by Frye’s also?
And don’t forget the, uh, Coke….
Finally, something I can comment on that I’ve actually done: lost 100 lbs since August 2007. Down to 175 which isn’t bad. I’m eating whatever I want, just a lot less of it. I’d like to eat healthier sometimes but I’m just not that big of a fan (heh) of many vegetables. I’ll eat them if they’re there but I don’t go out of my way. Probably something to do with my work schedule.
@TowerTone:
from The Simpsons, “Hi I’m Troy McClure. You might remember me from such motivational films as ‘Smoke Yourself Thin’, or ‘Get Confident, Stupid!'”
cracks me up…
Nothing goes better with a vegetarian omelet than a side of bacon.
Maginary,
Good for you. I’ll bet you feel a lot better.
Maginary
I remember hearing that line, and yes, it is very funny!
As far as dieting, I cut way back on sodium, sugar, HFCS, and carbs. I seem to have more energy, which in turn, helps me burn even more fat.
(but I do love me some purple hull peas, snap beans, okra and fresh corn…)
Cancer or not, Steve JObs is on the smart path. 25% of Americans are obese. Most eat crap, processed foods and way too much meat in their diets, and nowhere near enough grains, fruits and vegetables. Meat-heavy diets lead to an increased risk of heart disease and cancer — this is a proven fact. We live in a society where people would rather deal with health problems on the receiving end — as in, take medication, get surgery, stay in the hospital — thandda take proactive, preventive steps to avoid the occurrence of such problems in the first place. As smart a businessman as JObs may be, his decision to adhere to a healthy, vegetarian diet is likely the smartest move he’s ever made.
The problem with weight loss is: BEER.
And wine.
It seems you have to be a teetotaler if you really want to lose weight, which is very depressing. Another reason for legalisation. Smoke the good stuff instead of drinking, and shave hundreds of calories from your diet. Not to mention being much happier…
I think vegetarians are great. Just think about it, in time these people may evolve to the point they can live on grass alone. Then if something would ever kill off the cattle, we will still have something to herd and eat.
How is Steve’s diet anything to do with Mac news? Leave his personal life alone. Cherish every day he’s CEO of Apple. Nuff said.
Is KGB suffering from his full frontal lobotomy ?
or his constant thoughts of … a full bottle in front of me?

Maybe he meant lowbottomy.
Lost 33 lbs over the course of the last 8 months. Reduced my intake of bread, sugar, rice, and noodles while walking 1-2 miles a day around my neighborhood.
Never felt better. Everyone should try this from time to time.
Looking like Steve Jobs sure as hell beats looking like the overweight, fat gutted, sweaty, Steve Ballmer.
Who’s heath should be questioned more here?
All of this is just to keep the health issue in play. It’s probably microcrud FUD. None of us mac faithful worry about S.J.’s health. He will rise again 3 day’s after he dies… Just like Elvis, and Morrison, Cobain, and ….
Apparently, he’s not been a vegan or full-fledged vegetarian since the 2004 operation. His doctor apparently ordered him to “Eat fish”. That would make him a pisco-vegetarian.
“Pisco-vegetarians eat vegetables PLUS fish. Not really vegetarians, but …”
apparently Steve Jobs is a hardcore vegetarian at a minimum, and probably a vegan and buddhist. actually i’m just guessing here, but it is possible he would flat out ignore such unresponsive and cavalier advice, to not eat a proper diet.
